Their sacrifice for freedom must be requited
The other day, a news on 'Birangonas' caught my attention. These women were sexually assaulted, oppressed and molested during the Liberation War by the Pakistani army and their cohorts. Reading about the miserable condition of these great women, I couldn't hold my tears. The Birangonas are still suffering from social stigma and leading inhuman lives. What a shame for us as a nation! Instead of honouring them, society has alienated them. Most of these war heroines are at the fag end of their lives who wished to lead the rest of their lives with respect. We should come forward to help them as they have sacrificed so much and we owe them a lot.
