FINALLY!!! WE HAVE WON🔥🔥

The past one month has been hell for Bangladeshi students and citizens.After leading a life of undemocracy we have earned our freedom😭

The blood shed that has happened,the students we lost,the teachers we lost nothing will ever compensate for it,may their souls find peace with this victory.

We Bangladeshi students say,after the death of so many companions the July never ended.We continued to count it as 32 July and more.

TODAY,36TH JULY 2024 SHALL BE MARKED IN HISTORIES PAGES FOR EVER🔥❤️🔥

This moment reminds me of 1971,our great leader Bangabandhu said it himself, "রক্ত যখন দিয়েছি তখন রক্ত আরো দেব!!! দেশকে স্বাধীন করেই ছাড়বো!!"

"When we have given blood, we will give more blood!!! We will leave after the country is free!"

🇧🇩🔥❤️✊

From an icy source of a Himalayan glacier, the Yamuna feeds into the mighty Ganges, flowing more than 3,100 kilometres to the sea in the Bay of Bengal. But barely 400 kilometres into that journey, the water passing New Delhi is already effectively dead. The parliamentary report warned of an “excessive presence of heavy metals” and cancer-causing pollutants ranging from arsenic to zinc, from everything from batteries to pesticides. “Contamination… transform it into a carrier of untreated industrial waste, garbage, agricultural run-off and municipal waste,” the report read. “This has a profound effect on the well-being of the people”. Government statistics say 80 per cent of the pollution load is raw sewage, far exceeding permissible levels for bathing. Levels fluctuate, but in one spot in 2021 in south Delhi, faecal bacteria levels exceeded maximum health regulations by 8,800 times.

If you were interested what the flood looks like. To remind you, India did this. People, animal, children are drowning. So many dead already.

FV INDAPV5MM 495 loss by fire; all 5 crew saved; #india #bengal #fishing

Photo: thehindu.com On September 15, the fishing vessel INDAPV5MM 495 caught fire in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of Visakhapatnam, India. The fire started from a mechanical fault and quickly engulfed the vessel. The five crew on board were forced to abandon ship into the sea. The vessel INDAPV5MM 894 was nearby and was able to rescue all five crew. No reports of injuries and all the crew was…

���Over the last 40 years, small-holder farmers in Bangladesh have, using very simple methods, turned the dry Bengal Basin into one of the richest croplands on Earth where two to three rice harvests can be had per year.

They created a climate-resilient water system dubbed “The Bengal Water Machine” that has kept an underground reservoir topped up, even through extensive mechanized irrigation, by accumulating seasonal monsoon rains totaling a volume of 75 to 90 cubic kilometers of water... or if you’d prefer the figure in gallons, 23,775,484,712,233.00 (23.7 trillion).

This was found in a recent study, awaiting peer-review, that took one million water measurements from 465 separate wells between 1998 and 2018.

Compiled by Mohammad Shamsudduha, a data analyst and researcher at the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London, it shows that humanity doesn’t necessarily need expensive science-fiction technology to ensure that cropland can remain irrigated if climate change corresponds to more intense droughts in the future.

That’s because The Bengal Water Machine is made up of nothing more than regular old wells dug less than 300 feet down, which increase the capture of the May-October Monsoon rains and prevent them from draining into the Bay of Bengal.” -via Good News Network, 11/30/22

I am proud of the citizens of my country but

The picture above is from my friend.

I just want to say that while the people we lost can never me brought back, the mothers that cried endless night can never be brought back but that doesn't mean the current ordinary people should suffer.

By that I mean, there is this girl from one of my friends building that ranway from her house. Apparently her uncle used to be in the awami league. So today when the people went to their house to find her uncle they didn't find him and instead they broke stuff in her house and her dad was badly beaten up. No one in her family was related to any sort of politics yet they were injured and they aren't even that financially stable to fix all the things.

The story above will certainly take place in many homes now.l get it the people of awami league brought hell to us and if you have a bone to pick with them then go pick it with THEM, why are you abusing the common people?

Why are ruining the freedom you fought for? We are a great nation when united please do not ruin it.

It is also going around that,Awami league is doing destruction on their own buildings, people and specially torturing hindus to frame us. India will think that "Oh no the Hindus are getting tortured as soon as Hasina is gone." So they'll try to fight for Hasina.

this way Hasina will be able to get back in her position and then torture us again.

By this post I want to spread awareness,anyone from anywhere if you are reading this please spread it.The evils of our country are trying to pit us against other countries,we common people,students have no part in the destruction that is currently taking place.Everyone stand by eachother, we have proved time and time again that bengalis are undefeatable once united🇧🇩❤

इसके पहले मैंने कभी समुद्र नहीं देखा था। इस विशालकाय समंदर को, जिसकी न कोई शुरुआत है न कोई अंत है, उसे अपनी इन बाल-सुलभ आँखों से देखकर मैं निशब्द था। बालू में चहलकदमी करते हुए और आती हु��ं लहरों के कोलाहल को सुनते हुए मैं सब कुछ भूल चुका था, अपनी सारी परेशानियाँ, सारी दुखद स्मृतियाँ, सारी अभिलाषाएँ! इन सारे राग द्वेष से मुक्त, मैं समुद्र के साथ एकीकृत हो चुका था, मानो उसमें विलीन हो गया हूँ, खो चुका था उस क्षण में! काश समय वहीं थम जाता ! काश मुझे असलियत में वापस न आना होता !
