Syllabus: PMGS 19 (1)

The University of Dhaka is one of the rare examples of higher seats of learning which acted as a catalyst and performed the most significant role in the strenuous struggle for independent identity of a social community. Ultimately, in the tumultuous journey of the human beings in this deltaic geography, it took the lead, supplied the drive, gave the impetus and at the end of a critical juncture of internal colonialism established a nation which was there but got the solid footing in the global theatre. Along with this, the Dhaka University in one sense helped most to give birth to an independent country through long struggle culminating in a critical phase of liberation war. This is an institution which did its best to create a country, a new flag, a new state and a governance of our own.
