Beatle George Harrison Looks On

EDITORS COMMENTS
This undated file photo captures a poignant moment as former Beatle George Harrison observes with deep contemplation during his visit to the Shankar family in Calcutta in 1972. The image serves as a reminder of the profound impact that Harrison, along with US Senator Ted Kennedy, had on Bangladesh's struggle for independence in 1971. Masood Sobhan, a passionate Bangladeshi lawyer, has taken it upon himself to fight for official recognition of these two influential figures by his country. Sobhan believes it is an absolute disgrace that neither Harrison nor Kennedy were formally thanked by Bangladesh for their instrumental role in raising global awareness about its war of independence against Pakistan. The photograph itself, captured by Tekee Tanwar and published by Agence France-Presse (AFP), encapsulates the essence of this historical moment. It portrays Harrison's gaze filled with empathy and understanding towards the plight faced by Bangladesh during those turbulent times. Sobhan's battle now rests within the walls of Bangladesh's high court, where he hopes justice will prevail and acknowledgment will be granted to these remarkable individuals who selflessly championed Bangladesh's cause. This print stands not only as a testament to their unwavering support but also as a symbol of gratitude that should have been expressed long ago. As we reflect upon this powerful image, let us recognize the significance of acknowledging those who played pivotal roles in shaping history and honoring them appropriately for their contributions.
