The Bangabandhu-Bapu digital exhibition was virtually inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in December 2020. In January 2021, Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Muhammad Imran, accompanied by the officers of the mission, visited the exhibition at New Delhi’s Vigyan Bhavan and were guided by its curator Birad Rajaram Yajnik. It has 21 walls of information and 100 points of digital engagement. The walk through history begins with these words: Two extraordinary men at different times in history changed the destiny of their people, one adopting Ahimsa, while the other embraced his language to carve an identity against the oppressors.

There are many stories that focus on business and governance, diaspora and international affairs. Hope your time spent reading through is a pleasant one.
