"Past Events" is the result of collection and compilation of some of my articles, reviews and letters published in the newspapers and magazines of Calcutta, Dhaka and Sydney, regarding the occurrence of the events in the past. In this book, as far as feasible, stress is laid on the chronological place of each article on the event. I hope and trust that reading of this book will be beneficial to my readers, because reading makes a person knowledgeable and knowledge is power. I look forward to the benefit of increasing number of my readers who will read this book.
