Theme Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman provided a rabble rousing charismatic leadership (Ali, 1973). He was a Bengali nationalist politician and the founder of Bangladesh (William, 2009). He headed the Awami League, served as the first President of Bangladesh and later became its Prime Minister of Bangladesh. He is popularly referred to as Sheikh Mujib and with the honorary title of Bangabandhu. It has been observed that ― “No man in the entire history of modern world except Mao for different reasons has hypnotized his people as Mujib did” (Bhatnagar, 1971). I have just tried to show all released banknotes of the father of our nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1971-2021) to show my respect to this great personality.
