This year we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of our victory. The heroic resistance and supreme sacrifice of our freedom fighters has been an inspiration for the next generation. The expression of the glory and sacrifice of the Liberation War is depicted in different ways in our art. ‘Let there be Light’ is an attempt by artist Ashok Karmaker to revere the Liberation War and the Freedom Fighters of Bangladesh.
