Syed Abdullah Khalid: The sculptor of 'Aprajita Bangla'
Syed Abdullah Khalid, Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Chittagong University (Institute of Fine Arts) was present. There were still - Professor Alok Roy. Our sculpture teaches us to these two famous sculptors. Khalid sir gave us a sphere with our soil in the first class of the first year, remembering. I remember, perhaps that year, one day after 1993, after the film exhibition of the Chittagong Film Center, a common restaurant outside the East Gate of the Medical College was present in the chat room and everyone was sitting in the chat room, he paid the bill. Khalid Sir Chittagong Film Center Advisor at that time.
Looking back, we also remember the 'Cyclostyle-style' printed hand-written magazine 'flow', which we used to photograph the 'Ankur' sculpture once upon the last cover of a number. And with shame also remember that I could not write the name of the sculpture that day! A catalog of his sculpture show came to us through somebody, and he was very stirred.

Some of us will remember, the first one in the 90's in the Desert of Chittagong DC He used to sell doves in the mountains! It was against 'artistic protest' against marketing of coco-pepsi, an unhealthy, yet-released drink. He did this because of the fact that he would have done this - it would have been wrong to take it. Although he had a selfish disposition, he used to get angry sometimes; Due to his various activities, behavior and position, he also gave birth to controversy at various times.
I heard a story about the incident surrounding Syed Abdullah Khalid, Nisargi Dwijen Sharma and Goddess Sharma. Once Dwijen Sharma bought a picture of Soviet national memorial-sculpture from World War II and bought it from Moscow, the author of 'Aparajya Bangla' Syed Abdullah Khalid Both were people of greater Sylhet, though they did not face face-to-face identity. Surprisingly, even after passing year after year no reply was received from the recipient! Nearly a decade later - the Soviet Union abolished from the map of the world, the translation-division of Pragati Pratishtha got up, Sharma and the couple finally returned to Dhaka from Moscow - a winter-night in January of 1996, eleven the night, the bridegroom on the next day, their Siddeshwari's door was knocked on the door. Whoever was seen to open the door, wearing a pair of pockets, And all the pockets came out of the pockets with a variety of pieces - including the gift given to Goddess Sharman. It has been known that - his name 'Khalid', he has come to 'accept the loan'! He will return to Mirpur, to give him the Bailey Road; Dwijen Sharma; Twelve passed, no one was found in the scooter (Baby Taxi). He told the driver of the cruising scooter who wanted to return home, he is a teacher of the university, but it is difficult that he has only twenty taka with him at the moment. The conductor of the court agreed with the courtesy and lifted him. But after a short time came back to the scooter, the descendant came down, pocketed an orangle, gave it to Dwijen Sharma - 'It's for you'! Twelve passed, no one was found in the scooter (Baby Taxi). He told the driver of the cruising scooter who wanted to return home, he is a teacher of the university, but it is difficult that he has only twenty taka with him at the moment. The conductor of the court agreed with the courtesy and lifted him. But after a short time came back to the scooter, the descendant came down, pocketed an orangle, gave it to Dwijen Sharma - 'It's for you'! Twelve passed, no one was found in the scooter (Baby Taxi).

In the morning the next morning, Syed Abdullah Khalid came to Siddheswari - along with various tools including kulka-dalah for the decoration of golhaluds and three-four industrialists. They declared that they would not eat anything; Flasheed tea and sweet made for them. After completing the work all day, they received a gift from Goddess Sharma before going out - 'You must wear this sarita on the wedding day of the girl'. It was known that this same sari has been bought one more for wife Kulosum, on the wedding day she will come with the sari khalid with Khalid. Came. Later, Khalid sent the pictures of the wedding to Sharma and couple. But after that disappeared again!

Not for any other sculpture, but for any other work, Syed Abdullah Khalid will remember Bangladesh for this memorial sculpture titled 'Aparajeya Bangla'. However, if the consciousness of the liberation war in this country is not merely a memoir, in the context of education-culture-politics, in the absence of superhuman and non-communalism, the increasingly backwardness of communalism can be prevented, the unacceptable charge of hurting [state] religious beliefs against paintings and statues or sculptures And if it is not given to the call, only then 'unbeatable' or La "to provide inspiration for the future of the progressive movement more generations will be standing tall.
