Bangladesh Observer (formerly
Pakistan Observer), on February 13, went past quietly, unnoticed both by the press circle and civil society. This amounts to disparaging the contribution of a pioneering elder in the profession who had virtually laid the foundations of our nascent English journalism and brought it to a solid footing. It is more often than not we tend to forget our heroes, which in terms of historical perspective is an obvious fault line in our culture. Such anniversaries provide meaningful perspective to the legacies and challenges they faced in discharging their obligations to society.
