As the Liberation War marks its 50th year, the number of people who lived through those are being increasingly outnumbered by those born later. In such a time, it is important to establish practises that remind later generations of the spirit of the war.
An initiative by cycling collective Cycle Travelers of Sylhet aims to do just that. For three years, they have been walking across the city s mass graves in commemoration of the war.
