A humble endeavor

Muktadhara, New York, started its journey in 1991, with intent of spreading the richness of Bangla language and culture all over the world. Every year, since 1992, Muktadhara has observed the 'Shahid Dibash' in front of United Nations by erecting temporary 'Shahid minar'. Since its inception, every year Muktadhara has been arranging 'book fair' to raise public awareness and support for getting 21st February declared as the 'International Language Day' by United Nations. In the past 14 years, Muktadhara has organized more than 100 book fairs all over the United States and Canada. Muktadhara has donated many Bangla books to 26 mainstream libraries as well as to various universities. Publications of DVD of Bangla movie, arrangement of Bangla film festival, are some of the achievements of Muktadhara, in the past decade and a half.
Muktadhara is planning to honor 10 greatest alive Bangali personalities who have made significant contributions in our socio-economic, political and cultural development. These 10 greatest alive Bangali personalities will be selected by the vote of all Bangla speaking people all over the world. These personalities will be honored by Muktadhara at a ceremony at Manhattan Center, New York, USA, on August 28, 2005.
