As a Counter Part officer of FEEM
(Finance for Economics and Economic Management) Course for Mid-level officers
of Bangladesh Civil Service conducted by Financial Management Reform programme
in collaboration with Financial Management Academy, I had an opportunity to
visit Commonwealth War Cemetery of Comilla in 2006 in connection with a study
tour. In my opinion, this cemetery inspires people to dedicate for the sake of
truth, welfare and overall democratic hopes and aspiration.
Freedom is such a word with which a
man can cherish to develop his lot in respect of cultivating mechanism of
democratic institution as a faltering flow. If we look around the tomb, we will
find the names of the world heroes of different castes and creed throughout the
world. As a wordless bystander of world history, Commonwealth war cemetery is
situated with its past magnificence at Mynamati of Comilla enthralling the
ecstasy of loneliness under ever green natural beauties delimited by numerous
plants, trees, grasslands and herbs. About uncountable attractions of the
people, this memorial park has been engraved with respects and dignity. Even
if, this world cemetery has added a new dimension of this glorified district
towards heritage, culture and ritual of Bangladesh. Not only in Bangladesh,
this historical cemetery has won the outstanding vision of the people all the
way through out the whole world which whip the heart of the people in the sense
that the heroes who had laid down their lives for the cause of egalitarianism
and emancipation of the country are really the great men who have not well
thought-out their self greediness rather they have dyed-in-the-wool their lives
to run off with freedom from the despotic rulers.
Due to the gallant touch-wood of
mammoth memories of World War II (1939-!945), the name of this historical
cemetery has been spread far and near in due sense of honour and high esteem
for such freedom fighter as they had dedicated their lives for the just cause
of heroic deeds. They did not lag behind from the warfare thinking about their
children, fathers and wives and their close kith and kin. They have never
looked behind and never been deviated from their sacred duties to safeguard
their mother land bedded on good faith, unity and trust with the creator. They
have never made any breach of trust with the widespread people and their blood
mixed with their reliance and philosophy of life. This memorial tomb is in
times gone by momentous because the soldiers from different walks of life
coupled together and fought in the battle turf. They died for the sake of
freedom and success to establish democratic rights of the people. They are the
symbols of national hero and the people from different countries of the world
memorialize their painstaking life of war with acclamation bedded on praise and
somber mood.
According to the accounts placed on
the wall of the world cemetery, 736 soldiers have been buried here symbolizing
their contribution in World War II for their courage, heroism and hardihood.
The soldiers were from Russia, Japan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Burma and
many other parts of the world. The carved names upon these necropolises are
undoubtedly declaring their loyalties to establish equality and liberty of the
people. We behold the tomb glittered with golden rays of the sun with
cosmopolitan outlook and find unrestrained spiritual and eternal peace of life.
