Muhammed Zafar Iqbal said that his first book was published from Subarna, previously known as Mawla Brothers. He hoped that “Akashe Anek Mukh” will give readers a glimpse into the Liberation War.
Badal Syed said: “I believe that it is our duty to write more on 1971. I have very little memory of 1971 as I was between four and five years old back then. Some of the stories in this book are written based on the incidents I witnessed back then. My elder brother was a freedom fighter and he inspired me to tell the stories of the Liberation War.”
