M Serajul Islam: a voice of truth against tyranny
AMBASSADOR M Serajul Islam, affectionately known as ‘Shobuj’ (meaning evergreen) to family and friends, passed away on August 11, 2024, at the age of 77. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy of service, wisdom, and courage that has deeply influenced Bangladesh’s intellectual and diplomatic landscape.
