Tawhid Sanyamat

Tawhid Sanyamat was born on July 14, 2007 in the village of Suchiadanga in the Madaripur district. From the very beginning of his life, he was surrounded by the harsh reality of poverty. His father's name is Md. Salah Uddin Sanyamat, who is a day laborer by profession and 60 years old. For this family, daily struggle was a normal occurrence.
Tawhid grew up in a rural environment. His relationship with everyone was unparalleled. Due to his sociable nature, he easily won everyone's hearts. From his childhood playmates to learning from experienced people, he learned the lessons of life's struggles. Social and economic poverty forced him to take the burden of the family on his own shoulders at a young age.
Working as a construction worker, Tawhid faced new challenges every day. But he never let a shadow of despair fall on his face. In this way, he rediscovered life, where the value of hard work is the real key to happiness. Tawhid's life story depicts the image of an ideal young man who moves forward with a commitment to live amidst hardship.
The Mark of Poverty on the Martyr's Family
Tawhid Sanyamat's life is like a portrait of a tragic story. A family of five, of which Tawhid is the middle one among three brothers. Their house, made of tin roof, is a small shelter of only two rooms. The family does not own any land other than the homestead of this house, as if a struggling life floating in the void. No one in the family is able to earn except Tawhid's father. The entire family tries to keep the situation afloat, relying on the father's shoulders. Tawhid himself, as a construction worker, earned hard-earned money, with which they barely managed to survive. Bound by the chains of poverty, this family is engaged in a daily struggle for survival, and no other dream beyond earning a living day by day comes within their reach.
The mark of this inhuman life seems to be caught in every breath they take. This family survives only in the hope of the coming day. But their life is like waiting for a watercourse in a rainless desert. Although Tawhid's family is submerged in the darkness of poverty, an inextinguishable desire to live burns within them, which is a faint source of light in the midst of their daily suffering.
Background of the Incident
On July 18, 2024, like the rest of the country, a wave of anti-discrimination student movement spread in Madaripur in protest against the attacks by Awami terrorists. Students, inspired by the demand for justice, took to the streets. Their voices carried the call for the establishment of rights. The locals also wholeheartedly supported the students' peaceful movement. But on that day, some unrest and barbaric attacks took place. As a result, a student named Dipto Dey lost his life and many were injured. After this tragic incident, anger and frustration arose in the minds of the people of Madaripur. The next day, July 19, the situation became even more heated when students and the public gathered and again took to the streets in protest against the autocratic Hasina's Baksal. They wanted justice and an end to exploitation. But they faced obstacles in this struggle. Although they were unarmed, they did not lose courage in their attempt to resist. They took to the streets peacefully to claim their rights.
Tawhid Sanyamat, an ordinary construction worker, had studied up to the 7th grade. His friends were part of this movement, and the news of the attack on them deeply shook Tawhid. At around 3 pm, Tawhid decided that he had to stand up for justice. Without saying anything to anyone, he left the house to join the protest march. At approximately 5 pm, during the protest at Khagdi, on the outskirts of Madaripur city, Tawhid was seriously injured and martyred there. This sacrifice of Tawhid gave new inspiration to the participants of the movement.
Tawhid's death united the students and the public even more strongly. Paying respect to him, the protesters stood together and tried to bring Madaripur to a peaceful path free from Awami terrorism. Tawhid Sanyamat was an ordinary person whose heart contained a strong determination to fight against injustice. His sacrifice gives people new strength and keeps him remembered as a symbol of justice.
Feelings about the Martyr
Tawhid was an amiable, affectionate son, who was dedicated to every member of the family. The elder brother's voice sheds light on the tragic story of his self-sacrifice, "Tawhid was truly an extraordinary boy. He used to pray regularly, and faithfully performed his religious duties. When he saw the family's economic condition was fragile, he stopped his own dreams and left his studies to pay for my education and help his father. Standing by his father, he joined the labor work, so that the wheel of the family could keep running."
The words accumulated in the mother's heart seem to roll down like tears, "My son used to tell me, 'Mom, you have no worries anymore. I will go abroad, build a house, and remove all your suffering. I will take responsibility for both brothers, and I will not let Dad suffer anymore.'" Every word of Tawhid seemed to be shining like a lighthouse of promises, with the light of which he wanted to bring a smile to the faces of his parents. Tawhid was a beacon of light for the family, every step of whose life was a selfless lamp of love, responsibility, and sacrifice. But that lamp went out, leaving behind the incompleteness of his dreams and promises, and a black cloud of emptiness deep in the family's heart.
