Family's Economic Condition
Nabin Talukdar was his family's only provider. Running a tiny grocery store, he struggled throughout his life. In Kapasia, Gazipur, he also operated a nursery. He never stopped working to keep the family moving forward. But everything came to a halt with his premature demise. The store shut down, and the nursery's verdant fields now totally silent. It appears that the family has fallen into a terribly dark uncertainty. The family's plight has become immense after his death. There are two young children at home—a boy and a girl—who are still on the path to education. Their dreams seem to be lost behind the clouds. There is an elderly mother in the house, who is bent under the weight of various ailments. There are no financial resources for her treatment, no support. Nabin Talukdar's absence has created a huge void, which cannot be filled in any way.
Incident of Martyrdom
The anti-discrimination student movement, which started on June 5, 2024, gradually gained the support of the student community and the general public across the country. Students took to the streets demanding the abolition of the quota system in government recruitment, and this movement spread to every corner of the country. On July 14, the autocratic Sheikh Hasina, the president of the Awami League, further fueled the protests with an inflammatory speech, labeling the protesting students as "Razakars." The students vowed to continue their protest peacefully. But in contrast, the government and its supported terrorist forces united to suppress this peaceful movement. On Friday afternoon, July 19, 2024, police-led RAB, BGB, and terrorists from the Awami League and its affiliated organizations carried out a barbaric attack on a peaceful procession of anti-discrimination students and the public on Kalvert Road, under Paltan Model Police Station.
Numerous people were injured and killed by bullets, tear gas, rubber bullets, and grenades. During this bloody clash, Md. Nabin Talukdar was shot in the head and body. He was quickly taken to Islami Bank Kakrail Hospital, but when they failed to administer saline there, he was transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The doctors on duty at Dhaka Medical pronounced Nabin dead. After Nabin Talukdar's death, another farce began. Attempts were made to identify his body as unidentified, and even a conspiracy to hide his body was started. Pressure was exerted to file false cases against the students and the public with the help of the police.
After wandering around Paltan, Ramna, and Shahbagh police stations, his body was finally handed over to his family on July 20 at 8 pm after the autopsy. Nabin's family members brought his body to their Dhaka residence in Shyampur, where the funeral was held in the presence of thousands of people. Later, Nabin's family left with his body for Indrakul village in Bauphal Upazila of Patuakhali. On July 21 at 10 am, Nabin Talukdar was buried in the family graveyard in his village. This Shaheed of the student movement left behind an endless pain, which is still deeply etched in the hearts of Nabin's family and every student participating in the movement.
Ashikur Rahman, Nephew
"My uncle was truly a great man. Whoever in the area was in trouble, he would be the first to stand by their side. His heart was full of compassion. He was dedicated not only to his own family, but to the entire community. He organized various sports and social activities to prevent the youth of the area from going astray. Everyone was encouraged to do something good through his initiatives. His absence is an irreparable loss for all of us."
Syed Khalilur Rahman, Maternal Uncle
“Nabin Talukdar was my dear nephew. When his father died, he was only three years old. Since then, I have taken care of him. I paid all the expenses of his education so that he could attain higher education. He passed his HSC from my house. Nabin was extremely talented. After passing his degree, he got admitted to Masters at Jagannath College, but unfortunately, he could not complete it. He was loved by everyone; he had an extraordinary ability to mingle with people. Politically, he was an active worker and leader of the BNP. His sudden death has left an indelible void for all of us.” These words have been expressed in a literary way, where emotions and people's love have been highlighted.
