Md. Khalid Hossain Shanto

Our Bangladesh is a country ruled by an inferior ruler. On March 9, 2007, Khalid Hossain Shanto came into the world, brightening the home of Md. Motaleb Mia in Raypara village, Chachra Union, Jessore District, Bangladesh. He was born after a long 13 years of his parents' marriage by the infinite mercy of Allah. His father is a rickshaw puller by profession, and his mother is an ideal housewife.
The Dream of Higher Education Was Shattered by Goons
Shanto came from a very poor family. His father was the only breadwinner in his family. He tried to fulfill all the needs of the family. Shanto's dream was to become highly educated and stand by his family. He wanted to alleviate the suffering of his parents. He wanted to give his parents a beautiful life. But the autocratic Awami ruling group and helmet forces did not let his dream come true. His parents say while crying, "Who will we dream about now? Who will take care of us? Who will go to our graves and pray to Allah for us?"
How Khalid Hossain Shanto Became a Shaheed
The Awami psychopathic government engaged in an undeclared war with students in July 2024 AD. The Tokai League, carrying foreign firearms, Chinese rifles, knives, machetes, and domestic weapons, pounced like wild animals on the protesting students and the public in various places of the city. Helmet-wearing police fired indiscriminately at the students' justified movement. From passers-by to innocent babies in their mothers' arms, no one was spared from their bullets. Shanto's father saw him at the street corner during the one-point demand movement. During the movement, Shaheed Shanto entered Hotel Zabeer out of curiosity.
On that day, the Awami fiends set fire to businesses, factories, and government offices. Zabeer Hotel was reduced to ashes in their act of destruction. Shaheed Khalid Hossain Shanto, who was staying in the hotel, was not spared from the goons. At one point, he wrapped his shirt around his hand and started waving it from the 9th floor, shouting "Save me, save me!" The protesters rescued Shanto. By then, his whole body was burnt. Due to the complete shutdown, they faced various obstacles while taking Shanto to the hospital. Even after that, they took him to Jessore Sadar Hospital. By then, Khalid Hossain Shanto had answered the call of Allah and drunk the nectar of Martyrdom. The doctors at the hospital said, "Shanto is our inspiration, we are eternally indebted to him."
Shaheed Shanto, the Vanguard of the Movement
From the very beginning of the movement, Md. Khalid Hossain Shanto participated unreservedly. He regularly participated in the movement for the realization of students' rights and the creation of a discrimination-free Bangladesh. To suppress this just movement, the autocratic government's police and goons carried out brutal torture on the studৃents and the public. On the morning of the day of his Martyrdom, when he wanted to go to the movement, his mother said to him, "What will happen to us if something happens to you? What will become of us?" Shanto explained to his mother in gentle and humble words, "Mom, if Abu Saeed can take five bullets, then I will die after being shot, Mom, I will be was being martyred, I am leaving."
His mother says, "Don't go, you are my only son, I have no one else. Who will bury me? Who will feed us?" "Mom, if I am was being martyred, then I will wait for you in Paradise," Shanto said. "In this world, I leave you in the custody of Allah and to my victorious brothers," saying this, Shanto left the house. And he did not return, nor will he ever return to his mother's arms. His parents became childless again. Shanto was the only child of his parents. Shanto's mother Khadija Begum's wails seem to never stop.
How is Shanto's Family?
Shanto's parents have become childless. His parents were happy to have a child after 13 years of their marriage. But they lost him again at the age of 18. After Shanto's Martyrdom, his mother became very ill and cannot speak properly. The Awami Tokai League has made Shanto's mother childless again.
Memories Left Behind
From a young age, Shanto was very gentle. He used to brighten the classroom with his beautiful behavior with everyone. He respected his parents, teachers, and elders. He loved to do good to others. The teachers constantly feel his absence. The teachers are proud to have Shaheed Khalid Hossain Shanto as a student. The teachers are constantly praying for him that Allah may grant Shaheed Shanto Paradise.
