Hannan

Shaheed Hannan was born on January 30, 1992, in the village of Bara Bari, Maishamura, Hajiganj Upazila, Chandpur. His father's name is Md. Amin Mia, and his mother's name is Rasida Begum. He spent his childhood and adolescence in his own village. Being from a lower-middle-class family, Shaheed Hannan entered the workforce after leaving secondary school. He came to Dhaka to earn a living after getting married. He started a bakery business in Badda city of the capital with three friends. He named it "Apon Bakery". Gradually the business grew bigger. As a result, the family's financial hardship was quickly alleviated. As a result, Hannan did not delay in fulfilling all the wishes and desires of his wife. Thus, one day after another passed in a happy family. Husband and wife waited for an unborn child to share this happiness. Then that dream of Hannan came true. His wife became pregnant. Overjoyed, he sought blessings for his "Nilmoni" from his brothers and sisters, relatives, and everyone else.
Movement Beyond Happiness
Suddenly, in July 2024, a peaceful movement of students and citizens started across the country against the quota system. In this situation, the then autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina mocked the students by calling them Razakars. The peaceful movement turned into a mass movement due to the fear arising from the massacre. The mass movement turned into a frontal war. The result of the war was a change of government. Therefore, it can be said that the past July-August was the month of movement.
Reasons for Joining the Movement
Every day, while going to his workplace, Hannan perceived the movement of students and citizens on the streets. Inspired by the movement, he thought every day that he would join the movement today, but he had to return late at night due to spending time on his bakery business. Disregarding all that, on Thursday, July 18th, he joined the movement without thinking anything. He imagined in his mind that he would liberate the subjugated country from the autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina and tell his wife and unborn child the story of his heroism.
Context of Martyrdom
That day, the autocratic Hasina's henchmen and police force surrounded the Badda area. They started firing countless bullets at the students and citizens all around. Suddenly, a bullet hit Hannan's thigh. He fell to the ground. Locals quickly admitted him to Kurmitola Hospital. When his condition worsened, the hospital authorities ordered him to be taken to Dhaka Medical. Then, on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at half past four in the morning, Hannan died.
Upon receiving the news, the martyr's father-in-law took his body to the village. The family broke down in tears. The sky and air became heavy with the wailing of the pregnant wife and mother. The elderly father lamented, "My beloved has left me! With whom shall I share my heart's words now?" Amin Mia liked Hannan the most among his children. That is why he was spending his retirement life with his youngest son, not with the rest of his sons. Then the martyr's body was taken to the bier to read the funeral prayer. After the funeral prayer was completed in the mosque premises, he was buried in the family graveyard of Bara Bari, Maishamura, Hajiganj.
Post-Martyrdom Life of the Family
The family is mourning the sudden death of Shaheed Hannan. He was married only seven months ago. When the ancestral land was divided among the five brothers, he received twelve decimals of land. After his death, the four brothers are trying to occupy that land together. The martyr's wife is currently with her parents-in-law. At this moment, there is no extra income in the martyr's family. Hannan was the only one who provided for the expenses of his parents and his wife's family. The martyr's father says, "Where is the safety of my children? Are we really alive? Or are we living corpses?"
Feelings of Loved Ones
Fahad Bhuiyan, the martyr's father-in-law, said, "My son-in-law was a very good person. He always took care of my niece. Hannan won the hearts of our family in just seven months. I never saw him get angry. He was a very responsible son to his parents. His death has caused grief to our two families. The assassin's bullet has widowed my young niece. I want the hanging of those who killed Hannan. I want his trial. This grief is not something we can forget."
"The account of life stands on the assembly or non-assembly of many digits. Facing the harsh reality, it is seen that the account of the past no longer matches. Somewhere a discrepancy is caught. However, let the account continue in the rhythm of the account. And let us learn to live in the rhythm of life.
