Laal Jatra

Concept: Rahul Ananda

‘Laal Jatra’ is a rally that commemorates the Bengalis who had been killed at the dead of night on 25 March, 1971 by the Pakistani Army, marked as one of the most inconsiderate mass killing ever occurred in the world history. Prachyanat tributes this rally to those souls whose demise on the dreadful ‘Kaalratri’ brought about the announcement of Independence of ‘Bangladesh’ on 26th March 1971. This rally is an open event and anyone from any wing of art and work can join and sing along ‘Dhana Dhanya Pushpe Vora’ with the members of Prachyanat, while following the symbolic figure of ‘the mother’. 

‘Laal Jatra’ has been performed regularly at the Dhaka University premises on 25th March afternoon since 2011.
