Liberation War of Bangladesh
Choudhury obtained the commonwealth scholarship to attend the McGill University for his PhD degree. But as the liberation war broke out in Bangladesh in 1971, Choudhury actively protested the massacre of the Pakistani Army on the Bangladeshi people. He was the founder secretary of Bangladesh Association of Quebec, Canada, formed on March 7, 1971. On his active supervision, a shipping of Sabre Jet spare parts for Chittagong, East Pakistan, was cancelled. Dr. Choudhury could not finish his Ph. D. and returned home to Bangladesh.

Famous quotes containing the words liberation and/or war:
“Postmodernism entices us with the siren call of liberation and creativity, but it may be an invitation to intellectual and moral suicide.”

“Soldier, there is a war between the mind
And sky, between thought and day and night. It is
For that the poet is always in the sun,
Patches the moon together in his room
To his Virgilian cadences, up down,
Up down. It is a war that never ends.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
