Of those murdered in such a crude demonstration of brutality, there were 57 army officers then serving at BDR. Not even during the War of Liberation did so many officers die while waging an armed struggle for national freedom. This morning, a decade after the mutiny which took the lives of the 74 people on this day, we remember. Those images of the jawans looting the armoury and searching for officers to kill in their quarters remain chilling reminders of the gruesome tragedy that was perpetrated on the day. Our present has always been an avalanche of profound sorrow, of unmitigated heartbreak, of an endless search for answers.
