Bir Sreshtho Hamidur Rahman: The Tale of an Immortal Hero

Among the seven brave sons of Bangladesh who were awarded the highest gallantry award "Bir Sreshtho", Hamidur Rahman holds a special place. He was not just a soldier—he was a selfless warrior who gave his life to free his motherland.

Early Life and Childhood

Hamidur Rahman was born on February 2, 1953, in Khagarchhari village, located near the Khowai River in present-day Moulvibazar District, Bangladesh. His father's name was Abdul Odud and his mother was Jaheda Khatun. From an early age, he was known for his intelligence and courageous nature.

Joining the Military

Before the Liberation War began in 1971, Hamidur Rahman joined the East Pakistan Rifles (now Border Guard Bangladesh). As the demand for independence started to rise, he stood firmly with the movement and became an active freedom fighter.

Acts of Bravery

On October 28, 1971, in Dhowatola, a border area under Mohammadpur Upazila, Hamidur Rahman fought in a direct battle against Pakistani forces. His mission was to destroy a heavily fortified enemy position. Knowing the risks, he bravely crawled towards the enemy bunker and threw grenades, successfully damaging the stronghold. His heroic action turned the tide of the battle, but he was martyred in the process.

Posthumous Honor

For his extraordinary courage and sacrifice, the Government of Bangladesh awarded him the title "Bir Sreshtho", the nation’s highest military honor. In 2007, his remains were brought back from India and reburied with full state honors at the Mirpur Martyred Intellectuals’ Graveyard in Dhaka.

Forever Remembered

In his memory, many institutions, roads, and landmarks have been named after Hamidur Rahman. His legacy is etched into the heart of the nation as a symbol of selflessness, patriotism, and bravery. He taught us what it means to give one’s life for the freedom of a country.
