Meanwhile Nahir was studying in Kushtia (the nearest district town) the ongoing countrywide movement for Independence and the elections emerged. But what really was in his mind was the theatre and Farida Begum, a friend of his cousin who belonged to a political family. Farida, moved by the victory in the ’70’s elections pushed Nahir to feel the same way as her. For that reason, Nahir could not keep himself away from the call for independence from the unwillingness of the Pakistanis to hand over power to the winning parties. Nahir will be attacked by the Pakistani occupational forces on the 25th of march. So, he decided to take training lessons as the first batch of Freedom Fighters and, due to that reason he was in charge to kill the infamous War Criminal Aslam in Pragpur. But, at the moment he saw Aslam’s innocent Little child, he was not able to throw the greade. In consequence, he was injured and his team leader killed. Without no motivation to continue the war, Nahir will find out that Farida was raped and tortured by Aslam, which made Nahir capture Aslam’s bodyguards and kill Aslam. That was the rise of the Freedom Fighter Nahir.
