| Salahuddin |
November 11, 1971. East Pakistan Rifles (EPR) camp in Thakurgaon. After terrible torture, Pakistani soldiers threw a young man into the tiger cage of the camp. Two tigers roared at him. They pulled him apart and ate him. The young man's name was Salahuddin. He was a brave freedom fighter.
During the Liberation War, Thakurgaon was a subdivision of Dinajpur district. Kosharaniganj of Pirganj police station of this subdivision was the village of Shaheed Salahuddin.
Shaheed Salahuddin's family, local freedom fighters and the authentic book Salahuddin (The Sacrifice of the Freedom Fighter in the Tiger's Cage) reveal that in early April 1971, the Pakistan army carried out a brutal massacre in various areas of Dinajpur. They committed mass arson, looting and torture of women while carrying out a massacre in Pirganj on April 18. Many fled the village fearing the massacre. Many others joined the Liberation War. Salahuddin, an 11th grade student of Dinajpur Surendranath College at that time, also crossed the border and went to India. After completing his training, he joined the Liberation War. After completing the operation, he kept running from one area to another with weapons in hand.

On November 10, 1971, Salahuddin was staying at Jabarhat Camp in Pirganj with his fellow soldiers. At that time, bad news came.
Salahuddin's father had been taken to the EPR camp by Pakistani soldiers. Salahuddin collapsed. He informed a fellow soldier late at night and headed home. Salahuddin reached home after traveling 11 to 12 miles. As soon as he called out, "Mother, mother..." the door of the house opened. The family members were shocked to see Salahuddin.
Meanwhile, when Salahuddin was entering the village, the Razakars saw him. The news reached the Pakistani army headquarters. Around 10 am, the Pakistani soldiers surrounded Salahuddin's house. Upon realizing this, Salahuddin tried to escape but could not. Salahuddin's mother begged the Pakistani soldiers for her son's life, even at the cost of her own life, but failed. However, she brought the Quran from the house and handed it to the captain and said, "Don't kill my father, just say this." The captain touched the Quran and said, "Don't kill me."

Then the Pakistani soldiers took Salahuddin prisoner and took him to the EPR camp in Thakurgaon (present BGB Thakurgaon headquarters). That is where the Pakistani army headquarters is. The Pakistani soldiers tried to get information about the whereabouts of the freedom fighters from him by bringing him there. But Salahuddin refused them. Then the soldiers began to torture him terribly. At first, after intimidation, the level of torture gradually increased. He was dragged cruelly with a spear through his eyeball. Still, Salahuddin was adamant. At one stage of the torture, his fingers were cut off. He was hung with nails through his hands and feet. Even then, Salahuddin could not be moved in the slightest.
Finally, the Pakistani soldiers made a barbaric decision to surround Salahuddin. They made a campaign on the microphone throughout the city and invited people. On Friday, November 12, at around 11 am, the Pakistani soldiers tied his hands and released him into the tiger cage in the camp. A tiger suddenly placed its paw on Salahuddin's chest and face. As soon as Salahuddin shouted, "Mother, mother...", the two tigers in the cage began to tear his body apart. And the Razakars and Pakistani soldiers present began to rejoice at this scene.

Salahuddin's cousin Md. Ohiduzzaman said, he does not know whether there is such a barbarity in the history of the world to kill a freedom fighter like this. This incident is a cruel incident in the history of the Liberation War of Bangladesh. Although Salahuddin sacrificed his life in the tiger's cage for the country's independence, there is not much discussion about that incident today. He demanded that the incident of Salahuddin's sacrifice in the tiger's cage be included in the textbooks and that November 12 be declared as Shaheed Salahuddin Day.
Ibrahim Khan, a former freedom fighter commander of Pirganj Upazila, said, "There was a lot to do about the heroism of Shaheed Salahuddin. But we could not do much. It hurts us."
In the current books and papers of the Liberation War, only the names of fathers and husbands and stories of heroism are found, there is no place for these children of the sun who gave their blood to us.
