Abstract

“Bangladesh” is not only a popular song by George Harrison, a British singer, but also a showcase of the aura of music through which a relatively small area of land—Bangladesh—was introduced to the rest of the world in 1971. This is a unique example of the power and use of music to change the canvas of war, cruelty, weapons, murders, geo-politics, and a massive refugee problem. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the history of this musical power in the political liberation of Bangladesh, as well as how a generation of teenage bloggers in the country harnessed music to actualize their objective of bringing what they saw as justice to people who, in their judgement, undermined their country's war of liberation.
