High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami emphasized that while Bangabandhu is the Father of Nation of Bangladesh, he is also a hero to the Indian people.
It is only natural that Indians also wish to celebrate Mujib Borsho with the same affection and respect as they did when he visited India in January 1972, en-route to Bangladesh upon the country’s liberation.
Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi had paid tribute to Bangabandhu during the commencement of Mujib Borsho commemorations on March 17, 2020.
Calling Bangabandhu a courageous leader, Prime Minister Modi had emphasized that Bangabandhu’s life was an inspiration to all.
These special edition watches were designed and specially manufactured in India for High Commission by TITAN, the watchmaking division of India’s multinational TATA Group.
