Sokhina Begum
Sokhina Begum is a notable figure in the history of Bangladesh's Liberation War, known for her courageous actions against the Pakistani army and local collaborators known as Razakars. During the war, she served as a cook at a camp for freedom fighters, where she gathered intelligence on enemy movements. Her personal tragedy, the death of her nephew Matiur Rahman at the hands of Razakars, fueled her desire for revenge. Sokhina famously used a sharp machete to kill five Razakars, and her weapon is now preserved in the Liberation War Museum in Dhaka. Despite her advanced age and current health challenges that leave her bedridden, her legacy as a brave freedom fighter is celebrated, and she continues to receive government support for her contributions to the war effort.
