[edit] Charompatro

Mukul, a young Bangali started a program from the hidden Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendro, The Radio Station for Independent Bangla in 1971 while a war between Bangladeshi civilians and Pakistani armed forces was running.

Charampatra, meaning `the ultimate mail' was a program. Here, Mukul used to describe the positions of the war with a witty funny voice. He used to describe the uncomfortable position of Pakistani militants.

It was the most popular program of that station. The most effective plus point of that program was, people of Bangladesh started to know that even Pakistani military was defeatable. It is said that hundreds of Civilians became soldiers just being inspired by this program.

Later, Chorompotro was printed and published as a collection.
