A three-day photo exhibition titled "1971 Genocide and Torture" has been put up in Agartala by a voluntary organisation of historians, Bangladesh Itihas Samiti (BIS), in collaboration with the state government.
"It's a tribute to the people of Tripura and India. At the same time, we are honouring the three million martyrs and the people of Tripura. I mean it is a homage to the Liberation War of Bangladesh," said Professor of History at Dhaka University, Muntasir Mamun on Monday.
Visitors were also thrilled to have glimpses of the war at the exhibition.
"In this exhibition, this is the first time when we got to know what exactly happened because these kinds of shots are very difficult to find and when I was visiting this exhibition, I took my level best to capture every moment as possible, every photo as possible. So it is a great thing that has been done in collaboration with Bangladesh," said a visitor, Amrita Chakraborty.
The visiting Bangladesh team has also sought Tripura government's help for a space to display the photographs permanently.
