The Melody of Unity in the Sylhet Referendum
[edit | edit source]During the Sylhet referendum, a poignant song echoed the sentiments of those advocating for the unity of Sylhet. Sung in the local language (Sylheti), the song rhetorically questioned whether one would choose to live under a tree after destroying their hut, symbolizing the potential division of Sylhet. The heartfelt plea urged against breaking Sylhet into pieces. Unfortunately, despite these appeals, the Sylhet region was divided between India and Pakistan in 1947. The song captures the emotional plea to preserve the unity of Sylhet during a significant historical moment.[1]
