ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Laureate Rabindranath Tagore: “Oh! My miserable land, those whom thou hast disgraced, It is to their level where thou must place thyself down Whom thou hast declined the rights of man Whom thou denied their rightful place on thy lap, It is to their level where thou must place thyself down.”1 Bangladesh has awoken. Everywhere, more and more people are keen to protect human rights. Who says that Sonar Bangla – our Golden Bangladesh -- is far, far away!
