Great expectations Quote by Shaheen Akhter Suraiya Begum Hameeda Hossain Sultana Kamal Meghna Guhathakurta Meghna Guhathakurta
““Very few can overcome their immediate feelings of hurt and victimhood and channelize it in creative ways of self-transformation. Often such a process takes a whole lifetime.

They had great expectations from a nation whose freedom they had helped to secure,with their tears, toil and the blood of their dear and loved ones!””
