We deeply mourne the death of Mr. Imamul Kabir Shanto. To us, he is a hero! He had the sole courage to initiate Department of Dance at Shanto Mariam University of Creative Technology where I had the previledge to be one of the first faculty members and teach Manipuri dance. Salute to the man who took the initiative and pushed the dance heritage of Bangladesh one step forward. We pray for this brave soul!
