An appeal for charity international autographs (not-facsimile) exhibition and one museum

Tuesday, 8 July 2008


I have been an autograph-hunter since at the age of twelve years, more than five decades years ago, which is one of my hobbies.

I have already collected more than three thousand autographs (not-facsimile) of eminent personalities of the world including those at home also. I have also received hundreds of letters, written to me, encouraging the hobby, such as Sir Zafrullah Khan, first Pakistani Foreign Minister and latter the Chief Justice of the International Court of Justice, in the Hague, British famous scholar, politician and Nobel laureate Lord Bertrand Russell, American President Mr. John. F. Kennedy, ex-King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia, American Famous black Scholar and Nobel Peace Laureate late Dr. Ralph J. Bunch and ex-President late Mr. F. Marcos of the Philippines and others.

Genuine autographs (not-facsimile) received from first prime Minister late Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru of India, last Vice-Roy late Lord Mounbatten, Hollywood famous film actors late Mr. Walt Diseny and Late Mr. Charlton Huston, some African Fathers of the Nations including late Dr. Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia and late Mr. Julius K. Nyerore of Tanganika, six secretary Generals of the United Nations including first late Mr. Trygve Lie, more than fifty Nobel laureates including two-times winner Dr. L Pauling of America, First Men to conquer the Mount Everest Sherpa Tensing and Sir Edmund Hillary, former nine British prime ministers including late Lord Clement Attlee, eight former American Presidents including late Mr. Herbert Hoover, ex-President Dr. Fidel Castro of Cuba, first President late Marshal Josep Bros Tito of Yugoslavia, Muslim Heads of the states and the Kings including late King Zahir Shah of Afghanistan, late President General Ibrahim Abboud of Sudan first President General Karim Al-Kassem of Iraq and others.

I have spent a huge amount of money for this great hobby. I have established a strong friendship, at home and abroad, through this great hobby, no doubt, with a long hard patience.

I am now 68 (sixty eight) years old. I am very eager to hold International Charity Autographs Exhibition to aid the deaf, dumb, blind and handicapped people at home and abroad, with possible support from government, international organisations, NGOs, banks, companies, and others. I would later on like to establish one autograph museum in Dhaka in Bangladesh, to be unique in its mind.

Furthermore, I intend to write a book, entitled "Autographs Depict Memories" by any international book publisher who would be willing to supply me with the said materials such as life-sketches with photos, at its cost.

I appeal earnestly for their kind cooperation and communication in the matter, for the success of my long-standing childhood dream. Would our caretaker government look into the matter seriously soon for the greater interest of our nation?
