		Rehman Sobhan and I were then working for -- in fact running -- the active South Asian students' society called the Majlis: I think Rehman was the president, and I was the general secretary.

		Rehman Sobhan said in a public lecture in April 2002 that "The post-liberation debate over who declared independence of Bangladesh is thus a largely irrelevant debate.
		Rehman Sobhan says that Sheikh Mujib declared independence “in response to the military assault on the Bengalis ordered by Yahya Khan.” This assault began on the night of 25-26 March and “in response to that” Sheikh Mujib is supposed to have declared independence of Bangladesh.
		So, it seems, according to Rehman Sobhan, that the declaration of independence happened on the spur of the moment in response to the assault on the people and it was not in accordance with any decision of the Awami League or in accordance with any plan worked out by them.

	Pakistan Link - Letter & Opinion
		Renowned Bangladeshi economist Professor Rehman Sobhan says the IMF/World Bank reform models have led to structural deformities in many countries, and have wiped out domestic industrial base because the prescription is inherently flawed.
		Prof Sobhan, who is the son-in-law of the late Begum Shaista Ikramullah, says that many developing countries are in a bigger crisis because they could not cope with the World Bank-designed model of import liberalization, and, as a result, their own industrial base has virtually disappeared.
		Asked how he viewed Pakistan in this context, Prof Sobhan could not ignore the “very concentrated industrial base which has remained very central to textiles.” He also noted that many of the traditional industries that were built in the ‘60s and the ‘70s had now lost their competitiveness due to exposure to imports.
