My father's role in my family history

Storyboard Text

  • In 1971, my father's family faced a lot of scrutiny from their bangla-speaking neighbors who wanted them to leave East Pakistan
  • Many of my father's family members like his uncle were killed or imprisoned when they refused to leave their hard-earned jobs.
  • My father was also imprisoned by Bangladeshi soldiers for a few days only because he was urdu-speaking. It was a very traumatic experience for him.
  • My grandfather sent my father to West Pakistan where he raised a family. However, in the 2010s, Pakistan became very politically unstable. Crime and inflation increased, making it an unsuitable place to live in.
  • So, my father moved to America where he worked for long hours on minimum wage jobs along with my brother. Once he secured enough earnings, my father called the rest of the family to America.
  • After many years of struggle and hard work, my father was able to educate all of his children and secure a house for us to live in. We no longer have to struggle as we once used to.
