Dewan Mohammad Tashawar Raja, great-grandson of lyricist mystic Hasan Raja. He has been working in the Bangladesh Army for a long time and has worked to highlight the glorious family tradition.
However, he suffered a heart attack on March 11, 2013, a month before being promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel. Hypoxic ischemic brain injury from heart disease leads to coma. After treatment at home and abroad, he has been in treatment at the Combined Military Hospital in Dhaka since May 12 of the same year.
Given this situation, the day of his retirement arrived on October 12. However, the day was not just a retirement day, it turned into a different happy day. On that day, Dewan Mohammad Tashawar Raja, who had been in a coma for more than seven and a half years, was promoted to the rank of “colonel”.
Colonel Badge was dressed in his military uniform on the bed in CMH cabin number 314.
His wife, Mosleha Munira Raja, told The Daily Star: “He fell ill for just a month before he was promoted to colonel. For a long time there was a mental anguish about it, because everyone in the military said that a dynamic officer like him would one day be a general.
He added: “But the honor he received on the last day of his Army career is unique. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to everyone. ”
Dewan Mohammad Tashawar Raja was born on October 15, 1966 in an aristocratic Sylhet dynasty. He is the great-grandson of the mystic lyricist Dewan Hasan Raja, the grandson of Khan Bahadur Eklimur Raja Chowdhury and the son of Dewan Talibur Raja Chowdhury.
He married Mosleha Monira Raja in 1997 and they have two sons and a daughter.
After graduating from Sylhet Blue Bird and Sylhet Cadet School, he completed Long Course No. 20 from the Bangladesh Military Academy and joined the Army on June 23, 1989 as a commissioned officer.
During his colorful career, he served as Commander of the 12 Lancers Army Tank Regiment, School of Armor, and Infantry School Instructor. He has also participated in UN peacekeeping missions in Iraq, Kuwait and Sudan and has twice won the Medal of Peace.
In addition to the army, the King of Tashawar concentrated on writing. His written and edited books include Hasan Raja Samagrah and General My General, Bangladesh Armored Corps.
To further illuminate the family’s glorious past, he has founded and sponsored the Hassan Raja Foundation, the Talibur Raja Memorial Library, the Dewan Talibur Raja Academic Trust, and the Rajas Museum.
Note from Tashawar’s friend:
This is a great honor for a great and worthy person like Tashawar and one of the outstanding military leaders of our generation!
He was my soul mate, a loving friend with whom everything could be shared.
“Keep smiling” was the last line of all SMS. Sometimes we talked twice a day, sometimes once every other day. This has never happened before.
A few days before he got sick, I told him, for no reason, to take a break, to take care of his health. In response, he said that he would like to do whatever he wants to write before he is 45. Did I ask why? He said, I’ll do something else later.
I still don’t understand how he understood it beforehand.
I am lucky to be his friend, to feel his personality and charisma. We were commanding officers in the same garrison, which was a great opportunity to help each other.
In addition to bringing together all the required courses, we have run the year-long staff course together; We have carried out two UN peacekeeping missions together.
The two friends rarely had the opportunity to work together at different times in military life, but we often had this advantage.
My friend Tasru is a brilliant man and the quality of his friendship is extraordinary. I have never seen him sad, always cheerful and upbeat! I used to call it “short and sharp”.
In 1998, the two young captains traveled to 14 European countries for just £ 1,500. Which included travel, train tickets, accommodation, food.
We used to travel by night train in his mind to avoid hotel rental. The more we can see without spending cash, the happier we’ll be! I would buy souvenirs the next day with the money I saved at the end of the day.
He used to collect coins and money from different countries and I followed him. Your kids must have saved that collection.
We once met a western tourist on a train while traveling through Europe. He traveled to 41 countries for only ড 10 a day. He inspired us.
However, during our second peacekeeping mission in Sudan, we spent quite a bit of money on trips to African countries, as our goal was to see as much of this diverse beauty in Africa as possible.
There are more than fifty countries on Tasru’s travel list. Besides being a perfect military man, he is also a traveler, a good writer and a great thinker. He was a military man with style.
I don’t know what our similarities are, but I think we like and respect each other a lot, those were our similarities.
We enjoy everything created from scratch. And he has successfully placed his mark on the hearts of our beloved Army and hundreds of friends.
