50 years ago to the day the Bangladesh liberation movement started. After a few months of struggle. A benefit concert organised by Ravi Shankar & George Harrison was held at Madison Square Garden in Aug of 1971
The event was the first-ever benefit of such a magnitude, and featured a supergroup of performers that included Harrison, fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell and the band Badfinger. In addition, Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan – both of whom had ancestral roots in Bangladesh – performed an opening set of Indian classical music. The concerts were attended by a total of 40,000 people, and the initial gate receipts raised close to $250,000 for Bangladesh relief, which was administered by UNICEF.
Harrison is asked by a reporter: "With all the enormous problems in the world, how did you happen to choose this one to do something about?" "Because I was asked by a friend if I would help, you know – that's all," is his reply.

The track selection is apt for how things played out in the fire of Bangladesh's birth.
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane..
Admittedly, Bangladesh isn't the first thing that comes to mind when i hear this tune but there is a context.
