Abstract

The study conducted with a comprehensive analysis of the psychosocial and political ideologies, as well as social status, of visitors to the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Mausoleum Complex in Tungipara, Gopalganj district in Bangladesh. The findings suggest that many people who visit the mausoleum complex are committed to Mujibism, a political ideology that places great emphasis on the ideas and ideals of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. This exemplifies Mujib’s long-lasting impact on the people of Bangladesh and the popularity of his political philosophy. The research also showed that people from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds visit the mausoleum complex, but a large percentage are from the middle and lower classes. Mujib’s ideal of social justice resonated with Bangladesh’s working class, as this fact demonstrates. Many of them who visited Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s mausoleum complex expressed their deep regard and adoration for him, as was found in the study. This shows that Mujib remains an icon in Bangladesh, where he continues to inspire and drive the public. The ideas of social justice and democracy that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman championed are reflected in this research. Mujib, a charismatic leader who devoted his life to fostering the well-being of his countrymen, never gave in to sinister forces, despite having to fight till his last breath. When it comes to human development and organization capacity, Mujib is one of the political philosophers whose ideas still hold up.
