"The struggle for justice is not a sprint but a marathon. Each generation must carry the torch forward, never letting the flame of liberation die."
Osman Hadi was a visionary cultural activist and founder of the Inqilab Cultural Centre—a space that nurtured revolutionary thought, artistic expression, and political consciousness in Bangladesh.
His work transcended the boundaries between culture and politics, recognizing that true liberation requires transformation of both material conditions and collective consciousness.
Hadi believed that Bangladesh's future depended on developing independent foreign policy thinking, economic self-reliance, and a revival of the spirit that drove the Liberation War of 1971.
The Inqilab Delta Forum continues his mission, applying his principles to contemporary challenges in political economy, strategic affairs, and governance. His sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Inqilab Delta Forum is the intellectual arm of the Inqilab movement — a political economy think tank dedicated to preserving Shaheed Osman Hadi's legacy and advancing Bangladesh's strategic interests through rigorous analysis.
We are modeled on world-class think tanks like the Atlantic Council, but with a critical difference: we represent the Global South perspective, not Western hegemony. Counter-hegemonic, sovereignty-focused, Bangladesh-first.
Our work spans political economy, foreign policy, governance, and security — always with an eye toward a Noya Bangladesh: a sovereign nation where justice prevails, the economy serves the people, and Bangladesh leads in the region.
We are more than an organization—we are a promise. Whether you're a researcher, activist, student, or concerned citizen, we welcome all who refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice.
Ever vigilant, ever defiant — Inqilab Delta.
