EKATTURER JATREE, Voyagers of 71, is a non-profit cultural organization based in Dhaka, to promote secular-progressive outlook of the Bengali people ,  having  particular emphasis on nourishing   the ideals and history   of the nation’s  Liberation War against Pakistan . The  organization was  formed in 2007 by a group of dedicated young people  under patronage of a few veterans of the  1971 War of Liberation. Its fundamental objectives are  to spread the message of truth,  oppose  the  politically motivated  campaign by the communal   forces aiming to distort the  nation’s independence history and   to  undermine the blood strained ideals for which the Bengali-speaking people  stood united   and fought a national war in  1971, not only for a  political map but also for  democratic culture  and human values.

Ever since its inception, EKATTURER JATREE  organized series of programmes highlighting the glorious national  events that shaped the lives of   the people  of former East Pakistan, now Bangladesh,    turning it a premier national  organization with commitments and secular  standings.  Its activities included publications of books, magazines and organize series of lectures,seminars  and cultural, musical and poetic events on the nation’s milestone achievements  from heroic 1952 language movements to 1971 Liberation War, have already turned it an organization  with  a difference.

The messages we promote, are  : free the humanity from enchainment’s,   love the history that make the people  free,  and  oppose  bigots  and extremists who try to enchain the freedom of  thought,  freedom of religion, and freedom of co-existence .

Its heartwarming   to note  that members of the younger  generations are increasingly rallying round the EKATTURER JATREE   even though the voluntary initiative, run  purely  by monthly subscriptions and donations  by its members and well wishers,  suffers snags   to implement programmes.  However, we  are confident that we will march ahead, no matter what difficulties we encounter, to fulfill a desire  which is close to our hearts.
