Liberation War of Bangladesh

If you tell the story of Liberation War of Bangladesh, you must mention the bravery and far sightedness of “Tajuddin Ahmed, Syed Nazrul Islam, Captain Kamrujjaman, General Ataul Gani Osmani and many others.
Three million people were massacred by the Pakistani military and local collaborators. Hundreds of thousands of women were raped. Village after village, town after town, were burned to the ground. There were dead bodies lying in every plain and floating in every river. There was hardly any family who did not lose something in this War.
At the very end, facing an imminent defeat, the coward Pakistani military and the local collaborators (mostly, Jamat-e-Islami cadars) systematically killed many of the leading intellectuals of the country. These War criminals have never faced justice for crime against the humanity. We should raise conscience among the people of the world to try these criminals. If we forget, as Ely Weasel depicted, “we are guilty, we are accomplices”.

Liberation War of Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a beautiful and independent country. Bangladesh got independence in 26th March, 1971. Before independence we were people of East Pakistan. The nine month War of liberation waged by the people of Bangladesh in 1971will for ever remain recorded as one of the most glorious history in world. The sovereign and independent people of Republic of Bangladesh, as it stands today, is the outcome of an arduous struggle of the people under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The liberation War did not start overnight. It had been brewing for 23 years. Ever since the birth of Pakistan in August 1947, the Bengalese first felt ignored in the scheme of the country’s governance and gradually found them deprived and exploited by the power elite dominated by the West Pakistani bureaucrats, the military and the big businesses.

Liberation War of Bangladesh

Liberation War is the most precious history of Bangladesh. Our liberation War was against Pakistan in 1971. This was the first time we fought for the recognition as a distinct nation. The endless bloodshed and struggle for centuries came to an end with the maturation rise of “Bangabandhu” Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of the country and the architect of the nation.

The Liberation War and the independence was not an act of single person or event. Rafiq, Saalam, Barkat, Jabbar and many others gave their life during the Language Movement of 1952. Many were imprisoned and killed protesting Ayub khan’s military rules: 6 point of movement of 1966, mass uprising of 1969 etc.Finally “Bangabandhu” asked his people to raise arms against Pakistani military who killed hundred of people during the peaceful protests of the 1971.
