Especially in Rajarbagh, the residential area of Dhaka University, the Pakistani army carried out a brutal massacre. On the night of March 25, under the orders of Major General Tikka Khan, the Pakistani invasion forces attacked the sleepless civilians of the capital. In response to this, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the Bengali nation, on March 7, 1971, called for the freedom of the Bengali masses at the Race Course Maidan in Dhaka. The West Pakistani government chose the path of repression instead of handing over the power of the state to the elected government. In the 1970 elections, the East Bengal political party, Awami League, won with a large number of votes, although the Bengalis saw the fulfillment of their dreams, but it remained unrealized due to Pakistani exploitation. The foundation of the freedom struggle was strengthened through the education movement of 1962 and the six-point movement of 1966 and the mass upheaval of 1969. It was through this language movement in 1952 that Bengali freedom struggle started. In 1952, when Urdu was wanted as the state language, the secret desire of independence in the minds of Bengalis took the form of intensity. Consequently, among the Bengalis of East Pakistan for good reason West Pakistan wanted to be liberated from exploitation. In general, the ruling group of West Pakistan did not give freedom to the common people of East Pakistan in any economic, political and cultural field. All the activities of the state, offices and courts were controlled by West Pakistan. Despite being a country of majority people, from the beginning, the ruling group of West Pakistan was in possession of all the power of the entire state of Pakistan. One part is West Pakistan and the other part is our Bangladesh at that time which was called East Pakistan. The Muslim dominated state of Pakistan was originally divided into two separate territories. After gaining independence from the British Empire, the two independent states of Pakistan and India were born on August 14 and 15, 1947, based on the majority of these two religions, Hindus and Muslims. Therefore, this day of victory is the most memorable, joyful and glorious day in our national life.Īfter two hundred years of exploitation, the British were forced to leave the subcontinent in 1947 in the face of intense protests. The sacrifice of 30 lakh martyrs, the honor of countless mothers and sisters, and through heroic struggle, Bangladesh was born as an independent sovereign state on this day of 71. On this day in 1971, the Bengalis defeated the Pakistani invaders and forced them to surrender.
