Victory day of Bangladesh History

 Since the birth of Pakistan, the West Pakistani rulers could never think of the Bangalees as their own people. Instead of freedom and independence, the Bangalees got all the discrimination; a new foreign ruler in place of the British. The relation between the two wings was that of an exploiter and the exploited class. We became exploited.

The huge disparity and discrimination between the inhabitants of the two wings of Pakistan were visible in every stratum of life like politics, administration, military, economy education, culture etc. This was deliberate attempt to keep the Bangalees dominated. But the Bangalees demonstrated their discontent about that through various ways. Finally, they created a new country Bangladesh through the war of liberation.

The Bangalees are fighters. They protested against injustice during the Mughal and British period. Silence toward the discriminations of the Pakistani rulers was never in their mind. Language movement was the initiation of anti-Pakistan agitation. Although for a brief period, the Bangalees had their first taste of power when they formed government defeating Muslim League in 1954. The student agitations against the Sharif commission began the movement against the martial law government of Ayub Khan.

Literary conferences and cultural movements in the ’60s were the staging ground for anti-Ayub agitations. A cultural renaissance occurred all over the country including Dhaka and Chittagong during the celebration of Biswa Kabi Rabindranath Thakur’s birth centenary in 1961. The cultural movements were further stimulated with the birth of “Chhayanata” in the same year. This cultural outfit regularly organized various cultural events and celebration of different festivals.

This trend toward cultural autonomy continued throughout the ’60s. In 1966 the six points’ proposal was a plan to get rid of all discriminations and attempt to run their own country. When the government rejected the rightful demand of Bangidee, they started 6 points and 11 points movements.

The mass uprising forced the Govt. to withdraw of historic Agartala case (State versus Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and others) and the resignation of President Ayub Khan resigned his precedency. The Awami League, under the leadership of Bangabandhu, won an absolute majority in the general election of 1970.

This victory was indeed a huge step toward the goal of our independence. But the Pakistani rulers started hatching conspiracies to delay the transfer of power to the Bangalees and Bangabandhu in captivity of Pakistan playing different games.

On 25 March, at occupation force midnight at march 25, 1971 midnight, the Pakistani military occupation force midnight at march 25, 1971 forces launched a sudden attack on the unarmed Bangalees and started genocide. They attacked Rajarbeg police line. News of atack was telecast from police line fax. Bangabandhu was arrested on the same night.

Bangabandhu could declare the independence of Bangladesh before his arrest on that night. The liberation war started.

 Finally, with the victory on 16 December, 1971 Bangalees gave their answer to 24 years of exploitation and discrimination against them by Pakistani rulers. As a result, Bangladesh emerged as an independent and sovereign country in the world in exchange for the blood of 30 lack martyrs. 16^th December is the victory day of Bangladesh. From then, Bangladeshi people celebrate 16 December as the national victory day of Bangladesh
