A freedom fighter is honoured in all lands and in all times, because he fights for a noble cause which is the freedom of the motherland. Freedom is the birthright of man, but sometimes this right is denied to a nation by foreign rulers. As à result, armed conflict takes place between the freedom-loving people and the occupation forces. Sometimes the war continues for years and if the people are united and determined, then the freedom fighters win and the country achieves independence. The Bengali members of the armed forces, the students and the people from all walks of life took part in the freedom-fight against the Pakistan occupation forces in 1971. They fought for long nine months and defeated the well-trained Pakistani forces. Bangladesh became a free country. The people who fought against the Pakistani army and the people who took part in the war are called the freedom fighters. Many of the freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the cause of the motherland. We owe our freedom to these noble freedom fighters. The freedom fighters are the golden sons of Bangladesh and her pride. The people will cherish the memory of the valiant sons till the end of Bangladesh or the world.
