The Independence Day is very significant to every nation. Our independence Day, the 26th March is really a day of pride and glory. The day is very great to us because on this day in 1971, the proclamation of independence was declared.
In 1947. Pakistan emerged as an independent state with its two wings- East Pakistan and West Pakistan. During twenty four years of Pakistani rule, the people of Bangladesh (the then East Pakistan) were oppressed, suppressed and exploited (CNT). Inspite of having majority of population, the people of Bangladesh were deprived of their political, economic and cultural rights. A deep desparity between two wings became wider and grievances and discontent among
the Bangalees continued to grow which resulted in an upsurge and mass revolution in 1969.
But the Pakistani rulers tried to stop the mass revolution with the help of arms. On 25 March, they started mass killing in Bangladesh. Sheikh Muzib, as the president of Awami League won the land slide victory faga frol) in general election held in 1970. But he was denied to hand over power.
On March 7 in 1971, Sheikh Muzib made a clarion call for fighting and resisting Pakistani army as
well as Pakistani rulers. On the night of 26 March, Sheikh Muzib was arrested and was taken to
Pakistan. He was put in jail of Pakistan. Just before his arrest, he declared the independence in

soldiers started.
