Victory Day Of Bangladesh History
The armed fight back of East Pakistan against West Pakistan took place in 1971, through which Bangladesh has emerged as an independent country on the map of the world. On 25th March 1971, when the Pakistani military attacked the people of East Pakistan in the darkness of the night, then the war of liberation started in the form of an independence war. The Pakistani military on that dark night of 25th March brutally killed a lot of ordinary citizens, students, teachers, intellectuals, police and E.P.R. in Dhaka and arrested the Awami League chief and highly popular leader of Bengali people, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who was leading the majority party of East Pakistan in the general election of 1970.
In the face of preplanned genocide, the confrontation war started in the whole country. The East Pakistan Regiment, East Pakistan Rifles (EPR), and East Pakistan Police of Pakistan Army, Bengali members of the military, and above all, the independence seeking general public of East Pakistan established the freedom fighting forces within a few months to free the country from the control of the Pakistani military.
Through fighting in the guerrilla system, the freedom fighters used to disrupt the Pakistani army across the country. India was directly involved in the liberation war of Bangladesh in early December. In the face of the combined attack of the freedom fighters and Indian military forces, the Pakistani military forces, which are already in the troubles and weak, have decided to surrender. On 16th December, Pakistani military officials formally surrendered with 93,000 troop members on Race Course ground in Dhaka. By this, the bloody liberation war of nine months ended; and established the independent country ‘Bangladesh’ of Bengali people.
