Bangladesh got independence on 26th March 1971. We were ruled by the British Empire until 1947. After 1947, Bengal was partitioned from India and East and West Pakistan born. In particular, East Pakistan was dominated by West Pakistan. From then, Dhaka was the capital. The Govt. of Pakistan tries to dominate us, forgetting the culture or tradition. They wanted to impose Urdu as the official language of the whole of Pakistan. But the people of the East raised their voice of this injustice because- most of the people of East talk in Bangla. On 21st February of 1952, the students of East Pakistan start a movement for the sake of their mother tongue. But with the order of the Pakistan Govt. the police open fired in possession of the students and several students were died on the spot. Now, we observe the day with honor who sacrificed their lives for the mother tongue. Later on 17th November 1999, UNESCO declared the day as the International Mother Language Day.
But the domination of West Pakistan was increasing day by day. East Pakistan does not get equal facilities in every sector. So, East Pakistan wanted to free up their country. Then as the strongest political party- Awami League raises its voice to get equal rights. With a lot of incidents, on 7th March 1971, the president of the Awami League and the father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman call the people to free up the country. Then a nine-month war (Bengali: Muktijuddho) happened in East Pakistan. Almost 30 lakh people died and 1 lakh girls and women were tortured by the Military of West Pakistan.
At last, on 26th March of 1971, Bangladesh (Earlier East Pakistan) was declared as an independent country and the previous night (25th March), Pakistan officially launched an operation with the innocent civilians of Bangladesh. It was very pathetic in the history of Bangladesh. At last, Bangladesh got independence and we celebrate 16th December as the Victory Day of Bangladesh.
