March 7 Today is historic March 7
Own representative, Dhaka, March 7, 2024: Today is the historic March 7. A unique day in the history of freedom struggle and liberation war of Bengali nation. On this day in 1971, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman called for the freedom struggle of Bangladesh, standing in a huge crowd at Suhrawardy Udyan (now Race Course Maidan).
On this day, in the presence of millions of freedom-seeking people, this great leader announced in a thunderous voice, "When I have given blood, I will give more blood, I will free the people of this country, God willing. This struggle is our struggle for liberation, this struggle is the struggle for freedom."
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's historic speech on March 7, 1971 later became the seed mantra of the freedom struggle. Similarly, this speech is not only a political document, but also a possibility for cultural identity of the nation. Bengalis started preparing for the liberation war basically on the call of Bangabandhu's speech. Later on the night of March 25, Bangabandhu declared the country's independence in the early hours of March 26 after the brutal massacre by the Pakistan army. The armed liberation war officially began. On October 30, 2017, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's historic March 7 speech was recognized as a World Documentary Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Affairs Organization UNESCO.
In this fiery declaration of Bangabandhu on March 7, 1971, the Bengali nation got the direction of independence. After that, the freedom-loving people of the country started preparing for the final fight from house to house. Bangabandhu's Vajroninada made the Bengali nation excited with the joy of impending liberation. Exploited and deprived for ages, the Bengalis march forward with steely determination towards the desired liberation.
