March 8th, 2023
March 7 is an important day for the People’s Republic of Bangladesh because it was the day when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered a historic speech in 1971 that left a significant impact on Bangladesh’s history. The resounding speech gave voice to the aspirations of a brand-new independent nation and marked a turning point in the conflict over the separation of East Pakistan from West Pakistan. The speech that was delivered at Dhaka’s Race Course Ground saw over two million people listen to his speech. Millions of Bengalis were mobilised to prepare for an independence war.
