Libaration War of Bangladesh


A little description of our Liberation War

 The Bangladesh Liberation War started in 26th March, 1971 which is called "Muktijuddho" by Bangladeshis. The war was a duration of 9 months long which has been ended on 16th December, 1971. The war started between the state of Pakistan (previously West Pakistan) and East Pakistan in which India intervened on 3 December of 1971. In between this time 30 million citizen of East Pakistan was killed. 

They demolished most of the main part of the country. The West Pakistan started this genocide which called by them Operation Searchlight. They started killing civilians, students, intelligentsia everyone those who are in front of them. The war started because the people of Bangladesh were demanding for the military regime to honor the results of the first ever 1970 democratic elections in Pakistan won by an East Pakistan party. On Dec. 16 1971, the army was defeated and East Pakistan declared independence from the totalitarian regime of West Pakistan. The new nation was baptized as Bangladesh, meaning the “Country of Bengal.”
