                                                         Birth of  Bangladesh

                           Bangladesh is a country which got independence on the 16^th December in 1971. But its struggle for freedom dates back to the time when Indian subcontinent was divided into two states – India and Pakistan. On the 14^th August 1947, Pakistan came into being , comprising two wings- East and West Pakistan. Immediately after the creation of Pakistan , the people of East Bengal should their attitude as unfriendly before the Pakistani dominated rulers. The Pak ruling clique began to treat the East Bengal (later known as East Pakistan) as a colony of West Pakistan. In 1948, Mr. Jinnah, the first governor  general of Pakistan declared at Dhaka that Urdu alone would  be the state Language of  the country. This unfair , nay, impossible contention of Mr. Jinnah surprised for the first time of the people of East Bengal. The students came forward to agitate against the Pakistani attempt of imposing Urdu upon the Bangles. Consequently

the heroic Language Movement started. In the movement , a number of Bangle students laid down their lives for the causes of their Language and culture. The movement gave a tremendous impact to Bangladeshi nationalism which formed the independent Bangladesh.  

The nationalist movement which was so long  confined among the students and the literate section  of our people gradually reached the common toiling masses. This was  evidenced in the Provincial Election in 1954.The United Front won a landslide victory in the election giving a crushing defeat in the ruling Muslim League. Unfortunately for East Pakistan , its provincial government could not last long .Of that time the government of Pakistan wanted to gag the voice of Bangladeshi nationalism.

During the undemocratic and oppressive rule of Ayub khan, Sheikh Mujib- the uncompromising champion of Bangladeshi nationalism –announced his famous six points which terribly shook the sense of all the Bangladeshi people. To crush the Sheikh, Ayub khan with sycophant governor, Monem khan, implicated to fabricate Agartala Conspiracy case.
