● Reasons Behind the Liberation War :
The people of Bangladesh discovered their identity through the Language Movement in 1952. The contradiction of the two Pakistans, the racial oppression and the exploitation of the West over the East was gradually unveiled. The struggle for the consciousness of identity and cultural freedom which began with the advent of the student movements of the 60's, turned into a civil war, the Liberation War of Bangladesh.

    In the beginning of 1971, West Pakistan attempted to eliminate the Bengali culture in Eastern Pakistan. With the formation of the Bengali nationalists creating their own country, the liberation war occurred in Bangladesh which caused the genocide. In reality the liberation war was a smoke screen to hide the genocide that was being committed on the Bengali people, from the Pakistan government. Over three million people were killed and over fifteen million people were displaced and seeking refuge in the nearby country of India for protection. The United Nations failed to act reasonable during the Bangladesh genocide in 1971 which resulted in long lasting negative impacts on the country such as the…

    A country, that was formerly known as East Pakistan, had to fight in a devastating civil war against their ruling country of Pakistan that left 300,000 civilians dead, to gain their independence. In 1971, the country of Bangladesh was established. After Bangladesh gained their independence, many changes transformed the culture and the ways of living. An example of this change includes a new language that was established, also known as Bangla. Due to the independence struggle of not wanting Urdu to be declared the official language of Pakistan, Bengali nationalism led to the victory of the country during their nine month civil war.…

    The riverine country of Bangladesh (“Land of the Bengals”) is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and its people are predominantly Muslim. As the eastern portion of the historical region of Bengal, the area once formed, along with what is now the Indian state of West Bengal, the province of Bengal in British India. With the partition of India in 1947, it became the Pakistani province of East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan), one of five provinces of Pakistan, separated from the other four by 1,100 miles (1,800 km) of Indian territory. In 1971 it became the independent country of Bangladesh, with its capital at Dhaka.…

    At first resistance was spontaneous and disorganized, and was not expected to be prolonged.[45] But when the Pakistani Army cracked down upon the population, resistance grew. The Mukti Bahini became increasingly active. The Pakistani military sought to quell them, but increasing numbers of Bengali soldiers defected to the underground "Bangladesh army". These Bengali units slowly merged into the Mukti Bahini and bolstered their weaponry with supplies from India. Pakistan responded by airlifting in two infantry divisions and reorganizing their forces. They also raised paramilitary forces of Razakars, Al-Badrs and Al-Shams (who were mostly members of Muslim League, the then government party and other Islamist groups), as well as other Bengalis who opposed independence, and Bihari Muslims who had settled during the time of partition.…

    The independence of Bangladesh was declared and the Liberation War began on 26 March 1971 which is celebrated as the Independence Day every year. The people of then-East Pakistan took part in this war to liberate Bangladesh from Pakistan. Independence for Bangladesh was gained through a nine-month civil war against the Pakistani Army, which resulted in the loss of about 3 million lives, the exodus of 10 million refugees and the displacement of 30 million people. The Mukti Bahini (Bengali "freedom fighters") defeated the Pakistani Army on 16 December in the same year, which is celebrated as Victory Day. Thus Bangladesh plunged into a gory war seeking its own birth. Independence Day is commonly associated with parades, fairs, concerts, ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, and traditions of Bangladesh including the paying of respects at Jatiyo Smriti Soudho, the national memorial at Savar near Dhaka. Generally, a thirty-one gun salute is conducted in the morning. All schools of Fundacion Intervida celebrated Independence Day with great enthusiasm. To celebrate the day, discussion meeting and cultural program was organized and conducted. Discussion meeting focusing the background history of liberation, about the nature and effect of war and the importance of independence was discussed in a way so that children can understand. At the end of the meeting, a cultural program was held in each school. Cultural program was organized with recitation, dance, short play and music. The most important thing is that the program was organized, conducted and facilitated by the children. It is an example of children participation and empowerment for which Intervida has been working. Attendance on celebration day is remarkable. It is more than 95%.…
