bangladesh begins celebrations to mark golden jubilee of independence
On 26 March 2021, the People's Republic of Bangladesh will celebrate the Golden Jubilee of its independence Along with West Pakistan, the military-industrial alliance will define a reign of tyranny and oppression, which was perhaps one of the most fierce and bloody conflicts in the Asian subcontinent Interestingly, this year marks the birth centenary of the "Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman," who single-handedly and resolutely stood against tyranny and atrocities and dreamt of building an independent Bangladesh, keeping the core principles of democratic freedom alive in the hearts of Bengalis.
The East Wing suffered premeditated and premeditated repression and subjugation soon after the partition of the Indian subcontinent on the basis of the flawed two-nation theory The first blow was struck by the then President of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on his first visit to Pakistan, when he declared that "Urdu and only Urdu shall be the state language of Pakistan.

" The announcement completely undermined the feelings and aspirations of more than half the people of Pakistan Students of Dhaka University and ordinary citizens staged a protest movement on a highway demanding expression of love and appreciation of their mother tongue, Bengali The agitators had to pay the price for their movement on 21 February 1952 when the oppressive law enforcement agencies opened fire on peaceful protesters in cold blood.

Since then, the struggle for the Bengali language, who ensured that the Bengali identity was not lost from the face of East Pakistan, was undertaken by the United Nations 21 February was recognised as International Mother Language Day.
West Pakistan enjoyed the lion's share of capital, revenue and wealth (especially the foreign exchange earned from the jute industry) East Pakistanis were adversely affected by the gross partiality, bigotry and intolerant treatment of the West West Pakistanis were predominantly Punjabis They had reduced the entire country to an iron grip with military might, and the people of East Pakistan felt helpless and defeated by the repeated breakdown of democratic forces and the rise of military might (single unit).

In November 1970, the worst disaster in memory, Cyclone Bhola, hit the coast of East Pakistan and left about 500,000 people in a landslide The West Pakistan administration completely failed in its duty of relief and rescue after such a national disaster Their ignorance and lack of expertise deepened the divide between East and West.

In 1970, in perhaps the only fair general election in Pakistan's history, the Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won an overwhelming absolute majority of 160 seats out of 300 They were poised to form the next government of Pakistan But a deep-rooted conspiracy prevented the flow of democracy and thus changed the course of history forever in the Indian subcontinent.

During the brutal military atrocities of Operation Searchlight on 26 March 1971, hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered across East Pakistan They were reduced to rubble It is estimated that about 10 million refugees fled across the border to neighbouring India to escape the autocratic rule.

The combined West Pakistani military forces, under the auspices of the Mukti Bahini (Bengali Liberation Army) and the Indian Armed Forces, were forced to surrender Nearly 90,000 military and other officers of the opposition surrendered, perhaps the largest number of surrenders since World War II.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested on the night of Operation Searchlight and rumours of his torture and murder by West Pakistanis were rife He was firm and courageous despite knowing that death was imminent He was accompanied by the Iron Lady of India, Smt Indira Gandhi He promised that he would do everything possible and necessary to ensure that the people of Bangladesh fought so hard for freedom.

He would not give up on freeing Mujibur so that he could return to the people of his country as an ideal leader This year marks 50 years of the Liberation War of Bangladesh This historic period bears the signature of thousands of lives and sacrifices That history also bears witness to the vitality, conviction, democracy and pluralism of the two neighbours.

The historic Land Boundary Agreement signed between India and Bangladesh in 2015 under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed and Prime Minister Narendra Modi further strengthened bilateral cooperation and exchanged enclaves This is perhaps the only example where both countries have peaceful and amicable borders.
As the world reels under the devastating impact of the pandemic COVID 19, India is playing a leading role in providing the vaccine to the world India and Bangladesh's friendship takes a new dimension when India supplies the highest number of COVID 19 vaccines to Bangladesh among the countries of Southeast Asia.

Also, new international cross-border connectivity projects (Maitri Setu) are rapidly developing to further develop not only trade but people-to-people contacts which is the core of this relationship built on harmony and understanding This relationship, built on trust and cooperation, will be celebrated on 26 March 2021, when Bangladesh celebrates the Golden Jubilee of its independence.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be accompanied by Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India The two countries stood against Pakistan exactly half a century ago in 1971 The significance of this bond is all-time high and it will grow with the two mature democracies of Southeast Asia complementing each other on the path to greater possibilities and success.
