The 7th of March is a significant occasion in the history of the Bengali nation. On this day in 1971, the Bengali nation jumped into the liberation movement thanks to the Father of the Nation’s historic address at the Racecourse Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan). The call to “build forts in every dwelling” struck a chord with them.
Bangabandhu The cry of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was a message of independence for Bengalis. As a result of that speech on March 7, Bangladesh is now an independent country. Bangabandhu’s speech continues to enrage the entire nation, even after 50 years of independence.
This speech is always appealing to people who are oppressed. Democracy, self-determination, freedom, humanity, and the people are all mentioned in that speech. That discourse is universal today, transcending national and temporal limits.
Amir Hossain Amu, a member of the Awami League’s advisory council, said his address covered every aspect of the journey to independence, including the path to be taken and how to attain it, as well as how to conduct the war. We achieved this country through the March 7 speech, through inspiration, and through 9 months of the self-armed liberation war.
The unwritten address of the Father of the Nation, delivered on March 7 at the Racecourse Ground, was momentous. Where a nation’s hopes, problems, and future course were crystal obvious in a short period of time. This speech serves as a declaration of Bengalis’ independence.
Pakistani aggressors attempted to obliterate the record of this speech during the liberation war. The invading army and conspirators, however, were unsuccessful.
The historic March 7 speech was a source of inspiration and liberation for an unarmed nation facing trained soldiers and seizing victory. The address of the Father of the Nation on March 7 continues to inspire the new generation.
