Bangladesh came up in fifty. Today, March 26 is the Independence Day. The day marks as 50th anniversary of the independence. The Golden Jubilee of freedom. Bangladesh is advancing with all indicators of development following the dream of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who dreams to build a golden Bengal.

On this day in 1971, the undisputed leader of Bengal, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, declared independence and called for the liberation of the country from occupier Pakistan.

When the Pakistani army was involved in a brutal massacre in the capital on the night of March 25, Bangabandhu sent a message declaring the independence of Bangladesh on the eve of his arrest at his home at No. 32, Dhanmondi. In the message, he said, 'From today, Bangladesh is an independent and sovereign state. It must be protected from the enemy by any means. '

Then came the nine months of bloody war. Bangladesh won through the self-sacrifice of 3 million martyrs, the sacrifice of two lakh mothers and sisters and the self-sacrifice and struggle of millions of Bengalis. After the victory, after returning from Pakistani prisons on January 10, 1972, Bangabandhu called for the reconstruction of the country. In each of his speeches, Bangabandhu spoke of the importance of uniting all to build a golden Bengal.

Bangabandhu started work to build a golden Bengal; But the enemies of the country killed him and turned the country into hell. Coming out of the long military rule and anti-liberation war, the country's development projects under the supervision of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina are making Bangladesh stand one after another in the world court, with its head held high.

The celebration of Bangabandhu's birth centenary 'Mujib Barsha' and 'Golden Jubilee of Independence' has created a festive atmosphere in the national life of Bengalis. Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birthday from March 17 to the great Independence Day March 26 is being celebrated in the state for ten days.
