He was the key leader in the country’s struggle for independence. As the leader of the Awami League, he won the 1970 general elections of Pakistan, but the ruling West Pakistani authorities refused to transfer power.

The story of
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, known as the Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, was the key leader in the country’s struggle for independence. As the leader of the Awami League, he won the 1970 general elections of Pakistan, but the ruling West Pakistani authorities refused to transfer power. This led to mass protests and violent repression, culminating in Sheikh Mujib’s historic speech on March 7, 1971, where he hinted at independence.
On March 25, 1971, the Pakistan Army launched Operation Searchlight, a brutal crackdown on the people of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), which led to the Bangladesh Liberation War. Mujib was arrested and taken to West Pakistan, while the Mukti Bahini (Liberation Forces), with support from India, fought against Pakistani forces. After nine months of intense fighting and genocide, Bangladesh achieved victory on December 16, 1971. Mujib was later released in January 1972 and became the first President of independent Bangladesh.
