1971 - The Epic of our Country

"Ghumiye porechhilam, hotath bhishon shobde ghum bhenge gelo. Chomke uthe boshlam. Rumi, Jami chhute elo e ghore. Ki bepar? 2-3 rokomre shobdo - bhari bomar boomboom awaz, machine-gun er tha-tha awaz, chiii kore arekta shobdo. Aakashe ki jeno jole jole uthchhe, tar aloy ghorer bhitor porjonto alokito hoye uthchhe. Shobai chhutlam chhade....."


-Quoted from Ekattorer Dinguli by Jahanara Emam


Dear friends,




Though we all know that we gained our independence through 9 months of deadly war, most of us don't have any clear conception about what happened in 1971; as we haven't experienced it ourselves. But I'm sure that you've heard some incidents from your parents, grandparents, teachers or any other person. And I hope that all of you have read some books too regarding our Liberation War. I'd like to request all of you to share the stories you know about 1971 with everyone in the forum. By this, we'll know more about 1971 and I think it'll help us to do something for our country as well.

So, spend some of your precious time with us and let us know what you know about 1971. If you want me to, then I'll post the history of 1971 in a brief in few instalments.

Hiya My Jaan,
Thank you soo much for posting this beautiful topic. First of all "Shubho Shadhinota Dibosh"! 😳 😳

I know much about 1991 libaration war as it's must for us to know from our text book as well as from History! I think know as much as you know (Ektu kom janle pitish na abar) 😆 😆


But I think every child of Bangladesh should know the correct history of Bangladesh not the fake one from different GOVT. 😃

Thankx agen
Raisa 😳

Thanks to Raisu, Tropa and ainun.......but honestly, I expected some more people interested....whatever, I can't force people to anything.


Anyway, I think I'll start to post the brief history as soon as I can......right now...too much work load...😆



Once again I'd appreciate if you people share what you know with us....
