Bangladesh celebrates the day in commemoration of the declaration of independence from Pakistan in 1971 by the "Father of the Nation" Sheikh Mujibur Rahman before he was arrested by Pakistani forces.
The declaration led to start of a guerrilla struggle against Pakistan to separate the country from Pakistan.
Independence for Bangladesh finally came in December that year after a nine-month guerrilla war against the Pakistan Army.
ReplyDeletegoing by the current noise, I see an eerie similarity between Dr Manmohan Singh and Modi.......Dr Manmohan Singh, whatever his worth, always appeared more at ease and seemed to come into his own when he used to be outside the country......within the country, he was always ill at ease....Modi too has done fantastically well on the foreign policy front, and everybody has acknowledged it.....but he is facing problems in the Parliament and within the country....while Dr Singh had the excuse of being a remote control and, therefore, not in control of things within the country, Modi too appears to be saddled with various problems within the country........One explanation could be that people expected lot from him and the opposition is now making the right noises -- aided by inclement weather -- to make matters worse for him....what say?
