"On March 7, the torch of independence was lit"
On March 7, 1971, the people of the land of Padma, Meghna, and Jamuna heard a speech—a speech that ignited a spark of fire. From 1948 to 1971, step by step, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman prepared himself to light this torch, aligning with history and rallying the people to join the great awakening that would lead to Bangladesh’s greatest moment—its War of Independence.
