On March 26, 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared Bangladesh’s independence day after the crackdown on unarmed Bengali people on March 25 night by the Pakistan army. After the nine-month Liberation War with supreme sacrifices of more than three million martyrs, Bangladesh achieved independence on December 16, 1971.
According to Google Doodle,
Home to the Sundarbans (the world’s largest mangrove forest), as well as Cox’s Bazar (the world’s longest stretch of beach), the People’s Republic of Bangladesh celebrates its independence today.
The nation formerly known as East Pakistan, became Bangladesh 49 years ago. The country then adopted the Shapla or water lily, depicted in the Doodle artwork, as its national emblem and flower.
In honor of the country’s freedom, the Bangladeshi flag proudly flies atop many of its buildings. Featuring a red disk against a green backdrop, the flag of Bangladesh represents the sun rising across the nation’s abundant flora and natural beauty.
Happy Independence Day, Bangladesh 🙂
