The Pakistani army selectively killed pro-liberation Bangladeshi intellectuals right from the March 25, 1971 'Operation Searchlight' throughout the nine months of the War, but only two days before their eventual surrender, the Pakistani army sensed their imminent defeat and carried out the heinous act of finding the top luminaries of this nation and killing them, with the assistance of Razakars, Al Shams and Al Badr. The day, December 14, is now observed as Martyred Intellectuals' Day across the country, to pay tribute to the brightest sons and daughters of the country.
