Happy Birthday, Bangladesh!

After 200 years under the British and 23 years under Pakistani governance, Bangladesh turned over a new leaf 45 years ago today. The price was paid by educationists, physicians, litterateurs, journalists, philosophers, farmers, students, and children – people from all walks of life who sacrificed their lives for our victory. 

We pay homage to those 30 lakh dauntless martyrs and commemorate this day with joy. May Bangladesh defend its sovereignty forever, and continue working tirelessly to eliminate chaos and bigotry, and ascertain peace, people's security and rights.
