The students of Bangladesh played a significant role during the freedom struggle in 1971. Their sacrifice, zeal, heroism, and gallantry constitute an important part of our national history. During the nine-month struggle, numerous students left their places of learning, and underwent military training to fight against the Pakistani armed forces. The student community of this country have always been conscious about their sociopolitical responsibilities. They have created the tradition of sacrificing their tender lives for the cause of mother tongue, democracy, and homeland. In 1952, they faced bullets or gun-shots, and ultimately Bangla was made one of the state languages of Pakistan. They led a mass movement in 1969 to free Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who was falsely implicated in the so-called “Agartala Conspiracy Case.” They brought down the existing regime from the pinnacle of power. However, the students should not assume that their duties are over. They should remember that it is hard to win freedom, but it -is harder to preserve it.
