Liberation war of Bangladesh

The name of our country is Bangladesh. Before 1971 it was known as East Pakistan. Then we were the part of Pakistan. East Pakistan started to oppress us in many ways. They did not give our rights. On 25th March 1971 the Pakistani army invaded our mother land. They killed many people and injured lot. Many women were tortured by them. Many people fled to India to survive. But people could not bear any more. They made themselves ready to protect the invaded army. Many common people, with the help of Indian government, fought against them. They fought for Liberation. So it is called Liberation War of Bangladesh. Then Sheikh Mujib was the leader and General Ataul Gani Osmani was the Army Chief. People fought for nine month and after nine month we received our liberation. But it took lives of more than thirty lakh of people. Now we are a free nation. We remember the freedom fighter with great respect.
