Days of infamy On March 26, 1971 the ‘father of the Nation’ Bongobondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared the independence of Bangladesh before he was arrested by Pakistani forces. And then began the war of liberation. The people of the then-East Pakistan took part in this war to liberate Bangladesh from the oppression of military leaders of Pakistan. Independence for Bangladesh was gained through a nine-month civil war against the Pakistan Army, which according to one estimate, resulted in the loss of about 3 million Bengalis. The Mukti Bahini (freedom fighters), with military support from India, defeated the Pakistani Army, which formally surrendered on December 16, 1971.
