The 7th March speech by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is considered a defining moment in the history of Bangladesh. On that fateful day in 1971, before a massive crowd at the then Race Course Maidan in Dhaka, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered a powerful and impassioned speech that resonated with the aspirations and hopes of the Bengali people. In his address, he outlined the grievances and injustices faced by the people of East Pakistan, and called for a united struggle against the oppressive regime. He declared, “This time, the struggle is for our freedom. This time, the struggle is for our independence.” His words ignited a sense of nationalistic fervor and galvanized the people of Bangladesh, ultimately leading to the birth of an independent nation. The 7th March speech has since become a symbol of courage, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of the Bangladeshi people in their pursuit of freedom and self-determination.
