#Bangladesh liberation war

Abbas Attar's photographs of Dhaka on December 16, 1971: when the Pakistani Armed Forces finally surrendered to Mukti Bahini, ending the nine-month Liberation War and 1971 Bangladesh genocide and marking the official secession of East Pakistan to become the new state of Bangladesh. Bangladesh commemorates this day as Victory Day (বিজয় দিবস) to honour the martyrs who laid their lives down in the war.

February 21 is named International Mother Language day by UNESCO.

In case you don’t know, Ekushey February is a day of remembrance for Bangladeshis. On February 21, 1952, students of Dhaka University and other members of the community were holding a protest to have Bangla (Bengali) recognized as an official language of the country. At the time Pakistan was ruling over East Bengal (now Bangladesh), and had declared Urdu the official language of both East and West Pakistan and prohibited the learning/teaching/speaking of Bangla.

That day, demonstrators were tear gassed and police opened fire, killing 29 people.

Almost 20 years later, East Bengal would face a bloody genocide that was largely ignored by the United States even after Archer Blood sent Nixon and Kissinger multiple telegrams describing the massacre and atrocities being carried out by Pakistan and its sympathizers. Hindus were largely targeted in this genocide as Pakistan wanted to create an Urdu speaking Islamic country, while Bengalis just wanted to live as Bengalis regardless of religion. Tactics such as humiliation, false imprisonment, and sexual assault were used large and wide.

Bangladesh survived and rose out of the bloody and brutality into a young nation. It’s still a country that has many struggles, issues exacerbated by Operation Searchlight.

After the war was won, funnily enough Israel was the first country to reach out to Bangladesh and say it recognizes Bangladesh as an independent country. However, Bangladesh refused Israel’s recognition and proceeded to outwardly support Palestine’s support for liberation. Bangladesh publicly supported Palestine during the 1973 Yom Kippur War and sent medical teams and supplies to help Palestine.

To me, the liberation of Palestine has been a matter close to my heart simply through birth, before I even knew what liberation meant I knew Palestine required it. The liberation of my people is interconnected to the liberation of Palestine. As a child of genocide survivors, hearing their stories, and seeing genocides take place in front of my eyes is heartbreaking and distressing. But I also continue to have hope, because so many countries have faced the same and at the end of the day they were the ones that came out on top.

One day, just like Bangladesh, Palestine will be free.

Joy Bangla and Free Palestine.

There needs to be a large international investigation into atrocities committed during the Bangladesh liberation war.

[archiveofliterature]

that one line about ramy's bangla being rudimentary made me absolutely sob (i'm bengali) and i wanna talk about why

there's so much to it both contextually with ramy's character as well as historically. contextually because ramy is fluent in 6 languages, an insane number of languages for one person but none of which are his mother tongue. he's described as a performer, one who knows he can't blend in so instead he stands out as a means to escape as much of the racism as he can. he gets lost in it that he almost forgets who he is; this is reflected in his language ability too – he gets so lost in his linguistic academics he just barely remembers the native language of his home place that he adores.

and honestly, you can't even really blame ramy for it at all when it was induced. it's the british who saw urdu, arabic and persian as more valuable than bangla, it's the british that make ramy put on this act so he can literally stay alive. and when you know the historical relevancies between urdu and bangla, it hurts so much that ramy was forced to forget bangla

very brief history context: after the partition, where british india was split into india, pakistan and east pakistan (now bangladesh) bangla was seen as inferior to urdu due to its hindu connections. bengalis experienced so much shit because of this (and bengali muslims are still dealing with the internalised cultural racism today honestly). pakistanis tried to make the official language urdu, even though literally everyone in east pakistan were bengali and spoke bangla, so bengalis fought back against it. we still celebrate that day today (feb 21)

so to have ramy be in this position in the 1830s where urdu was seen as superior to bangla, especially when ramy is a bengali muslim, is just extremely accurate?? and maybe it's bc we don't have much western literature where we talk about this but it's just so nice to have it acknowledged

the bangla language movement didn't happen until around the 1950s, over a century after babel's timeline, but the seeds are always there. while i do think it comes with both this islamic superiority tendency a lot of asians have (arabs i'm looking at you) and britian's imperialistic racism, i just love how it all makes sense

THE STUDENTS OF BANGLADESH ARE DYING.

The so called students league called BCL or Bangladesh Chatro league, who are basically the rabid dogs of the rolling government of Bangladesh are attacking, assaulting and killing the students protesting against the Quota system that gives off government jobs for the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters of the liberation war. Our own prime minister called us rajakar (traitor who betrayed Bangladesh to Pakistan in 1971) and said anyone who isn't the child of declared freedom fighter is a child of a rajakar. So the students created a slogan "who am I? Who are you? Rajakar, rajakar!" Ignoring the irony of the slogan, the pm set her rabid dogs on the students, my people are dying because she (pm) refuses to let go of nepotism. We can't use our freedom of speech. Please help us.

Our Internet is being cut off, our accounts are being hacked, our electricity is said to be gone soon. SPREAD THE WORD.

Vijay Diwas is a day of immense pride for India, commemorating the nation's historic victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war. This conflict, lasting just 13 days, concluded with Pakistan’s unconditional surrender, leading to the creation of Bangladesh. It remains a defining moment highlighting India's dedication to justice, peace, and humanity.

[yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere]

to all of you who see this-not just 1 500+ more ppl who follow me here PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS, EDUCATE YOURSELF and OTHERS, and get to work, learn how to help, and share share share!!!

I currently have 700+ followers. And I will urge all of you to read about what is happening in Bangladesh. What has happened in Bangladesh. I am adding irrelevant tags of the fandoms I follow to garner more attention. I apologize in advance.

The government of Bangladesh killed pressumably 950+ people, innocent people, students, all because they demanded a system that will give them government jobs based on merit rather than quota. To suppress the students Sheikh Hasina and its government imposed 5 days of total internet blackout. While imposing this blackout they killed off anyone of the streets. They killed people from helicopters by shooting and throwing grenades. Many kids died in their own homes as the bullet shot them through their window.

Sheikh Hasina and its police took away all the dead bodies and the death registries from the hospital. The official death toll is 200. But various journalistic and medical staff sources confirm the death toll is over 950 in Dhaka alone.

That monster of a PM didn't acknowledge the death of the students. Instead she is crying over the infrastructure vandalism. I request you,rise up and speak out about this. Educate yourself and let other people know. The internet blackout have suppressed the truth at large. The Bangladeshi people are in deep surveillance and the government have made 2000+ arrests on false charges just because they have shared the Information. There is mass fear mongering. I know most of you people are not Bangladeshis and that's why you need to help us and speak up about it. Join your local protests, share the news in your social media, twitter Instagram. I beg you, don't let my people's murderers get away with it. Don't let my people's death be forgotten.

I am attaching some links for you to understand the horror of it all.

This Facebook page Bringing justice to you has documented all the horrors and the massacres that happened on Bangladeshi people. TW : all kinds of blood, gore, death bodies, every single horrible things imaginable but shows what went down.

This ig page is also another page that brings you the horror stories.
