Declaration of Sovereignty

video courtesy: probashibarta (You Tube)

This is the video clip of the legendary speech of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman which I have been watching in television since childhood. It was held on 7Th March, 1971. It shows the final declaration of Liberation War by him when he announced his requisition of fighting back the military rulers when they attack.

In his words, it was to earn the civil rights of Bangalees including democracy. Thousands of people were gathered on that day  in Race-course Maidan to hear this speech, and they were all asked by him to fight back using whatever they have. This was a bold decision that had been taken according to me, as the poverty-struck Bangalees did not have any weapons to face the highly equipped Pakistani Military.
