Our brave Muktijoddhas fought valiantly alongside the people of Bangladesh to defeat the Pakistani Army and achieve the new sovereign country of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh from the occupying forces on December 16, 1971.  Genocide was committed on the people of Bangladesh by the Pakistan Army. Millions of people were martyred, assaulted, raped, and driven from their homes, and forced to become refugees in India. 

We will never forget their sacrifice and forever salute, cherish and celebrate their heroism.
