Adan Islam: we victory of a Flag: The war (মুক্তিযুদ্ধ Muktijuddho), also known as the Bangladesh War of Independence began after the Pakistani military junta based in West Pakistan launched Operation Searchlight against the people of East Pakistan on the night of 25 March 1971. It pursued the systematic elimination of nationalist Bengali civilians, students, intelligentsia, religious minorities and armed personnel. The junta annulled the results of the elections and arrested Prime Minister-designate Bongobondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman .The war ended on 16 December 1971 after West Pakistan surrendered. They surrendered formally and we have sent them back to their country by expressing our generosity and forgiveness although they have wounded us by their heinous killing, gang rape to our mothers and world’s most hatred genocide of our children that left a scar mark in the womb of our mother nation. In a short form, this is the main history of cruel birth of BANGLADESH.
Independence Day of Bangladesh has a connection with the Proclamation of Independence of 1971, which is considered to be one of the bases of our national liberation and present legal system. Bangladesh, as a State became independent on 26 March, as it had started to possess all the elements of Statehood from this very day. March 26 is the day Bangladesh declared independence. The day is in remembrance of the martyrs and people who laid their lives down for independence and fought so hard. The 31gunshot salute at dawn marks the beginning of the day’s celebrations.

History of Our flag: Shib Narayan Das (born 16 December 1946) is the first craftsman of the first national flag of Bangladesh. As desired by the then NUCLEUS (Shadhin Bangla Biplobi Parishad) by a match stick and yellow colored paint, he marked the map of Bangladesh over the red circle of the proposed flag in Dhaka University (DU) from deep mid-night of June 6 up to the dawn of June 7 in 1970.
On behalf of the NUCLEUS, the same flag was unfurled by Abdur Rab along with AFM Mahbubul Haq, Das and other student league leaders from the roof top of the western porch of the Arts Faculty of DU, on March 2, 1971, shortly before the outbreak of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the map of Bangladesh was removed from the flag as it had difficulty for rendering the map correctly on both sides of the flag. Artist Quamrul Hassan was asked to report on the design, color, shape and explanation. On 17 January 1972, the new design was made the official national flag of Bangladesh.
We embrace our Flag: as it has significant role in our life. Our flag is consists of a red disc on top of a green field. The red disc is offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centered when the flag is flying. The red disc represents the sun rising over Bengal, and also the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh. The green field stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh. . As a symbol of our pride, we honor our flag in the morning of our Independence Day.
