December is the Month of Victory for Bangladesh

But the oceanic abyss of cries of pain of 1971 yet reverberate into the ears of the living…in Bangladesh.

December is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection. December is the time for remembering our glorified past and reaching toward the future. More clearly, it is a victorious month in Bangladesh for us all, except anti-Bangladesh liberation forces, their present successors, extremum communal and reactionary Islamist riotous people and their vile cronies like CIA, IRI, NED, ISI, ISIS, et al!

December is the Month of Victory for Bangladesh, because we achieved our own independent and sovereign homeland – Bangladesh on 16 December in 1971 at the bay of blood of people of all religions for people of all religions to live together in peace and harmony after a bloody war with the brutal Pakistani armies and their mango-twigs – America and China.

Every year, we celebrate the month of December, particularly 16 December, our Victory Day with high gear pomp and grandeur. But this year, December has come to us with immense bereavement and saddened suspirations. Because –

HPM Sheikh Hasina’s down-fall from power on 5 August 2024 in Bangladesh had not happened due to anti-quota movement by pupils during the last July-August. The anti-quota movement was simply a pretext by the most powerful foreign power America and their cronies from the very beginning. In fact, it is a well-prepared, well-planned, lynx-eyed, well-ordered and hawk-eyed - billions of US Dollar blueprint by dreaded CIA conjoined with forces like Prof Dr. Yunus like a close ally of America, Jamaat-e-BNP, Pakistan’s vile spy agency ISI, some extreme right-wingers - so-called Islamists killing rams, Bangladesh army chief, his loyalist cronies and the Chinese Dragon which led rufescent of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina government from power in Bangladesh unlawfully on 5 August 2024. She is still HPM of Bangladesh.

The evil design of the western major power for Sheikh Hasina’s remotion from power is to set-up a military base in our Saint Martin Island, in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox's Bazar-Teknaf peninsula, and forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh from where they want to control Southeast Asian and Eastern Asian countries making Bangladesh a feudatory state to serve their evil purposes.

The brazen-faced truth is: Sheikh Hasina didn’t cede to that western major power for their military base in Bangladesh! So, she was booted out from power not conforming to the law.

After Sheikh Hasina’s removal from power unlawfully, looting, vandalising, arsoning, forcefully occupying the houses and properties of Hindus and other communities, destroying temples, churches and other substances of communities of Hindus and people of other religions went on with unflagging resolve for some time by extremely communal and reactionary forces, especially by so-called Islamist - fundamentalistic Jamaat-Islami mass-murderers of 1971, their dreaded scions, direful Shibir cadres and other Islamist fundies and stumblebums in Bangladesh. These are all extreme barbarism, savagery and viciousness.

Some educated and uneducated people belong to those Jamaati Shibir, Dhaka cantonment born illegitimate political squad BNP and other small factions of so-called left-winger political parties support these hateful acts as they continue to happen, nothing to blame, goddamned and doggone for these sub-humans. 

We saw thousands of students independently looting everything they can at the house of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. A young couple is proudly showing the sarees looted in front of a TV camera. A student hanging her grandmother with the equivalent Prime Minister's underwear.

After Sheikh Hasina’s forceful removal from power, the army backed (dreaded Jamaat-e-Islami emblazoned) ‘Interim Government’ was formed on the night of 8 August 2024 - not conforming to the country’s law, led by disputable octogenarian Prof Dr. Muhammad Yunus, who has been found guilty of allegedly violating labour laws and has been given a six-month jail term and fined.

Those people are also so imbecilic that they destroyed all mega establishments valued billions of dollars made for the benefits of all people by Hasina government. The entire development landscape of Bangladesh was revolutionized almost close to any developed nation across the world by her government. 

To our utter disgrace, completely outrageous, we found our LIBERATOR’S house at 32 Dhanmondi, the LIGHTHOUSE of all our struggles, movements and Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971 led by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman – our Father of the Nation, was demolished and all valuable memorabilia were looted from that grand historic memorial house by anti-Bangladesh thugs! We couldn’t bear the burden of such bestiality by those hellish creatures! Thus, they have made unpardonable offence. The house of Dhanmondi 32 is not just a house, it is an uppercase and majuscule history in establishing Bangladesh in 1971 at the bay of blood.

These hellish creatures didn't want to keep any sign of Brobdingnagian development works of AL government led by Sheikh Hasina playing at ill-advisedly by the major western power’s dreaded CIA in collusion with Prof Dr. Yunus, an apple polisher of the western major power-Pakistan's direful ISI-Jamaat-e-BNP like terrible killing squads.  

If Sheikh Hasina is wrongly translated by the new generation, it is a long responsibility. This unstable generation will have to be regretful later, if they are humane, not like American government and their cronies. 

The army backed by dreaded Jamaat-e-Islami emblazoned ‘Interim Government’ now in Bangladesh is illegal, not consistent with or according to Bangladesh’s constitution and not morally right or permissible, because Sheikh Hasina has not resigned, but she was forced to leave Bangladesh at gun-points by the unworthy army chief and his mango-twigs dictated by CIA, Pakistan’s ISI, China and some other local evil designers as mentioned above to turn the country into a stylus of Talibani-ISIS res publica - a Banana Republic.

If war is necessary, it is a necessary evil. Its evil is sometimes concealed for a time by its glamour and excitement, but when war is seen in its reality, there is a little glory about it. At its best, it is hideous calamity. It brings in awful loss of life. In our great liberation war of 1971, millions of men, women and children were killed; many died of diseases, and encountered untold sufferings. Hundreds of thousands of our mothers and sisters lost their chastity at the wretched hands of Pakistan’s savage military forces and their local mango-twigs, particularly Jamaat-e-Islami gawks.

If we recall the divested homes and wrecked hearts tell the rest of the story with tears. It brought in destruction of property, waste of health, dislocation of trade and industry, and general upsetting of the social life of the nation on war imposed on us on 26 March 1971 deliberately by Pakistani military junta.

Men have found way to abolish their great evils, such as, slavery and if they want to abolish war, they can definitely find ways to do that as where there is a will there is a way. We must not think the way Pakistan and American rogue states think.

Some people forget that war always brings destruction on mass scale. They forget Mahatma Gandhi’s teaching of non-violence, following which he freed his motherland from the shackles of slavery. They forget that if Gandhi could oust the powerful Britishers by dint of non-violence, why not others follow the same foot print.

In the month of our victory, we want to remember that wars are necessary evils and their horrors are so many and of such magnitude that they cannot be described in words. We must not forget the horrors of the two world wars. In the wars, there was mass-killing and destruction of property. Thousands were made widows and orphans. War brings hatred and spreads falsehood. People become selfish and brutal. As a result, humanity and morality suffers.

War is the enemy of all humanity and human civilisation. Nothing good can be achieved out of it. Hence, it can never be glorified in any form. It not only hampers the development of the nation but also uproots social cohesiveness. It slows down the pace of progress of mankind.

Wars are not the solution of the problems. Instead, they generate problems and create hatred among nations. War can decide one issue but gives birth too many. Bangladesh, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the greatest horrible faces of the consequence of wars. Even after so many decades, people are suffering from the miseries of war. Whatever be the cause of war, it always results in destruction of life and property at large.

One obnoxious face of modern warfare is terrorism which targets the strongest of the strong and causes dangers beyond control of anyone. Terrorists do not discriminate between races, religion, and culture. They target only the humanity as a whole. 

Victory Day is celebrated every 16 December in Bangladesh to mark the anniversary of the surrender of Pakistan’s armed forces in Bangladesh at the end of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

We are in the know of the union with Pakistan only came about as a result of the partition of British India into Muslim and Hindu zones in 1947 – India becoming one nation and Pakistan another. However, West Pakistan (now Pakistan) was separated by hundreds of miles from East Pakistan (Bangladesh), which made for a most unnatural union.

Later, Pakistan began to refuse equal status to the Bengali language, people of this land and otherwise ignite resentment in Bangladesh. Finally, in 1971, a bloody broke out with Pakistan as Bengalis demanded an independent and sovereign state. 

Aided by India and former Soviet Union, and by the logistical difficulty of holding onto a land so geographically separated from their homeland, Pakistan was finally defeated. The Pakistan’s General Amir Niazi finally surrendered to the joint forces of Bangladesh and India on 16 December at the-then Ramna Race Course in Dhaka. The crowds gathered to witness the event cheered wildly. Within only a few months’ time, most other nations of the world had recognised Bangladesh’s hard-won independence.

The 16th of December, 1971 is a red-letter day in our national history. It was on this day; we were to snatch our independences after a life and death liberation war for long nine months. This victory was a victory of right against wrong. It was a war of self-emancipation. Every year, we observe this day in a colorful manner. This day reminds us of the supreme in a colorful manner.

This day also reminds us of the supreme sacrifice of our freedom fighters who will ever shine in our hearts like the luminous stars in the sky. But at the same time, we must remember the spirit of the liberation war. 

We wanted a country where justice will prevail over injustice and wrong. The lords of the mischief mongers are getting upper hand in the society, whereas the meek and mild become the worst sufferers. Disorder in everything has become the order of the day.

I call back after the victory, I felt proud and dignified. I revisited the well-known battlefields, which were familiar to me, after the war was over.

December - the month of the war victory marks great memories for us as we lived the moments of victory on 16 December 1971, and feel glory of eliminating all sense of sorrow incurred by the defeat of Pakistan’s military forces.

On this month of December, we pay rich tributes to the memory of the martyrs who laid down their lives for the sake of our independence. So, let all of us remember the spirit of the victory and see to establish just laws in the country to build it as a country which is rightly be called Sonar Bangla.

The sacrifice of those martyrs is a great inspiration for us. Their memory moves us with patriotic feeling and inspires us to stand for the interest of our country.

December is a red-letter month for the people of Bangladesh. The biggest fight for the people of a nation is the fight for independence. Salute to the brave army and people of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is a symbol of the immense victory of good against evil! It was a celebration of the right against wrong. Every fighter who sacrificed their life for the freedom of the country will forever stay at the heart of the people. 

Independence brought with it a wave of economic freedom and greater opportunity to grow in the country. It is that month in the year when we take time to remember the real-life heroes who gave us the life we are living today. 

The struggle for freedom was long and gory for the people of Bangladesh. However, the moment they achieved it, there was a sigh of relief in the entire country.

Liberation war was bloody and disturbing, but the after effects of the victory has been fulfilling for the people of Bangladesh. Freedom of Bangladesh is a common victory for all the people of country and they make sure that it is used perfectly.

Let us use the independence in the right manner as it comprises the hard-earned tears and sweats of all the people of the nation who had been through the liberation war of 1971. Salute the flag as the red ball in the national flag of Bangladesh symbolises the power of the country and also the blood that has been shed by our soldiers to get freedom. Victory day of Bangladesh is part of the collective memory of country. The greatest battle fought and won by the nation and its people.

Let us take an oath that we will not misuse the freedom given to us by the country. We will make each of the freedom fighter proud with the way we use our independence. Independence of ours shall not cut the freedom of others. Co-exist and co-ordinate is the mantra of living. 

Our freedom was possible due to the support of India and former Soviet Union. Our youth got trained and we got freedom through our youths. Victory day is a struggle to be at the depth of our heart forever.

The cruelty can only be defeated with grit and determination. Every warrior from Bangladesh was then determined to drive out the Pakistani enemies and live on their own terms. The nation faced its greatest crisis until finally the Victory Day arrived and the people of Bangladesh could finally smile.

On the morning of 16 December 1971, the sun did shine bright on the land of Bangladesh and the day was greeted with smile throughout the entire country. 

Bangladesh is rich in culture and heritage. Pakistani rulers wanted to play with it and hence were thrown out of the country. The nation has had enough of patriots; let us not add to it by fighting amongst each other. 

You cannot cage a wild bird and so you cannot cage Bangladesh. It is a country flying high with dreams and thriving to betterment every moment. We struggled our way to freedom and we are never going to easily let it away! The cries of pain yet reverberates the ears of the living. Our nation has a dark history and it teaches us to fight and stand for ourselves. 

On the whole, war has always been the greatest blot on humanity. Now it requires retrospection for the whole of human race to think over it for the sake of humanity, otherwise nothing will remain neither war nor humanity.

Another betrayal to Bangladesh by Anti-Bangladesh Liberation Forces, Bangla-speaking stranded Bengalis in Bangladesh and 2024 CIA Roguery sub-humans have occupied Bangladesh on 5 August 2024. Uncle Sam has many despicable faces. For America, is one policy, but for other nations, the same thing they did or have not applied since the World War-2.

If the American establishment stops its meddling into the internal affairs of other independent and sovereign countries at their free-will, the writer of this piece strongly believes 95% violence, war, drone attack, destruction, killing, … across the world will dramatically come to an end. The rest 5% discommodes from the whole world will then automatically diminish. The whole world will be a peaceful and livable place for people of all religions to live together.

But because of the CIA…Bangladesh is now the homeland of Anti-Bangladesh Liberation Forces after 53 years of its independence. In 1971, we gave a crushing defeat to the brutally evil nexus of Pakistan-America-China taking mighty support from India and former Soviet Union. But after more than half a century, they have taken avenge on us in Bangladesh.

It is aptly said that any crime that's not committed by the Mafia is done by the CIA. And Bangladesh is now a burning example of such a colossus crime committed by CIA. The CIA’s Love Child is the present Interim Government led by Prof Dr Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh.

But we must defeat them eternally soon in the sacred land of Bangladesh and want to retrieve our humane – glorified Bangladesh by this December.
