Paragraph: Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

The father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the architect of independent Bangladesh. He is
recognized as the greatest Bengali of the past Thousand Years. We owe to his charismatic leadership for making us
a free nation. This great leader was born on 17th March 1920 at Tungipara in Gopalganj. His father's name was
Sheikh Lutfur Rahman and mother's name was Sayera Khatun.He passed the matriculation examination from the
Gopalganj Mission High School. He obtained B.A. degree in 1947 from the Kolkata Islamic college. Afterwards, he
joined the politics and did his best for the Bengali Nation to make them free from the misrule and oppression of
the Pak rulers. His history address on the 17th March 1971, at a mammoth gathering at the Race Course marked a
turning point in the history of the Bengali Nation. In his address he made a clarion call, saying: “Build forts in each
homestead. You must resist the Pakistani army with whatever you have in hand. Remember: since we have already
had to shed blood, we will have to shed a lot more of it. By the grace of Allah we will be able to liberate the people
of this land. The struggle this time is a struggle for freedom__ the struggle this time is a struggle for
emancipation. He was arrested at 25 March, 1971 and was taken to Pakistan. He was sent back home after
Liberation. He was the Prime Minister and sometime President of Bangladesh but unfortunately he was
assassinated by some misguided Army officers on 15th August, 1975, along with most of his family members
excepting for his two daughters. It is considered a great loss for the nation. Nothing can compensate the loss. He
was engraved at Tungipara. (292 words)
