Today is March 25, National Genocide Day. At the end of this day in 1971, a terrible night came in the life of the Bengali nation. The most brutal chapter in human history was written on this day. At midnight on this day in 1971, in the name of 'Operation Searchlight', barbaric Pakistani military forces attacked unarmed Bengalis across the country including the capital.
