The March 7 speech inspired us, dreaming of moving forward

As Bangabandhu wanted the liberation and freedom of the people of this country, he said in his historic speech on March 7, "This time the struggle is our liberation struggle, this time the struggle, the struggle for freedom." Originally, the speech given by Bangabandhu on that day was considered as a public call of the liberation war. Then, responding to Bangabandhu's call, millions of people jumped into the liberation struggle. That speech of Bangabandhu given on the racecourse ground is still in the blood of the Bengali nation. In his thunderous voice that day, "This time the struggle is for our liberation, this time the struggle is for freedom" - was a call for a public declaration of war against the Pakistani exploiters. Bangabandhu will leave Bangladesh independent. He had been showing the dream of independent Bangladesh to the Bengali nation for so long, this time he set foot on that path for the independence of the country. Bangabandhu sowed the seeds of independence in his speech on 7th March. Meanwhile, Bangabandhu's speech on March 7 has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This speech is a source of inspiration to the present new generation. As long as it lasts, the speech of March 7 will be a source of inspiration to the new generation. It is safe to say that they will present the golden Bengal of the father of the nation as a brilliant sculptor in the world.

Tofail Ahmed, a senior Awami League leader close to Bangabandhu, said in an interview with the BBC: He said, "Say whatever you believe. He gave the speech on March 7 out of his own thoughts. The speech was not written."

A great feature of Bangabandhu's speech on March 7 is its universality and humanity. This speech is always appealing to any oppressed people This speech speaks of democracy, self-determination, freedom, humanity and all people As a result, this speech has become universal beyond the boundaries of country and time Another man gave an unwritten speech, in a short time, without any repetition, pointing out the dreams, struggles and future of a nation. He spoke from the place of faith He spoke in a language acceptable to the common people The biggest thing is that Bangabandhu has understood the wants and needs of the common people Bangabandhu has shown them what they want As a result, this speech became a mirror of a nation's expectation This speech has inspired a nation to jump into the war of liberation Even during the liberation war, this speech provided inspiration And even after all these years, people still listen to his speech

In his speech, Bangabandhu said, "We are the majority in numbers, but if even one person speaks fairly, we will accept it." There can be no greater democratic value than this. He said that in this Bengal, Hindus or Muslims, Bengalis or non-Bengalis are all children of this country, the responsibility for the security of their lives and property lies with the people. He told the party leaders and workers that we should not be discredited.

Speech on March 7 The historic speech of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on March 7 is now an international resource. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognized the speech on October 30, 2017, as a World Heritage Site. The International Advisory Committee (IAC) of the organization decided to list the March 7 speech in the World International Registrar at its meeting held from 24 to 27 October that year.

Bangabandhu's speech on March 7 has been translated into innumerable languages. Now, not only in Bangladesh but all over the world, generation after generation has come to know how Bangabandhu maintained balance through difficult speech in difficult situations. How he kept millions of people calm but also gave the message of preparation for the struggle. Bangabandhu has taught us how to fight without any complaint or provocation. The March 7th speech inspired us, to dream of moving forward.
