Thoughts on Victory Day

I recall the courage of the freedom fighters who risked their lives to free the country from the clutches of the marauding Pakistani army. Many of the freedom fighters were quite young but they cared little about their lives. They were driven by patriotism. We also recall those nameless people who embraced martyrdom so that we can breathe freely in an independent nation. We had to wade through a sea of blood to achieve freedom. 30 lakh people laid down their lives in the nine month's struggle for freedom.

We shall never forget the martyrs of our Liberation War and we salute the freedom fighters who are still alive.
