Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Bengali: ; 17 শখ মুিজবুর রহমান Bangabandhu March 1920 – 15 August 1975), shortened as Sheikh Mujib or just Mujib, was a Bangladeshi politician and statesman. He is called the ববু "Father of the Nation" in Bangladesh. He served as the first Sheikh Mujibur Rahman President of Bangladesh and later as the Prime Minister of শখ মুিজবুর রহমান Bangladesh from 17 April 1971 until his assassination on 15 August 1975.[1] He is considered to be the driving force behind the independence of Bangladesh. He is popularly dubbed with the title of "Bangabandhu" (Bôngobondhu "Friend of Bengal") by the people of Bangladesh. He became a leading figure in and eventually the leader of the Awami League, founded in 1949 as an East Pakistan–based political party in Pakistan. Mujib is credited as an important figure in efforts to gain political autonomy for East Pakistan and later as the central figure behind the Bangladesh Liberation Movement and the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. Thus, he is regarded "Jatir Janak" or "Jatir Pita" (Jatir Jônok or Jatir Pita, both meaning "Father of the Nation") of Bangladesh. His daughter Sheikh Hasina is the current leader of the Awami League and also the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. An initial advocate of democracy and socialism, Mujib rose to the ranks of the Awami League and East Pakistani politics as a charismatic and forceful orator. He became popular for his opposition to the ethnic and institutional discrimination of Bengalis 1st President of Bangladesh in Pakistan, who comprised the majority of the state's population. -
