Archival Overview

Founding Father and first President of Bangladesh, revered as 'Bangabandhu' (Friend of Bengal), who delivered the historic March 7 speech and led the struggle for Bengali liberation.

Biographical Record

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1920–1975) emerged from student politics to co-found the Awami League, advocating for Bengali linguistic and economic autonomy within Pakistan. In 1966, he launched the Six-Point Movement, demanding federal autonomy for East Pakistan.

After the Awami League won an absolute parliamentary majority in the 1970 Pakistan general elections, military authorities refused to transfer power. On March 7, 1971, Mujib delivered his immortal speech at the Racecourse Ground: 'The struggle this time is for our freedom!' Survived by his daughter Sheikh Hasina, he was murdered with his family in the 1975 coup.
