A Name Secures Its Place on the World Map — “Bangladesh”
Today, December 16, is the Great Victory Day—the milestone day when the name “Bangladesh” was established on the world map as an independent territory. On this day, after nine consecutive months of the Liberation War that began in March 1971, the Pakistani occupying forces surrendered at the Racecourse Ground in Dhaka (present-day Suhrawardy Udyan). The name “Bangladesh” was inscribed on the world stage.
