Sheik Mujibur Rahman (Mujib) was born on March 17, 1920, in Tungipara village in the Gopalganj subdivision of the Faridpur district in the eastern part of the province of Bengal in British India. A charismatic leader, Sheik Mujib epitomized anti-colonial leadership in the Third World. He organized dissent and rebellion against the British and rose against the injustice and exploitation by the power-wielders in West Pakistan against the Bengali population of East Pakistan.
For Sheikh Mujib the battle for freedom from exploitation was never-ending. Even after winning independence for Bangladesh from Pakistan, an exploitation-free Bengali society eluded him. When he seemed to be having some success in tiding over the most difficult period of post-liberation history, he was assassinated and his family massacred in a fluke coup staged by a handful of junior officers of the fledgling Bangladesh army.∼Movement for independence leader 26 March 1971,
Assasimated in 1975.
