Victory Day is one of the major occasions in the Bangladeshi calendar. How do they celebrate Victory Day in Bangladesh? The day and the whole Bangladesh Liberation War is a topic of great importance throughout the region and is heavily represented in Bangladeshi literature, art, music, cinema, mass media and historical teachings. Since 1972 the celebration of Victory Day has taken place in Bangladesh every year. And today the population of Bangladesh is around 164 million making it the eighth most populous country in the world. Many of the United Nations subsequently began to recognise Bangladesh as an independent country. The surrender was signed at the Ramna Race Course in Dhaka with thousands in the crowd cheering on and celebrating the momentous occasion. Then on the 16th of December in 1971, after many fierce and lengthy battles, the Lieutenant General of the Pakistan Armed Forces signed the Instrument of Surrender. The period was one of the most violent in the whole of the twentieth century. It was a large-scale war which resulted in millions of deaths and the exodus of millions of refugees. East Pakistan and India were pitted against West Pakistan in battles that lasted for nine months and resulted in the secession of East Pakistan and the creation of an independent Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Liberation War, which took place in 1971, was fought by Bangladesh against Pakistan in order for Bangladesh to become an independent country. The Bengali name for Victory Day is বিজয় দিবস ( Bijôy Dibôs). In the Bengali Calendar Victory Day takes place on 1 Poush (Poush is the ninth month of the Bengali calendar and is also the first month of Winter). In 1996, the national Bangladesh Bank created and issued a 10 Taka note that commemorates the 25th anniversary of Victory Day. The day is also celebrated by Bangladeshis and Bangladesh communities around the world. The day is also commemorated across India as well in honour of the Bangladeshi and Indian soldiers who fought and laid down their lives. Victory Day is celebrated on December 16 and is observed throughout the country. Victory Day is a Bangladesh Holiday held every year to commemorate the victory of Bangladeshi forces in the Bangladesh Liberation War which took place in 1971. What is Victory Day and when is it celebrated?
Alongside Independence Day and Language Martyrs’ Day, a number of other national holidays are celebrated in Bangladesh.
