Always invincible!

We know that Bangladesh experienced foreign rule until we achieved complete freedom. In retrospect we see that Bangladesh was under the Palas(750-1030), the Senas(1030-1202/4) ,and after the Senas the foreign Muslim rule was established. This rule was divided into two periods: Sultanate and Mughal period. During these periods Bangladesh was a province of Delhi, the then capital of the Sultans and the Mughals. After winning freedom from the subjugation of the British in 1947, the countrymen wanted a free and sovereign nation for themselves but their dreams were shattered by the Pakistani rulers. The intrigues and plots did not work for a long time because our ancestors were men of indomitable spirit. They fought for independence and ultimately won it!
