Fiery March is a memorable month in the history of the nation of Bengalees. On the night of March 25,1971, the Pakistan army pounced upon the unarmed Bengalees. They killed millions of innocent people. But the Bengalees had the courage and undaunted spirit to face the challenge. And after nine months of war, we became independent. Today we are free only due to the supreme sacrifices made by the valiant martyrs. We have our own culture and heritage. March gave us the spirit of liberation. People still remember the martyrs and have great love and respect for them. Their dreams will be fulfilled only if we can build a prosperous country.
