The Historical 7th March speech by Bangabandhu 
(From the Department of Films and Publications- Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh)

(The crowd cheer at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s arrival at the Racecourse)

Brothers of mine;

Historical Speech:: Today I appear before you with a heavy heart. You know and understand everything. We tried with our lives. But the painful matter is that now the streets of Dhaka, Chittagong,

Khulna, Rajhshahi and Rangpur are stained with the bloods of my brothers.

Now the people of Bangla want freedom. The people of Bangla want to live. The people of Bangla want to have their rights.

What wrong did we commit?
