Answer:
The 7 March Speech of Bangabandhu was a speech given by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh on 7 March 1971 at the Ramna Race Course maidan in Dhaka to a gathering of over 10 lakh (1,000,000) people.
It was delivered during a period of escalating tensions between East Pakistan and the powerful political and military establishment of West Pakistan. In the speech, Rahman proclaimed: "The struggle this time, is the struggle for our freedom! The struggle this time, is the struggle for our independence!" He announced a civil disobedience movement in the province, calling for "every house to turn into a fortress".
The speech inspired the Bengali people to prepare for a war of independence amid widespread reports of armed mobilisation by West Pakistan.
The Bangladesh Liberation War began 18 days later when the Pakistan Army launched Operation Searchlight against Bengali civilians, intelligentsia, students, politicians, and armed personnel.
On 30 October 2017, UNESCO added the speech in the Memory of the World Register as a documentary heritage
Bangabandhu started with the lines, "Today, I appeared before you with a heavy heart. You know everything and understand as well. We tried with our lives. But the painful matter is that today, in Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Rajshahi and Rangpur, the streets are dyed red with the blood of our brethren. Today the people of Bengal want freedom, the people of Bengal want to survive, the people of Bengal want to have their rights. What wrong did we do?"
He mentioned four conditions for joining the National Assembly on 25 March:
The immediate lifting of martial law;
The immediate withdrawal of all military personnel to their barracks;
The immediate transfer of power to elected representatives of the people;
A proper inquiry into the loss of life during the conflict.
