Hi, Moni! I would like to know this, too! That first site was an interesting history lesson. I was in high school when this was going on but never really learned what it was all about. For some reason, I couldn't access the second site. I'll try again later.

Moni! What a STUNNING monument that is! What do you know about the design concept? (What it represents?) Can you go inside of it? If yes - what is in there?
 

1. What is Victory Day?

Victory Day is a national holiday in Bangladesh that commemorates the country's liberation from Pakistan in 1971. It is celebrated on December 16th every year.

2. Why is Victory Day important?

Victory Day is important because it marks the end of Bangladesh's nine-month-long liberation war and the country's independence from Pakistan. It is a day to honor and remember the sacrifices made by the people of Bangladesh during the war.

3. How is Victory Day celebrated?

Victory Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm and patriotism in Bangladesh. The day starts with a 31-gun salute and the national flag is hoisted on all government and private buildings. There are also parades, cultural programs, and special events held to honor the war heroes and martyrs.

4. What happened during the Bangladesh Liberation War?

The Bangladesh Liberation War, also known as the Muktijuddho, was a nine-month-long armed conflict between East Pakistan and West Pakistan. East Pakistan, which is now known as Bangladesh, wanted to break away from West Pakistan and establish itself as an independent country. The war ended on December 16th, 1971, with the surrender of the Pakistani army.

5. How has Victory Day evolved over the years?

Initially, Victory Day was celebrated as a secular holiday in Bangladesh. However, in recent years, it has taken on a more religious tone, and special prayers are offered in mosques and other places of worship. There has also been an increase in the number of cultural events and parades to celebrate the day.
