Summary: In 1971, the Bangladesh Liberation War saw the formation of an Authentication Committee for the 'Writing and Printing of a History of Bangladesh War of Liberation,' consisting of esteemed members from various academic backgrounds. The conflict escalated after Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared hartal and organized a meeting at Race Course Maidan in Dhaka, sparking resistance against Pakistani forces. Col. Chowdhury, an East Pakistani, initially protected Bengalis but was later replaced by a West Pakistani contingent, leading to violence and riots in Chittagong. The establishment of a Bangladesh Planning Board aimed to address regional disparities and promote development projects. The trial of Sheikh Mujib by a special tribunal was politically charged, with international attention drawn through the involvement of British lawyers. The anti-autonomy stance of Punjabi leaders and the military rule under Yahya Khan further fueled the Bengali nationalist movement, highlighting the struggle for regional autonomy and the quest for self-determination in East Pakistan. The international community, including the US Senate, became involved in condemning the atrocities and supporting the cause of Bangladesh, as the conflict gained global attention and support.
