Sheikh Mujib
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, widely referred to as Sheikh Mujib, was a prominent political leader and the founding father of Bangladesh. Born on March 17, 1920, he played a pivotal role in the country's struggle for independence from Pakistan, especially during the 1970-71 Liberation War. His leadership and vision for a secular and democratic Bangladesh earned him immense popularity, leading to his election as the first Prime Minister and later as President of Bangladesh. Despite facing political challenges and a turbulent period in the country's history, Sheikh Mujib's legacy as a champion of Bengali nationalism continues to resonate in Bangladesh's political landscape. He was assassinated in 1975, but his contributions to the nation are commemorated annually on National Mourning Day.
