The UNESCO’s recognition of 7th March speech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as a world documentary heritage is a welcome news for Bangladesh. Our foreign ministry, embassy men and others from our country have long been trying to persuade UNESCO members for the honour.
The speech has been included in the Memory of the World International Register — a list of world’s famous documentary heritage maintained by UNESCO that includes speeches by renowned world leaders and such other important documents of historic value for generations to come.
His 7th March speech as it was a rare political oration and thunderous in voice before a mammoth public meeting at Suhrawardy Uddyan will go down as sending forth a powerfully motivating message for popular uprising for freedom and emancipation.
This speech was delivered in a hopeless angry situation of not getting his plan for autonomy through the elected parliament. The West Pakistan leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was obstructing convening of the elected parliament.
Such recognition by UNESCO to be included in the Memory of the World Heritage Documentaries confirms the quality of delivery of the oration and nobody will disagree that Bangabandhu was not the most fiery orator for arousing the people for the cause of independence of Bangladeshis.
His call that “Ebarer sangram amader muktir sangram, ebarer sangram swadhinatar sangram” [The struggle this time is a struggle for emancipation] is a forceful call to make people ready for extreme sacrifice for the struggle to enjoy freedom and liberty.
The speech has been judged independently from any other considerations and purely for its own power to impact on the people for historic developments. In that sense the whole credit for the honour of recognition as a world heritage document must go to Bangabandhu for his astonishing force of oration and quality of deliberation.
