United Front: The United Front was a political alliance formed in East Pakistan
(now Bangladesh) in 1954. It consisted of several political parties, including the
Awami League, the Krishak Sramik Party, and the Ganatantri Dal, among others.
The United Front aimed to challenge the ruling Muslim League and advocate for
greater autonomy for East Pakistan.

Basic Democracy: Basic Democracy was a system of local government introduced

in Pakistan in 1959 by President Ayub Khan. Under this system, power was
decentralized, and local councils called Basic Democracies were established at the
village, town, and district levels. The members of these councils were indirectly
elected by Electoral Colleges.
Basic Democrats: Basic Democrats were the members of the local councils
established under the Basic Democracy system in Pakistan. These councils were
intended to provide a platform for grassroot-level participation in governance and
decision-making.

Six-Point Demands: The Six-Point Demands were a set of political demands put
forward by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the leader of the Awami League, in 1966.
These demands called for greater autonomy and rights for East Pakistan and
included provisions such as regional autonomy, fiscal autonomy, and control over
internal security, among others. The Six-Point Demands played a significant role in
shaping the political landscape and eventually led to the independence of
Bangladesh.

Agartala Conspiracy Case: The Agartala Conspiracy Case was a controversial legal
case in 1968-1969 during the period of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The case
alleged a conspiracy by a group of Bengali military officers and Awami League
leaders to secede East Pakistan from Pakistan. However, the case was widely seen
as politically motivated and an attempt to suppress dissent. The trial and
subsequent public protests against it became a turning point in the movement for
Bangladesh's independence.

Legal Framework Order: The Legal Framework Order was a constitutional order
issued by President Ayub Khan of Pakistan in 1970. It aimed to structure the
political system of Pakistan and introduced a new electoral system based on a
"Basic Democracy" model. However, it failed to address the demands for greater
provincial autonomy and contributed to the growing discontent in East Pakistan,
eventually leading to the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Results of the general elections of 1970: The general elections of 1970 were held
in Pakistan to determine the composition of the National Assembly. These
elections were significant as they exposed deep divisions between East and West
Pakistan. The Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won a sweeping
majority in East Pakistan, securing 167 out of 169 seats allocated to the region.
However, the party failed to win a single seat in West Pakistan, leading to a
political deadlock and ultimately the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Genocide of 25 March 1971: On the night of 25th March 1971, the Pakistani
military launched a brutal crackdown in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) against
the Bengali nationalist movement. The operation involved widespread violence,
killings, and targeted attacks on the Bengali population, including intellectuals,
political activists, and civilians. The events of that night are often referred to as
the beginning of the Bangladesh Liberation War, which eventually led to the
independence of Bangladesh.

Mujibnagar Government: The Mujibnagar Government, also known as the

Provisional Government of Bangladesh, was established on 17th April 1971 in
Mujibnagar (now in Bangladesh) during the Bangladesh Liberation War. It served
as the interim government of the emerging nation and was led by Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman. The Mujibnagar Government played a crucial role in organizing the
resistance against the Pakistani military and mobilizing international support for
the independence of Bangladesh.

Proclamation of Independence: The Proclamation of Independence refers to the

declaration made by the Mujibnagar Government on 10th April 1971, asserting
the independence of Bangladesh. It declared the sovereignty of Bangladesh and
called upon the Bengali population to join the liberation struggle against Pakistan.

Bangladesh Liberation Forces: The Bangladesh Liberation Forces were the armed
forces and guerrilla groups that fought against the Pakistani military during the
Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. These forces comprised the Mukti Bahini,
which was the main liberation army, as well as various paramilitary and resistance
groups.
Sectors of the Liberation War: During the Bangladesh Liberation War, the territory
of East Pakistan was divided into different sectors for military operations and
administrative purposes. These sectors, such as Sector 1, Sector 2, etc., were
assigned to different commanders and became the focal points of the liberation
struggle. The sectors provided organizational structures for the resistance forces
and facilitated coordination and operations against the Pakistani military.

Veto in the UNSC: The veto power in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
refers to the authority held by the five permanent members of the UNSC, namely
the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom, to block any
resolution, irrespective of its level of support from other member states. Each
permanent member has the power to veto a resolution, which means that even if
all other members support a resolution, a single veto can prevent its adoption.

Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra: Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra, also known as the
Free Bengal Radio, was a clandestine radio station established during the
Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. It operated from a secret location in Kolkata,
India, and broadcasted news, updates, and patriotic songs to inspire and inform
the people of Bangladesh during the war.

The Concert for Bangladesh: The Concert for Bangladesh was a historic benefit
concert held on 1st August 1971 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Organized by George Harrison, a former member of The Beatles, the concert
aimed to raise awareness and funds for the victims of the Bangladesh Liberation
War. The concert featured notable musicians such as Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and
Ravi Shankar, among others, and was a significant event in the international
support for the cause of Bangladesh's independence.
