This is my family.
I'm putting them to rest.
Peace be upon them.
Peace be upon them.
Peace be upon them.
In November,
the Indan Prime Minister
toured the world
to explain again the gravity
of the situation
In capital after capital,
she pleads the Bengali cause
In London she has asked
what can be done
to stop the refugee accidents
Well surely that the massacre
there stops the rape stops
The burning of villages stop.
Can it not be
fair to put to you
that you are
contributing in a way
to the exodus of
the refugees by
your support of
Pakistan Guerillas.
And mustn't you,
in effect...
face the question of
having to reduce your support
for the Guerilla army which is
operating in East Pakistan.
Well, that means we allow
a massacre to continue?
What happened first?
How many people
were killed according to
your correspondent
of British Newspapers?
Of American Newspapers?
Of French Newspapers?
Canadian Newspapers,
Arabian Newspapers.
The massacre began long before
there was a single Guerilla.
But if the contribution
to quietening
of the situation
as I say--
No, what does quietening mean?
Does it mean
that we allow,
we support the genocide?
And do you think
it can be stopped?
Do you think people are
going to sit aside
and watch their women
raped in front of them?
And say that, no, we are going
to quieten the situation.
That's not quietness.
That is the worst possible
type of war
It is the worst
possible type of violence.
But how then without
something done to control
the Guerilla activity
in return for
greater discipline
by the Pakistan Army
can we secure this first step?
When Hitler was on the rampage
why didn't you say
let's keep quiet
let's have peace with Germany
and let the Jews die or
let Belgium die, let France die!
Would you say that was quiet?
- Joi Bangla!
- Joi Bangla!
- Joi Bangla!
- Joi Bangla!
- Joi Bangla!

But why Joi Bangla?
Why not Joi Bengali ?
Speak up.
Bengali is our language,
Islam is our religion.
But Bangladesh
is our everything!
Joi Bangla!
Joi Bangla!
Joi Bangla!
And that is why,
I am first a Bangladeshi,...
then Bengali
and then a Muslim
- Joi Bangla!
- Joi Bangla!
This may be my final message.
From this day onwards...
Bangladesh is independent!
I call upon the people
of Bangladesh!
Wherever you might be
and with whatever you have
to resist the army of
occupation till the last.
Your struggle must go on
until the last soldier
of the Pakistani occupation
army is expelled
fro in the so of
Bangladesh
Final victory is ours
Joi Bangla!
From this day onwards
Bangladesh is independent!
I call upon
the people of Bangladesh...
How many times are you
going to listen to it?
Just a little while longer.
I am almost done.
Please play it or else
I won't be able to write.
You'll go mad!
See' the boy has already come
to take the article.
Bangladesh...
Wherever you might be...
and with whatever you have...
to resist the army of...
He won't come inside.
Say's he is in a hurry.
Your struggle must go on!
He's coming.
Last night' the president'
the Pakistani army..
The 'bindi'
really suits you'...
now you can listen to
whatever you like.
Here.
- Go quickly.
- Yes.
Were you expecting someone?
No.
Let me check.
Don't go.
Ok go!
These people forced me to...
It's so noisy in here.
Turn on the lights.
Now we can talk in peace.
Thank you.
