To honour the heroic sacrifices made during the Liberation War of 1971, India and Bangladesh invite each other’s War Veterans and serving officers to participate in their respective Victory Day celebrations. This strengthens the bond of friendship between the two nations while commemorating the shared history of their armed forces.
On the 53rd anniversary of the Liberation War, eight distinguished Muktijoddhas (freedom fighters) and two serving officers of the Bangladesh Armed Forces have reached India to participate in the Vijay Diwas celebrations in Kolkata. In parallel, eight Indian War Veterans and two serving officers of the Indian Armed Forces have arrived in Dhaka to take part in Bangladesh’s Victory Day celebrations.
These bilateral visits provide a significant platform for Muktijoddhas from Bangladesh and Indian War Veterans to come together, reflecting on the historic sacrifices that led to Bangladesh’s freedom from occupation, oppression and mass atrocities. The ongoing exchanges celebrate the unique friendship between India and Bangladesh and renew the collective memories of the Liberation War, which symbolises the shared commitment and valour of both countries’ armed forces.
This tradition of mutual respect and remembrance underscores the deep-rooted bond of solidarity between India and Bangladesh, reinforcing the values of peace, cooperation and shared history.
