A dark shroud has quite recently appeared over the historical backdrop of humanity. It was the evening of March 25, 1971. The thunder of tanks ended the quietness of the evening. A great many individuals in Bangladesh, then a region of Pakistan, woke up not to the trilling of birds but rather to the crashing hints of bombs and slugs. That was the opening shot of perhaps the greatest decimation, drove by then General Yahya Khan of Pakistan, in world history.
All as the day progressed, heads of the Awami League hung tight for the call General SGMM Peerzada had vowed to make with respect to the previous' proposition on a sacred settlement from the system. The call won't ever come.
Over the course of the evening, Pakistani armed force officials helicoptered across the region, flagging all military developments that they ought to be on backup for the inevitable military tasks to start.
Before long as sunset fell, tales about an unavoidable military activity against the system started to flourish. Party partners and numerous others hurried to see Bangabandhu at his 32 Dhanmondi home. As far as it matters for him, the pioneer encouraged them to leave the city. In any case, he clarified that he planned to remain, saying that, assuming he did, the military would destroy Dhaka to the grounds.
In a mysterious way, President Yahya Khan loaded up a Pakistani International Airlines trip in the evening at around 7:30 and took more time for Karachi. Every one of the game plans for what might notoriously become known as "Activity Searchlight" were finished. Prior to venturing into the flight, the military central leadership was told to begin tasks against the Bangalees, yet solely after their leader had arrived in Karachi. General Tikka Khan, then military regulation director of East Pakistan, gave the message to Maj Gen Khadem Hossain Raja.
"Khadem, it's this evening," said Tikka, showing the principal indication of a looming military attack on Bangalees.
Over a time of ten days, the system expanded the quantity of armed force, ammo and labor were assembled too. Every one of these were done on the appearance of arrangements with Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur Rahman on the issue of an exchange of capacity to the chosen delegates of individuals. Their definitive goal was a squashing of Banglaee patriotism.
Understudies of Dhaka University and residents, as a general rule, set up blockades in various pieces of the city to impede the developments of the troopers. Nobody, by then, could imagine the size of the savagery with which the military intended to strike.
Between 11:00 p.m. what's more, 11:30 p.m., the Pakistan armed force emerges to jump on individuals of Bangladesh. Various units of the military walked in the city in different headings. At the dead of the evening, tanks, reinforced vehicles and trucks stacked with officers ended the quiet of the evening and set out toward Dhaka University, the Central Shaheed Minar, the Race Course (where the Kali Mandir was arranged), Hotel Intercontinental and Old Dhaka.
One more advanced toward Dhanmondi. The unmistakable goal was to arrest Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur Rahman.
Different units started obliterating the Kali Mandir in the focal point of the Race Course and the Central Shaheed Minar. Troops likewise went for catching various senior Awami League pioneers, practically every one of whom got away from catch.
Contingents likewise went to the Rajarbagh police base camp and the East Pakistan Rifles in Pilkhana.
The Pakistan armed force killed great many individuals in Dhaka. The mercilessness was extraordinary as scholastics, understudies, police officers, East Pakistan Rifles staff and dozing cart pullers were put to the firearm and the blade. The savagery with which the Shaheed Minar and the Kali Mandir were annihilated in the early long stretches of what was to be a decimation throughout the following nine months has seldom been matched in the archives of current history. Famous scholastics, among whom were the respected GC Dev and the researcher Jyotirmoy Guhathakurta, were shot. Understudies of Dhaka University were arranged, shot and afterward unloaded into hurriedly dug mass graves.
Bangabandhu was captured by the Pakistan armed force and taken to what was then an under-development public get together structure in the Second Capital region (the present Sher-e-Bangla Nagar). He was then moved to Adamjee College in the cantonment, where he was saved for the evening, and later moved to Flagstaff House. After three days, he was traveled to West Pakistan and put in isolation in Mianwali prison.

Dread was writ huge the nation over.
