    operations had been being taken under 'Operation Searchlight' on and
    from 11-30 pm of 25 March to center of May in all of the massive cities
    of the province. the deliberate killing of a launched number of people
    from a particular nation or ethnic group with the intention of destroying
    that nation or group.The ruthless and brutal armed operation The
    purpose of this operation was to arrest or kill the distinguished Awami
    League leaders, student leaders and Bangali intellectuals in the main
    cities of the then East Pakistan including Dhaka, to disarm the Bangali
    personnels of military, para military and police forces and to capture
    armoury, radio station and telephone exchange, thereby to take over the
    control of the province of East Pakistan by ruthlessly curbing the non-
    cooperation movement headed by Bangabandhu sheikh mujibur rahman.
    Military operations were being taken under 'Operation Searchlight' on
    and from 11-30 pm of 25 March to middle of May in all the big. The
    Pakistani infantrymen got here out of the cantonment at 11-30 pm,
    released indiscriminate assault at the demonstrating Bangalis withinside
    the Farm Gate area, and consequently initiated the Operation
    Searchlight. Then as in line with agenda they released simultaneous
    assault on Peelkhana and Rajarbagh. At 1-30 am they arrested

    very month of March beneathneath the 'Operation Searchlight' having
    their submit on the cantonment. The places of work of the dailies just
    like the Ittefaq, Sangbad and the Peoples had been set on hearthplace for
    his or her guide to the motion of the Bangalis. A top variety of
    journalists, media personnels have been burnt to death. The correct
    determine of casualty beneathneath the operation searchlight at the night
    time of 25 March couldn't be estimated. The overseas newshounds had
    been forced to go away the u . s . a . earlier than the operation of 25
    March. Because of sturdy censorship at the newspapers at domestic not
    anything giant can be collected approximately the operation. From the
    record of 3 overseas newshounds, Arnold Jetline, Michael Laurent and
    Simon Dring, who remained in hiding at a risk, a few information may
    be accumulated approximately the ruthless brutality of that fateful night
    time. From the file of Simon Dring posted beneathneath the caption
    Dateline Dacca withinside the Daily Telegraph of 29 March it became
    discovered that two hundred college students of Iqbal Hall, instructors
    and their own circle of relatives individuals numbering 12 withinside the
    University residential place have been killed on that night time. In
    antique Dhaka seven hundred human beings have been burnt to death.
    Information amassed from diverse domestic and overseas reassets screen
    that on that fateful night time seven thousand Bangalis had been killed in
    Dhaka metropolis itself. Yes I have watched a documentary film “STOP
    GENOCIDE”by JAHIR RAIHAN ,the documentary shows the the
    situation of 1971 genocide by the Pakistani military in East
    Pakistan .because the film documentary film shows how Pakistani
    military killed the innocent people of Banglasesh.So its totally related
    with the situation.

    7. Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra (Bengali: স্বাধীন বাংলা বেতার কেন্দ্র, lit.
    'Free Bengal Radio Centre') was the radio broadcasting centre of Bengali
    nationalist forces during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. This
    station played a vital role in liberation struggle, broadcasting the
    Declaration of Independence and increasing mental state of
    Bangladeshis during the war. In 1971, radio was the only media reaching
    to the far ends of Bangladesh. It ran a propaganda campaign through the
    war. Mr Sufi barkat-e-khoda was one of the artist in this show.(Source
    Wikipedia)Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra played a vital role in 1971 war
    of liberation because it broad casts the declaration of the Independence
    and increased mental state of Bangladeshi peoples during the liberation
    war in 1971 it also courages people to participate the the war of
    liberation without any fear .There was many kinds of shows but the best
    show was reciting the Charampatra .
    Charampatra, a popular monologue rich in sarcasm and bravery was a
    wonderful programme composed and hosted by M. R. Akhtar Mukul.
    The ultimate target of this show was to represent the complex and
    critical political situation and military tactics in a simple and satirical
    tone. The best thing about his oratory was that general Bengalis can
    relate to this because of using the typical dialect of old Dhaka.
    Charampatra portrayed a fearless Bengali youth who had no proper
    education but had the potential to fight against the enemies.

    Every episode of Charampatra glorified the strength and bravery of our


    freedom fighters and mock the Pakistani army in a humorous approach
    to keeping the spirit of youths charged. The voice of Mukul became the
    source of entertainment as well as inspiration in the dark time of the
    liberation war.(The Daily Star). However there are also many other
    kinds of shows as Jallader Darbar,Songs of Inspiration and freedom to
    inspire the benfali people to participate in war of 1971The Concert for
    Bangladesh is a live triple album credited to "George Harrison &
    Friends" and released on Apple Records in December 1971 in America
    and January 1972 in Britain.( Wikipedia.)
