Joy Bangla 7th March Concert

“Since we have given blood, we will give more of it. Insha’Allah, we will free the people of this land. The struggle this time is for emancipation. The struggle this time is for independence. – Joy Bangla!”
This 7th March historic speech of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman gives us reason to believe in ourselves again and again. 7th march is a day of immense significance in the history of Bangladesh. Because that time for a subservient nation two words ‘Joy Bangla’ made them understand the fruit of independence. ‘Joy Bangla’ is actually the first declaration of independence of Bangladesh. To revive the spirit of ‘Joy Bangla’ this year 7th march, 2015, ‘Joy Bangla Concert’ was presented by Young Bangla at the Army Stadium in Dhaka.
