Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Bengali: ; 17 March 1920 to August 1975) often shortened to Sheikh Mujib or Mujib; while later becoming Bangladesh's Prime Minister from 1971 to his assassination in August 1975. Mujib is credited with launching the success of Bangladesh's emancipation from Pakistan. He is regarded in Bangladesh with the prestigious name "Bangabandhu" (Bôngobondhu, "Friend of Bengal"), which is used around the world. He was a founding member and eventual leader of the Awami League, which was established in 1949 as an East Pakistan-based political party in Pakistan. Mujib is considered a central figure in the attempts to gain political control in East Pakistan and later as the central figure behind the Bangladesh Liberation Movement and the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. He is also known as the "Jatir Janak" or "Jatir Pita" of Bangladesh (Jatir Jônok or Jatir Pita), implying "Father of the Nation" or "Jatir Pita). Sheikh Hasina's mother, Sheikh Hasina, is the current head of the Awami League and currently serves as Bangladesh's Prime Minister.

Mujib, the first promoter of democracy and socialism, soared to the top of the Awami League and East Pakistani politics as a charismatic and forceful orator. He became known for his opposition to Bengalis in Pakistan's racial and institutional discrimination, which made up the majority of the state's population. He outlined a six-point autonomy scheme and was jailed by Field Marshal Ayub Khan's regime for treason at the height of sectional tensions. In 1970, Mujib led the Awami League to win the country's first democratic election. Despite winning a majority, the League was not permitted by the junta to form a government. During a historic address on March 7, 1971, civil disobedience erupted across East Pakistan, Mujib indirectly announced Bangladesh's independence. The Pakistani Army responded to widespread demonstrations in West Pakistan by Operation Searchlight, in which Prime Minister-elect Mujib was arrested and flown to solitary confinement, while Bengali civilians, researchers, economists, politicians, and military defectors were killed as a result of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide. During Mjib's absence, many Bengalis joined the Mukti Bahini and later, with support from the Indian Armed Forces, defeated the Pakistan Armed Forces during the Bangladesh Liberation War. After Bangladesh's unrest, Mujib was released from Pakistani detention due to international pressure and returned to Dhaka in January 1972 after a short visit to Britain and India.

Under a new country's parliamentary system, Mujib became Bangladesh's Prime Minister. He charged the provisional parliament with writing a new constitution outlining the four main principles of "nationalism, secularism, democracy, and socialism," which echo his political convictions collectively known as Mujibism. In 1973, the Awami League secured a huge mandate in the country's first general election. Nevertheless, Mujib faced problems with rampant unemployment, poverty, and corruption, as well as the 1974 Bangladesh famine. The government was chastised for refusing constitutional protection to indigenous minorities and human rights abuses by its security forces, including the National Defence Force or Jatiya Rakkhi Bahini paramilitary. Mujib was the founder of a one-party socialist government in January 1975, despite growing political uproar. During a coup, renegade army officers assassinated him and the majority of his family. A martial law government was subsequently established. Mujib was named the Greatest Bengali of all time in a 2004 BBC poll.

Early life and education

Mujib was born in Tungipara, a village in Bengal's province of Bengal, to Sheikh Lutfur Rahman, a serestadar (court clerk) of Gopalganj's provincial court, and his wife Sheikh Sayera Khatun. He was born in a Bengali Muslim family as the third child in a family of four daughters and two sons. His parents used to affectionately refer to him as "Khoka."

Mujib was admitted to class three at Gopalganj Public School in 1929, and two years later, class four at Madaripur Islamia High School was introduced. Mujib demonstrated a lot of promise in leadership from an early age. In a recent interview, his parents recalled that he orchestrated a student protest in his school for the dismissal of an inept principal. Mujib went from school in 1934 to eye surgery, and returned to school only after four years, due to the severity of the accident and slow recovery.

Later in life, he graduated from Gopalganj Missionary School in 1942, Intermediate of Arts from Islamia College (now Maulana Azad College) in 1944 and a bachelor degree from the same institution in 1947. After the partition of India, he was admitted to study at the University of Dhaka, but he did not finish the program because he was suspended from the university in early 1949 on suspicion of 'inciting the fourth-class students' in a protest against the university's refusal to submit their legitimate claims. The dismissal was unjustified and undemocratic after 61 years in 2010.

Personal life, family, and relatives

Mujibur was 13 years old when he married Fazilatunnesa, a girl who was only three years old and had just lost her parents, so Sheikh Abdul Hamid, her (and Mujibur's) grandfather, had ordered his son Sheikh Lutfar Rahman to marry his son Mujibur to her. It was 9 years ago, in 1942, when Mujibur was 22 years old and Begum Fazilatunnesa was 12 years old, that the marriage was consummated. Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana's children, as well as three sons, Sheikh Jamal, Sheikh Jamal, and Sheikh Rasel were among the four children's siblings. Kamal was an initiator of the Mukti Bahini resistance movement in 1971 and was given a wartime commission in the Bangladesh Army during the Liberation War. He was supposed to be Mujibur's successor. Jamal was educated at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom and later joined the Bangladesh Army as a Commissioned Officer. During the Bangladesh Liberation War until December 17, Sheikh Kamal and Jamal found the means to escape and cross over to a liberated zone, where they began the resistance to free the country. Almost the entire Sheikh family was assassinated on August 15, 1975, during a military coup d'état. Only Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, who were in West Germany, survived. Mujibur is the maternal grandfather of British-born Labour politician and member of parliament for Hampstead and Kilburn since the 2015 UK general election. Sheikh Helal, Sheikh Selim, Sheikh Jewel, Sheikh Jewel, and Abul Hasanat Abdullah are among Bangladesh's parliament members. Sheikh Taposh, Nixon Chowdhury, Liton Chowdhury, Andaleev Partho, Andaleeve Rahman Partho, Serniabat Sadiq Abdullah, and Sheikh Parash are among Bangladeshi politicians. Dipu Moni, his grandniece, is Bangladesh's former Foreign Minister.
