The 'Mukti Bahini' which directly translates to ‘Freedom Fighters’ or 'Freedom Army' was the guerrilla resistance movement consisting of civilians and uniformed personnel who were earlier serving in Pakistani armed forces and para-military forces but deserted to fight for and save the honour of their motherland. The 'Mukti Bahini' was organized in two distinct groups — the Niyomito Bahini (regular army) and the Gano Bahini (the people’s army). Their leadership, sacrifices and gallantry were the major factors that drove Pakistani armed forces away. The 'Mukti Bahini' exemplified how courage and determination with righteous intentions always emerge victorious. The sacrifices made by the 'Mukti Bahini' are written in golden words in the history of Bangladesh and will be remembered by India and Bangladesh forever.
