The story behind origin of ISRO

  The story of the origin of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is an inspiring tale of determination, vision, and perseverance. ISRO's journey began in the early 1960s when India was still a newly independent nation. In 1962, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, a visionary scientist and industrialist, established the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR). Its primary objective was to develop space technology for national development and to harness the benefits of space science for the country.

Liberation of Bangladesh, 1971

  The Liberation War of Bangladesh, also known as the Bangladesh Liberation War, was a nine-month-long armed conflict that took place between the government of Pakistan and the Bengali nationalist forces in East Pakistan, which later became the independent nation of Bangladesh. The war resulted in the independence of Bangladesh on December 16, 1971, and is considered one of the most significant events in South Asian history. Background: The political history of East Pakistan had been fraught with tensions and struggles since the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

The East Pakistanis were also subjected to cultural and linguistic suppression, as the West Pakistani government sought to impose the Urdu language and Islamic identity on the country.
