		THE assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was masterminded by a small group of conspirators who were opposed to the values that underlay the Bangladesh liberation struggle, which Bangabandhu lived and fought for.
		Mujibur Rahman was arrested by the Pakistani Army that night and whisked away to a jail in West Pakistan.
		In contrast, the regimes of Gen. Ziaur Rahman and Gen. H.M. Ershad had hurriedly framed charges against a large number of Army officers who had taken part in the liberation war; after in-camera trials in military courts in different cantonments of the country, the accused were executed in the darkness of the night.

		Mujibur Rahman was brutally murdered along with 26 others, including his wife, three sons (one of them was just 10 years old), two daughters-in-law, brother, close relatives, political associates and security men in a pre-dawn attack on August 15, 1975.
		Mujibur Rahman was assassinated three and a half years after he led East Pakistan to independence from West Pakistan through a bloody war of liberation, which was in effect a firm rejection of the "Two-Nation Theory" of Mohammad Ali Jinnah (this theory led to the Partition of India in 1947).
		Whatever the ultimate outcome, the trail of Mujibur Rahman's killers and the death sentence awarded to them by a court of law is a victory for pro-liberation Bangladesh.

		The borders of Bangladesh were set by the Partition of India in 1947, when it became the eastern wing of Pakistan (East Pakistan), separated from the western wing by 1,600 km (1,000 miles).
		Despite their common religion of Islam, the ethnic and linguistic gulf between the two wings, compounded by an apathetic government based in West Pakistan, resulted in the independence of Bangladesh under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1971 after the bloody Bangladesh Liberation War, in which it was supported by India.
		It agitated for autonomy in the 1960s, and in 1966, its president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was jailed; he was released in 1969 after an unprecedented popular uprising.

		This confirms what we already knew: that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman wanted to reach some kind of an accomodation with Pakistan, but certain political and military elements (fueled by anti-Bengalee sentiment and a fuedal mindset) within the government were steadfastly opposed.
		All Mujibur Rahman wanted was to be Prime Minister of a united Pakistan, a position he rightfully deserved; instead, he became a Prime Minister of newly-minted Bangladesh.
		I don't think it diminishes Mujibur Rahman's status at all since it was understood that he wanted a confederation from the start.
