An Analysis of the Six-Point Movement 
Tanjil Ahmed 

The Bengalis were not liberated even after 190 years of British rule (1757-1947) and exploitation after the death of Sirajuddaula, the last independent Nawab of Bengal. In 1947, after the emergence of Pakistan, a new chapter of exploitation, torture, and oppression began on us. Pakistan continues the oppression, exploitation, and injustice in all fields including language, economy, industry, education, health, agriculture, law, etc. (Professor, Professor, & Proddot, 2014).

 

But Bengali is a nation of heroes and never learned to bow to injustice. It was as if the Awami Muslim League, i.e the Awami League, and innumerable brave leaders and activists, including Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the nation, appeared in Bengal to give a real form to that consciousness (Rahman, 2017).

 

The charismatic leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who led from the outset to end the exploitation and oppression of West Pakistan and was imprisoned for 4675 days at different times for demanding the release of Bengalis (Staff, 2017).

 

In 1966, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, in consultation with the Bengali CSP officers, prepared the ‘Six-Point Charter’ for the Liberation of Bengal and Bengalis to bring Bangladesh forward politically. When the National Conference of Anti-Ayub Political Parties began on 5 February 1966, Maulana Bhasani and other political leaders withdrew themselves. But Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman joined the conference to raise a ‘Six-Point Demands’ as the Bengali Charter of Liberation like a hero (Moni, 2018). 

 

After raising the six-point demands, Pakistani leaders were frightened to realize the flag of independent and sovereign Bengal. Because the Six-Point formula later took the form of independence.

 

Analyzing the historic ‘Six-Point Formula or Demand’ it can be seen that the six-point had a very significant impact on the heroic struggle of Bangladesh.

 

The first phase of ‘Six-Point Formula’ claimed that the constitution was formulated based on the Lahore resolution to make Pakistan a true federation and there was talk of universal suffrage through the direct adult vote and the sovereignty of laws (Moni, 2018). Initially, it was the first step towards the liberation of Bengal and Bengalis where Sheikh Mujibur Rahman indirectly raised the issue of democracy and the rule of law. Analysis of the administrative image of West Pakistan in 1966 shows that we had 35% access to law enforcement and 22.7% access to the Ministry of Home Affairs, which was less than the actual solicitation (Professor & Dr., 2015). Read more
