National Revolution and Solidarity Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Bangladesh, November 7 is celebrated as the National Revolution and Solidarity Day. This commemorates the 1975 uprising formed by people and soldiers. The uprising, led by Colonel Abu Taher, ended the three day coup organised by General Khaled Mosharraf. It also helped put General Ziaur Rahman, founder of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, in power.

November 7 is a national holiday in Bangladesh.
