Bangladesh Drops ‘Father of the Nation’ Title for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman:
Bangladesh’s interim government led by Prof. Mohammed Yunus has officially dropped the title of ‘Father of the Nation’ for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in a revised version of the Liberation War Act, issued on June 3, 2025. This revision, coupled with the earlier release of new currency notes excluding Mujib’s image, marks a historic shift in the country’s political and symbolic landscape. The changes reflect the interim government’s efforts to reframe the narrative around the 1971 Liberation War, stirring debate over identity, legacy, and national recognition.
