You have defined spirit of 71 very well.

Much of the talk of the spirit of the fight for the freedom of Bangladesh in 1971 has been filled with dishonesty and irrationality. This article is no exception to that. The honest truth is that the Bangalee struggles of 1947 to March of 1971 were for linguistic, economic and political justice within the framework of Pakistan, not for an independent country. The pre-1971 sporadic slogan of "Tomar Desh, Amar Desh, Bangladesh, Bangladesh" was necessarily due to frustration with the ruling elite who were mostly based in West Pakistan. If the ruling military dictators handed over power to the people's representatives in 1971, there would be no Bangladesh. The real spirit of the liberation fight of 1971 was "seeking human dignity" in the face of an extreme brutalization of the Bangalees by the Pakistani military. Seeking human dignity is honorable. Let us put that honor in the minds of our next generations, and let us encourage them to expand on the sense of justice. Let us not continue the dishonest jargons.
The above are my comments on the following article:
