After the curfew was lifted on March 27, 1971, people started fleeing from Dhaka to the rural areas and many crossed the border to save their lives. The most vulnerable groups who were targeted by the Pakistani occupation army included religious minorities, liberal intellectuals who supported the cause of freedom, the leaders and supporters of Awami League and other progressive parties. The youths in general who were thought to be potential freedom fighters were, of course, in the first line of suspects. Millions took refuge in India following the gruesome genocide initiated on the night of 25th March. This continued for months as the occupation army spread out to all parts of the country. The local collaborators also paved the way for the Pakistani occupation army, who were not so familiar with the roads and communities in Bangladesh.

Anyone who studies the antecedents of Lahore will certainly be aware of its significance through the moving chronicles of time. And what Bangabandhu was doing - and he was doing it three years before he transitioned from Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to Bangabandhu and five years before he led his people to freedom - was informing the world of the new dimension which had come into his politics.
