Many countries of the world have their Republic Days . Some of these are unique in the sense that they are neither the Independence Day nor the Constitution Day. Some countries observe the day on their Independence Day while some on the day of the first functioning of the newly formed constitution of their state. The Republic Days observed in Italy (June 2, 1946), Iraq (July 14, 1958), the Islamic Republic of Iran (April 1, 1979), and Nepal (May 28, 2008) mark occasions when the concerned republic was first established as a sovereign state (Italy), left monarchism (Iraq), developed as an Islamic Republic (Iran) or reformed as a truly democratic state (Nepal). Countries like India and Pakistan observe their Republic Day on the day of the coming-into-effect of their first constitutions.

Following the sudden postponement of the inaugural session of the Constituent Assembly on 1st March 1971, Bangabandhu gave a massively successful call for non-cooperation with the Pakistan government. His historic speech on March 7 at the Race Course Maidan to a mammoth crowd sent a red signal to the ruling clique of Pakistan.
This skilfully worded speech by Bangabandhu was nothing short of declaring independence for Bangladesh. President Yahya Khan rushed to Dhaka on March 15 with several advisers, both civil and military, apparently to negotiate with Bangabandhu and his team to calm down the situation which was going out of their control.
