History
In December 1971, Bangladesh won independence from Pakistan after nine months of war.
Dr Kamal Hossain, a leading political figure, was jailed during the conflict and only released shortly after the Bengali fighters claimed victory.
Dr Hossain told Farhana Haider his feelings as his country won its freedom.
