(3) Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his historic speech on 7 March 1971 at the Racecourse Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan) in Dhaka, before a huge gathering. It strongly motivated the people of Bangladesh towards independence in the following ways.

1. Clear call for freedom: He declared, 'The struggle this time is the struggle for our emancipation; the struggle this time is the struggle for our independence.' This united people behind the goal of freedom.
2. Instructions for resistance: He asked people to turn every house into a fortress, to resist with whatever they had, and to continue the non-cooperation movement. This prepared people for a long struggle.
3. Expression of injustice: He recalled the long history of exploitation and killing of Bengalis by the West Pakistani rulers, which stirred people's anger and unity.
4. Inspiring words: His simple but powerful language, and the closing slogan 'Joy Bangla', filled the people with courage.

The speech effectively became a declaration of independence in spirit, and it guided the nation during the Liberation War.
