Sheikh Mujeebur Rehman was imprisoned in 1970 in Lyallpur, a city of Punjab in West Pakistan which has been renamed Faisalabad. He was represented by the country's most famous and respected lawyer Mr A K Brohi who was assisted by a prominent Lyallpur lawyer, Khawaja Ghulam Hussain. Sheikh Mujib ur Rehman, in his conversations with Mr A K Brohi and Khawaja Ghulam Hussain vehemently denied the accusation that he wanted to partition the country. He was most emphatic that he had only wanted a better representation for East Pakistan in the country's politics and was not at all interested in creating a new country. He had asked both his lawyers to be put in touch with the military, particularly General Yahya Khan. He particularly asked to be taken to be interviewed by the Pakistani press and radio so that he could reveal that his true intentions were never to divide the country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.110.205.96 ( talk) 17:23, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Please change the word "compromised" in the second sentence of the second paragraph to "comprised". Comprise means to consist of whereas compromise means to settle which does not make sense in this sentence. The author, I think, meant to say that the majority of the state's population consisted of Bengalis and thereby, use "comprised". It is very likely an error in input, but if the author meant to write "compromised", it has a very negative connotation. Ultimatepro1 ( talk) 22:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
The article is rife with blatant and unsupported judgments on the tenor and value of Mujib's rule. This is far from a useful Wikipedia article.
Hi,
I think the Urdu name should be there because he was an important person in the history of Pakistan. Let's look at another article, like Muhammad Ali Pasha. It gives the native Albanian plus the Turkish and Arabic.
Ficusindica ( talk) 14:31, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
@ Ficusindica, It is highly inappropriate to use his Urdu name. He was a Bengali nationalist leader and founding father of Bangladesh. This is what was his main identy. Urdu was not his native language. If you say that he was a important person in Pakistan's history then let me clear many foreigners are important in Pakistan's history (example: Lord Louis Mountbatten). But that doesn't mean that writing there name in Urdu is required. Ominictionary ( talk)
@ Ficusindica, Thank for replying and I apology if my word sound bias. But again Urdu is not necessary because he was not a national level politian in Pakistan he was a regional leader who wanted independence for his nation.− You can hold the article of Mamata Banerjee as an example. There wikipedia has only uses her native name. Despite being Indian, there is no use of Hindi. Ominictionary ( talk)
@But there is a simple point Ficusindica that his Urdu name is not notable. He is not known as a Pakistani polititian. Please accept that this change fails WP:GNG. Ominictionary ( talk)
@Thanks for replying Ficusindica. But he is not notable as Pakistani politian. You tell me, how many Pakistani know him as a polititian. Officialy Pakistan goverment have very negative view on Mujib. (eg: Pakistan envoy in Dhaka summoned for distorting history, apology sought) Neither Pakistan ever regard as a leader nor Bengals have ever recognize Pakistan's culture and I am really not getting why its so important to add his Urdu name. Ominictionary ( talk)
@But I had asked all a question that how do you know as Mujib?? What is his main identy?? And again when he died, he died as a Bangladeshi president and polititian. He was not died Pakistani polititian. At last he was not pakistani. His native language was not Urdu. Its completely unnecessary. Ominictionary ( talk) 16:53, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Never . I boldly protest against the using of Urdu name in this article . The reasons are :- 1. Pakistan and Bangladesh were rivals during the liberation war of Bangladesh . After the ending of the war Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the most respected person in Bangladeshi history . So , if Urdu name is used in this article , it would be offencive for Bangladeshi people. 2. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman , even though was voted to be the president of combined Pakistan, he was not able to become the president due to conspiracy . This was one of the reasons why the liberation war of Bangladesh began. So , he was not a notable person in the history of Pakistan. Wholecube ( talk) 17:00, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi , Ficusindica . You said that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was an important person in the history of Pakistan . But his name is not even mentioned in the article , History of Pakistan . So he is not an important person in the history of Pakistan . Wholecube ( talk) 17:05, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
@ Plz show me one verified article or a book, anything reliable which portray him as a Pakistani polititian or a Pakistani person. Then I will accept your arguement. I am not sounding any bias here and I am confident about it. Whatever I am saying is based on critical thinking. I am the one who had gave the article reference about corruption and mismaintence of Mujib goverment, I am the one who gave the information of Mujib's negative portrayal in The Black Coat. If I am so biased and so pro Mujib then tell me why I did this. I am debating about something which I beleive unnecessary, but that doesn't give anyone right of accusing me for being bias. Ominictionary ( talk) 17:09, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Ominictionary, I am not accusing you of bias. I think people and even politicians think often think in a biased fashion. For example, Wholecube says something will be offensive for Bangladeshis, so it should not be in Wikipedia. This should not affect the information that is provided in Wikipedia of course. As to his notably as a politician in Pakistan, isn't he important because he divided Pakistan. The Urdu article in Wikipedia has less information after only English and Bengali. I am losing interest somewhat and I don't know how much I want to argue. But anyway, I'm not accusing you. Thanks. Ficusindica ( talk) 20:22, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

User
Ominictionary has insisted
[1] that a correct phonetic transcription be used for the title of "Jatir Pita" for Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, particularly a transcription based on the International Phonetic Alphabet. I,
Ficusindica have insisted that the conventional method of transcribing Bengali on Wikipedia be used. The information on this conventional method of transcription has been on the article on Romanization of Bengali
[2] but has since been removed under alligation of original research but is frequently used on Wikipedia (see
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,
Prime Minister of Bangladesh or the
Jatiya Sangsad). A lengthy use of this system can be found in a transcription of Jana Gana Mana from
20 July 2015 to
5 September 2016.
My opinion is that we use this particular method of phonetic transcription, thus transcribing "Jatir Pita" as Jatir Pita based on the system and the pronunciation in Bengali.

Many important laws passed under the presidents or prime ministers are considered to show the significance and achievements of an administration. While there are many blanket statements, saying Indian control of economy began and counterfeit scandals increase; nothing wrong with them but where are the statistics to prove them? A book was cited but in that book there are no statistics or figures given about those blanket statements. The laws passed and executive orders signed are the most important things when considering accomplishments of a leader, there are almost none in the entire page. The constitutional amendments passed under his administration are also missing. The many social welfare programs such as food stamps and other programs are not mentioned anywhere on the page.

Hey guys,
I noticed that in some points of this article, we refer to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as "Sheikh Mujib" and at other points as "Mujib". Just offering my two cents here, but I think the former is probably more appropriate than the latter because it recognizes that he is a Sheikh, coming from a Sheikh family, which commands respect.
Which should we go with? Should we refer to him as Sheikh Mujib or Mujib?
Thanks in advance! Historicamatic ( talk) 22:22, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Bengali pronunciation: [ʃekʰ muzibur rɒɦmɑn]; 17 March 1920 – 15 August 1975) was a Bangladeshi statesman who was the president of Awami League from 1966 to 1974. As a Bengali politician, he led his people as their political leader in Pakistan. After the independence of Bangladesh, he became the head of the state and ruled the new nation state from 1971 until his assassination in 1975. [1] Sheikh Mujib, popularly known as Bangabandhu ( lit. 'Friend of Bengal'), referred as the father of the nation by the constitution of Bangladesh. [2]
Born during British India, Mujib emerged as a muslim student activist in Bengal during its final years. He was a disciple of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, another politician in British India, who encouraged him to join the All-India Muslim League. After his activism for the successful creation of the Dominion of Pakistan, he settled to the country. After his dismissal from Muslim League, Mujib joined the newly created Awami League and rose within the ranks of the party as a fiery and charismatic orator. He became popular for his opposition to the ethnic and institutional discrimination of Bengalis in Pakistan, who comprised the majority in the province of East Bengal and the largest ethnic group in Pakistan. He was elected as a member of the legislative assembly and the Agriculture Minister of his province in 1954 and championed Bengali identity in Pakistan's constitution making process between 1955 and 1956. Mujib worked in the insurance industry on the sidelines of politics. At the heightening of tensions between East and West Pakistan, he outlined a six-point autonomy plan. He was often jailed for his protests against the Pakistani government. Mujib led the Awami League to win the first democratic election of Pakistan in 1970. Despite gaining a majority, the League was not invited by the ruling military junta to form a government. As non-cooperation movement erupted across East Pakistan, Mujib edged towards declaring the independence of Bangladesh in a historic speech. On 26 March 1971, Mujib declared Bangladesh's independence after the Pakistan Army responded to the mass protests with Operation Searchlight, in which Prime Minister–elect Mujib was arrested and flown to solitary confinement in West Pakistan, while the Bengali population suffered genocide. A nine-month war was fought in his name, which culminated in Pakistan's surrender on 16 December 1971. Mujib was released from Pakistani custody due to international pressure and returned home on 10 January 1972. The jubilation of Bangladeshis over the war's victory and Mujib's homecoming was tempered by the devastation and challenges faced by the new country.
Sheikh Mujib was a major populist leader of the 20th century. In governance, Mujib's legacies include the constitution of Bangladesh, which was enacted within a year of Bangladesh's liberation; as well as the transformation of East Pakistan's state apparatus, bureaucracy, armed forces, and judiciary into an independent Bengali state. [3] He delivered the first Bengali speech to the UN General Assembly in 1974. Mujib's five year regime was the only socialist period in Bangladesh's history. In 1975, Mujib installed a one party state which lasted for seven months until his assassination. His legacy remains divisive among Bangladeshis due to economic mismanagement, the Bangladesh famine of 1974, human rights violations, and authoritarianism. Most Bangladeshis credit him for leading the country to independence in 1971. Many within and outside Bangladesh call him Bangabandhu out of respect. In a 2004 BBC opinion poll, Mujib was voted as the Greatest Bengali of all time and ranked first on the list followed by Rabindranath Tagore (2nd) and Kazi Nazrul Islam (3rd). [4]

@ Solomon The Magnifico: Well I found sources that states Mujib left Kolkata after partition. this source states that Mujib was in Kolkata after the partition of India. this source states that he admitted in Dhaka University in September, 1947. Jaijaidin states that he returned to East Bengal after partition. Banglapedia states that he admitted to Dhaka University after partition. His book The Unfinished Memoirs states that he was in Kolkata during Eid-ul-Fitr (around 18 August) and came to Dhaka in September after a few days of vacation in Tungipara. So it is safe to think that Bangabandhu lived in Kolkata after partition and before September, 1947. Mehedi Abedin 06:08, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
A few points to consider:
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Bengali pronunciation: [ʃekʰ muzibur rɒɦmɑn]; 17 March 1920 – 15 August 1975) was a Bangladeshi statesman who is referred as the father of the nation by fifth, sixth, and seventh schedules of the constitution of Bangladesh. [1] Sheikh Mujib, popularly known as Bangabandhu ( lit. 'Friend of Bengal'), was the president of Awami League from 1966 to 1974. As a Bengali politician, he led his people as their political leader in Pakistan. After the independence of Bangladesh, he was the head of the state from 10 April 1971 to 12 January 1972. After the liberation of Bangladesh, he ruled the new nation state as the head of the government from 12 January 1972 to 24 January 1975. After his premiership, he became the President of the country again and ruled until his assassination in 1975. [2] In a 2004 BBC opinion poll, Mujib was voted as the Greatest Bengali of all time and ranked first on the list followed by Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam. [3]
