Bangladesh Awami League is the oldest and biggest political party of Bangladesh. It originated in the soil of  the country and evolved with the evolving hopes and aspirations of the people living on the Padma- Meghna-  Jamuna delta. It is the party that gave leadership in the glorious Liberation War. Awami league is one of  those political parties in the world under whose leadership struggles were led and won, tearing apart the  chains of domination and servitude. Awami League represents the mainstream of the progressive, non-communal,  democratic and nationalist politics of Bangladesh.

This half-a-century- old party has a glorious of relentless and uncompromising struggle against autocracy and  communalism, against political and economic domination. Its greatest achievement is the emancipation of the  Bangalee people from the colonial rule of Pakistan. This was the party that both germinated and helped  blossom the Bangalee nationalism: the independence won in 1971 is the undying monument of that grand success  of Awami League as a political party. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, our Father of the Nation, gave the  leadership to the people and the party that took us through the glorious War of Liberation. Since then, the  party has worked tirelessly to combat autocracy and communalism, to nourish the non communal political  tradition and to institutionalize democracy through establishing a constitutionally elected government.

Therefore, as a political party, Awami League can claim to have attained success in the overall development  of the political history of the country, particularly in the process of building a nation-state for the  Bangalee people. It is continuing in its role as the people- oriented political party with progressive and  pragmatic political, social and economic agenda for the betterment of the lot of the toiling masses of the  country.

We plan to elaborate on some of the glaring successes of Awami League in its long history of struggle over  the last fifty years.
