The article from MSN discusses a significant historical revision in Bangladesh where the government has officially recognized Ziaur Rahman, rather than Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, as the person who declared Bangladesh's independence. This change stems from a long-standing debate about who made the initial declaration during the 1971 Liberation War.
