The state of Pakistan was born on the basis of the Lahore resolution of 1940. The resolution recognizes the granting of autonomy to the states of Pakistan. But after the establishment of Pakistan, the West Pakistani ruling class continued to exploit the East Pakistan province by not providing local autonomy but by establishing internal colonies. As a result, after the establishment of Pakistan, the East Pakistani people started a movement demanding autonomy. Both men and women take part in these movements. One such movement was the mass uprising of 1969. Men as well as women participate in this movement and are able to achieve success in the movement. Therefore, the article presents the participation of Bengali women in the 1969 mass uprising against the military rule of General Ayub.
