How 'Concert For Bangladesh' changed the civilized world's
impression:

The world got some shocking news in spring 1970, The Beatles had broken up. But from this band, Harrison and Ringo Starr performed together at 1 August, 1971 in Madison Square. This increased the people's attention more. George Harrison and Ravi Sanker were able to pull together an amazing group of people Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr also. Audience excitement didn't know the bound. cause one question remained unanswered. Will Bob Dylan join this super star's line
up in Madison Square? Who hadn't performed any live concert for two years. That's why ticket was sold out at a glance and whole world's youth's attention was all about this 'Concert for Bangladesh'. Music has a responsibility. Music influences us mentally everyday. It creates emotions, makes us happy or calms us down. It has the power to build feelings of patriotism through lyrics and music, often pushing mankind to achieve feats of heroism. But here the aspect was the role music played in setting the actual impression for the War of Liberation of Bangladesh. Great musicians had the ability to become the standard-bearers of national identities and movements. The 'Concert for Bangladesh' proved that. It is said, "As is the music, so are the people."
The concert and record sales were eventually heavily taxed by the governments of the USA and Britain over allegations that they had failed to register the event as a concert for charity.

Finances aside, the concert achieved something far more
remarkable. Its music instantly raised awareness of our ongoing
genocide. What proved an unexpected effect despite Tikka
Khan’s efforts. It changed the way the world viewed events in
East Pakistan, also forcing the US government to notice and
react. Though before the concert, several journalists brought the word genocide to the front, but those weren't enough to
recognize this brutality to the world. West Pakistan with the help of US govt. tried to convince the world that, that was a
propaganda which was created by neighbor country India. They tried to misguide them telling there was no genocide happening. But after that show world realized that something happening wrong with Bangladesh. World's people started to seek knowledge about this war. After this liberation war, in 1991 George Harrison confessed that collecting fund was not the main objective for this concert. Raising the world's conscience was the main objective then they looked for money.

This is precisely what the greatest contribution of the Concert for Bangladesh is. It put the Bangladeshi crisis in the
imagination of the Western public and the whole world. The
Concert for Bangladesh was one of several factors and elements that contributed to the creation of this global imagination.
