East Bengal, East Pakistan, Bangladesh, Assam, War Crimes and Genocides Anis Ahmed anis.ahmed@netzero.net All crimes (murders, rapes, tortures, etc.) committed by the hindu zamindars to Muslims landless people during British era should also be tried as genocide crimes. Hindu zamindars, politicians and intellectuals including poet Rabindra Nath Tagore himself never wanted separate East Bengal province to be established. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and murdered by the British government with the direct collaborations (except Rabindra Nath Tagore) of the Anti-East Bengal perpetrators. Dhaka University and many academic institutions, ports, cities, towns and industries established due to the creation of East Bengal province. In my opinion today's Bangladesh is a result of the creation of the then East Bengal. Muslims of the then East Bengal voted for East Pakistan and later fought for Bangladesh independence. If those people would not have been voted for East Pakistan, East Bengal would remain as a province of India today and East Bengal would never be independent as Bangladesh now. For example, Assamese did neither choose to stay with East Pakistan nor voted for independent country and as a result their successors are still fighting for independence from India today. Millions of souls will never be in peace if war criminals of Bangladesh independence are not tried so as hundreds of thousand souls will not be in peace if those genocide criminals of anti-East Bengal province are not brought to the justice. All late criminals can be brought to the justice posthumously to recognize the crimes committed by them. |
