Part1:Profile of killers Golam Azam First Amber-e-Jamaat of Bangladesh The head (Ameer) of the collaborators (Rajakar) of Pakistani occupation army and a heinous war criminal. The vile monster behind the genocide of 1971, rapes and molestation of 45,00,000 Bengali women and murder of hundreds of pro Bangladesh intellectuals. In one of the photos recovered from the archive of Pakistan military intelligence Golam Azam and his top associate Motiur Rahman Nizami are seen handing the list of the names of progressive Bangalee intellectuals over to the Pakistani generals for elimination. The guru of extremist Islamic ideologies in Bangladesh. The leader of 70,000 Razakars, Al-Badr and Al-Sams forces. (New York Times, 30 July, 1971). War criminal Golam Azam cartoon link: http://www.iftwcb.org/images/ghatak.jpg When the burden of the killing became too much for the army, the Pakistanis enlisted and trained paramilitary units made up of non-Bengali Muslims and Bengali collaborators from right-wing religious parties. These paramilitary units, the al-Badr and al-Shams, worked as informers and assassins to augment the military's gruesome task of killing Bengalis. In June 1971 Sydney Schanberg reported on the formation of these units: In June 1971 Sydney Schanberg reported 'Throughout East Pakistan the Army is training new paramilitary home guards or simply arming "loyal" civilians, some of whom are formed into peace committees. Besides Biharis and other non-Bengali, Urdu-speaking Moslems, the recruits include the small minority of Bengali Moslems who have long supported the army -- adherents of the right-wing religious parties such as the Moslem League and Jamaat-e-Islami led by Golam Azam and Motiur Rahman Nizami These groups collectively known as the Razakars, the paramilitary units spread terror throughout the Bengali population. With their local knowledge, the Razakars were an invaluable tool in the Pakistani Army's arsenal of genocide.' However, In June the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg filed a number of eyewitness accounts from Bangladeshi towns for The New York Times. In response, the Pakistan army expelled him from the country on June 30, 1971. Golam Azam, Rao Forman & Malek, discussing blue print for killing the pro Bangladesh intellectuals The Pakistan army, on the verge of defeat, was determined to wipe out Bengali culture in one final act of barbarism. On December 14, 1971, the Pakistan army unleashed the paramilitary units led by Jamaat-e-Islami Al-Badr and Al-Shams to exterminate Bengali intellectuals. The goal was to find and kill Bengali political thinkers, educators, scientists, poets, doctors, lawyers, journalists and other intellectuals. The al-Badr and al-Shams fanned out with lists of names to find and execute the core of Bengali intellectuals. The intellectuals were arrested and taken to Rayerbazar, a marshy area in Dhaka city. There, they were gunned down with their eyes blindfolded and their hands tied behind their backs. Jamaat-e-Islami and its leaders were in the forefront of this planning and execution of Bengali intellectuals. Al-Badr and Al-Shams systematically executed well over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals and scholars. Professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, writers were rounded up, blindfolded, taken to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city; and executed en masse in the killing fields, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur. Several noted intellectuals who were killed from the time period of 25th March to 16th December, 1971 in different parts of the country include Dr. G. C. Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU),Dr. Munir Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Dr. Mofazzal Haider Chowdhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Anawar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Fazle Rabbi (cardiologist), Dr. Alim Chowdhury (opthalmologist), Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist), Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhiren Dutt (politician), R. P. Saha (philanthropist), Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier), Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer)and many others. Noted writter Dr. Rashid Aksari stated in one of his writing "The paramilitary force Al-Badr, which was formed in September 1971 under the auspices of General Niazi, chief of the Eastern Command of the Pakistan Army, was the instigator of that hideous massacre. Their objective was to strike panic into the people by abduction and killing. It was the military adviser to the so-called Governor, Major General Rao Forman Ali who masterminded the whole conspiracy to extinguish the intellectuals and the higher educated class. Had they had one week time more, they would have killed all the Bengali intellectuals, which was a part of their master plan. The Badr force was in fact a special terrorist faction of the then Jamaat-e-Islami led by Moududi, Golam Azam, and Abdur Rahim. He continues to narrate "Immediately after submitting the killing plan, Golam Azam, along with the chief of the Razakars, Mohammad Yunus, and the liaison officer of the Peace Committee, Mahbubur Rahman Gurha, went to see the training of the Razakar and Al-Badr at the Physical Training College. From then on the Student Sangha all over the country was transformed into Al-Badr and in the last week of November and first half of December the list of the intellectuals was handed over to them for abduction and persecution. On December 4 began the imposed curfew and black out to pave the way for abduction. The preparation for abduction of the intellectuals extensively started from December 10. Amid curfew and black out, an Al-Badr bus, stained with mud, picked up the listed intellectuals from their residences. Then they were taken to the Al-Badr headquarter at Mohammadpur Physical Training College for interrogation and persecution. At dead of night they were taken to Rayerbazar brick field and killed. The killing also took place at Mirpur. Golam Azam (born 1922) the mother of all killer, is a Bangladeshi political leader. He is also widely known as a war criminal who collaborated with the Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, particularly with regards to creating and managing the vigilante Razakar and Al-Badr forces. Recently released unclassified documents of the Pakistan government reiterate his role as a war criminal. He refused to accept the independence of Bangladesh upon its liberation on December 16th 1971, and was a permanent resident of Pakistan until 1978, and maintained Pakistani citizenship until 1994. Entering politics as a student leader at Dhaka University, Azam became the secretary of the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh in 1957. Later, he became the Amber (president) of the Jamaat in East Pakistan in 1969. During the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, he was accused of collaboration with the Pakistan Army, and was also accused of war crimes. To the last leg of nine months long war on receiving an urgent telegram from Maududi, Golam Azam went to Lahore, on 22 November 1971, to see him. He could not return to Bangladesh as his citizenship was revoked by Sheikh Mujib government. Failing to return to Bangladesh the arch criminal went to Mecca, ostensibly, for Hajj. From Saudi Arabia Go Azam traveled Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Beirut and Libya to lobby against Sheikh Mujib government and raise funds for counter revolution. Following his extensive international PR activities Go Azam arrived in London. From London he published the Jamati newspaper Daily Sangram on a weekly basis. In 1974, the weekly Bichitra published a very interesting report on Golam Azam's activities in London: In early 1974, Golam Azam presented a blueprint of anti Bangladesh activities at a committee meeting held in a house in East London. According to a reliable source some Pakistani nationals were also present in that meeting. The participants in that secret meeting were: AT Sadi, Toaha bin Habib, Ali Hossain, Barrister Akhtar Uddin, Meher Ali and Dr Talukdar. Pakistani citizen Mahmud Ali is one of the top Pakistanis present in that meeting. The chair of the meeting Golam Azam said " to continue our activities from London will be difficult. So someone has to go back home. We ought to take risk-otherwise there will be no outcome. But if you go home-you will have contacts. I have already contacted my people. Everything is okay. Handing out a leaflet to all members present Golam said it has to be distributed among the people of every village of Bangladesh. People are with us. According to some sources the said leaflet contained propaganda for a proposed confederation with Pakistan. Others believed that it called for an Islamic revolution organized using the network of mosques. Some people were reported to have arrested near Dhaka carrying those leaflets. Golam Azam also mentioned the proposed support for anti Bangladesh activities from Pakistan and some other Middle Eastern countries. (Like Zia) Golam Azam said 'Money is not a problem'. It was heard that Golam Azam collected 45,000,000 Reals from Saudi Arabia for reconstructing the mosques of Bangladesh demolished during the war. Shrewd Golam spent a large portion of that money to purchase a house in Manchester in UK. Presently his son Mehedi Hasan is living in that house. Golam' eldest son Kaifi Azmi is a senior officer in Bangladesh Army and believed to be working as a link between ISI cell in Bangladesh Army and Jamati Terrorist groups. After the war, the Bangladesh government sought to remove the influence of the fundamentalists and collaborators, and Golam Azam's citizenship was cancelled. He chose to live in exile in Pakistan and England until 1978, when President Ziaur Rahman re-established multi-party democracy and legalized the previously banned fundamentalist parties, and allowed him to return to Bangladesh on a temporary visa. Golam Azam became the unofficial Amber of the party while remaining in the country illegally (though no attempt was made to restrain him and he moved around openly), and his citizenship was restored in 1994 by a decision of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. Ghulam Azam announced his retirement from active politics in late 2000. He was succeeded by Motiur Rahman Nizami. Golam was Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami from 1969 to 2000 which is THIRTY ONE YEAR ( So called Islamic Democracy) probably just to follow the foot step of his leader Moududi who was also the ameer of Jamaat from its formation on 6 August 1941 till 1972 which is THIRTY ONE YEAR too. Ghulam Azam's party, Jamaat-e-Islami, has been accused by a cross section of political parties and secular organizations as a patron of recently (2002-2006) rising militancy and behind a number of terrorist bombings. Almost all of the recently arrested militants were alleged to have links in the past to either the Jamaat or its student wing, the Islami Chhatra Shibir some Bangladeshi newspapers such as The Daily Star, Prothom Alo, Janakantha and Bhorer Kagoj describes Jamaat as who favors destabilizations of mainstream politics so as to reap the dividend from the subsequent vacuum.

Jamaat or Jamatis was related with most genocide that happened during nine months of liberation war. To understand the genocide of 1971 and those who committed the genocide we must recognize and identify Jamaat leaders and their heinous activities during 1971 as well as their conspiracy against the democratic secular Bangladesh at this time.

Re: Profile of a killer: Golam AzamÂ"Number One war criminal |
Thank you all for your observations on the subject.
I earnestly request you all to kindly note some untold stories. The 1947 partition of India was a nicely enacted British drama. It has been well confirmed by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad in his book India Wins Freedom that in a confidential meeting with Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, Lord Mountbatten convinced them the good things about the partition and immediately after that meeting both Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru agreed for the creation of Pakistan.
M.A. Jinnah was agreeable to the united India under the Cabinet Mission Plan which followed the interim Government.
In Bengal also Shaheed Suhrawardy, Sarat Chandra Bose and Kiran Shankar Roy supported the unity map of Bengal. But due to some orthodox leaders the second partition of Bengal came up. All must remember that the concept of partition of Bengal was a British concept.
As such, we find that London was the prime-mover of all divide and rule policies leading to the 1947 partition of India and subsequently the partition of united Pakistan in 1971.
Since the birth of mankind, politics is a subtle drama of the politicians at the cost of the lives of the common peoples.
However, the political mentors sometime forget that eventually the nature will take its own course. The political leaders do not care for the life and death of the common people. They always care for there own benefits.
Nature takes time, but it acts.

In that respect, people who call themselves Muslims need to work much harder than any other religious group; the history of East Bengal over the last 65 years is a testament to that.

Religion-based division, hatred and discrimination are too deep in them. I would recommend them to unite with India only after they have gone through some serious re-education.

I think a good relationship between Bangladesh and India would help both the countries. Only by being engaged can India influence life in Bangladesh. Through a good relationship, India could help improve inter-religion relationships within Bangladesh, which would be the key for an India-friendly Bangladesh.

This group probably just wants improvements in the citizenship and human rights everywhere, without which good relations between the three countries of the subcontinent are impossible. They know the problems in all three countries, and they can see the differences between the three countries. They are fully aware of the fact that Pakistan is too much into the ditch when it comes to human and citizenship rights, and that a union with that entity is a losing proposition for the subcontinent. They also realize that visa-free travel between the three countries would be harmful for the subcontinent overall.

Some idiots are more concern about the religion than their material and educational progress. With such mentality, a country has no where to go but down hill. While Pakistan is a history, Bangladesh could be the next if politicians do not see the writings on the wall. Srilanka, Nepal and Myanmar will be fine because they are more secular than Pakistan and Bangladesh and Indians are having almost an open border policies with those countries (except Mynamar but that might change).
