Re: [mukto-mona]



In order to motivate the soldiers to kill innocent soldiers, the officers tell them all the lies to motivate that it would be their sacred duty to go for the pogrom. Nazi occupation army used the same tactics. Hindus were the Jews. We should remember the first night attacks on Jagannath Hall, Hundu professors, and Hindu entrepreneurs like Jogesh Ghosh and R. P. Saha. In my town initial targets were Hindu businessmen. The nation was so strongly determined that no efforts by the occupation army worked. All the Bengalis irrespective of religious and other ethnic identities fought together. 

I also do not agree with Roy that the Pakistan occupation did not face any opposition, that every thing was running smoothly and that they could win the hearts of the Bengalis. There is no denying the fact the army was facing opposition in every step and that's why it had to apply brutal force. The small town I lived in witnessed spontaneous organization of resistance groups. Within a few days local MPs and retired Bengali army officers joined to organize them in a systematic way. We know they faced resistance from Rajarbag police camp and also from EPR and even army itself. That 10 million refugees were in Indian refugee camps proves that the country was not running smoothly. Any one living within the country knew that it was really an abnormal situation. In such an abnormal situation silence of the public did not mean their consent to the occupation army's activities. Throughout the entire ten months rumors were everywhere about killings, looting, arson, rape, etc. Many families were real victims. 
As a matter of fact it was too late to win the hearts of Bengalis. It failed to achieve this goal during the twenty four years. The nation reached the point of no return.

I agree entirely with Subimal Chakrabarty's analysis of pre-liberation period atrocities of the Pakistani Army. They wanted to kill not only the Hindus but also all liberal minded Muslim Bengalis, particularly the intellectuals, so that never again Bengali nationalism arise. But the soldiers who carried out the operation were illiterate and ill trained. One instance was like this: a band of soldiers broke open the door of one of the University Professor's apartments in the University Quarters. As they went in, they saw a large picture of Rabindranath Tagore displayed in his sitting room and the Professor froze, being caught with Tagore's picture. As Tagore had full face beard, they thought he must be a very pious Muslim, they said "salam" to his picture, apologised to the "pious" Professor profusely and then left his apartment! 

Now coming back to Jiten Roy's reply (given below,) I find it absolutely bizarre. Is he saying that East Pakistan was running smoothly in 1970 and 1971 until Indian Army launched attacks? Where did he get this information from or is he day-dreaming? On top of that, he is saying 100 million refugees were in India to justify India's 'interference'. The entire population of East Pakistan was 70 million and so they must have hired another 30 million from somewhere to move to India as refugees! What a story! This sort of non-numerate bigotted utterances is typical of Bengali morons - 3 million deaths in nine months!

Since Pakistani Army did not face enormous confrontation while they were marching through East Pakistan, they could win hearts and minds of Bangalis, if they wanted to, without much bloodshed. In fact, East Pakistan was running smoothly under their control, until Indian Army launched attacks. How would India justify interfering with the internal affairs of Pakistan without 100 million refugees there? Presence of millions of refugees in India justified attacking East Pakistan on the ground that refugees have destabilized Indian internal safety and security.

The Hindu card played by the occupation army was part of the India card that the Pakistani regimes had been playing since the very beginning. The sole objective of this game had always been to counter the Bengali nationalism. The Pakistani regimes always raised a wall between the Bengalis of the then East Pakistan and the Bengalis of Poschimbongo. During the occupation period the Hindus were targeted to derail the Bengali liberation war. There was absolutely no reason that the occupation army would have been good to the Bengalis. The only way they could be good was to smoothly transfer power which they were determined not to do. Hence the liberation war and efforts to suppress it at any cost was inevitable.

Yes, Dr. Rahman, I understand the definition of hate-crime: it's a crime committed out of hatred alone, nothing else. Since holocaust occurred out of hatred for Jews, nothing else, it was obviously a hate-crime. Whether perpetrator was the state or soldiers is not important.

As you know, Pakistani soldiers were asking everybody - "Malauns Kaha" and they were looking for Hindu-families all over Bangladesh. As you know, Hindus alone were not seeking cessation. So, what did lead them hunt for Hindus? Obviously, it was their hatred for Hindus. Whether that was as per state policy or not is immaterial.
In short, Pakistani-hatred for Hindus led to the exodus of millions of Hindus into India. That hatred, in fact, legalized Indian involvement in the conflict, and made Bangladesh a reality.
I strongly believe, Pakistan would have been intact today had Pakistani soldiers expressed love, instead of hatred, towards Bangalis after they arrive in the East Pakistan. As you know, Pakistani soldiers did not face direct confrontation at all after they arrive. So, there was no need for any of those atrocities, especially against Hindus. Their hatred for Hindus was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I thoroughly dispute Jiten Roy's contention that the Jewish holocaust victims were "hate-crimes of Nazi soldiers". They were, without doubt, the victims of State organised mass murder under the Nazi Party. They were definitely not stray victims of "hate-crimes" of individual Nazi soldiers. To say so is the denial of history.
Similarly, Bengali liberation war victims were not from "hate-crimes" of Pakistani soldiers. The Army carried out the government policy to eliminate Bengali uprising at that time. That cannot be called the "hate-crimes". I get the feeling that Jiten Roy does not understand the meaning of "hate-crime".

Now let me come back to the casualty figure of the liberation war. As Kamal Das pointed out that the claimed casualty of 3 million in Bangladesh is comparable to the casualty figure of just over 3 million in 20 years of Vietnam war. Nobody needs to be reminded of the ferocity of the Vietnam war over 20 year period. Bangladesh had nothing like that in the short period of 9 months. There were no battle between the armies, no full scale war, no bombing, no tank battle. There were only skirmishes here and there between the Bangladeshi fighters supported by Indian soldiers and Pakistani soldiers. The majority of the casualty was non-war casualty - Pakistani soldiers killing innocent civilians to maintain law and order in the cities; Al-Badr and other gangs killing innocent Bangladeshis and Bangladeshis killing Biharis. Pakistani soldiers did not fight any battle and surrendered lock, stock and barrel on 14 Dec 1971.  

For the sake of history, we need to establish facts; not exaggerated, totally ludicrous figure. I had been told by Mr Abdur Razzak himself (who was Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's right hand man and most trusted lieutenant) that when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman returned from Pakistani prison in 1972, Razzak told him that 3 lakh people died in the liberation war. Mujibur Rahman translated that to 3 million when making a statement to the foreign journalists. Even that figure of 3 lakhs was highly exaggerated. However, it would have been appropriate for the government to correct the mistake and give a realistic figure and everything would have been forgotten. Failure to do that, the country is lumbered with a gigantic lie from someone no less important than the 'father of the nation'. The psychology that has developed since then is that if 3 million figure can get accepted, then anything we say and repeat few time will come to be accepted. This is the blatant failure of national and personal accountability. I rest my case.

Most important point to remember is that, just like Jewish holocaust victims were casualty of hate-crimes of Nazi soldiers during the World War II, these are Bengali holocaust victims, casualty of hate crimes of Pakistani soldiers during the war of independence. 

Actual casualty figures of the war of independence both sides were only a few, because Pakistani soldiers never fought a war; they all surrendered.

Mr Mannan,

Your endeavour to expose those "jaroj" or 'bastard' people in Bangladesh is admirable and I hope that you succeed. I am with you. But my request would be that whatever you say should be based on facts - pure and undiluted, not heresy or gossip. If you resort to massaging facts, however small, to make the case stronger, then people will reject the whole story and think that this story is one of "those".
 
A concrete example of "massaging facts" is Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's statement that 3 million people died in Bangladesh liberation war. Actual, impartial and evidence based account is between 30,000 and 40,000 deaths. When Sheikh Mujibur Rahman came back to Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1972, he was told by his party propagandists that 3 laks died, which was itself an exaggeration by about 10 times. Then Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at his interview with the foreign journalists stated that 3 million people died. Now Ministers, Prime Ministers etc all quote this figure and foreign journalists give a wry smile and think that these are the faces liars and cheats.

Re: [mukto-mona]



Das's first sentence is good and will encourage a healthy debate. The second sentence reflects Das's mindset that it is only he who comprehends history perfectly well. Whatever I have written is based on articles written by competent authors.  I believe instead of trying to shut one's mouth, the debate should be taken to a higher level. We need to remember that BKSAL was created in 1975 while Mujib had been in the bad book of the countries that directly or indirectly acted against Bangladesh's liberation.

It is also noteworthy that both Mujib and Bhutto with great promises brought an end to actual and virtual army rules in Pakistan. While Bhutto quickly surrendered to evil forces like Islamists, Mujib did not. But Mujib was struggling to do some thing good to the economy devastated by the war. One strategy he followed was to get support from countries not friendly to Soviet Union. Despite opposition from within he attended the Islamic Conference in Lahore.

Re: [mukto-mona] Fw: BANGLADESH IS MOVING FORWARD UNDER THE PRUDENT LEADERSHIP OF HON. SHEIKH HASINA !!!!!!



You should also say:

Bangladesh has consistently maintained a very top position in the list of corrupt nations (produced by the United Nations) for the last 15 to 20 years.

Bangladesh, even after 43 years of independence, is one of the Least Developed Countries (LDC) in the world along with Rwanda, Nigar, Sikkim, Sudan etc. Even Botswana, Maldives, Samoa are better than LDCs; they are developing countries.

Bangladeshi Ministers are most idiotic and bogheaded human beings.
