RE: [ALOCHONA] EPW - The 1971 Genocide: War Crimes and Political Crimes by Jalal Alamgir , Bina D Costa

Do You know that a survey was conducted in 192-73 period by the government of Bangladesh. Later it was not released .The number of deaths indicated there was around fifty thousand including Biharis and Razakars.It is better for the government to release that if it is still available in the archive. To read various sides of the matter we should read the Indian, Pakistani, Bangladesh and Western reports.Sharmila Bose of India’s book is a new addition.
