Personally I know quite a few families who lost loved one during 71, I rarely see them into name calling game we witness today. They quietly carry their memories and look at political circus around "Their loss".
After passing four long decades, we should have some maturity in our judgement and ethnic background should not prevent us to show sympathy to those where INNOCENT civilians were victims of that war (That was forced upon us by Pakistani leadership).
Slowly but surely we are emerging as a mature nation and our attitude should reflect that maturity when we deal with any Bangladeshi citizen regardless of their ethic background (Be they are from hill tracts of Chittagong or "Non Bangla speaking Bangladeshi").
(For the kids among us who don't posts carefully) this is NOT any attempt to cover any criminals. Criminals deserve to be punished and should be punished.
Shalom!

I am not sure what Mr. Qutubuddin or his friend Mr. Hussaini were expecting from the Bengali public when the country was liberated with three millions dead? We should have accepted those non-Bengalis and razakars with garlands? Forget and forgive for raping our mothers and sisters? Is there any liberated country where revenge killing never took place right after the liberation?
I would not justify killing of any innocent person. However, the numbers are pretty pale compared to our three millions dead. The numbers may not even go beyond few thousands. I understand where Mr. Hussaini would like to go with this non-Bengali killings when we are trying put some of our mass murderers behind the bars. I understand his implicit sympathy for these notorious murderers.

Re: [mukto-mona] Crime against Humanity
If there is any event where innocent civilians were victims, I think it is about time we look past ethnicity of the victim. We Bengalis suffered and mourn the losses of 71. At the same time if any "Muhajirs of non-Bengali origin" suffered that is no less.
-----Original Message-----
The issue is legitimate but not new. Many of these non-Bengalis were not exactly innocent angels during our liberation time. They were right at fore front of massacring Bengalis from the get go. These non-Bengalis with their Razakar friends were fully licensed to kill anybody at anytime. Their main target was mainly non-Muslims, progressives and Awami leaguers. As we all know, the final toll was nearly three millions. No single family escaped from their bloody daggers or bullets unless you were Jamatis or razakars.
