No one is blaming all Pakistanis for what happened in 1971. Even Mujib did not do it. When Bhutto was uttering unspeakable language at rallies in Pakistan regarding Bengalis, Mujib always referred to Pakistanis with respectable terms. The point is you guys, at least most of you don't even hold...

Taslima has mental problems. According to her, she was raped by her uncle or something like that when she was really young and also saw her uncle doing her mother. Hence the mental disturbance. She is not mentally stable and dilutes history by creating fictional facts of history in her books. i...

Bengali muslims were no less loyal to the cause of Islam. I hope you realize that neither your politician nor your army represent Islam, specially if you consider the atrocities of 1971.

Basmati rice is not even eaten frequently by the Bengalis. We had 200 kinds of rice produced then and I think you are forgetting the position of Bangladesh as one of the 4 largest producers of rice in the whole world beside India, China and Indonesia. The basmati rice you sent was to feed the...

no source says indians disguised themselves as mukti bahini. One can say anything he wants. it does not make his words a source to blindly rely upon. I personally met mukti bahini soldiers who were some of the best human being and the most pious of the muslims i have ever met in my life. you are...

why do Indians talk about 1947, 1965 in 2010? why you guys make at least 5 bollywood movies per year on those themes? 1971 was the biggest event in the history of Bangladesh and we are proud of it as we were the real victors. India won the war with us; without us you guys simply had no chance of...
