This is a myth that only 17 horsemen took over Bengal. Bakhtiyar Khilji attacked with a large forces, but according to legend, he run horse so fast that only 18 horsemen could accompany him. But bulk of his force was just behind him. By that attack, he only took over a small portion of West Bengal in 1203 AD. He could not took all of Bengal. King Lakshman Sen continue to reign from his capital Bikrampur in East Bengal. Entire Bengal came under Muslim rules by 1230 AD on a gradual basis. Long after Bakhtiyar Khilji and Lakshman Sen's death.Only 17 Turkic horsemen took over Bengal just by riding through!!! The King simply fled away
Another lie. Nawab's army was 50,000 strong. But bulk of it was under the command of Mir Jafar. British had 1600 European soldiers and 3000 Indian sepoy working for the British. Main army under Mir Jafar defected on the side of British as soon as war started. Conspirators also damaged cannon gun powder of Nawab's army. It was a sham war whose fate was sealed before it's start. Such small British forces could never dared to engage in war against Nawab if they could not managed Mir Jafar and other powerful conspirators.
- Only 200 British soldiers subdued 70K of Nawab’s army!!! Due to a conspiracy, they just looked on without putting a fight!
They were not paralyzed, but were put on hold for strategic reasons. And AF is an exaggeration, a surveillance helicopter sneaked across boundary few hundred meters, when warned, fled to myanmar side rapidly. These incidence happened a number of times during the height of Rohingya crisis. Clearly a crude attempt by burmese to provoke Bangladesh into a clash and divert the attention from atrocities against refugees. Question is, why should we fall in such a crude burmese trap? We are not reactive animal dictated by raw impulse. These same burmese got tough response from Bangladesh army when they tried to infiltrate into disputed sea areas in 2008 and was forced to withdraw.The Burmese are now having a free ride inside BD of 160m folks!!! Their AF checked into them for 72 hours while entire BD military remained paralyzed!!!
