Hello brother please take your time and read my response fully, my English is limited so you may feel some problem, I apologize for this inconvenience.
I dont really blame you about your thoughts because currently we are taught, not only Pakistani and Bagladesh but also indians too as commoners always remain ignorant about those works of our policy makers.
One day I also used to think like you but with complete different side as Bengali victim hood etc etc.
So.my mind was full with hatred to Pakistan. Since I was born a decade after this civil war that became so called victims(Bengali) fight against Raiders (west Pakistani) , so it was not unnatural for peoples to hate Pakistan when he was learning that what Pakistan did, they murder us, they rape our women blah blah.... .
And same goes for west pakistanis too as you saw that lots of online Bengalis are brutally criticizing Pakistan without any good reason, without any proof and also you were taught by Pakistani (west Pakistan for me, because Pakistan is a bigger concept) govt and that is Bengalis were traitors, indian stooge etc etc, so you ( means lots of Pakistani, not all though) guys have negative idea about majority of Bengalis.
And India played a vital role from the beginning but that's different story.
However when I was growing as adult I was thinking about those drama and irrational contradictory sides of so called victimhood vs raider theory and many more it can't be explained in short.
But only some questions can solve some queries.
1969 and before all movement by Bengalis were against martial law and not against Pakistani authority.
Since Pakistan was created most of Pakistan prime ministers were from East Pakistan. Check the list
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Prime_Ministers_of_Pakistan
.check from 1947 to 1971.
And also in Pakistan army there was major general from East Pakistan ( this part I can't prove because military issue is always hidden from civilians), so there is no such crap named so called imparity and bengalis never rebel against military regime because of so called imparity.
All revolution is for democracy and it's not only for east Pakistanis but for west Pakistani brothers too who were equal suffered under military regime.
So there were no war between two Pakistan, all were just war against seperatists Indian paid Bengali they were few in numbers
Even mujib became their hostage and finally he called army after meeting with yahyha khan an surrendered to army so that army can take care of seperatists.
But when army failed and mujib was sent back to east Pakistan under control of India, there were no other option left for him except saying that this military intervation is freedom fight.
Because my friend before that 26 March night mujib had a huge army to save him from Indian prey and when he was send back to dhaka all army surrendered and no one was to protect him and his family.
So you would do the same if u were in his place.
And also most of Bengalis fought against muktis to hold Pakistan, and finally when the unrest was about to finish, then India directly attacked Pakistan and captured East.
It was the failure of ISI, failure against R&AW. It was a defeat of Pakistan against India, and sadly more than half Pakistani became helpless in sudden brutal Indian victim. And Pakistanis ( Bengali became suddenly in an identity less situation.
If you study carefully and impartially please read the book, ' Dead Reckoning' by sharmila bose. It is a very scholarly book, she wrote after lots of studies and she directly speak with Pakistani army officers and also bangladeshi commoners including some Hindus and then wrote the book.please get it and read it, you will not regret and you will know the truth. And other parts you need to equate after reading it,comparing it as I did. A truth seeker who really want to know reality,want to know their root, they can start with the book.
I hope pakstani brothers are not too stubborn to ignore the reality that who ( enemy, dragon, r&AW whatever you call it) were responsible for unrest in East Pakistan, they are playing the same dirty role inbalochistan too.
The main drawback of Bengal was Bengal had no land border with rest of Pakistan. And it's extremely hard to control war against well planed war against India from 3200 miles ( sea root) .
You see even few years ago stadium of bagladesh were full of Pakistani flags during cricket matches? Public feelings speak a lot and we shouldn't ignore this.
