The Brown Sahib mentality that prevailed in the Army, the Bureaucracy and west Pakistan politicians was responsible.. but it was the Army that played the key role as it was in power.
Sh. Mujib had a history. 6 point agenda. Agartala conspiracy stuck on his back.
it is not that simple, that he would have quieted down and ruled the whole Pakistan with fairness.
A huge issue with him from democracy's ideals? He only won in one province. with no pre-poll alliances or even understanding.
Based on my analysis, He was much bigger version of our own ethno-fascist Altaf Hussain and nothing else.
I hate PPP but at least it was able to reach out to more than one province.
So Sh. Mujeeb was not going to rule the wholle Pakistan in a fair manner.
Heck he could not rule even the province he won. And his Own people utterly destroyed his entirely family.
only one daughter survived because she was out of the place called sonar bangla.
He was a king incarnate in the hands of Pakistani army. some times incarcerated but still king.
the same king was a heap of minced meat in the hands of Bengali army. Not just him,
but bengali army made minced meat out of all the kids in his family, his uncles, aunts, granpa, granny, young and old
All turned in to a big heap of minced meat.
So please let's not repeat superficial statements about sh. Mujeeb.
I respect you greatly as a poster.
