I need to apologise for I come from a nation where the Govts word & document is law.

yeah that's why people involved in massacres get bail and not punishment in your country.

 

[third eye]

Even civilians were made pow

This is what the Museum site says :


As regards civilians, there were a very small number of senior bureaucrats, the junior lot being the locals. As far as civilian families are concerned there were hardly any because they had already been shifted to their native areas during the period of turmoil.

Yes the law. That only works on Muslim terrorists but "goes slow" when it comes to hindu terrorists.

Since this new govt came, I have been told to go soft on accused (Hindu extremists): Special Public Prosecutor Rohini Salian | The Indian Express

What law, the usual bharti knee jerk response is to blame ISI, pigeons, camels, tooth fairy etc.

It is you who digressed. The thread is about PA museum website. Not about POW's of 1971 war. Have some shame if not for you then for military that you served.

I see a contradiction on the Museum's site. This is what it says .. (extracts only ) :

FALSIFYING THE INDIAN CLAIMS

It has been widely propagated and falsely believed that 93,000 officers and men of Pakistan Armed Forces surrendered in East Pakistan. Nothing could be far from the reality.

After considerable attrition in about ten months of fighting, the total number of army persons who surrendered in East Pakistan could not be more than 32,000 by any calculation. There were hardly about 8,000 – 10,000 more people in different categories like Scouts, Mujahids and civilians. The local force viz East Pakistan Civil Armed Forces (EPCAF), raised to replace the East Pakistan Rifles, comprised of locals mainly non-Bengalis, who joined their families as the war ended. As regards civilians, there were a very small number of senior bureaucrats, the junior lot being the locals. As far as civilian families are concerned there were hardly any because they had already been shifted to their native areas during the period of turmoil.

How this figure of 93,000 was concocted and what were the motives can be judged from the fact that India took two weeks to pick up these prisoners from different parts of East Pakistan.

Pakistan Army has also been falsely charged with heinous atrocities in East Pakistan during 1971. An impartial observer must count the number of non-Bengalis living in East Pakistan on 1 February 1971 and as to how many were left after two months i.e. by the end of April 1971 when the Army managed to restore some order in the area and as to what had happened to the rest. Pakistan Army, comprising of about 30,000 men including some reinforcements that had been flown by air, was tasked to restore normalcy.

A force could never have stooped so low as to indulge in any immoral and tyrannical acts. Pakistan Army had been brought up and trained in the noblest traditions of Islam. Friends and foes alike had been all admiration for their conduct, discipline, courage, bravery, moral and ethical attributes and strength of character.

To sum up, the total strength of the Pakistani prisoners in Indian camps was not more than 40,000. In this, about 30,000 to 32,000 belonged to Pakistan Army, about 5,000 – 6,000 were from the Civil Armed Forces i.e. three Scouts and four Rangers wings, two Mujahid battalions, a small number of Air Force, Naval and Police elements and very few civilians.

The figure of 93,000 was concocted simply to defame and demoralize Pakistan Army. Their repatriation to their homeland was spread over about eight months making sure that the personnel of those units who served in East Pakistan could not get together. Repatriation of huge numbers of prisoners was trumpeted to deceive people and claim undue glory for the Indian Invaders.

If the above were true, why would Govt of Pakistan issue this postage stamp in 1972 ?

Said many times at many places, civillian prisoners were also included. Officers from civil services, police etc were also included.

 

[punit]

yes

LOL bHUTTO WAS THE blue-eyed boy of PA !

Said many times at many places, civillian prisoners were also included. Officers from civil services, police etc were also included.

Listen carefully what Manekshaw said

He says that PA was outnumbered 15:1 now you do know the number of IA in EP, add them with a rough estimate of number of Mukti forces and divide by 15.
At most, you will get 46k as a result.
Plus IDK how two divisions and an ad hoc division can have 93k men.

You actually tried to pick your favorite topic from the whole website and then tried to change the topic of this thread. That is where I doubt your claim of being associated with Indian military as we expect more maturity from a military professional.
