What happened in East Pakistan was open and clear terrorism committed by a neighbouring country. India will have to pay dearly for this. Wait for that time. As for the 'genocide' committed by Pak Army go check the accounts of Sarmila Bose, an Indian writer who did extensive research on this topic and has refuted many claims.
In fact genocide was committed by Mukti Bahini, the RAW trained terrorists. So stop hiding behind this 'genocide' sympathy label my Bengali brothers. You played in the hands of the enemy. You got your country, we are happy for you. Now go live in it.
Mukti Bahini became politically active after the riots in East Pakistan on 1969, which were far from bloody. What is with the use of such extreme force? Ever heard of human rights?
It mostly armed itself after Operation Searchlight resulting from the millions of refugees that poured across the Indian border.
The PAF even attacked Longewala on the Western front for no reason.
What? Do you expect India to remain quiet in face of all the refugees and a clearly unprovoked attack? I'm sure you'd give a fitting reply if you were in their shoes. Especially considering that India had a lot of internal problems at the time.
I know that the Mukti Bahini did carry out abuses. And did your country even work towards a war crimes trail against the Mukti Bahini? Or making the ones responsible for the atrocities against Biharis? No.
Ever wonder why your leaders did it? Please don't say that it was Bangladesh, India and the USSR that denied justice. You know who has more influence in the world court for war crimes. The whole thing never happened due to Cold War-era complications.
Your leaders knew that they did something wrong. And they screwed up completely.
There were some Bengali pseudo-Islamists who carried out the Pakistan force's orders. Did they really have to murder the intellectuals of the then East Pakistan? And just because they knew they were losing the Easter front?
Yes, they were politically active. No, they did not engage in armed combat or instigated anything. Seriously? Professors with AK-47s? My father was nearly executed by the Pakistan army. And no, he was a fighter or even politically active. He was a simple graduate. They were literally killing any able-bodied Bengali boys at the time.
Bhutto was a greedy man. He should have given the power to Mujib, he wouldn't have lasted for a month anyways. Yaha was a drunkard.
Now does that become the responsibility of the Pakistani leadership at the time?
Make India 'pay'? Now? Dear, I hope you understand that no country in the region other than China can effectively run a war against India now and the future. This isn't just my opinion, but a fact.
Here's a piece of advise: Don't ever do or justify those actions again against your own people, or your country pay dearly. If not already back in 71.
and interesting to note that BD is such a sh*thole that they still come to Pakistan to buy military equipment eg. Baktar Shikan and Al-Khalid MBT
We didn't buy the Al-Khalid variant
The MBT-2000s will be manufactured in China.
I don't know what you mean by 'sh*thole' considering Bangladesh has a growth rate of over 6%.
We do buy cotton from Pakistan. Hell, there's even a branch for National Bank of Pakistan a few blocks from my office in this 'sh*thole'.
