Seriously dude,just get over '71.

A Small South Asian country with vast military capabilities, Bangladesh has been on media for quite sometimes for it's Military. The capabilities of Bangladesh Armed Forces is well known to it's neighboring forces since Indo-Pak War of 1965, When Bangladesh Army's 1st Bengal Regiment single handed gave Indian Army the most humiliating defeat of their history and how they drove Pakistan out in 1971. However, a recent Military Analysis shows that Bangladesh Army is now more powerful than Ever.

Defenders Paradise
Bangladesh has been labeled as Defenders Paradise by Military Analysts due to It's very strategic layout. According to experts, It is almost impossible for a single country to beat Bangladesh Army at frontal war due to Bangladesh geographic location and Army's clever layout. Further beyond, It is also said that it's two biggest current threat India and Myanmar can't afford to face Bangladesh in a full frontal war. In order for either India or Myanmar to attack Bangladesh, They have to use at least 21 divisions for attack which means India have to bring in Soldiers from It's border with China, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which leaves the whole border almost defenseless. Which will leave Bangladesh Army's guerrilla force totally uncontested to attack into India.

As for Myanmar, It is almost next to impossible to beat Bangladesh Army due to It's army's lack of Experience and weapons.

Submarine Purchase
According to Australian Navy's report, Bangladesh Navy's Submarine purchase is much more than just Patrolling it's maritime boundary. Navy is already received two Ming-Class Submarine which will be placed in newly constructed base near Bangladesh-India Border. Why would Bangladesh Navy purchase aging Ming-Class submarine? Good Question. The reason behind the purchase of two Ming class is to warm up it's Navy before procurement of two more Kilo Class from Russia and Three more classified submarine from Turkey by 2019. So, The navy can brace itself for a fleet consisting seven submarine by 2021.

It is important to know that most of Bangladesh Navy's information and procurement are kept secret until given green signal from Ministry of Defense. Such as the formation of SWADS were kept classified until 2009. There are rumors that Bangladesh Navy is building another special forces named "ODD71", However, all information has been kept intact.

Bangladesh Armed Force's Strength
ARMY

Active Personnel: 350,000 (Active) / 2,280,000 (Reserved)

Inventory: 1400+ APC, 600 Tanks, 100+ Self Propelled Artillery, 5000+ Anti Tank Missile, 10 Aircraft

Heres a much better version by me.





A deeper glimpse into a rising military.

A small South Asian country with formidable military capabilities, Bangladesh is a rising major economic and military power in the region.


The capabilities of Bangladesh Armed Forces is well known to it's neighboring forces since Indo-Pak War of 1965,when Bangladesh Army's 1st East Bengal Regiment alone gave Indian Army the most humiliating defeat of their history.Seeing no chance to defend Lahore from a full-scale Indian invasion and all Pakistani allies being beaten and retreating,the East Bengal took the most valiant option available - put bombs & mines on themselves and run to the tanks and blow them up along with themselves.Thats quite ridiculous,but this brave desicion is the sole reason why Lahore and surrounding areas are still part of Pakistan.
Bangladeshi pilots? They served and maintained Pakistani superiority in aerial engagements through out the war.The most famous pilot of the war,Bangladeshi-born Ace known as M.M. Alam,who shot down 5 Indian jets in one minute only,4 of which were taken out in a 270° hard turn in 23 seconds.

In during the Six Day Arab-Israeli,even when the Arab allies had a tough time in aerial warfare,Bangladeshi-born pilot Saiful Azam went against the mainstream flow and got more kills against Israeli jets than any other pilot in history,and proved once again the superiority of Bangladeshi pilots.During the war,he initially served with Jordanian Air Force and then with the Iraqi Air Force before returning to homeland.

Perhaps the Bangladeshi Liberation War during 1971 was the most-known and acknowledged act of Bangladeshi Armed Forces as the newly formed Bangladeshi nation,facing over-whelming enemies and high casualities,struggled against Pakistan to form their own sovereign nation.After decades of tolerating West-Pakistani atrocies,the East-Pakistani population could not take anymore and took to arms after hundreds of thousands were massacred in the blood-soaked streets of Dhaka.They had to take severe damage at the early days of the war wnd the casualities were high.USSR & India supported Bangladesh while USA & China supported Pakistan.USA even sent their navy's largest formation - the 7th Expedition Fleet to the Bay of Bengal to assist the Pakistanis during the war,while the Soviets and Indians countered it with intercepting the US Fleet with a fleet of nuclear submarines,missile cruisers and nuclear threats.After moonsoon hit,the tables began to turn however ; the Bangladeshi side began to take over the war.After succesive operations like Operation Jackpot & Operation Barisal,the Pakistanis seemed to get on the losing side.Millions of freedom fighters fought against the Pakistani side for 9 bloody months and finally attained victory on 16th December,1971.This was not an easy accomplishment at all,they had to earn independence at the cost of 3 million lives,having their whole economy destroyed,the whole country was in anarchy and there were no infastructure.The newly formed state of Bangladesh had to suffer alot of hardships as they tried to re-build and retain its former glory.

During the Gulf War of 1991,Bangladeshi troops,at the request of the ruler of Saudia Arabia,deployed thousands of troops to defend Saudi Arabia from Iraqi offensive during Operation Desert Shield.These troops also participated in the Coalition Offence of Kuwait known as Operation Desert Storm.After the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi control,Bangladeshi troops didn't stop - instead,they took a major part in Operation Rebuilding Kuwait and undertook de-mining operations all over Kuwait.


Defenders Paradise

Bangladesh has been labeled as Defenders Paradise by military analysts due to it's very strategic geographic layout.According to experts,it is very hard for a single country to beat Bangladesh Army at frontal war due to Bangladesh geographic location and Army's clever layout.

Soft Alluvian soil means that heavy tanks and artillery cannot move off-road,making them easy ambush targets on road.The extremely humid climate,heavy rainfall,thick morning fog,extreme heat means that sensors would have problems operating in such climate,even Indian light tanks bogged down on our soil during '71.Thick forests would be a JACKPOT location for ambushing,and so is the lush farmlands.Bangladeshi people know their country very well,and can exploit its environment for ambushes.The rough moonsoon rain and floods from April to December would mean most of the low lying floodland would be frequently flooded ( just think of what a pain in the rear it would be ).And whats the worst of all? The small country has hundreds of rivers flowing all throughout it.After you cross every few kilometers,expect to run into a river ( you would know how hard river crossing is for an army ).

And expect a very fierce resistance from Bangladeshis.Bangladesh is arguably the world's most densely populated country and has the 8th largest population on Earth,making an enemy expect the sharpest resistance almost everywhere they go.Bangladeshis are extremely proud and patriotic,they are ready to do anything for their country.This has been proved in 1971,when tens of millions of citizens gave up everything they had and took to arms.

Further beyond its also said that one of Bangladesh's largest and strongest threats,India would have difficulty facing Bangladesh in a full frontal war. In order for either India to attack Bangladesh,they have to use at least 21 divisions for attack which means India have to bring in soldiers from her border with China & Pakistan which leaves the border vulnerable for a Pakistani or Chinese counter-strike.India can only maintain dominance if it only sticks to aerial and naval warfare.

As for the other threat - Myanmar,it is impossible for them to beat Bangladesh Army due to their lack of war experience,training, disclipine,war budget,equipment and finally - able and ready soldiers.

Air Force
Bangladesh Air Force may be small and neglected,but the Gov't is working on it - purchasing 10 Squadrons of 4++ Generation Aircraft.
The BAF purchased Karakorum K-8W/Hongdu JL-8 Advanced Jet Trainer, Yakolev Yak-130 "Mitten" Advanced Jet Trainer/Lead-In-Fighter Trainer Aircraft.These birds will train 600 BAF pilots for 2 years ( one has already passed ) and then the Gov't will decide its future fighters and purchase the first batches of the 10 planned squadrons.
Gov't wants 6 squadron of air superiority fighters,4 squadrons of multi-role fighters with decent maritime strike capability.
The aircrafts evaluated are Chinese Chengdu J-10B/C,American Lockheed Martin F-16 block 50+ Fighting Falcon,Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 SMT Fulcrum,Sweedish Saab JAS-39 NG Gripen,Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-35 Super Fulcrum,American Lockheed Martin F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet and Sukhoi Su-30 MKK/MK2 or Su-30 MKB ( our variant,the B is for Bangaldesh )
So far,the most possible birdie is Mikoyan MiG-35 for air superiority role and Sukhoi Su-30 MKK/MK2/MKB for the multi-role combat aircraft.
For SAM,BAF currently has 2 batteries of FM-90N SHORADS and LY-80E is on order.

Army
Bangladesh Army has increased its reserve army to 2 million mark,reaching the 6th Largest mark.
The standard soldiers of Bangladesh would be upgraded to Future Soldier System standards.Already soldiers of the East Bengal Regiment ( Yeah,the same guys you read earlier ) and some parts of the 46th Independent Brigade as well as the 1st Para-Commando Battalion have been upgraded to that level.
Bangladesh Army is already upgrading its Type-59s to Type-59BD,our version of the Al-Zarrar tank under the 902 Heavy Workshop of Bangladesh Ordnance Factories.
44 MBT-2000/VT-4A "Al-Khalid" tanks have been procured.
Two more regiments of possibly Type-90 MS Proryv/Tagil would be procured from Russia in the near future.
Our 330 BTR-82A IFV's delivery would start by the end of this year.
For SAM,Army has 2 regiments of FM-90N SHORADS and LY-60D is on order.

Navy

Bangladesh Navy will soon purchase a half-dozen newer frigates,3 squadron of fixed wing aircraft ( probably JF-17/FC-01 Thunder block 3 ) as per Forces Goal 2030.

Bangladesh Navy's Submarine purchase is much more than just patrolling it's maritime boundary. Navy is already received two Ming-Class Submarine which will be placed in newly constructed base near Bangladesh-Myanmar Border. Why would Bangladesh Navy purchase aging Ming-Class submarine? Good Question. The reason behind the purchase of two Ming class is to warm up it's Navy before procurement of two more Kilo Class from Russia or Song Class from China by 2019-2020 and three more classified submarine from Turkey or China by 2021. So, The navy can brace itself for a fleet consisting seven submarine by 2021.

It is important to know that most of Bangladesh Navy's information and procurement are kept secret until given green signal from Ministry of Defense.

There are rumors that Bangladesh Navy is building another UDT specialized special force named "ODD71", However, all information has been kept intact.

east bengal regiment... man everyone has nothing but respect for that regiment... everywhere around the world. a british friend of mine years back talked about how royal armed forces personnel were satisfied with the expertise and professionalism of east bengal regiment... proud of our armed forces. <3

 

[Kyoto]

What is their military budget, $3 billion? Hardly more than Sri Lanka. Its not comparable to India or Pakistan.. Not that it needs to be.

 

[EAK]

the question is if india attacks pakistan will they be able to... ofc yes even in case of bd... but what they meant is that sustaining against us will be hard because of our style of fighting


it's posted from somewhere else...
tbh... with bd opting for diversity in their weapons choices... i wouldn't be surprised...

Well the Question might have pinched you because of blunt nature.. but still you haven't answered properly ..Pakistan is a whole other level ..so staying on topic would benefit the thread..No need to be offended ..

Hows it?






Kira.

Why are there things like f-18 and jf17blk3?Makes it suspicious.

Well the Question might have pinched you because of blunt nature.. but still you haven't answered properly ..Pakistan is a whole other level ..so staying on topic would benefit the thread..No need to be offended ..

well my answer might have made you assume your conclusion because of the delicate nature... but no i meant it in a frank non offending way...
india can ofc attack bd.... or pakistan or china or srilanka or nepal or bhutan... but what it can do with some countries on the list it can't do with others... and that's why you always see them threatening... not doing anything about it.

so to answer your question... the attack part would be possible by any country... but it would be foolish to attack pakistan or bangladesh or china for that matter... it's 3 possible enemies...

Ok point nicely carried..
But That's where you are wrong ...india in current scenario can not attack neither China or Pakistan because of their nuclear arsenal ..But in Bangladesh case they have no worry of any backlash.. So how will Bangladesh be able to sustain their airforce and naval attacks..How they can plan their land attack..is it possible

bangladesh doesnt need nukes in this case because geography... they might just invade but then regret like the germans... we are the most densely populated country in the world... anywhere they go theyll face resistance... they can't even get thier armor into our land... and if they can get their soldiers in... they got no armor to push through the resistance... bangladesh maintains good relationship with all nations so it would be foolish if they ever invade us because strategically china, america all have interest in bd...

plus then comes the nasty style of fighting... i mean the russians praised the germans in their fiercce savage resistance... the east bengal regiment was praised for being what basically is kamakaze on lands... the guerrilla fighting with advantages of us being on our home turf and the weather... plus the people... all plays in our side... their is no way of a successful conventional warfare themed invasion... if they have to get bangladesh they have to cripple it politically. i just pray and hope our people will be smart enough to understand that

 

[Hamza913]

6 years later when you start killing their younger generations and raping women of their country just because its okay to rape a non muslim fatwa your muftis put up... what do you expect them to do?
some peoples terrorist are often some peoples freedom fighters.

The rape thing has yet to be proven. There is proof of genocide but nowhere near enough proof that millions of Bangladeshis were raped.

And we only started the violence once Bangladesh started taking up arms. You shouldn't have taken up arms in the first place if you weren't prepared to handle the consequences

I have yet to come across a single bangladeshi who knows even one of such women? or whose innocent grandpa was killed by PK.. or who has the moral courage to talk about massacres of WP civilians and families of Pak Soldiers

Seriously dude,just get over '71.










Heres a much better version by me.





A deeper glimpse into a rising military.

©Jawara Ahmed

A small South Asian country with formidable military capabilities, Bangladesh is a rising major economic and military power in the region.


The capabilities of Bangladesh Armed Forces is well known to it's neighboring forces since Indo-Pak War of 1965,when Bangladesh Army's 1st East Bengal Regiment alone gave Indian Army the most humiliating defeat of their history.Seeing no chance to defend Lahore from a full-scale Indian invasion and all Pakistani allies being beaten and retreating,the East Bengal took the most valiant option available - put bombs & mines on themselves and run to the tanks and blow them up along with themselves.Thats quite ridiculous,but this brave desicion is the sole reason why Lahore and surrounding areas are still part of Pakistan.
Bangladeshi pilots? They served and maintained Pakistani superiority in aerial engagements through out the war.The most famous pilot of the war,Bangladeshi-born Ace known as M.M. Alam,who shot down 5 Indian jets in one minute only,4 of which were taken out in a 270° hard turn in 23 seconds.

In during the Six Day Arab-Israeli,even when the Arab allies had a tough time in aerial warfare,Bangladeshi-born pilot Saiful Azam went against the mainstream flow and got more kills against Israeli jets than any other pilot in history,and proved once again the superiority of Bangladeshi pilots.During the war,he initially served with Jordanian Air Force and then with the Iraqi Air Force before returning to homeland.

Perhaps the Bangladeshi Liberation War during 1971 was the most-known and acknowledged act of Bangladeshi Armed Forces as the newly formed Bangladeshi nation,facing over-whelming enemies and high casualities,struggled against Pakistan to form their own sovereign nation.After decades of tolerating West-Pakistani atrocies,the East-Pakistani population could not take anymore and took to arms after hundreds of thousands were massacred in the blood-soaked streets of Dhaka.They had to take severe damage at the early days of the war wnd the casualities were high.USSR & India supported Bangladesh while USA & China supported Pakistan.USA even sent their navy's largest formation - the 7th Expedition Fleet to the Bay of Bengal to assist the Pakistanis during the war,while the Soviets and Indians countered it with intercepting the US Fleet with a fleet of nuclear submarines,missile cruisers and nuclear threats.After moonsoon hit,the tables began to turn however ; the Bangladeshi side began to take over the war.After succesive operations like Operation Jackpot & Operation Barisal,the Pakistanis seemed to get on the losing side.Millions of freedom fighters fought against the Pakistani side for 9 bloody months and finally attained victory on 16th December,1971.This was not an easy accomplishment at all,they had to earn independence at the cost of 3 million lives,having their whole economy destroyed,the whole country was in anarchy and there were no infastructure.The newly formed state of Bangladesh had to suffer alot of hardships as they tried to re-build and retain its former glory.

During the Gulf War of 1991,Bangladeshi troops,at the request of the ruler of Saudia Arabia,deployed thousands of troops to defend Saudi Arabia from Iraqi offensive during Operation Desert Shield.These troops also participated in the Coalition Offence of Kuwait known as Operation Desert Storm.After the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi control,Bangladeshi troops didn't stop - instead,they took a major part in Operation Rebuilding Kuwait and undertook de-mining operations all over Kuwait.


Defenders Paradise

Bangladesh has been labeled as Defenders Paradise by military analysts due to it's very strategic geographic layout.According to experts,it is very hard for a single country to beat Bangladesh Army at frontal war due to Bangladesh geographic location and Army's clever layout.

Soft Alluvian soil means that heavy tanks and artillery cannot move off-road,making them easy ambush targets on road.The extremely humid climate,heavy rainfall,thick morning fog,extreme heat means that sensors would have problems operating in such climate,even Indian light tanks bogged down on our soil during '71.Thick forests would be a JACKPOT location for ambushing,and so is the lush farmlands.Bangladeshi people know their country very well,and can exploit its environment for ambushes.The rough moonsoon rain and floods from April to December would mean most of the low lying floodland would be frequently flooded ( just think of what a pain in the rear it would be ).And whats the worst of all? The small country has hundreds of rivers flowing all throughout it.After you cross every few kilometers,expect to run into a river ( you would know how hard river crossing is for an army ).

And expect a very fierce resistance from Bangladeshis.Bangladesh is arguably the world's most densely populated country and has the 8th largest population on Earth,making an enemy expect the sharpest resistance almost everywhere they go.Bangladeshis are extremely proud and patriotic,they are ready to do anything for their country.This has been proved in 1971,when tens of millions of citizens gave up everything they had and took to arms.

Further beyond its also said that one of Bangladesh's largest and strongest threats,India would have difficulty facing Bangladesh in a full frontal war. In order for either India to attack Bangladesh,they have to use at least 21 divisions for attack which means India have to bring in soldiers from her border with China & Pakistan which leaves the border vulnerable for a Pakistani or Chinese counter-strike.India can only maintain dominance if it only sticks to aerial and naval warfare.

As for the other threat - Myanmar,it is impossible for them to beat Bangladesh Army due to their lack of war experience,training, disclipine,war budget,equipment and finally - able and ready soldiers.

Air Force
Bangladesh Air Force may be small and neglected,but the Gov't is working on it - purchasing 10 Squadrons of 4++ Generation Aircraft.
The BAF purchased Karakorum K-8W/Hongdu JL-8 Advanced Jet Trainer, Yakolev Yak-130 "Mitten" Advanced Jet Trainer/Lead-In-Fighter Trainer Aircraft.These birds will train 600 BAF pilots for 2 years ( one has already passed ) and then the Gov't will decide its future fighters and purchase the first batches of the 10 planned squadrons.
Gov't wants 6 squadron of air superiority fighters,4 squadrons of multi-role fighters with decent maritime strike capability.
The aircrafts evaluated are Chinese Chengdu J-10B/C,American Lockheed Martin F-16 block 50+ Fighting Falcon,Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 SMT Fulcrum,Sweedish Saab JAS-39 NG Gripen,Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-35 Super Fulcrum,American Lockheed Martin F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet and Sukhoi Su-30 MKK/MK2 or Su-30 MKB ( our variant,the B is for Bangaldesh )
So far,the most possible birdie is Mikoyan MiG-35 for air superiority role and Sukhoi Su-30 MKK/MK2/MKB for the multi-role combat aircraft.
For SAM,BAF currently has 2 batteries of FM-90N SHORADS and LY-80E is on order.

Army
Bangladesh Army has increased its reserve army to 2 million mark,reaching the 6th Largest mark.
The standard soldiers of Bangladesh would be upgraded to Future Soldier System standards.Already soldiers of the East Bengal Regiment ( Yeah,the same guys you read earlier ) and some parts of the 46th Independent Brigade as well as the 1st Para-Commando Battalion have been upgraded to that level.
Bangladesh Army is already upgrading its Type-59s to Type-59BD,our version of the Al-Zarrar tank under the 902 Heavy Workshop of Bangladesh Ordnance Factories.
44 MBT-2000/VT-4A "Al-Khalid" tanks have been procured.
Two more regiments of possibly Type-90 MS Proryv/Tagil would be procured from Russia in the near future.
Our 330 BTR-82A IFV's delivery would start by the end of this year.
For SAM,Army has 2 regiments of FM-90N SHORADS and LY-60D is on order.

Navy

Bangladesh Navy will soon purchase a half-dozen newer frigates,3 squadron of fixed wing aircraft ( probably JF-17/FC-01 Thunder block 3 ) as per Forces Goal 2030.

Bangladesh Navy's Submarine purchase is much more than just patrolling it's maritime boundary. Navy is already received two Ming-Class Submarine which will be placed in newly constructed base near Bangladesh-Myanmar Border. Why would Bangladesh Navy purchase aging Ming-Class submarine? Good Question. The reason behind the purchase of two Ming class is to warm up it's Navy before procurement of two more Kilo Class from Russia or Song Class from China by 2019-2020 and three more classified submarine from Turkey or China by 2021. So, The navy can brace itself for a fleet consisting seven submarine by 2021.

It is important to know that most of Bangladesh Navy's information and procurement are kept secret until given green signal from Ministry of Defense. Such as the formation of SWADS were kept classified until 2009. There are rumors that Bangladesh Navy is building another UDT specialized special force named "ODD71", However, all information has been kept intact.

Hows it?






Kira.

Ironic how u claim MM Alam a Bihari who fought for Pak and died in Pak.. whose people were massacred and are still discriminated in ur country..

Whats more ironic is when u somehow exagerate the role of bangali soldiers of Pak Army.. recruited,trained and fought for Pak as bangladeshis..lol

For example the only PAF pilot of bengali origin to sore kills -- saif ul azam was trained and recruited and fought for Pak ... till he mutinied and joined rebells in 71.

Realistically speaking bangladesh,sri lanka or even myanmar have hardly a military worth boasting about..

 

[Arsalan 345]

bengali regiment helped save lahore,there is no doubt about that.as i told earlier,we made mistakes but it doesn't mean that you allow you bitter enemy india into east pakistan.one mistake of bengali people was to allow indians inside pakistani territory.how can you allow your enemy to sit inside someone else territory? operations were already started secretly by RAW and they even funded some of the bengali population.why we did things in return? we did it because we don't wanted east pakistan to be separated.allegations is always there.indians and some pro indian bengalis taunt us of raping women but it's not true.first you betray us by allowing enemy inside pakistani territory.our actions was a proper response but unfortunately,we didn't save our land.east pakistan was very far from west pakistan and there was also a naval blockade.anyway you can't blame pakistan army for everything.if i love my country,why would i allow indians to walk freely! everybody knows why india did that.india wanted to make bangladesh it's own part but due to international pressure,they failed to achieve their primary objective.we only lost territory but india failed to make any impact on western pakistan since 1971.we will never allow anything like that in any of our province.everyone knows that war isn't over.india and pakistan will fight another war and situation in the region will be dramatically change within the next 20 to 30 years.

no one said millions of rape happened... but it did... now don't make me talk about war babies and women who were freed after the surrender from the army headquaters... there is video footage of everything that happened in the war.... it's just that pakistanis are kept in denial and never shown these like the japanese... but people who accept their past and appear apologetic... like the germans are the ones people respect.

ps. the war started with operation searchlight starting off with killing university students in thier dorm rooms... no matter how much you try to twist history... people know the truth. and the problem didn't suddenly start in 71... was from way back... trying to impose urdu as the sole state language that should be spoken in and then killing students who wanted to speak their mother tongue... what do you expect? people keep quiet?

let me give you a scenario... if the indians invade and take over your country then impose laws like no slaughter of cows while claiming to be secular... how would you people react? a stick can only bend a certain angle... increase the tension and it snaps... ones it does a simple glue and wood work won't take it back to its original state. learn that!

Resistance with what? Bengal was occupied by brits for almost 300 years...

What geographic advantage... its a disadvantage when u are corned by a massive country like india from 3 sides...

71 war itself was pretty much lost till the indian invasion.. those clowns themselves were directly fighting PA since march 70... u will even find their confessions in their own books.. heck even former indian coas VK Singh brags about indian soldiers were insulted by their GOC ... for greeting him with "joy bangla" slogans while in a camp from where they would fight PA wearing lungis and even train MBs..

no one said millions of rape happened... but it did... now don't make me talk about war babies and women who were freed after the surrender from the army headquaters... there is video footage of everything that happened in the war.... it's just that pakistanis are kept in denial and never shown these like the japanese... but people who accept their past and appear apologetic... like the germans are the ones people respect.A

Ironically 4 decades onwards u have no proof of it!

BUT academics,researchers who have worked on it rubbish your claims...

lets say 3 million bangalis were killed... sure.. but can u even find 300K bodies or remains of those killed? or did we eat em along with their bones?

There are no videos of any women being freed from HQs but there are facts how bangali soldiers raped,butchered families of WP soldiers .. the HQ of East Bengal Rifles.. or should i say the massacre of Pak troops and their families is a well known fact.

Thousands of rapes happened, but not the millions your stupid country claims. There is no evidence for the absurd statistics your government pulls out of their rear.

You guys had protested and screamed for violence since the late 60's, and Searchlight was mostly peaceful until you started shooting at us.

Bangladesh was part of Pakistan. Pakistan's national languages are Urdu and English. Nobody in the West was an exception, and you guys aren't special either so we weren't going to let you be exempt from the rule.

You brought 1971 upon yourself, and still cry about it 40 years later. Move the hell on like the rest of us have.

 

[Michael Corleone]

I have yet to come across a single bangladeshi who knows even one of such women? or whose innocent grandpa was killed by PK.. or who has the moral courage to talk about massacres of WP civilians and families of Pak Soldiers

.

come to bangladesh and do the search... youll find some, hurry they're not young that i can guarantee they will be alive tomorrow.

personally i will be honest with you... in my village... a deal was made with the pakistani army that the village won't harbor any mukhtis on condition the pakistanis don't terrorize or set foot in our village... we kept our word and the pakistanis did theres... but there was reports of harassment of women outside of village which made many including my grandfather's cousin to go in war.... he died of old age and years later when i was still 5-9 yo... we found stashed ak-47s that he hid... probably after the war on our family property...

it wasn't that all pakistanis were monsters... many were good people who never harmed a single soul outside the battlefield... i have a uncle of mine who is now actually pakistani... he was in pakistan army and deployed in 71... after seeing the situation... he unfortunately deserted... went back through india and into middle east kuwait... studied and worked in world's largest islamic bank until retirement along with my father and now is in pakistan... doing business... we still keep in touch...


so you see... good people and bad people both existed and did what they had to... but denying any bad thing happened is just shameful....

Thousands of rapes happened, but not the millions your stupid country claims. There is no evidence for the absurd statistics your government pulls out of their rear.

You guys had protested and screamed for violence since the late 60's, and Searchlight was mostly peaceful until you started shooting at us.

lmao... if youre saying dhaka university which was ran by west pakistanis couldn't find out of keep arms out of their dorm... its their biggest failure.

no military operation is peaceful! this isn't nazis in bulgaria alright.

millions died... lacs of women raped is what we say... go through your claims before making it public...

that doesn't mean the punjabs were forced to suddenly speak in urdu alone... i am sure its still not the case...
but with us it was.

1971 is pakistan govt. failure to unite their country... stop whining and denying you guys lost... and thank god the indians politically played and took the power from MAG osmani on november 24... otherwise if the surrender happened in mukhtis hands... none of the 90k would have been allowed to go to pakistan alive... (considering the barbarism evil acts of mukhtis after the war was over)
