Pakistan should apologise to the people of Bangladesh for atrocities committed before 1971, a minister in Tripura said.

Speaking at an event on the occasion of the International Mother Languages Day on Monday, Ratan Lal Nath, the education minister in the BJP-led government, said, “The International Mother Language Day has come about due to Bangladesh. The Pakistanis perpetrated barbaric atrocities during the language movement there in those days.

Pakistanis, who reigned through terror during that time, haven’t still apologised or expressed sorrow. It’s their negative mentality. I shall say from this stage that though it is late, Pakistan should apologise to the Bangladeshi people.”

The minister called for the preservation of mother languages of all communities and stated that the new education policy has attached priority to allow teaching in mother languages.

“In past four years, we have introduced Kokborok language as academic subject in 45 primary schools, 49 secondary and 22 higher secondary schools. We have also taken initiatives to appoint 22 Kokborok faculties in colleges,” the minister said.

The BJP-led government has also introduced Kokborok Language Teachers’ handbook for teachers, he added.

Additionally, the state government has announced Rs one lakh to researchers interested in working on seven indigenous languages including Kokborok, Kuki, Mizo, Garo, Chakma, Manipuri and Bishnupriya Manipuri languages. Such research projects could be undertaken through the Kokborok and other Minority Languages department of the state government.

Meanwhile, Tripura has started an online Kokborok language learning course for government employees since January 30.

“We have taken the initiative as employees face hurdle in communicating with people in hilly areas in Kokborok language. In the first phase, total 100 employees have been selected,” Nath said. The state government departments would be named in Kokborok language soon, he added.

Tripura’s move to rename places and destinations in Kokborok started two years ago with Baramura hills, being rechristened Hatai Kotor, Gandacherra as Ganda Twisa and Atharomura range to Hachuk Berem.

Expressing concern over extinction of languages, Nath said that a total of 231 languages became extinct in the past 26 years as per UNESCO record and another 639 languages are heading towards extinction.

Citing concerns over endangered ethnic languages of Tripura, he said his government is working to preserve all languages including those like Bongcher, Korbong etc. Both tribal languages are critically endangered ethno-linguistic dialects of the state, spoken by only a handful of people.

“The main objective of this day is to love and respect our own language as well as that of others”, Nath said.

Bangladesh assistant high commissioner Arif Mohammad, Higher Education council chairperson Dr. Arunoday Saha, Education department director Chandni Chandran and others joined the International Mother Language Day event in Agartala.

One-third of Tripura’s 37 lakh population are from 18 tribal communities. Most of them live in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), spread across 7,132.56 square km and covering nearly 68 percent of the state’s geographical area. As per government estimates, 8,14,375 people from different tribal communities like Tripura, Reang, Jamatia, Noatia, Kalai, Rupini, Murasing and Uchoi speak Kokborok. Kokborok is now being taught in nearly 300 schools including senior basic, Madhyamik and higher secondary schools, as against in 166 schools during the erstwhile Left era.

Reading your posts + book by B.Bhutto, it looks like Indira Gandhi (as usual) made a big mistake by taking away those POWs.

She got nothing in return for the grand gesture of not leaving those POWs in bangladesh.

PS: My post is purely on what India got out of hosting those POWs for about a year? Indira Gandhi wanted to rely on the honor of Z.Bhutto + other top pak leadership, but such a thing does not exist.
India got Bangladesh's creation in return

Understand the Global situation at that time. USA after exhausting gun-boat intimidation was looking for using diplomatic means to corner India at UN

Soviets made it clear they were not going to veto any more resolutions against India.
Poland raised a resolution at UN for pulling back Indian troops from East Pakistan

Given above situation if those POWs were harmed, global opinion would turn against India and force us to scale back on gains made and possible recognition of Bangladesh would have taken decades.

Death of POWs is no loss for Pakistan, their military in less than a year could add those troop numbers back to its army.
Creation of Bangladesh is a geo-political disaster for Pakistan which make take centuries to take back.

Thanks for the informative post.

For your info , indra got it easy.
Push anyone with the wall and they will fight to death.
If Pakistani army had no exit way, they had done the same. Had fought to death, as they had known they are gone die anyway.
The only way they surrendered and the war got shortened, was because they saw a guaranteed exit way.
P.S . It was not indra Gandhi , It was General Makenshaw who gave the guarantee and honored it.
The Pakistani top brass at the time and General Makenshaw were course mates at Sandhurst England and trained together as colleagues. They knew each otger and could trust each other.
This is disgusting, ill-informed and stupid.

Nop, won't interest me, because you were born way after 1971. My entire family was there , and what I write is what I heard from them.
Guess which version is more believable.
I was there, and I am telling you that you know nothing.

Was wondering how long it would take before the stereotypical 'aukaat' post 😂😂


This is why some people move on with life in all fields and some societies are still in the dark ages too busy with keeping other people's 'aukaats' in check 😂


Keep at it champs, the real comedy show begins in 10 - 15 years, when the disparity will be like the one that exists between North and South Korea..


StAy In YoUr LaNe 🤣🤣🤣😂

Actually, there is more to the POW issue.

I read the book by Benazir Bhutto...and she listed the options that Indira Gandhi gave to Z.Bhutto.
During those negotiations, B.Bhutto was accompanying Z.Bhutto, and she asked the rationale behind the choice that Z.Bhutto took.

Based on the choices that Z.Bhutto was given, I am reasonably sure that Indira Gandhi knows the choice that Z.Bhutto will make. Despite that knowledge, she gave that option away for free.

Indira Gandhi was advised by her adviser (Hasker or so...spelling could be wrong) to be magnanimous in victory....and also she believed the cock-and-bull stories of Z.Bhutto. Later, that guy Hasker wrote that - that advise he gave to IG is the worst failure in his career.



PS: I am not quoting the options that Indira Gandhi gave to Z.Bhutto as that book is not handy with me now. I am away from home. I do not want to quote from memory.

What a crap topic started by one of the worst trolls on [PDF]. Mods should close it.
@The Eagle @waz

I 2anted to ask if Bangladesh needs an Indian official to demand something? I don't think Bangladesh is a subservient State to India at all.

However, comedy topic is closed in courtesy for the self respect of Bangladeshis.
