To make it very clear, I am not defending BB for not declaring independence sooner. I wish he did what he was falsely accused of.
1965 made it very evident that West Pakistani leaders saw East Pakistan with disdain.
Had BB acted sooner, we could have seperated with less bloodshed.
This is the reality! If BB didn't intend to become the PM of Pakistan, he could declare independence long before the operation searchlight!
Who knows maybe the operation wouldn't be started! Because I don't think that Pakistanis would take an oath to wipe off so called raw moles if BB openly declared independence, instead of wasting time on conference table with bloody Yahiya Khan!
Or even if it ( operation searchlight) would starts ,
we could remain prepared , so indeed there would be lot less bloodshed!
However
@Destranator Bhai , what's your take on the book Tajuddin neta o pita? Written by Sharmin Ahmed? ( Slightly off topic maybe but closely related)
The book is a double edged sword IMHO!
If her claim is entirely false , then I would say BAL should declare Sharmin Ahmed as Rajakar ( so her father Tajuddin) , hence our war of independence is cancelled! Because we don't fight under the leadership of a Rajakar ( Tajuddin) !
If her claims are true , then BB is cancelled as the founding father of Bangladesh!
It's absurd situation for both BAL for us!
We should ask for a clarification from BAL!
