Correction: In this video, there is an error in the map presentation where Kashmir is depicted entirely within Pakistan. We apologize for this oversight and any confusion it may have caused. Kashmir is a region that has been a subject of dispute between India and Pakistan. We value accuracy and strive to present information as objectively as possible.
Thanks for acknowledging this. A pool of youtubers fee that proper representation of maps is beneath them or just ignore the very people they are making videos for. Unwitting indians click on the clickbaits and they get the get the views.
This is what pakisthan is all about inhumanity brutality and religious conversion and it is very sad their population still supports such mind set and more sad is some bangladeshis still support pakistan in many cases just because of their religion such a shame support the same snake that almost wiped out your generation
What about Afghanistan? Thousands of our refugee intellectuals were assassinated by the ISI in the past 40 years. Millions of refugee young boys were forced to attend Jihadi Madrasa to become the monsters they’re now. They did all that to gain strategic depth in Afghanistan which has back fired. Looking forward to the day when this cancer called Pakistan is permanently removed from the map of the world.
As a Bangladeshi, my blood boils from the fact that none of those Pakastanis were ever punished. War is ugly, but only killing people is still humane than sexual assault. They conducted a systematic sexual assault on an entire country. Sure ! we won the war, but we failed to protect our women and children from those who are worse than barbarians. This fact makes me furious. Now, after 50 years, we are growing as a nation, and they are falling apart. Surely, the karma has caught up to them. ❤🇧🇩
India had captured 93,000 Pakistani soldiers. Biggest ever capture in modern history and held them. In 1974 Islamic conference happened in Pakistan. Sheik Mujib from newly created Bangladesh also attended. The the King of Saudi Arabia brokered peace between the two Islamic nations Pakistan and Bangladesh. The deal was: Muslim Bangladesh would forgive Muslim Pakistan. Bangladesh will not take Pakistan to International court of justice as it would not be compatible with Islam. Bangladesh will not ask for any compensation from Pakistan. Bangladesh will take all the liabilities of Pakistan until then!! Bangladeshis only have their own leader to blame for letting Pakistan go scott free.
Another correction: To stop India's support for Bangladesh, US President Richard Nixon directed NavalWarships (Seventh Fleet) towards the Bay of Bengal. On the other hand, Great Britain dispatched HMS Eagle, its powerful aircraft carrier, to the Arabian Sea to Intimidate the Indians and stop support for Bangladesh. US was in full support of Pakistan in this act of genocide. I can understand, If you are an American and did not want to touch upon such cruel facts. Thanks to the Soviets for sending Nuclear-Armed Warships, Submarines in Response to Indian SOS. Soviet Navy successfully encircled the US and the UK warships, thus stopping them on their way to India. This allowed India to support Bangladesh and get them freedom.
as a bangladeshi, i often feel the Independence War and the pakistani atrocities of 1971 isn't known widely enough. thank you for putting out such a well-researched video.
Still u ingrates are so religiously tribalistic u support pakistan in pakistan vs india cricket match when india literally saved your ass from total genocide
Man cause this is your govt fault they say to India that how long are you going to stretch 1971 Man your govt have same kind of people who are in Pakistan forget the dark past and blame someone else and many of the people don't even believe that happened cause your govt denies it
I love how he left out the fact that the US dispatched the 7th fleet and riled up UK and Italy to send naval support for Pakistan even after India presented concrete evidence of war crimes to the UN. If it wasn't for USSR sending it's nuclear submarines to create a naval blockade, Bangladesh would have been turned into a wasteland like Libya
Friendly reminder : Pakistani mosques issued fatwa allowing pakistani army to take bengali hindu women as spoils of war. No one said anything against it.
Pakistan army target was bengali hindu not Bengali muslim. Cadres of Al Badr and al shams were consist of largely bengali ☪️. Bengali ☪️ were both collaborators and victims of 71 war crimes
A proud West Bengali 🇮🇳 Indian here. I have some family roots in Bangladesh. And let me tell you the stories I have heard. My grandma used to tell me in east Pakistan women were kidnapped on the regular for many years, especially Hindu women. Then I had a distant uncle who volunteered for Bangladeshi freedom, he lost his life. The sacrifice and support that India had given Bangladesh was just. History can never forget. Jai Hind.
@@sabiriqbal9260 I wonder who is truly biased here. “Dead Reckoning: Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh War is a controversial book on the Bangladesh Liberation War written by Sarmila Bose.[1] The book has been accused of flawed and biased methodology, historical negationism and downplaying genocide.” Your username presents the bias frankly, I don’t need the work of “fake Bengali intellectual” to undermine real life witnesses. Get real.
@@imty8774 The Bengalis who struggled for Freedom are called Freedom-Fighters but Indians who crossed the border and killed Bengalis, Biharis and Army alike are Terrorists by any standard, just like Kalbhushan and TTP.
@@apsarathi1 what more can we expect of a nation of traitors. As an Indian Bengali myself, breaking apart east pak. from west pak. was very imp. for national security of India, but Bangladesh shouldn't have been allowed to have such autonomy in it's matter. People forget that the same mujibur rehman and his successors was a member of the Muslim league that was behind the Naokhali Massacre and the Calcutta Killiings. These pieces of history were carefully and craftily censored by the left govt. of WB and GoI, now with the increasing political power and influence of parties and org. like BJP and RSS, bengalis are re-learning their history. Though the present PM Hasina is one of the rare kinds. She's had done a lot of good for her country, her predecessors were talking BD in the same direction as pakistan.
Slight correction: USA did not stop the supply of weapons to Pakistan.Infact US and UK sent a fleet to help Pakistan but was blockaded by USSR in the Bay of Bengal in a stalemate. Essentially making it and IND+BAN vs PAK affair. Thus buying India the time to finish the operation. By the time US got a chance to find out a way to deal with USSR blockade, the war was over and Bangladesh was liberated. That is the reason you will still find a lot of Indians having a soft spot for USSR/Russia to this day even during the Ukraine war. In fact in later declassified tapes, it was revealed that Nixon was full on mega racist towards Indira Gandhi and south asians.
In short, obliterate US... Why... Support Pakistan in Genocide against minorities, vulnerable, women & children, humanity.. -> US The only Nukes to be used on humans- 2 of them ...-> US Take part in war crimes in Vietnam, Afg, Irq.. -> US Along with radical Islam, US is right at the top as the most Terroristic nation threatening peace on Earth. "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya Hall, Dhaka University. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their heels from fans".
Nixon hated our ethnicity, he said on record"Indian women are ugly, they make turn off", "they are scavengers, worse of the creation"... I think meant it for indira gandhi and benglis... Ppl don't talk about the racial mindset of punjabi army who see bengalis as there slave because they are not fair and tall like punjabis😑
My uncle lost both of his legs when as a young Major in the Indian Army he defended Punjab from the Pakistan Army in 1971. The army gave him a house to live in Pondicherry. He was alive until recently.
it’s disgusting how Pakistan’s history books are completely personalized to make us look like the good guy. i never even knew about this genocide until a few days ago. unfortunately Pakistan hasn’t changed much since. our country is still in the clutches of military dictatorship, minorities are not safe, and let’s not even get into the atrocities our army is committing in Balochistan. we never deserved Bangladesh. i’m so grateful they were able to achieve independence early on.

It's refreshing to see a Pakistani citizen speak out against its Army's atrocities without any bias. Kudos and respect from India. I wish there were more unbiased and frank people like you in Pakistan.
As a Thai, who lives nearly right next door to Bangladesh, and also personally interested in history, I've never even heard of this before! 😮 Thanks for the great work documenting.
British Pakistan will speak out and support Palestine and accuse anyone who doesn't support this cause, as 'racist'. But they never speak out about Pakistan's treatment of Balochistan! Both causes are equally as important, but the West completely ignores what's going on in Balochistan.
When we Pakistani people study in schools . We are told Pakistan is like a holy state and Pakistan army is holy knight fighting for us people and Islam . But its only when we grow old and realize the truth.... I am glad Bangladesh freed themselves from Power hungry monsters residing here
I write this with tear falling through my eyes. My dad left with my grandma and grandpa along with his brothers in 1971 from Bangladesh to India. They crossed the ocean like most did as they reminded “kandari hushiar “. I asked my dad many times about how life was in Bangladesh . He was just 7 or 8 years old but he said he was already a man by then just like most had to (we were Bengali Hindu) . But he always recalled the good memories, riding boat through rivers cause it’s a place interconnected by rivers and people used to travel home in man made boat, his friends, antics they used to do but when it came to that dark year he was always silent. He just said it wasn’t a good time. I read a lot of genocide committed during that time but this video just made me realise the cruelty people had to suffer. We are now proud Indians. I was born here so India is all I know . I never saw my grandparents. They passed away when I was an infant. We struggled a lot but now we are financially well off. I can’t thank you enough for this video. Every Bengali should watch this. Bangladesh was Bengal until it was partitioned.
When muslims invaded india they murdered, raped, mutilated, enslaved and force converted Hindus en masse. To this day Hindus are the only, ONLY group of people the evil Muslims could not force to fully convert their religion. We are the only resistance in the entire planet from their evil. We must reconvert them back or remove them by force.
Hey umm a Bangladeshi here, give warning on disturbing content alert. Sometimes the pak IT cells would massively report this video until UA-cam demonetizes it. They did so in the past btw.
The first simultaneous attacks came on what was then known as Iqbal Hall, a student dormitory and Jagannath Hall of Dhaka University. It may be mentioned here that Jagannath Hall is exclusively meant for non-Muslim students, particularly Hindus and Iqbal Hall's residents were mostly members and supporters of the then East Pakistan Student League , a student wing of Awami League. We, therefore, notice that although most young men and to some extent young women too, were the targets of attack by the Pakistani Army and their auxiliary forces , the first attack on the students were also very much target oriented. The massacre on the 25th March actually began from Dhaka University. After dormitories have been shelled at a point blank range , any students remaining alive were shot or bayoneted to death. Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan , the official historian of Pakistan Army wrote: The army had to use rocket launchers to break open some rooms of the hall. The correspondent from the British newspaper Daily Telegraph , Simon Dring reported on March 30, " Led by the American supplied M-24 World War II tanks, one column of troops sped to Dacca University shortly after midnight. Troops took over the British Council Library ( situated within the campus) and used it as a fire base from which to shell nearby dormitories areas. Caught completely by surprise some 200 students were killed in Iqbal Hall, Headquarters of militant anti-government student union, I was told. Two days later, bodies were still smouldering in burnt -out rooms others were scattered outside, more floated in a nearby lake." But this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to Jagannath Hall and the erstwhile Iqbal Hall, students of all ages , irrespective of their religious or gender identity were killed, tortured or at the least humiliated. Students were considered as the harbinger of the Independence Movement f 1971 and hence they were the principle target of murder and atrocities in 1971. Neither gender nor age was a factor in deterring the perpetrators of war crime from committing atrocities and murder .Female students were not spared either. In this context it is very important to note that female students too were subject to equal subjugation and torture by the Pakistani Army. On March 30, 1971, the American Consul General in Dhaka, Archer Blood, sent a telegram to the State Department recounting the Pakistani atrocities in Dhaka. In it he wrote about the massacre at Rokeya Hall at Dhaka University where, according to Blood, the building was "set ablaze and girls machine-gunned as they fled the building." On March 31, 1971, Archer Blood sent another telegram which recounted atrocities against girls. Blood wrote: "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya Hall, Dacca U. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their heels from fans." Small notes they may be ,but they bear a very big footmark of the atrocities of the Pakistani Army and their collaborators in crime. It may be mentioned that during the early days of Operation Searchlight Pakistani army killed students instantaneously by shooting or by launching rockets in the dorms. But when the dorms were emptied and the surviving students fled this Operation Searchlight intensified and was extended even to remote villages. Students were rarely shot at sight, on the other hand they were caught , interrogated if they had links with the Freedom Fighters or Mukti Bahini and even if they had not any link or it was not proven , the innocent students were tortured and slowly killed. .
You left out the part where the Soviets sent a special (nuclear-armed) naval task force to stop the US from aiding Pakistan in the genocide. The US plan was to attack Indian air bases if they crossed the border into East Pakistan, the Soviet plan was to stop the Americans at all costs. The standoff could've resulted in WWIII, with the USS Enterprise (nuclear-armed aircraft carrier) facing off against Soviet nuclear submarines and a missile frigate, if the Indians and Bengalis hadn't taken Dhaka just in time. Nobody commenting here would be alive if not for the courageous actions of the Indians and the Mukhti Bahini.
@@Indicthoughts898 Sounds like u r Sanghi too, same mentalities as the Pakis. The Muslims are not human to you. We are less than a cow. The Paki atrocities was aimed at Bengalis in general. Susan Brown Miller came to Bangladesh right after the war to investigate the vast extent of rapes and and wrote in her book Against Her Will - “Almost 80% of the victims were Muslims.” We, the Bengalis, Hindus and Muslims alike, were considered as sub-human by the Pakis. The late Indian writer Mulk Raj Anand said that the rapes were so systematic and pervasive that they had to be a part of conscious Army policy, “planned by the West Pakistanis in a deliberate effort to create a new race” or to “dilute Bengali nationalism”. We are eternally grateful to Srimati Indira Gandhi. One of the main culprits was USA. They fully supported Pakistan financially, morally and militarily. Nixon and war criminal Kissinger were two of main perpetrators.
As a Muslim and as a Pakistani, I am ashamed of all the atrocities our government and especially the military carried out on innocent civilians including the minorities. We violated almost every rule of law and the law of the creator of the world. Unfortunately, the rogue state of our establishment still exists today. With this mindset, Pakistan can never be successful.
As a fellow muslim and a Bangladeshi, we can safely say, the "so called leaders" and the ROTTEN HEARTED PEOPLE at that time were at fault. Wish we could've remained as one nation. However, Allah has different plan. Whether it be Jews, Muslims, Hindus or Christians, if anyone commits atrocities, TRUTH needs to come out regardless of their nationality or the faith they belong to. The fact that you acknowledged the TRUTH, you showed your pure heart. May Allah grant you success!
As an Indian bengali hindu (whose ancestors hailed from today's Bangladesh) it boils my blood that many in Bangladesh aided the Pakistani forces in carrying out this genocide, yet those razakars remained unpunished and enjoyed political freedom, wealth, lavish lifestyle post 1971 in Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Jamaat and BNP is filled with such filth, yet a sizeable section of Bangladesh supports such elements based on religious lines. Bengal is the land of culture, history and liberal thinking, yet these religious zealots keeps dividing us😢.
Bangladeshi Muslims and their families were being brainwashed by these razakaar huzurs since after the war ended that's why the support for bnp and zamaat ( modern razakars) are still somewhat Strong since the brainwashing has been passed down for generations. But the current government has a lot of support as well and the leaders of bnp zamaat are in jail so it's a relief
Ayoo keep ur hate of religion down awami legue is sugarcoated mass murder of its own ur talkin as if awami legue is doing anything gud for bd rn and boy oh boy india is helping bd watch sum non censored news first
I cannot understand the West's obsession with Pakistan , assisting them in a clearly atrocious power and land grab. The situation was extremely difficult for India as Bangladesh was a part of their "enemy", they desperately wanted to help but politically their hands were tied initially, Indira Gandhi got her act in gear very quickly to raise support for the oppressed people enabling India to move militarily which of course was a success but it took time and during that time the Pakistani military were enacting a genocide and still the West support Pakistan.
It's called politics...and it's a very dirty business. Some of what happened was known in Britain, but this was before the internet so the public had to rely on the BBC News basically. George Harrison (ex-Beatle) did record a track 'Bangladesh', in an attempt to highlight what was going on.
You should not punish a country for its past misdeeds. You have to hope that things are getting better. The greatest weapon the West has against extremism is education.
Study realpolitik and it becomes easy to understand. But far from justified unless you throw away morals entirely for a might is always right attitude.
The 1971 war . Members of the Pakistani military and supporting paramilitary forces killed an estimated 3,000,000 ( mostly Hindus ) and raped between 200,000 and 400,000 Bangladeshi women in a systematic campaign of genocidal rape. Pakistan's islamic leaders openly supported the crime by labelling Bengali freedom fighters "Hindus" and Bengali women "the booty of war" . Sad thing is many Bangladesh Islamists helped Pakistani army , the Bangladeshi traitors called themselves " razakar " which is an Arabic word that means volunteer . Recently a razakar named Hussain Saidi passed away but MOST Bangladeshi idolises him and denies the fact that he helped Pakistani army , cause he became a popular islamic Preacher after the war .
I have never felt bad about how the Israelites treat the Pakistani people as a punishment for what the Muslim faith has done to people around the world. They are not a religion of peace but a religion that demands dominance over all.
@@AverageHandEnjoyer-jp3xu I'm Bangladeshi . And religion is the reason India was devised in the first place . 90% of Indian Muslims voted for the partition . Now Bangladesh is much more radical than it was a decade ago because of radical preachers spreading hate towards non Muslim and posting the videos on Facebook and UA-cam .
Atleast stop converting hindus India loves Christian but if you go village by village and start converting illiterate tribals then you won't earn a good name I said beacuse I have seen this
Thanks to Indira Gandhi & Indians for standing up for Bangladesh . This was huge support (after watching the video ) for the freedom from Genocide of Bangladeshi😢
Just Imagine USA Sanctioned Indian for that and 3K Soldiers Died Yet India Showed The Brotherhood Its Not Religion And You must Understand Religion Only makes u fool
I dia helped Bangladesh so as to protect themselves from East Pakistan, which was a military threat to India; they helped Bangladesh just for their own security
This is actually so sad. as a Pakistani, our government and media always picks on any little violence occuring in occupied/disputed kashmir, even though the massacres committed here are so much, much more worse. I didn't even know this happened until I watched the video. Thank you so much for opening my eyes. Shame on this land we call "free" and where "everyone can live according to their beliefs".
Be a patriotic guy u fool . Yes we did crimes but others are no good too look at germans russians Americans indians in kunan poshpura. But non of them hates or curses themselves like Pakistanis have self respect
@@daathisone5459 they have a mandatory course called Mutala-e-Pakistan (Pakistan Studies) that apparently teaches them history, but that in reality is an extremely hateful textbook teaching heavily distorted history and narratives, religious hate and supremacy, spreading blatant anti-India and anti-Hindu sentiments, teaching weird fantasies and everything possible to indoctrinate young kids. The venom that you see in the Pakistani minds is because of what they are fed in schools since their childhood. I could not believe when I first saw excerpts of their history textbook. We in India should be proud of the fact that our school curricula are so clean and that whatever little we are taught surrounding Indo-Pakistani stuff exactly matches what we see on the internet. For over 5 decades, the Pakistani military and government have done everything possible to justify the creation and existence of Pakistan and create an impression that the very existence of Pakistan is under constant threat from India and that India wants to capture Pakistan. Pakistan Studies is the most successful project in that direction.
As a Bangladeshi I am grateful to Indian people, Indian army and prime minister Indira Gandhi for unwavering support for our independence. May Allah bless India.
As a Pakistani I am also grateful to India and ashamed of our military. Indira Gandhi was a role model and our military still performs the same acts on its own people to this day. Thank Imran Khan for opening the eyes of the masses
Well it's shameless for us when we see so many Bangladesh people still support Pakistanis and hate india. And Bangladesh people say why India came to help us we didn't ask for any help muktibahini already secured the victory... Bro the big problem is not Bangladeshi people actually it's Muslim people who just don't want to accept the truth. How can muktibahini secure the victory, Pakistan army arrest the muktibahini leader he was inside the jail. When the Pakistan army started big mascara and rape... 10 million refugees take shelter in our indian land. That means Bangladesh already lost the war. And how the hell Bangladesh will win the war against Pakistan army that time Bangladesh didn't have his own army Read about the news in 1971 when an Indian airplane got hijacked at kashmir Srinagar to Pakistan Lahore. The mission completed by India RAW Agent. And that airplane helps a lot with Bangladesh victory I'm sure nobody knew about this Pakistani army were planned to carry out 100 fighter planes and more war equipment from Pakistan to East Pakistani... So the Pakistanis army could fight Bangladesh people easily.. But the India hijacked airplane already blocked the Pakistan airport.. and the India government blocked the Indian air way for Pakistan. That's the reason Pakistan failed to provide more supply to the Pakistanis army who are fighting with Bangladesh. Later the Indian army joined the war and started training the muktibahini and Bangladesh people... How to Fight with the army.... That's how Bangladesh got victory And all the credit goes to the Indian agent mastermind and vikrant airship. Agar Pakistan ko 100 fighter planes ka support mil jata toh India bhi Bangladesh ko victory nhi. De pata.... English kamjor hai asha karta hoon samjh aayga.. Hijacked airplane ka movie bhi release hua hai...1971.. name se.. and puri real event article bhi hai padhlo
This hits close to home. My grandparents and my uncle fled and took refuge in India during the outbreak of the genocide. The stories my grandparents used to tell felt too bizzare to be true. How their friends, families and neighbours were murdered, how they fled leaving behind everything they had built up all their lives to come settle in a totally unknown land make up for such heart wrenching stories.
@@saadilyas990 obviously you dumbass wont ever acknowledge the efforts and sacrifice of Indian forces, Indian intervention helped Bangladeshis more than India could be benefitted.

I remember this conflict. I was still at school in 1971 and read about it in the newspapers and watched it on the news on TV. There was also a terrible outbreak of cholera in the many refugee camps. Absolutely heartbreaking.
It is almost 52 years. You must be around 60 or more. It is a mature age.

As a Bangladeshi, I will never forgive Pakistan. My Great Grandfather was a veteran of 1971 he lost his younger brother in the war. I'm grateful to India for stepping up for us.
As a pakistani, i am sorry for your loss, living in pakistan rn sucks and they brainwash us since birth. I hate living on this cursed land under cursed leaders. Love you bro
My grandfather was a veteran too, he served for Pakistan. He described being in jail for the 3 years in Dhaka after we had lost. He described that the Indians kept them well treated and etc. We honestly deserved that defeat, we were inhumane and needed a humbling. I am pretty sure he was not involved in the atrocities because he was a logistical officer. Hope Bangladesh the best in the future. Love from Pakistan💚
Yeah… my great uncle was a soldier as well in East Pakistan. He used to tell me about what the other soldiers were doing. Especially to those they considered traitors. He said everything in their mind was justified because these people were committing treason against the state. Honestly, Pakistan has holocaust level blood on her hands, and the only reason its not as well-known is because the victims were brown.
Winners write the history No doubt West Pakistani did injustice with East Pakistanis (Bengalis) but 20000 rape allegation and accusation of other war crime is highly exaggerated . Winner historians counted the crimes of MUKTI BAHANI against Pro Pak bengalis and West Pakistanis on West's Army . Also sheikh mujeeb was always a ethno nationalist, he planned it well and the west PK gave him reasons and help his cause. BTW Bengalis have had historically betrayed Mir Siraj ud doula against the British Empire which later led to Annexation of sub continent into British empire for next 100year. They betrayed their own brothers in 1971 with the help of hindu bengalis and indian army . Guess what Bhutos Sheikhs And Gandis involve in 71 are rotting in hell . KARMA !!!
I am glad you showed this video. When this was going on, the west was largely silent. US, because of its strategic interests, was Pakistan’s ally and largest supplier of arms. It too turned a blind eye. Infact the US sent an Aircraft Carrier fleet to the Indian ocean in support of Pakistan! Indian Foreign Minister is right when he says that “the west feels its problems are the world’s problems, but the world’s problems are not its!” It was India’s intervention that lead to Pakistan’s surrender. 91,000 of its troops surrendered and were in Indian jails. This was the largest surrender after the second world war!
I knew about this from chatting with an elderly Hindu taxi driver in Bristol. No one else in the UK knows about it. This is history that has been put down the memory hole probably in the name of "Community Cohesion". I gave him a big tip.
No, people are getting on with their lives and don't feel the need to fight battles from the past they didn't live through. Only those with partisan agendas seek to disrupt community cohesion
ITS BECAUSE THE UK CREATED BANGLADESH (THEN CALLED EAST PAKISTAN) AND THE WEST PAKISTAN SO THEY COULD TAKE BACK INDIA AGAIN SOME DAY SO IT WASNT IN UK's INTEREST AT ALL TO POTRAY INDIA IN GOOD LIGHT AND PAKISTAN IN BAD ONE COZ AFTERALL UK SUPPORTS PAKISTAN VEHEMENTLY . THERE IS A REASON WHY PAKISTANI POPULATION IS SO HIGH IN UK . ITS BECAUSE PAKISTAN WAS CREATED TO EVENTUALLY ENSLAVE INDIA AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF PAKISTANS (EAST PAKISTAN WHICH BECAME BANGLADESH AND WEST PAKISTAN WHICH IS JUST PAKISTAN NOW ) IN CASE YOU DOUBT IT CHECK THE GEOGRAPHY OF ALL 3 COUNTRIES INDIA PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH (EAST PAKISTAN) , IF you have common sense you will be able to tell how cleverly the uk sandwiched India from both sides . P.S U.K DID THIS TO A LOT OF COUNTRIES SO THERE IS NO PEACE EVER , COZ THE MOTTO ALWAYS WAS AND STILL IS TO DIVIDE AND RULE
Because uk supported Pakistan in this part of history and even sent their biggest neval fleat to attack India alongside with usa which was stopped by USSR in the Indian Ocean still the war ended
Thank you for recognizing our history of suffering and independence. As a Bangladeshi, I believe our historical journey is not widely acknowledged. Efforts like yours play a significant role, and I appreciate it immensely.
Ironically India is blamed for persecution of Muslims, where Muslim population grew from 9% to 15%. While in Pakistan, Hindu population decreased from 14% to 2%, and from 28% to 8% in Bangladesh.
I had a college chum from Bangladesh. He said during the war of liberation that Pakistanis called Bangladeshis who wanted independence "kafirs". The Pakistan Army committed heinous atrocities like rape and dropping babies into boiling cauldrons--truly horrifying and heinous crimes.
Pakistan as a country has been indulging in annexation, terrorism, genocide, rapes, wars from day one. And it has been able to do so because of support from US and China. But every society always faces the consequences of its actions. Sooner or later Pakistanis will suffer for what their leaders have done to others. Thanks for the video. There are not many videos about this genocide.
In short, obliterate US... Why... Support Pakistan in Genocide against minorities, vulnerable, women & children, humanity.. -> US The only Nukes to be used on humans- 2 of them ...-> US Take part in war crimes in Vietnam, Afg, Irq.. -> US Along with radical Islam, US is right at the top as the most Terroristic nation threatening peace on Earth. "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya Hall, Dhaka University. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their heels from fans".
Why will Pakistani's suffer because of their "leaders" when most Pakistani's are against what happened. WAL'IYAADHU BILLAH! May Allah have mercy on the Ummah!!!

You Indians were a good human you had only a common enemy, the colony of British who love to divide you against each other, not to live in peace and they enjoy seeing less than you to live and take your wealth and your resource, where ever read the history of European come to other peoples land they never keep you healthy educated also safe just keep you against each other as a gang by a different name, Muslim Hindu, or white or dalit or Parsi, and many other name or woman against man, or socialist against capitalist or others, so you all are were slave of system colony called Divide and conquer and kept their army safe only used you as Armey for their war, also this was an Indian man who fights for the colony to destroy Ottman Empire who were Muslim and divide the Middle East between each other French, British, and Russia, took all the land and India divide as Pakistan, west or east who called now Bangladesh,
Change to other religion bro, you grandfather probably wanted that, extremist muslims can't live you peacefully that's why he came here. He was a smart guy
19:05 “Rest of the world’s sympathy faded once the massacres left the headlines” Irony is that todays generation of Bangladesh is oblivious of these atrocities or at least tries to remain oblivious. They don’t want those perpetrators to be held accountable, for the sake of their Muslim brotherhood. Forgiving is one thing but forgetting your past just shows how weak one is.
Bangladesh will also become like Pakistan one day and then they'll come running to us HINDUS for financial aid. And then we'll kick their ass bcoz we ain't fool, we know their true dirty Islamic ideology in and out. Even indian muslims are also same- intolerant, jihadi and terrorists
What amazes me is that the rest of the world tried to stop some Muslims from killing other Muslims. Yet Muslim caliphates and countries have been committing atrocities against each other for nearly 1400 years to the world's advantage.
I'm a Bengali Hindu ...we face this attrocities even today. Their target always was the Hindus and the muslims who have hindu influence on them . What u have described is less .... We don't have right to eat and drink in front of them in their Ramazan fast. If any muslim eat in a hindu resturant during Ramazan, muslim group attack the restaurant and the hindu family, saying why do we Hindu.. offered him / her food and water. God protects and guide us . 🕉️🙏 Om Shanti Om
Why don't you come to India? There are so many asshole Muslim Bangladeshi who enter India illegally on a daily basis.. why don't all Hindus come here??
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾 Prayers out for those trying to recover from the passing of their loved ones 🕊️ Prayers out for those trying to recover from trauma 🕊️
Bangladeshis today have a section that is sympathetic to Pakistan. Islam is a binding factor which has convinced a significant number of Bangladeshis that sharing religion is more important than friendship. Pakistan has killed 3 million Bangladeshis but if u did a poll among Bangladeshi folks they will still prefer Pakistan over India despite india helping them and it’s because india isn’t an Islamic country and is seen as a country of unbelievers. This is a lesson for my fellow Americans that we also have Muslims among us and one of the worst is ilhan Omar. Her loyalties are all for Islam than loyalty to America. She chose to embrace Islamist countries as her foreign policy. Thankfully she was kicked of our foreign affairs committee
Not true. Hindus of India have actively ensured Bangladeshi.muslims mend their strained relationship with Pakistan even if that comes at the cost of Bangladeshi Hindus. Indian Hindus were responsible for initiation and forcing of two nation theory and now they should not wash their hands off that divide and rule policy.
@@ABO-DestinyAre you drunk or something? Muslim League was the one who came up with the idea of a separate Islamic nation, which has been documented as far as early 1930s. Also do a bit research on what led to the liberation of Bangladesh. Anyone is pretending to be an expert these days😑.
The uncomfortable truth: Pakistan's genocide of Bengalis is not recognized because 1. Pakistan was (and is) a US ally and received help from US during the genocide in the form of military aid and threatening to nuke India if it intervened 2. Bengalis tend to be dark-skinned and thus received less sympathy from the Western world due to racism. The genocide itself was rooted in racism of light-skinned Pakistanis against the darker Bengalis 3. Hindus (and Muslims who were perceived to be influenced by Hindu culture) were targeted in particular by the Pakistani army for genocide, as indicated in their own military records, and since they are thought of as "idol worshippers" and "polytheists", they didn't receive sympathy from neither the Christian countries nor the Islamic countries in the world
West isn’t racist as you think they just don’t care unless the TV tells them to care. That’s why they care about Ukraine and not the hundreds of other conflicts they aren’t racists they are just do whatever the media says.
No countries considered it as war of religion, except for Pakistan and the Arab world. Western countries wanted to do business, they never cared about anyone from a third world country. And a lot of people think it was just hindu and muslim.... No it's not. There were people from other religious beliefs as well who suffered. Bangladeshi christians, buddhists suffered as well. But as they were minority even then, no one even thinks that they really did exist back then. In our village there's a Christian community, they made a safe place for mukti bahini. They used to sleep at night at our houses and eat there some times. The villagers also locked up some razakars that the mukti bahini had caught. Do you really think people of Bangladesh really cared about who believes in which religion at that situation ? Absolutely not.
my father was in east bengal regiment soldier. he was in pakistani concentration camp . everyday they beat him up while tide his hand on his back for last months. he broke his rib cage and lost his vision . he was only 17 years old
The first simultaneous attacks came on what was then known as Iqbal Hall, a student dormitory and Jagannath Hall of Dhaka University. It may be mentioned here that Jagannath Hall is exclusively meant for non-Muslim students, particularly Hindus and Iqbal Hall's residents were mostly members and supporters of the then East Pakistan Student League , a student wing of Awami League. We, therefore, notice that although most young men and to some extent young women too, were the targets of attack by the Pakistani Army and their auxiliary forces , the first attack on the students were also very much target oriented. The massacre on the 25th March actually began from Dhaka University. After dormitories have been shelled at a point blank range , any students remaining alive were shot or bayoneted to death. Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan , the official historian of Pakistan Army wrote: The army had to use rocket launchers to break open some rooms of the hall. The correspondent from the British newspaper Daily Telegraph , Simon Dring reported on March 30, " Led by the American supplied M-24 World War II tanks, one column of troops sped to Dacca University shortly after midnight. Troops took over the British Council Library ( situated within the campus) and used it as a fire base from which to shell nearby dormitories areas. Caught completely by surprise some 200 students were killed in Iqbal Hall, Headquarters of militant anti-government student union, I was told. Two days later, bodies were still smouldering in burnt -out rooms others were scattered outside, more floated in a nearby lake." But this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to Jagannath Hall and the erstwhile Iqbal Hall, students of all ages , irrespective of their religious or gender identity were killed, tortured or at the least humiliated. Students were considered as the harbinger of the Independence Movement f 1971 and hence they were the principle target of murder and atrocities in 1971. Neither gender nor age was a factor in deterring the perpetrators of war crime from committing atrocities and murder .Female students were not spared either. In this context it is very important to note that female students too were subject to equal subjugation and torture by the Pakistani Army. On March 30, 1971, the American Consul General in Dhaka, Archer Blood, sent a telegram to the State Department recounting the Pakistani atrocities in Dhaka. In it he wrote about the massacre at Rokeya Hall at Dhaka University where, according to Blood, the building was "set ablaze and girls machine-gunned as they fled the building." On March 31, 1971, Archer Blood sent another telegram which recounted atrocities against girls. Blood wrote: "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya Hall, Dacca U. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their heels from fans." Small notes they may be ,but they bear a very big footmark of the atrocities of the Pakistani Army and their collaborators in crime. It may be mentioned that during the early days of Operation Searchlight Pakistani army killed students instantaneously by shooting or by launching rockets in the dorms. But when the dorms were emptied and the surviving students fled this Operation Searchlight intensified and was extended even to remote villages. Students were rarely shot at sight, on the other hand they were caught , interrogated if they had links with the Freedom Fighters or Mukti Bahini and even if they had not any link or it was not proven , the innocent students were tortured and slowly killed.
As a Pakistani I appreciate this very much. Our youth needs to understand our past and know who the real criminals are in this country and who brought us shame and humiliation, they are still in control and have continued with the same evil they unleashed on the Bangalis. Also I'd appreciate if you consider the condition of Bihari people in Bangladesh. They are facing the same evil Bangalis sought freedom from.
So true. No country really tells their future generations their own sins. Ashamed of our community for not bringing issues like this to light. These men are evil.
Your support for Imran Khan and hate against current military establishment is justified but you can't overlook history due to your emotions. These numbers are highly exaggerated and would be called a fallacy compared to the real history. It's only to fuel hate against Pakistan by endia and benefits Sheikh hasina's political goals. Sheikh hasina regime's atrocities against pro-Pakistani Bengalis are much worse than what Pakistan has done to them and it's going on till to this date. Search about how they are still hanging Islamic and political leaders who were in support of united Pakistan. She and her father were ethno-nationalist and they benefitted from unequal treatment by Pakistan. Bangladesh is under severe dictatorship of Sheikh's family. But we Pakistanis are too stupid in hate against our govt that we are drenching in self hate.
@@Head_Quarterso93 You are next level brain washed. 😂😂😂 Calling India endia. Really aren't you guys past that till now? Your country is on the brink of economic collapse. Stop trying to hate on India and fix your country. Part of the solution is accepting the problem. Otherwise you'll stay the failed state that you guys are, going from IMF to Saudi to UAE, begging. Have some pride. This is one happens when a country is built on hatred and terrorism. Accept and learn from your history, look at Germany now. It was bankrupt after the World Wars. It accepted its mistakes and they are better for it. I hope Pakistan pulls itself up. Not only is it embarrassing but also dangerous. A country with no tea or rice but a ton of nuclear weapons. Awesome 🙄
@@halfdome4158why getting pissed off when being confronted with facts earlier I use to think it was US deep state which is evil bit slowly I understand its drenched in the psyche of its people
It was India who stood for Bangladesh....yet Bangladeshis are committing horrible atrocities against Hindus and liberals/secular Bangladeshis are silent over this issue. Neither the government or their leadership is serious about this issue.
Never trust Pakistan and Bangladesh. Never expect any positive from them in future. Build your army, build an economy which is independent from Pakistan, Bangladesh, China and middle East.
As a granddaughter of a Freedom Fighter, this is quite accurate and well put together. I am living to see the day my grandfather's courage and passion is internationally recognized, and the awareness of this genocide becomes global. I, my mother, her two younger brothers and my grandfather's many sisters are all waiting for the day the actual brutality of the genocide and the weight of their actions finally fall on the shoulders of the Pakistan government. Not owning up to the mass genocide they caused cannot be categorized as anything but cowardly.
@@omnipresent1215why is it hard to be proud Pakistani??? I’m very proud to have Pakistani heritage. We can make videos like this on almost all western countries. The atrocities by western countries are the most dreadful, but I don’t hear anyone in England or America, French , Dutch saying they are not proud.
It would be a guilt ridden pride based on such intentioned ancestry with a documented record. This cannot be minimized by comparing to other evils, since self pride is a personal innate quality.
@@satyasingh5953 So sadly true Satya. When I think of the MILLIONS (billions?) of women who were as much as FORCED to become Muslim through unwanted 'marriages' and pregnancies it breaks my heart. It's a known fact around the world that even to this day, you marry a Muslim, you have pretty much no option. You WILL also become a Muslim. Consider for a moment how many people were originally Hindu (and many others) but are now Muslim. Extremely unfortunate and unforgivable.
@@omnipresent1215 What species are you. And yet girls are falling in love with muslims day in day out. You feel they are all idiots. Listen, Genghis Khan and mongols spread their genetic trait much widely than any muslim or muslims had ever done in the world, they destroyed the centers of middle east, its culture and probably its people for ever, why dont you refer to the mongols? The hunas did the same thing in eastern europe and central asia. Why not mention them fir a change. And who knows it could have been the Aryans who had caused demise of indus valley civilisation , why not them. The great king of India Ashoka killed all his 100 brothers to get to the throne, why not mention him. The kalinga war resulted in more percentage of indian deaths than mongol expansion, ww2 or ww1, why not mention that. Your hindu brothers had raped and killed women in gujrat , including those pregnant, why not mention them. You people are not suited to appear holy, because you are not, you people are the source of problems , it is absolutely visible in your behaviours and appearances, no matter how much people might try to fight with the mirror, history is never extinguished. People receives result of their actions sooner or later.
As a Pakistani American, I applaud India and Bangladesh for liberating their people from genocide. Humans are humans first! No matter what color, religion, or ethnicity.
Sir, US is still a kind of ally with Pakistan. Nothing is more important than National Interest in geo-politics which, as a geo-politics enthusiast, i totally understand.
And that's how you spread democracy, not by force but by lending them a hand. Proud of my Indian army. Also to my Pak friends who are still saying things like "india will break". "The last time an Indian aircraft carrier went out to the seas in anger, it changed the map. Don't think it can't happen again if needed". -a wise man. But, the recent trend worries me. In bangladesh, people are getting brainwashed in the name of Islam. The new generation doesn't see india as a friend, even after everything india hev done for Bangladesh, and is still doing. As a Indian bengali it is really shity.
There is no difference between the ideology of an average Pakistani youngster and a Bangladeshi one. Talked to both, saw no difference. Oh, and the average Joe from both countries consider each other as brethren. (especially the Bangladeshi women. Don't ask me why) Not surprised.
It doesn't matter if the Bangladeshis see us in a good light to secretly arm & train the Mukti Bahini and finally liberate them or not, but what matters is that India is surrounded by 2 radi cali sed nations and 1 un reasonable dicta torship. bleh.
@@eighthprotagonist the matters are fucked. Well we can count on bangladesh to not attack us in a war, given it would only take like a month, until they will surrender. But the main problems are pak and china. But, the threat from pak is decreasing day by day. So the major power who can be called a threat to india, is china as of now.
@@eighthprotagonist the current ruling party of bangladesh, still have a neutral stance on pak, india, china matter. But the opposition is totally supportive of China and pro pak. That what fears me, if the opposition wins in the comming days, it could be a very bad situation for india. Getting sorrounded by two radicle nations and one mindless dictatorship, is not a very good place .
@@rickgolder6818 Why do you have to assume that your country's conflicts with other countries must be solved with violence, I thought India prized peace
This was mostly aimed at wiping out the Hindu population even though Muslims of Bangladesh opposed Pak rule. Its estimated upto 3million was killed. To date, Pakistan continues to send terrorists to India and unfortunately the world leaders seem to favour Pak over India(as India is slowly emerging despite being enslaved by British & Islamic foces for 100s of years, which West sees as a threat). The western media too is very enthusiastic to paint India and Hindus as some sort of "demonic far right Nazi" just because India doesnt want to retain its ancient Hindu identity.
The brittish powers are very nefarious. Look how they flood the island with those Muslims who are destroying the place. I personally prefer to have hindu and Sikh in Britain.
You mentioned, "word leaders seem to favour Pak over India...". I'm not sure how you have this impression, but the opposite is actually true. Despite having differences on certain issues, European and American leadership certainly favor India. Terrorism by Pakistan is far less than what it use to be, and this has allowed the Indian side of Kashmir to become prosperous. People in PoK are actually protesting to join India! And Pak journalists have admitted India is far ahead economically.
@uppercrust400 western world world is currently favouring India for lot of reason. Pakistan is a blown terrorist state. China is threatening the west. Gulf are becoming more neutral. West wants a power in Asia that could have good ties with them. Now they are like...oh india is democracy..democracies have to stick together. The west didn't see us a democracy when military ruling pakistan-west's ally massacred 3million bengali hindus and raped 400000 bengali hindu women were raped in present bangladesh in 1970s. Us and british actually tried to nuke india for fighting against Pakistan. No one from Pakistan got convicted for the genocide they caused till now. Us stopped being Pakistan close ally only 9/11(your own problem..not for india's sake). I could tell you a million instances that west helped pakistan over india. And, what did you get in return-9/11..so, india will never be an ally to the west..its jsut a strategic partnership
As a Bangladeshi Muslim 🫡 salute to our true friends who support us to right time as we proud to say we are bengals doesn’t matter Hindu or Muslim we are real brother… you will never forgetting ❤
It hurts when Bangladeshis hate India and deny our assistance. They are more friendly with the enemy of India like Pakistan and China. Even they leave nothing to demean our country. It really hurts. They forgot that once they were also called Indians.
@marketeer813 that is not true, muslims are taught respect towards everyone, and if u talk to me about pakistanis, that's some sought of personal beefs you have for each other and i don't know how you will solve it, but it has nothing to do with muslims . So if a bengali muslim is being friendly with your "enemy" who turns out to be Muslim, you shouldn't hate it
@@mbarakjabry7634 That's why hindu population numbers have drastically dropped in Bangladesh and went almost extinct in Pakistan while Muslim population in India continues to grow? Is that your respect for Hindus?. Do you provide any reason for that? And if we hated muslims, Hindu Mahasabha wouldn't be rooting for unified India in 1947 (though I believe that did good the other way)
This is the first time I have heard about this. This is so sad and Pakistan has a lot of blood on their hands that can not be washed away. There is a price that will have to be paid for all those innocent people that were killed. As a country, they should be ashamed of themselves.
They r paying now. There country is a basketcase and the state is slowly disintegrating. Btw after thrown out of Bangladesh they r doing the same thing to their Baloch population they r looting the resources of baluchistan while keeping the indigenous Baloch in poverty
@@addyred1861 Most Balochis are very patriotic they are indigenous Pakistanis they are more Pakistani than the many Indian Muslims who migrated after partition you must understand India does not like head to head conflict like Pakistan they are the ones leading and supporting this whole Baloch movement for years only about 5% of Baloch actually want a separatist state the rest obv want to be with their home country

As a Pakistani, I have never held as much contempt as I hold for the Pakistani army. Corrupt and evil to its core. I’m glad some Pakistanis are finally seeing them for what they truly are and moving past blind fanatic following - although it might be too little too late. I was not aware of the scale of atrocities against Bangladesh. I’m so happy Bangladesh is developing into a prosperous country, it deserves every last bit of this success.

Ironically some surveys in Bangladesh shows that they love Pakistan more than India because of the religion. It made me think that brave Indian soldiers sacrifice were for nothing. Religion can blind people into understanding who are friends and who are enemies.
Yea 3000+ indian soldiers died in the war and also india was heavily sanctioned by west after the war. But still the Indian army is the example of unity in diversity. The indian army general who lead indian army to Bangladesh was general J.F.R Jacob who was a Indian jew & the field marshal of indian army was Sam Manekshaw who was a indian Zoarastrian & the commander in chief of indian army was Jagjit Singh Arora who was a indian Sikh. I mean 1971 war was such a beautiful example of India's religious diversity in it's army
Forget history and you are doomed to repeat it. I'm curious is this taught in Bangladeshi history books? Can any Bangladeshis confirm if India's role in their independence is taught?

This is almost forgotten in the UK. I was a student at that time, and I can't forget the photographs of the massacres and executions. You couldn't show them on this channel. It is forgotten that this is the reason that the term "P@ki" became derogatory (pak had in fact meant pure in both Persian and Pashto), and prejudice against Pakistanis became strong for nearly a decade in England.
They (brits) have forgotten easily because it is shameful act of partition of Brits. History will not forget you. The same act you have done about Palestine and Israel and run away.
@@sanjayvhawal2404 Er... look up the dates. Pakistan was self-governing, just as its politicians had desired - and this is what THEY did. You are in denial.

"Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?

This is beyond repulsive. As an American I have worked with several Indians who have been coming to my country for jobs since at least the early 80’s. I never really understood the resentment towards Pakistanis until now. The British left a vacuum when they stepped away, much like America has done in Afghanistan. No one should endure the brutality that the people of Bangladesh have suffered.

Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan , the official historian of Pakistan Army wrote: The army had to use rocket launchers to break open some rooms of the hall. The correspondent from the British newspaper Daily Telegraph , Simon Dring reported on March 30, " Led by the American supplied M-24 World War II tanks, one column of troops sped to Dacca University shortly after midnight. Troops took over the British Council Library ( situated within the campus) and used it as a fire base from which to shell nearby dormitories areas. Caught completely by surprise some 200 students were killed in Iqbal Hall, Headquarters of militant anti-government student union, I was told. Two days later, bodies were still smouldering in burnt -out rooms others were scattered outside, more floated in a nearby lake." But this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to Jagannath Hall and the erstwhile Iqbal Hall, students of all ages , irrespective of their religious or gender identity were killed, tortured or at the least humiliated. Students were considered as the harbinger of the Independence Movement f 1971 and hence they were the principle target of murder and atrocities in 1971. Neither gender nor age was a factor in deterring the perpetrators of war crime from committing atrocities and murder .Female students were not spared either. In this context it is very important to note that female students too were subject to equal subjugation and torture by the Pakistani Army. On March 30, 1971, the American Consul General in Dhaka, Archer Blood, sent a telegram to the State Department recounting the Pakistani atrocities in Dhaka. In it he wrote about the massacre at Rokeya Hall at Dhaka University where, according to Blood, the building was "set ablaze and girls machine-gunned as they fled the building." On March 31, 1971, Archer Blood sent another telegram which recounted atrocities against girls. Blood wrote: "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya Hall, Dacca U. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their heels from fans." Small notes they may be ,but they bear a very big footmark of the atrocities of the Pakistani Army and their collaborators in crime. It may be mentioned that during the early days of Operation Searchlight Pakistani army killed students instantaneously by shooting or by launching rockets in the dorms. But when the dorms were emptied and the surviving students fled this Operation Searchlight intensified and was extended even to remote villages. Students were rarely shot at sight, on the other hand they were caught , interrogated if they had links with the Freedom Fighters or Mukti Bahini and even if they had not any link or it was not proven , the innocent students were tortured and slowly killed. .

Please what they did to INDIANS during partition was worse , and btw in this particular geno.cide of bangladeshi hindus ,your country was the backbone and pillar on which pakistanis did all this
I was a teenager in the UK at the time and didn’t realise this was occurring. The video makes me feel ignorant, tearful and embarrassed as a human being. The atrocities that occurred are gut wrenching.
Well Brits were largely responsible for this mess. They sucked every rupee out of the country, made us fight your wars (WW1&WW2) Theyleft in haste and divided the country without any serious thought to save their arse when Ajad Hind Fauj sparked the final uprising in India against the brutal colonisers. As per official data, uk caused more deaths in India than Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin did in Europe combined. I bet you were not taught this in your school as well.
Thank you for this educational video. And thank God for India helping Bangladesh to defeat Pakistan and end the evil acts they were doing at that time.
ALTHOUGH HE MISSED A LOT ON HIS DOCUMENTARY..lemme gave you an lil example... A writer in BANGLADESH,seen a 6 y/o girl who's orgasms was splitted and scattered...A hungry dog was eating it...AND AS FAR AS I REMEMBER IN history class...there was a lack where Pakistani soldiers intentionally throws EYES of PEOPLE..the lack was full of blood and eyes...this lack still exists called "choker hrid"(lack of eyes),. INTERESTING MYTH,RIGHT?
One correction about a misstatement in the very first sentence, “The British thought that such a division between India and Pakistan would minimize religious conflict.” The British ruled subcontinent based on divide et impera and promoted divisions based on anything that they could think of. They knew very well that leaving this region in a state where these two countries keep fighting each other would be in their best interests.
The only Nukes to be used on humans- 2 of them ...-> US Support Pakistan in Genocide against minorities, vulnerable, women & children, humanity.. -> US Take part in war crimes in Vietnam, Afg, Irq.. -> US Along with radical Islam, US is right at the top as the most Terroristic nation threatening peace on Earth.
You conveniently skipped the part where US, England and allies sent their naval fleet lead by USS Enterprise to help Pakistan navy against India, but thankfully USSR came to India's help and chased the fleet away
The first simultaneous attacks came on what was then known as Iqbal Hall, a student dormitory and Jagannath Hall of Dhaka University. It may be mentioned here that Jagannath Hall is exclusively meant for non-Muslim students, particularly Hindus and Iqbal Hall's residents were mostly members and supporters of the then East Pakistan Student League , a student wing of Awami League.

India needed no help. Bangladesh (East Pakistan) was 2200 km away from mainland Pakistan. There was no way any country could hang on this far away. All you had to do was march to the Bay of Bengal, and even then you still couldn’t do it. Still doesn’t matter, India-Russia ‘relationship’ is pointless since Russia only uses India for its own interest
@@maazc081 oh yeah, we didn't need any help to liberate Bangladesh from Pakistani oppression. The USSR help was keep other countries away. Rest, we took care of ourselves
The English are themselves reciting their history putting all blame on Pakistan.. and silently deleting their own evil history.. this why you see them showing this half truth
I was 20 and in the Royal Navy when this happened, the images that were shown were horrific. I was too young and ignorant to understand why it happened back then. Thank you for this.
Lols then u should dig into this more as UK, USA supported paksitan int hsi even by send ing their warships against India for helping Bangladesh 😀. Had to face Russia unfortunately, it might be hidden as usualy this history like the rest of the stories
@@Prajwal88Rai You should also enjoy the hidden stories exposed by Field Marshel Maneksha (Interview to BBC) and PM Moodi (Confessional Speech in Bangladesh in 2021).
Some Muslim population from India support other Muslim majority countries like Turkey, Arab, Pakistan etc etc feel like they are their brothers or their own country and I am speaking this from real life experience. But there are enough history lessons to teach us that Muslim brotherhood only exists when their political agendas align, if they don’t align,Muslims massacre Muslims without any problem. I still hope the religion based politics in South East Asia may end someday…
I appreciate your efforts of bringing the truth and spreading the awareness. I am bengali and born a decade after Bangladesh was formed but I heard from my father that how this war had inhuman suffering to both side of bengal. And how are we still facing the consequences of partition.Thank you so much.

Please read the real history. Pakistan army's negative actions are exaggerated while the role of India in provoking the tensions. The real genocide was by India
Wow, I knew things were messy in the years after partition but this is truly horrific. Thank you for bringing light to this history but now I need a drink because damn this one was dark.
My aunt's family used to live in Dhaka, when Pak army attacked East Pakistan, they left home and country in one cloth, walking by foot entered India as refugee, though lost two members of family, one was a female teenager, who was raped and killed later. Still their family is not out of that trauma. Sad thing is current many Bangladeshis praise Pakistan, and ignore the sacrifices made by Mukti Bahini. Morever in recent past I met one Banglashi man living abroad , he said Pak (Khan sena) Army did a good job wiping out Kafers (means Hindus like me). Those who has shocking past like my relatives it is like double atrocity on them, today I feel its cultural and religious genocide
as a Muslim bangladeshi i feel ashamed tht some bangladeshis still do tht. bengali Hindus are my brothers/sisters we are same people same dna . to me it doesnt matter what u believe in bcuz that matters only to God hinself.
As bangladeshi, i feel that our country lost its own aims. Our national leaders started the journey to make this country Liberal, for all, economical and politically free. But now it seems like most of the dream are far away! There are still people who openly support Pakistani, only just of religion! I’m also a Muslim but I’m not dumb enough to support pak only because of religion!
@@Dodlo32888 not only did pak army genocided Bengali Hindus but also some Muslim Bengalis.still,many Bangladeshi Muslims are becoming supporters of Pakistan.they are being misguided by some radical force . it's happening in India too in lighter version.both are harmful.hope God or nature gives us common sense and harmony
I suggest that Bangladesh takes Pakistani perpetrators to the international court of justice just as Nazi officers were. Pakistan has not been taught a lesson yet.
My Nana and 12 other civilians were murdered by the Pak army back in 1971. They were tied up and shot. The bodies were festering, it was only a few days later when people returned to the village they were able to bury them. My Nani was left to raise 6 kids by herself. My mum deprived of a father.
I’m so sorry that happened. It’s so frustrating to me how hard someone can work and get massacred brutally just because a war occurred. If god is good why hasn’t he punished humanity? I want to see these regimes cry at their extinction, just as they made others feel.
@@mikloridden8276 Oh but they have. Look at the state of PK now. In the 60's their per capita income was higher than India and on par with South Korea. Now it's lower than Bangladesh's. In 1970 west PK did nothing to help east PK (Bangladesh) during cyclone Bhola. Call it karma but PK had experienced massive flooding in 2010 & 2022, total devastation on both occasions. Not to mention spiralling inflation and rapidly depreciating currency. Need I even mention the violence and terrorism that plague that nation. To split from PK was a huge blessing for BD. Despite the ongoing poverty, progress is being made in the right direction.
@@sidkings Well I guess there’s a silver lining. I hope those floods affected Pakistani veterans of that conflict. Do you think any members that participated in the war were hit?
Very Well Analyzed and Deeply Disturbing. Had India not stepped in, one cannot fathom what would have been the fate of Bangladeshis is anyone's guess. Many thanks from Canada!
Indias govt. stepped in to protect its sovereignty, not because it gave a hoot about the Bengali people, it doesn’t care for the hundreds of millions living in slums and below the poverty line within India, let alone its neighbours…
Aa an Indian i have to say this. We had to support Bangladesh because we wanted a peaceful neighborhood... millions of refuges coming into India was not conducive. We were a huge population left all by ourselves after Independence, plundered by the West. This West supported Pakistan and Pakistan fought four wars with India. India had to survive and we survived. India has schemes for the poor. My father could not finish high school, but, today both his daughters are Doctors, one a US citizen, who helped fight the covid crisis in the US. So, yes many Indians are poor but we are developing. We have our internal issues, but a westerner, with his/her myopic view, shouldn't comment on India. Tell me one reason why the US supported Pakistan all along?
Correction: In this video, there is an error in the map presentation where Kashmir is depicted entirely within Pakistan. We apologize for this oversight and any confusion it may have caused. Kashmir is a region that has been a subject of dispute between India and Pakistan. We value accuracy and strive to present information as objectively as possible.
Thanks for clarifying that, I was just about to comment.
I'm glad you made that clear!
What a totally One sided biased totally Cr@@py video

You are not fooling anyone ( but fools)
You should correct the map. Kashmir is an integral part of India and not an unresolved status.
Thanks for acknowledging this. A pool of youtubers fee that proper representation of maps is beneath them or just ignore the very people they are making videos for. Unwitting indians click on the clickbaits and they get the get the views.
As a Pakistani I appreciate you spreading truth about our cruel and unjust histstorical acts. Our governement has tried its best to censor them.
My father was a young Mukti Bahini. I'm glad that Pakistanis are waking up. The Truth will set us free.
This is what pakisthan is all about inhumanity brutality and religious conversion and it is very sad their population still supports such mind set and more sad is some bangladeshis still support pakistan in many cases just because of their religion such a shame support the same snake that almost wiped out your generation
Most governments do that unfortunately.
You seem familiar my dude :)
What about Afghanistan? Thousands of our refugee intellectuals were assassinated by the ISI in the past 40 years. Millions of refugee young boys were forced to attend Jihadi Madrasa to become the monsters they’re now. They did all that to gain strategic depth in Afghanistan which has back fired. Looking forward to the day when this cancer called Pakistan is permanently removed from the map of the world.
As a Bangladeshi, my blood boils from the fact that none of those Pakastanis were ever punished. War is ugly, but only killing people is still humane than sexual assault. They conducted a systematic sexual assault on an entire country. Sure ! we won the war, but we failed to protect our women and children from those who are worse than barbarians. This fact makes me furious.
Now, after 50 years, we are growing as a nation, and they are falling apart. Surely, the karma has caught up to them.

@@Punjabi_Patriotthey are proper muslims
India had captured 93,000 Pakistani soldiers. Biggest ever capture in modern history and held them. In 1974 Islamic conference happened in Pakistan. Sheik Mujib from newly created Bangladesh also attended. The the King of Saudi Arabia brokered peace between the two Islamic nations Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The deal was:
Muslim Bangladesh would forgive Muslim Pakistan.
Bangladesh will not take Pakistan to International court of justice as it would not be compatible with Islam.
Bangladesh will not ask for any compensation from Pakistan.
Bangladesh will take all the liabilities of Pakistan until then!!
Bangladeshis only have their own leader to blame for letting Pakistan go scott free.

Another correction: To stop India's support for Bangladesh, US President Richard Nixon directed NavalWarships (Seventh Fleet) towards the Bay of Bengal. On the other hand, Great Britain dispatched HMS Eagle, its powerful aircraft carrier, to the Arabian Sea to Intimidate the Indians and stop support for Bangladesh.
US was in full support of Pakistan in this act of genocide. I can understand, If you are an American and did not want to touch upon such cruel facts.
Thanks to the Soviets for sending Nuclear-Armed Warships, Submarines in Response to Indian SOS. Soviet Navy successfully encircled the US and the UK warships, thus stopping them on their way to India. This allowed India to support Bangladesh and get them freedom.
The Anglo-Saxon IV Reich is still the greatest problem in this world. Finally 85% of the world population has understood this.
They are the biggest hypocrites and start most wars..they still support Pakistan..
Soviet and Russian people stand proud with our Hindu friends!
The Russians sent a fleet out to defend us against US.
as a bangladeshi, i often feel the Independence War and the pakistani atrocities of 1971 isn't known widely enough. thank you for putting out such a well-researched video.
As a westerner I agree. A very big budget epic movie should be made about this.
Still u ingrates are so religiously tribalistic u support pakistan in pakistan vs india cricket match when india literally saved your ass from total genocide
Man cause this is your govt fault they say to India that how long are you going to stretch 1971 Man your govt have same kind of people who are in Pakistan forget the dark past and blame someone else and many of the people don't even believe that happened cause your govt denies it
@@omnipresent1215 you should also know the USA supported this genocide
When the west doesn't want to let the people know then they use nice diversions
I love how he left out the fact that the US dispatched the 7th fleet and riled up UK and Italy to send naval support for Pakistan even after India presented concrete evidence of war crimes to the UN. If it wasn't for USSR sending it's nuclear submarines to create a naval blockade, Bangladesh would have been turned into a wasteland like Libya

People forget that the same mujibur rehman and his successors was a member of the Muslim league that was behind the Naokhali Massacre and the Calcutta Killiings. These pieces of history were carefully and craftily censored by the left govt. of WB and GoI, now with the increasing political power and influence of parties and org. like BJP and RSS, bengalis are re-learning their history.
Though the present PM Hasina is one of the rare kinds. She's had done a lot of good for her country, her predecessors were talking BD in the same direction as pakistan.
Slight correction: USA did not stop the supply of weapons to Pakistan.Infact US and UK sent a fleet to help Pakistan but was blockaded by USSR in the Bay of Bengal in a stalemate. Essentially making it and IND+BAN vs PAK affair. Thus buying India the time to finish the operation. By the time US got a chance to find out a way to deal with USSR blockade, the war was over and Bangladesh was liberated. That is the reason you will still find a lot of Indians having a soft spot for USSR/Russia to this day even during the Ukraine war. In fact in later declassified tapes, it was revealed that Nixon was full on mega racist towards Indira Gandhi and south asians.
In short, obliterate US... Why...
Support Pakistan in Genocide against minorities, vulnerable, women & children, humanity.. -> US
The only Nukes to be used on humans- 2 of them ...-> US
Take part in war crimes in Vietnam, Afg, Irq.. -> US
Along with radical Islam, US is right at the top as the most Terroristic nation threatening peace on Earth.

I write this with tear falling through my eyes. My dad left with my grandma and grandpa along with his brothers in 1971 from Bangladesh to India. They crossed the ocean like most did as they reminded “kandari hushiar “. I asked my dad many times about how life was in Bangladesh . He was just 7 or 8 years old but he said he was already a man by then just like most had to (we were Bengali Hindu) . But he always recalled the good memories, riding boat through rivers cause it’s a place interconnected by rivers and people used to travel home in man made boat, his friends, antics they used to do but when it came to that dark year he was always silent. He just said it wasn’t a good time. I read a lot of genocide committed during that time but this video just made me realise the cruelty people had to suffer. We are now proud Indians. I was born here so India is all I know . I never saw my grandparents. They passed away when I was an infant. We struggled a lot but now we are financially well off. I can’t thank you enough for this video. Every Bengali should watch this. Bangladesh was Bengal until it was partitioned.
West bangal is again becoming jihadistan in mumtaz begum rule.
When muslims invaded india they murdered, raped, mutilated, enslaved and force converted Hindus en masse. To this day Hindus are the only, ONLY group of people the evil Muslims could not force to fully convert their religion. We are the only resistance in the entire planet from their evil. We must reconvert them back or remove them by force.

So Rohinja too Bengali Indians. Indians should know about it .
Hey umm a Bangladeshi here, give warning on disturbing content alert. Sometimes the pak IT cells would massively report this video until UA-cam demonetizes it. They did so in the past btw.
Pakistan is your friend because of Islam. India is your enemy because of kafir
The first simultaneous attacks came on what was then known as Iqbal Hall, a student dormitory and Jagannath Hall
of Dhaka University. It may be mentioned here that Jagannath Hall is exclusively meant for non-Muslim students,
particularly Hindus and Iqbal Hall's residents were mostly members and supporters of the then East Pakistan Student
League , a student wing of Awami League. We, therefore, notice that although most young men and to some extent
young women too, were the targets of attack by the Pakistani Army and their auxiliary forces , the first attack on the
students were also very much target oriented. The massacre on the 25th March actually began from Dhaka
University. After dormitories have been shelled at a point blank range , any students remaining alive were shot or
bayoneted to death. Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan , the official historian of Pakistan Army wrote: The army
had to use rocket launchers to break open some rooms of the hall. The correspondent from the British newspaper
Daily Telegraph , Simon Dring reported on March 30, " Led by the American supplied M-24 World War II tanks,
one column of troops sped to Dacca University shortly after midnight. Troops took over the British Council Library
( situated within the campus) and used it as a fire base from which to shell nearby dormitories areas. Caught
completely by surprise some 200 students were killed in Iqbal Hall, Headquarters of militant anti-government
student union, I was told. Two days later, bodies were still smouldering in burnt -out rooms others were scattered
outside, more floated in a nearby lake." But this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to Jagannath Hall and the
erstwhile Iqbal Hall, students of all ages , irrespective of their religious or gender identity were killed, tortured or at
the least humiliated. Students were considered as the harbinger of the Independence Movement f 1971 and hence
they were the principle target of murder and atrocities in 1971.
Neither gender nor age was a factor in deterring the perpetrators of war crime from committing atrocities and
murder .Female students were not spared either. In this context it is very important to note that female students too
were subject to equal subjugation and torture by the Pakistani Army. On March 30, 1971, the American Consul
General in Dhaka, Archer Blood, sent a telegram to the State Department recounting the Pakistani atrocities in
Dhaka. In it he wrote about the massacre at Rokeya Hall at Dhaka University where, according to Blood, the
building was "set ablaze and girls machine-gunned as they fled the building." On March 31, 1971, Archer Blood
sent another telegram which recounted atrocities against girls. Blood wrote: "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya
Hall, Dacca U. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their
heels from fans." Small notes they may be ,but they bear a very big footmark of the atrocities of the Pakistani Army
and their collaborators in crime.
It may be mentioned that during the early days of Operation Searchlight Pakistani army killed students
instantaneously by shooting or by launching rockets in the dorms. But when the dorms were emptied and the
surviving students fled this Operation Searchlight intensified and was extended even to remote villages. Students
were rarely shot at sight, on the other hand they were caught , interrogated if they had links with the Freedom
Fighters or Mukti Bahini and even if they had not any link or it was not proven , the innocent students were tortured
and slowly killed. .

You left out the part where the Soviets sent a special (nuclear-armed) naval task force to stop the US from aiding Pakistan in the genocide. The US plan was to attack Indian air bases if they crossed the border into East Pakistan, the Soviet plan was to stop the Americans at all costs. The standoff could've resulted in WWIII, with the USS Enterprise (nuclear-armed aircraft carrier) facing off against Soviet nuclear submarines and a missile frigate, if the Indians and Bengalis hadn't taken Dhaka just in time. Nobody commenting here would be alive if not for the courageous actions of the Indians and the Mukhti Bahini.

@@Indicthoughts898 Sounds like u r Sanghi too, same mentalities as the Pakis. The Muslims are not human to you. We are less than a cow. The Paki atrocities was aimed at Bengalis in general. Susan Brown Miller came to Bangladesh right after the war to investigate the vast extent of rapes and and wrote in her book Against Her Will - “Almost 80% of the victims were Muslims.” We, the Bengalis, Hindus and Muslims alike, were considered as sub-human by the Pakis. The late Indian writer Mulk Raj Anand said that the rapes were so systematic and pervasive that they had to be a part of conscious Army policy, “planned by the West Pakistanis in a deliberate effort to create a new race” or to “dilute Bengali nationalism”. We are eternally grateful to Srimati Indira Gandhi. One of the main culprits was USA. They fully supported Pakistan financially, morally and militarily. Nixon and war criminal Kissinger were two of main perpetrators.
As a Muslim and as a Pakistani, I am ashamed of all the atrocities our government and especially the military carried out on innocent civilians including the minorities. We violated almost every rule of law and the law of the creator of the world. Unfortunately, the rogue state of our establishment still exists today.

Razakars were paramilitary forces in East Pakistan.@@prashanthk8755
Bangladeshi Muslims and their families were being brainwashed by these razakaar huzurs since after the war ended that's why the support for bnp and zamaat ( modern razakars) are still somewhat Strong since the brainwashing has been passed down for generations. But the current government has a lot of support as well and the leaders of bnp zamaat are in jail so it's a relief
Ayoo keep ur hate of religion down awami legue is sugarcoated mass murder of its own ur talkin as if awami legue is doing anything gud for bd rn and boy oh boy india is helping bd watch sum non censored news first
The razakars were punished through the war crime tribunals Bangladesh had set up
I cannot understand the West's obsession with Pakistan , assisting them in a clearly atrocious power and land grab. The situation was extremely difficult for India as Bangladesh was a part of their "enemy", they desperately wanted to help but politically their hands were tied initially, Indira Gandhi got her act in gear very quickly to raise support for the oppressed people enabling India to move militarily which of course was a success but it took time and during that time the Pakistani military were enacting a genocide and still the West support Pakistan.
It's called politics...and it's a very dirty business. Some of what happened was known in Britain, but this was before the internet so the public had to rely on the BBC News basically. George Harrison (ex-Beatle) did record a track 'Bangladesh', in an attempt to highlight what was going on.
You should not punish a country for its past misdeeds. You have to hope that things are getting better. The greatest weapon the West has against extremism is education.
Study realpolitik and it becomes easy to understand. But far from justified unless you throw away morals entirely for a might is always right attitude.
It’s always the fault of the “West,” right? That’s your nebulous bogeyman to blame so you don’t have to assume responsibility for your own failures.

Members of the Pakistani military and supporting paramilitary forces killed an estimated 3,000,000 ( mostly Hindus ) and raped between 200,000 and 400,000

The venom that you see in the Pakistani minds is because of what they are fed in schools since their childhood. I could not believe when I first saw excerpts of their history textbook. We in India should be proud of the fact that our school curricula are so clean and that whatever little we are taught surrounding Indo-Pakistani stuff exactly matches what we see on the internet. For over 5 decades, the Pakistani military and government have done everything possible to justify the creation and existence of Pakistan and create an impression that the very existence of Pakistan is under constant threat from India and that India wants to capture Pakistan. Pakistan Studies is the most successful project in that direction.
As a Bangladeshi I am grateful to Indian people, Indian army and prime minister Indira Gandhi for unwavering support for our independence. May Allah bless India.

And Bangladesh people say why India came to help us we didn't ask for any help

Read about the news in 1971 when an Indian airplane got hijacked at kashmir Srinagar to Pakistan Lahore.
The mission completed by India RAW Agent. And that airplane helps a lot with Bangladesh victory I'm sure nobody knew about this
Pakistani army were planned to carry out 100 fighter planes and more war equipment from Pakistan to East Pakistani... So the Pakistanis army could fight Bangladesh people easily..
But the India hijacked airplane already blocked the Pakistan airport.. and the India government blocked the Indian air way for Pakistan.
That's the reason Pakistan failed to provide more supply to the Pakistanis army who are fighting with Bangladesh.
Later the Indian army joined the war and started training the muktibahini and Bangladesh people... How to Fight with the army.... That's how Bangladesh got victory
And all the credit goes to the Indian agent mastermind and vikrant airship.
Agar Pakistan ko 100 fighter planes ka support mil jata toh India bhi Bangladesh ko victory nhi. De pata....

Bangladeshis today have a section that is sympathetic to Pakistan. Islam is a binding factor which has convinced a significant number of Bangladeshis that sharing religion is more important than friendship. Pakistan has killed 3 million Bangladeshis but if u did a poll among Bangladeshi folks they will still prefer Pakistan over India despite india helping them and it’s because india isn’t an Islamic country and is seen as a country of unbelievers. This is a lesson for my fellow Americans that we also have Muslims among us and one of the worst is ilhan Omar. Her loyalties are all for Islam than loyalty to America. She chose to embrace Islamist countries as her foreign policy. Thankfully she was kicked of our foreign affairs committee
Not true.
Hindus of India have actively ensured Bangladeshi.muslims mend their strained relationship with Pakistan even if that comes at the cost of Bangladeshi Hindus.
Indian Hindus were responsible for initiation and forcing of two nation theory and now they should not wash their hands off that divide and rule policy.
She should be deported or imprisoned
@@ABO-DestinyAre you drunk or something? Muslim League was the one who came up with the idea of a separate Islamic nation, which has been documented as far as early 1930s. Also do a bit research on what led to the liberation of Bangladesh. Anyone is pretending to be an expert these days😑.
@@ABO-Destinynonsense average islamic brainwashed person
Islam , (sharia) gives them powers over people that no other state or administration would.
The uncomfortable truth: Pakistan's genocide of Bengalis is not recognized because
1. Pakistan was (and is) a US ally and received help from US during the genocide in the form of military aid and threatening to nuke India if it intervened
2. Bengalis tend to be dark-skinned and thus received less sympathy from the Western world due to racism. The genocide itself was rooted in racism of light-skinned Pakistanis against the darker Bengalis
3. Hindus (and Muslims who were perceived to be influenced by Hindu culture) were targeted in particular by the Pakistani army for genocide, as indicated in their own military records, and since they are thought of as "idol worshippers" and "polytheists", they didn't receive sympathy from neither the Christian countries nor the Islamic countries in the world
West isn’t racist as you think they just don’t care unless the TV tells them to care. That’s why they care about Ukraine and not the hundreds of other conflicts they aren’t racists they are just do whatever the media says.
No countries considered it as war of religion, except for Pakistan and the Arab world. Western countries wanted to do business, they never cared about anyone from a third world country. And a lot of people think it was just hindu and muslim.... No it's not. There were people from other religious beliefs as well who suffered. Bangladeshi christians, buddhists suffered as well. But as they were minority even then, no one even thinks that they really did exist back then. In our village there's a Christian community, they made a safe place for mukti bahini. They used to sleep at night at our houses and eat there some times. The villagers also locked up some razakars that the mukti bahini had caught. Do you really think people of Bangladesh really cared about who believes in which religion at that situation ? Absolutely not.
ok and...
Bengalis is something I’m ashamed about but Hindus no. They deserved it after mistreating us for years

As a Pakistani I'm ashamed. Appreciate your effort to make this video.
The first simultaneous attacks came on what was then known as Iqbal Hall, a student dormitory and Jagannath Hall
of Dhaka University. It may be mentioned here that Jagannath Hall is exclusively meant for non-Muslim students,
particularly Hindus and Iqbal Hall's residents were mostly members and supporters of the then East Pakistan Student
League , a student wing of Awami League. We, therefore, notice that although most young men and to some extent
young women too, were the targets of attack by the Pakistani Army and their auxiliary forces , the first attack on the
students were also very much target oriented. The massacre on the 25th March actually began from Dhaka
University. After dormitories have been shelled at a point blank range , any students remaining alive were shot or
bayoneted to death. Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan , the official historian of Pakistan Army wrote: The army
had to use rocket launchers to break open some rooms of the hall. The correspondent from the British newspaper
Daily Telegraph , Simon Dring reported on March 30, " Led by the American supplied M-24 World War II tanks,
one column of troops sped to Dacca University shortly after midnight. Troops took over the British Council Library
( situated within the campus) and used it as a fire base from which to shell nearby dormitories areas. Caught
completely by surprise some 200 students were killed in Iqbal Hall, Headquarters of militant anti-government
student union, I was told. Two days later, bodies were still smouldering in burnt -out rooms others were scattered
outside, more floated in a nearby lake." But this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to Jagannath Hall and the
erstwhile Iqbal Hall, students of all ages , irrespective of their religious or gender identity were killed, tortured or at
the least humiliated. Students were considered as the harbinger of the Independence Movement f 1971 and hence
they were the principle target of murder and atrocities in 1971.
Neither gender nor age was a factor in deterring the perpetrators of war crime from committing atrocities and
murder .Female students were not spared either. In this context it is very important to note that female students too
were subject to equal subjugation and torture by the Pakistani Army. On March 30, 1971, the American Consul
General in Dhaka, Archer Blood, sent a telegram to the State Department recounting the Pakistani atrocities in
Dhaka. In it he wrote about the massacre at Rokeya Hall at Dhaka University where, according to Blood, the
building was "set ablaze and girls machine-gunned as they fled the building." On March 31, 1971, Archer Blood
sent another telegram which recounted atrocities against girls. Blood wrote: "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya
Hall, Dacca U. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their
heels from fans." Small notes they may be ,but they bear a very big footmark of the atrocities of the Pakistani Army
and their collaborators in crime.
It may be mentioned that during the early days of Operation Searchlight Pakistani army killed students
instantaneously by shooting or by launching rockets in the dorms. But when the dorms were emptied and the
surviving students fled this Operation Searchlight intensified and was extended even to remote villages. Students
were rarely shot at sight, on the other hand they were caught , interrogated if they had links with the Freedom
Fighters or Mukti Bahini and even if they had not any link or it was not proven , the innocent students were tortured
and slowly killed.
As a Pakistani I appreciate this very much. Our youth needs to understand our past and know who the real criminals are in this country and who brought us shame and humiliation, they are still in control and have continued with the same evil they unleashed on the Bangalis. Also I'd appreciate if you consider the condition of Bihari people in Bangladesh. They are facing the same evil Bangalis sought freedom from.
So true. No country really tells their future generations their own sins. Ashamed of our community for not bringing issues like this to light. These men are evil.
Somehow Bilawal Bhutto claims to be speaking for the progressive people😂😂😂
Your support for Imran Khan and hate against current military establishment is justified but you can't overlook history due to your emotions. These numbers are highly exaggerated and would be called a fallacy compared to the real history. It's only to fuel hate against Pakistan by endia and benefits Sheikh hasina's political goals. Sheikh hasina regime's atrocities against pro-Pakistani Bengalis are much worse than what Pakistan has done to them and it's going on till to this date. Search about how they are still hanging Islamic and political leaders who were in support of united Pakistan. She and her father were ethno-nationalist and they benefitted from unequal treatment by Pakistan. Bangladesh is under severe dictatorship of Sheikh's family. But we Pakistanis are too stupid in hate against our govt that we are drenching in self hate.
@@Head_Quarterso93 You are next level brain washed. 😂😂😂
Calling India endia. Really aren't you guys past that till now? Your country is on the brink of economic collapse. Stop trying to hate on India and fix your country.
Part of the solution is accepting the problem. Otherwise you'll stay the failed state that you guys are, going from IMF to Saudi to UAE, begging. Have some pride.
This is one happens when a country is built on hatred and terrorism.

It was India who stood for Bangladesh....yet Bangladeshis are committing horrible atrocities against Hindus and liberals/secular Bangladeshis are silent over this issue. Neither the government or their leadership is serious about this issue.
Because, majority of the victims of that genocide were Bengali hindus not muslims.
Never trust Pakistan and Bangladesh. Never expect any positive from them in future. Build your army, build an economy which is independent from Pakistan, Bangladesh, China and middle East.
That genocide in Pakistan was never on Muslim but on Hindus
Because most of the genocide victims were hindu bengalis.
Bangladeshi govt. is crushing many Islamists ..
As a granddaughter of a Freedom Fighter, this is quite accurate and well put together. I am living to see the day my grandfather's courage and passion is internationally recognized, and the awareness of this genocide becomes global. I, my mother, her two younger brothers and my grandfather's many sisters are all waiting for the day the actual brutality of the genocide and the weight of their actions finally fall on the shoulders of the Pakistan government. Not owning up to the mass genocide they caused cannot be categorized as anything but cowardly.
As a westerner I agree completely. Hard times to be a 'proud' Pakistani.
My god they were both brutal and evil.
@@omnipresent1215why is it hard to be proud Pakistani??? I’m very proud to have Pakistani heritage. We can make videos like this on almost all western countries. The atrocities by western countries are the most dreadful, but I don’t hear anyone in England or America, French , Dutch saying they are not proud.
It would be a guilt ridden pride based on such intentioned ancestry with a documented record. This cannot be minimized by comparing to other evils, since self pride is a personal innate quality.
@@satyasingh5953 So sadly true Satya. When I think of the MILLIONS (billions?) of women who were as much as FORCED to become Muslim through unwanted 'marriages' and pregnancies it breaks my heart. It's a known fact around the world that even to this day, you marry a Muslim, you have pretty much no option. You WILL also become a Muslim. Consider for a moment how many people were originally Hindu (and many others) but are now Muslim. Extremely unfortunate and unforgivable.
@@omnipresent1215
What species are you. And yet girls are falling in love with muslims day in day out. You feel they are all idiots.
Listen, Genghis Khan and mongols spread their genetic trait much widely than any muslim or muslims had ever done in the world, they destroyed the centers of middle east, its culture and probably its people for ever, why dont you refer to the mongols?
The hunas did the same thing in eastern europe and central asia. Why not mention them fir a change.
And who knows it could have been the Aryans who had caused demise of indus valley civilisation , why not them.
The great king of India Ashoka killed all his 100 brothers to get to the throne, why not mention him.
The kalinga war resulted in more percentage of indian deaths than mongol expansion, ww2 or ww1, why not mention that.
Your hindu brothers had raped and killed women in gujrat , including those pregnant, why not mention them.
You people are not suited to appear holy, because you are not, you people are the source of problems , it is absolutely visible in your behaviours and appearances, no matter how much people might try to fight with the mirror, history is never extinguished.

"The last time an Indian aircraft carrier went out to the seas in anger, it changed the map. Don't think it can't happen again if needed". -a wise man.
But, the recent trend worries me. In bangladesh, people are getting brainwashed in the name of Islam. The new generation doesn't see india as a friend, even after everything india hev done for Bangladesh, and is still doing. As a Indian bengali it is really shity.
There is no difference between the ideology of an average Pakistani youngster and a Bangladeshi one. Talked to both, saw no difference.
Oh, and the average Joe from both countries consider each other as brethren. (especially the Bangladeshi women. Don't ask me why)
Not surprised.
It doesn't matter if the Bangladeshis see us in a good light to secretly arm & train the Mukti Bahini and finally liberate them or not, but what matters is that India is surrounded by 2 radi cali sed nations and 1 un reasonable dicta torship. bleh.
@@eighthprotagonist the matters are fucked. Well we can count on bangladesh to not attack us in a war, given it would only take like a month, until they will surrender.

@@rickgolder6818 Why do you have to assume that your country's conflicts with other countries must be solved with violence, I thought India prized peace
This was mostly aimed at wiping out the Hindu population even though Muslims of Bangladesh opposed Pak rule. Its estimated upto 3million was killed. To date, Pakistan continues to send terrorists to India and unfortunately the world leaders seem to favour Pak over India(as India is slowly emerging despite being enslaved by British & Islamic foces for 100s of years, which West sees as a threat). The western media too is very enthusiastic to paint India and Hindus as some sort of "demonic far right Nazi" just because India doesnt want to retain its ancient Hindu identity.
The brittish powers are very nefarious. Look how they flood the island with those Muslims who are destroying the place. I personally prefer to have hindu and Sikh in Britain.
Yup, pure evil mentality clearly, no doubt !!..
You mentioned, "word leaders seem to favour Pak over India...". I'm not sure how you have this impression, but the opposite is actually true. Despite having differences on certain issues, European and American leadership certainly favor India. Terrorism by Pakistan is far less than what it use to be, and this has allowed the Indian side of Kashmir to become prosperous. People in PoK are actually protesting to join India! And Pak journalists have admitted India is far ahead economically.
Muslims are the extremist far right conservative Nazis. They are the ones who are anti-vegan and homophobic.
@uppercrust400 western world world is currently favouring India for lot of reason. Pakistan is a blown terrorist state. China is threatening the west. Gulf are becoming more neutral. West wants a power in Asia that could have good ties with them. Now they are like...oh india is democracy..democracies have to stick together. The west didn't see us a democracy when military ruling pakistan-west's ally massacred 3million bengali hindus and raped 400000 bengali hindu women were raped in present bangladesh in 1970s. Us and british actually tried to nuke india for fighting against Pakistan. No one from Pakistan got convicted for the genocide they caused till now. Us stopped being Pakistan close ally only 9/11(your own problem..not for india's sake). I could tell you a million instances that west helped pakistan over india. And, what did you get in return-9/11..so, india will never be an ally to the west..its jsut a strategic partnership

As a Bangladeshi Muslim 🫡 salute to our true friends who support us to right time as we proud to say we are bengals doesn’t matter Hindu or Muslim we are real brother… you will never forgetting ❤
It hurts when Bangladeshis hate India and deny our assistance. They are more friendly with the enemy of India like Pakistan and China. Even they leave nothing to demean our country. It really hurts. They forgot that once they were also called Indians.
@priyankasarkar658 but why do you hate Muslims? For Muslims nothing comes before another fellow Muslim. If you reapect them they will respect you
@marketeer813 that is not true, muslims are taught respect towards everyone, and if u talk to me about pakistanis, that's some sought of personal beefs you have for each other and i don't know how you will solve it, but it has nothing to do with muslims .

Ironically some surveys in Bangladesh shows that they love Pakistan more than India because of the religion. It made me think that brave Indian soldiers sacrifice were for nothing. Religion can blind people into understanding who are friends and who are enemies.
Yea 3000+ indian soldiers died in the war and also india was heavily sanctioned by west after the war. But still the Indian army is the example of unity in diversity. The indian army general who lead indian army to Bangladesh was general J.F.R Jacob who was a Indian jew & the field marshal of indian army was Sam Manekshaw who was a indian Zoarastrian & the commander in chief of indian army was Jagjit Singh Arora who was a indian Sikh. I mean 1971 war was such a beautiful example of India's religious diversity in it's army

This is almost forgotten in the UK. I was a student at that time, and I can't forget the photographs of the massacres and executions. You couldn't show them on this channel. It is forgotten that this is the reason that the term "P@ki" became derogatory (pak had in fact meant pure in both Persian and Pashto), and prejudice against Pakistanis became strong for nearly a decade in England.
This is evidence your country denies its own people the truth
No worries there is nothing Pak about Pakis or Pakistan! Regardless of what they tell you??
They (brits) have forgotten easily because it is shameful act of partition of Brits. History will not forget you. The same act you have done about Palestine and Israel and run away.
@@sanjayvhawal2404 Er... look up the dates. Pakistan was self-governing, just as its politicians had desired - and this is what THEY did. You are in denial.
I am an unobservant Christian - but I observe the truth:
Pakistan was set up for all Abrahamic believers, but the persecution of minorities continues...
"Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye." (Matthew 7:3-5).
Interesting, I didn't know that.
This is beyond repulsive. As an American I have worked with several Indians who have been coming to my country for jobs since at least the early 80’s. I never really understood the resentment towards Pakistanis until now. The British left a vacuum when they stepped away, much like America has done in Afghanistan. No one should endure the brutality that the people of Bangladesh have suffered.
The first simultaneous attacks came on what was then known as Iqbal Hall, a student dormitory and Jagannath Hall
of Dhaka University. It may be mentioned here that Jagannath Hall is exclusively meant for non-Muslim students,
particularly Hindus and Iqbal Hall's residents were mostly members and supporters of the then East Pakistan Student
League , a student wing of Awami League. We, therefore, notice that although most young men and to some extent
young women too, were the targets of attack by the Pakistani Army and their auxiliary forces , the first attack on the
students were also very much target oriented. The massacre on the 25th March actually began from Dhaka
University. After dormitories have been shelled at a point blank range , any students remaining alive were shot or
bayoneted to death. Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan , the official historian of Pakistan Army wrote: The army
had to use rocket launchers to break open some rooms of the hall. The correspondent from the British newspaper
Daily Telegraph , Simon Dring reported on March 30, " Led by the American supplied M-24 World War II tanks,
one column of troops sped to Dacca University shortly after midnight. Troops took over the British Council Library
( situated within the campus) and used it as a fire base from which to shell nearby dormitories areas. Caught
completely by surprise some 200 students were killed in Iqbal Hall, Headquarters of militant anti-government
student union, I was told. Two days later, bodies were still smouldering in burnt -out rooms others were scattered
outside, more floated in a nearby lake." But this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to Jagannath Hall and the
erstwhile Iqbal Hall, students of all ages , irrespective of their religious or gender identity were killed, tortured or at
the least humiliated. Students were considered as the harbinger of the Independence Movement f 1971 and hence
they were the principle target of murder and atrocities in 1971.
Neither gender nor age was a factor in deterring the perpetrators of war crime from committing atrocities and
murder .Female students were not spared either. In this context it is very important to note that female students too
were subject to equal subjugation and torture by the Pakistani Army. On March 30, 1971, the American Consul
General in Dhaka, Archer Blood, sent a telegram to the State Department recounting the Pakistani atrocities in
Dhaka. In it he wrote about the massacre at Rokeya Hall at Dhaka University where, according to Blood, the
building was "set ablaze and girls machine-gunned as they fled the building." On March 31, 1971, Archer Blood
sent another telegram which recounted atrocities against girls. Blood wrote: "Six naked female bodies at Rokeya
Hall, Dacca U. Feet tied together. Bits of rope hanging from ceiling fans. Apparently raped, shot and hung by their
heels from fans." Small notes they may be ,but they bear a very big footmark of the atrocities of the Pakistani Army
and their collaborators in crime.
It may be mentioned that during the early days of Operation Searchlight Pakistani army killed students
instantaneously by shooting or by launching rockets in the dorms. But when the dorms were emptied and the
surviving students fled this Operation Searchlight intensified and was extended even to remote villages. Students
were rarely shot at sight, on the other hand they were caught , interrogated if they had links with the Freedom
Fighters or Mukti Bahini and even if they had not any link or it was not proven , the innocent students were tortured
and slowly killed. .

ALTHOUGH HE MISSED A LOT ON HIS DOCUMENTARY..lemme gave you an lil example...
A writer in BANGLADESH,seen a 6 y/o girl who's orgasms was splitted and scattered...A hungry dog was eating it...AND AS FAR AS I REMEMBER IN history class...there was a lack where Pakistani soldiers intentionally throws EYES of PEOPLE..the lack was full of blood and eyes...this lack still exists called "choker hrid"(lack of eyes),. INTERESTING MYTH,RIGHT?
One correction about a misstatement in the very first sentence, “The British thought that such a division between India and Pakistan would minimize religious conflict.” The British ruled subcontinent based on divide et impera and promoted divisions based on anything that they could think of. They knew very well that leaving this region in a state where these two countries keep fighting each other would be in their best interests.
The British are not a hive mind.
So true
Duniya ko jnan bant raha hai ye gora aur khud ke baap dadaon ki kartootein ise yaad nahin
So true
in addition to what u right said -" Britain wanted to leave a Balkanize India"
Love your videos man. Really great content.

India needed no help. Bangladesh (East Pakistan) was 2200 km away from mainland Pakistan. There was no way any country could hang on this far away. All you had to do was march to the Bay of Bengal, and even then you still couldn’t do it. Still doesn’t matter, India-Russia ‘relationship’ is pointless since Russia only uses India for its own interest
@@maazc081 oh yeah, we didn't need any help to liberate Bangladesh from Pakistani oppression. The USSR help was keep other countries away. Rest, we took care of ourselves
The English are themselves reciting their history putting all blame on Pakistan.. and silently deleting their own evil history.. this why you see them showing this half truth
I was 20 and in the Royal Navy when this happened, the images that were shown were horrific. I was too young and ignorant to understand why it happened back then. Thank you for this.

But there are enough history lessons to teach us that Muslim brotherhood only exists when their political agendas align, if they don’t align,Muslims massacre Muslims without any problem.

At least now Bangladesh is free and India stepped in to help.
My aunt's family used to live in Dhaka, when Pak army attacked East Pakistan, they left home and country in one cloth, walking by foot entered India as refugee, though lost two members of family, one was a female teenager, who was raped and killed later. Still their family is not out of that trauma. Sad thing is current many Bangladeshis praise Pakistan, and ignore the sacrifices made by Mukti Bahini. Morever in recent past I met one Banglashi man living abroad , he said Pak (Khan sena) Army did a good job wiping out Kafers (means Hindus like me).

as a Muslim bangladeshi i feel ashamed tht some bangladeshis still do tht. bengali Hindus are my brothers/sisters we are same people same dna . to me it doesnt matter what u believe in bcuz that matters only to God hinself.
As bangladeshi, i feel that our country lost its own aims. Our national leaders started the journey to make this country Liberal, for all, economical and politically free. But now it seems like most of the dream are far away! There are still people who openly support Pakistani, only just of religion!
