Ha! Ha!! BRO, you have just called it the biggest AWAMY/Bharati bluff for not making efforts to count the martyrs. And I completely agree with you on the feasibility of body count. AWAMYS had counted RAZAKAR'S figures by their wishes then why didn't they ever initiate reckoning dead? IMHO, it was purely for having bad intention that even persisted up until today. They deliberately kept on beating dead horse for yrs. to gain political capital and succeeded up to an extent, existence of many millions of Aazidane, Boltu's types was the evidence, for whom logic and rational were secondary. Otherwise, how could someone be so devoid of reality and defied that onward 70s election thousands and thousands of Biharies and Non-Bengali speaking people got slaughtered by RAWAMY thugs? And even 18-24th March. 71, 22 W. PAK army officers got killed (Ref. from 'The way it was') but PAK Mil didn't relay it to Westerners in order to save Bengalis in Karachi. Entirety of Bangladesh creation was an INDO-ASSYRIAN imperial project that started with the breaking up of sub-continent to erode Muslim's power from SA, sooner we realize it, and the better we would be, thanks.I think it's possible to count the approximate number of people killed/missed in 71 even today. In every village/locality many older people are still alive who witnessed the 71 war, they could tell us how many people from their own village/locality were killed or lost in the 9 months. Last of all every family knows who among their ancestors they lost in war. Unfortunately the govt doesn't want to find out the truth, because propaganda thrives on ignorance.
