You've made several points. Now please consider a few points too.
1. Two-nation theory was a blunder. The sufferings caused in the mass is always caused by people, not the religion. Hindus and Muslims can co-exist together as we are doing here in Bangladesh.
Mujib did support the two-nation theory.
2. Awami-league was only trying to protect the interest of then East Pakistan which was being oppressed. They had absolute support of the masses which was later proved in the elections.
3. As a ruler, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib might have been terrible, (though I don't agree with that, I just wanna stay on topic and avoid any argument regarding that.) but he was a great leader; OUR LEADER! He suffered jail, he was abducted and he was tortured; and yet he fought for the people of Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujib was one of the key activists of the two nation movement too. If not for the oppression of the military, he would never have considered a separate state. He tried his best to keep Pakistan intact. Also, Mujib's role in Agartala-conspiracy theory is still unclear. If he was guilty indeed, the military would never have let him participate in the elections. And even if he was, he was still protecting the interest of the majority. So he wasn't guilty in that case either.
Bhutto should have allowed Mujib to hold office. He wouldn't have lasted 6 months anyways.
And yes, West Pakistanis did have an attitude of extreme indifference and apathy toward Bengalis. They hardly took the security of East Pakistan seriously, mismanaged that security situation which ultimately went out of control and hence the result.
4. If he had connections with India, maybe Pakistan would still be intact and there wouldn't be such hostilities between India and Pakistan. He would have brought peace to this region.
Correction: The key dispute between India and Pakistan was the issue of Kashmir. And still is to this day.
5. Pakistani Army giving power to Mujib? The people chose Mujib. The army occupied the power. They were the illegal authorities. They should be tried in court.
Impossible then, and impossible now since they are all dead.
Why was it impossible back then? Cold war-era complications. They went to kiss Uncle Sam's boot in order to save their skins.
6. The existence of RAW and Indian agents in our landmass is overrated. People of Bangladesh suspect that the ISI is invloled more on our soil. If that is true, they have to be neutralized first.
I'm not asking you to trust anyone (including me), but it'd be better if you really look into that yourself.
And ISI? What could they possibly gain? They have many more complicated issues to address in their own country than Bangladesh.
