Blood telegram: Nixon, Kissinger and a forgotten Genocide (1971)

[Capt.Popeye]

Brought my copy last year at Mumbai airport waiting for a delayed flight. All i can say is it is spell binding and really chilling at places, especially the account where American consulate members gave shelter to Bangla people in guise of domestic help etc. Equally terrifying are the description of crack down at Dhaka university.
As for the Nixon part, i guess he was the most Anti-India POTUS ever and given how he was guided by his own secretaries, it is difficult to see how he would have done anything different.
Today some 40 years down the line when we can retrospectively see the events, you get a feeling (even as an Indian) that Mrs. Gandhi was very lucky, she had everything going for her (a brilliant army commander, Soviet Support and vetoes, equations of the world politics). May be creation of Bangladesh was something Destined to happen.

It was simply Allah's will that the creation of Bangladesh had to happen. In the face of God's will, who was 'Dick' Nixon?

My grand parents had an underground bunker to hide whenever pak soldiers came out from their camp (they built it when the war began ) they were not brave enough to fight LOL but one of our neighbours was killed he was an engineer.

no shame in that, considering what was going around. Atleast they lived to tell the tale. unfortunately many souls weren't that lucky.

@levina , this thing has been debated just about infinite number of times on PDF. Why start a thread that you know would become troll-magnet?

Closed.
