in 1965 war, there was no major protection from India by Pak army in East Pakistan, do you know that ?
there are many international reports about pakistani genocide, we have mass graves in BD, wanna see it ? come to BD, I will take you those places.
Thats because Pakistan was always numerically & technologically inferior to India in military terms & so the Doctrine of the Defense in the East lies in the West was adopted; it didn't work !
But it wasn't out of some malicious intent...it was logical to suggest that instead of dividing our forces between the two wings equally & leave either wing without any chance of holding its own against a numerically & technologically superior India, concentrate the bulk of it in one Wing - West Pakistan, unlike the East, wasn't surrounded on 3 parts by India & one part by water & wasn't interspersed with streams & rivers across its length & breadth to rule out any major Tank or Artillery deployment !
It didn't work but it wasn't conceived with malafide intentions just a miscalculation on our part !
Oh please...what mass graves ? 3 million dead would have produced a little more than a few odd graves of Bengali Intellectuals & whats even more comic is how they explain away their absence with 'they threw them in the rivers & so they washed away to the sea' ! Who is to say that your Bengali Mobs & those Angelic beings called the Mukhti Bahini didn't dump the Pro Pakistan Bengalis & Biharis therein ?
Has there ever been a single Commission to set the record straight, to find out what really happened as opposed to frantic chest thumping & unsubstantiated pieces of journalism ? DNA tests ? Some pictorial evidence ? The Official records ? The Missing Persons who were registered with the Bangladeshi Govt. after the war ? Anything....?
If you want an apology then be prepared to give one in return otherwise either bury the hatchet & move forward or conduct a proper a joint impartial inquiry into the facts & figures surrounding '71 - I swear I'd advocate punishing any Pakistani who was responsible but only on the basis of 'evidence' not 'conjectures' & most certainly not 'opinions' !
