The Tangail Airdrop was an airborne operation mounted on 11 December 1971 by the 2nd Parachute Battalion Group of the Indian Army during the Bangladesh-Pakistan War of 1971. The main objective of the operation was the capture of Poongli Bridge on the Jamuna which would cut off the 93 Brigade of Pakistani Army which was retreating from the north to defend Dacca and its approaches. The Paratroop unit was also tasked to link up with the advancing Maratha Light Infantry on the ground to advance towards the East Pakistani capital Dhaka.

Nope they didn't. There is a lot of differences between north indians and central Asian. Aryans by historical accounts were herdsmen. You do know after the fall of Indus valley civilization, the civilizations near the Ganges sprang up, literature flourished, etc. Herdsmen couldnt have possibly done that.

bengalis are indo aryan bloodline people. speacially in bangladesh. aryan means iranian. thats why u can see lots of fair bangladeshi becoz of their aryan n arab bloodline

On the contrary these flights used to be full. Wasn't very expensive somehow. Was discontinued after some accidents with bird hits - one fatal.

I think maybe that oil was cheap that time or the heli was quite old, so cheaper flights. Btw have abyone noticed the northern parts do not have the services

15 years back, I remember domestic flight fares ranged from tk700 - tk800 .
Flights used to be full although the service was medicore.
