is this photo before or after 1971? is he a major in this photo or he became a general in this photo? this photo is so interesting, even though mujib was the leader of the nation, Zia did not take his glasses off or look in any sort of obeying posture. I am going all psychoanalysis on this photo

Nice works Farhan these Pics are really unique But I can't look at all 7 pages coz most of these pics really scary .
And can you plz post some pics of Hindu community still living in BD and tell me what are their views on India.(just PM it to me as its a bit offtopic.)

Real Bangladeshi is Bangladeshi...what's the point specifically asking on Hindu Community here? Bangladesh is the only place in this subcontinent where real secularism is observed except the constitution says it's Muslim country which is political business based on religion. We Bangladeshi people are grateful to Hindu community specially for there role in education, most renowned teachers of my school time were Hindu. Here when reciting from religious holy books...all 4 main religions' are recited (initiated by President Zia). Unlike Pakistan where there is only maybe currently .03 percent of Hindu people and India where every 10 years there is a cycle of atrocities on minority, Bangladesh has the best environment to live together in harmony. Govt. holidays are observed on every main religious festival like Eid, Puja, Christmas, Buddha Purnima. When Babri Mosque was vandalized, President Ershad even deployed army to safeguard some Hindu temples whereas Babri Mosque was surrounded by police to smoothly perform the destruction. And yes, a Bangladeshi now be Hindu or Muslim is ready to kill BSF.

I believe they just signed the much criticized 25 Years Friendship Treaty.

The lease agreement of hardly earned Bangladesh

 

[PlanetSoldier]

It was for a variety of reasons. These reasons were political, economic, etc.

To me the reasons were the oil. And the killings on the night of 25th march acted as the spark

The lease agreement of hardly earned Bangladesh

Due to that agreement, in 1991 India threatened to intervene if Myanmar attacks Bangladesh as far as I remember.

Myanmar already attacked Bangladesh and 2 of BDR guys were killed in 1991 as far as I know. In retaliation Bangladesh deployed soldiers with support of Pakistani F-7 Squadron (Pakistan sent 1/2 squadron from Sri Lanka) and one US general from Pacific command came Bangladesh to show that they are with us. When US consulted India that Bangladesh should attack Myanmar and liberate Arakan from Myanmar as there was high level of human rights violation on Arakaneese, India said before that Bangladesh had to come under that lease agreement clearly indicating that Myanmar attack on Bangladesh was fueled by them. In fact every Myanmar attack on Bangladesh is fueled by them. In 2008 the Myanmar govt. started Bay of Bengal exploration in disputed zone after Pranab Mukherji visited Myanmar just 2/3 days ago. So, it's not that India wanted to intervene if Myanmar attacks Bangladesh rather India wanted to grab Bangladesh back in that agreement by making Myanmar attack Bangladesh.
