Rape of Non-bengali women by Bengalis. Uncomfortable tale

Well if you can wish it today - nothing has changed then has it?

You've proven that the accusations about Pak behaviour were true because that demon is still in you.

The only thing I have proven is that Pak Army was very lenient and in most cases sympathetic. Had they known what mukhti Bahini was up to, I am sure they wouldn't have held back.
The only regret that I have is that Niazi didn't do a good job of what he was supposed to do.
 
When you drive eastwards from Jessore – a district of former East Pakistan that borders India – to Narail, you pass by a small colony.

Located just a few miles from Jessore, this small hamlet sheltered by huge mango and Ashoka trees is known by the name of Jham Jham Pur. Dotted with both concrete structures and mud houses, with courtyards lined with sweet-smelling henna shrubs and guava trees, it is an isle of non-Bengalis surrounded by an ocean of Bengalis.

For a long time, Jham Jham Pur was a happy settlement – a neighbourhood of peace and prosperity. That was until the spring of 1971, when everything changed. As communal tensions gathered fever pitch, the 6,000 to 7,000 people living in beleaguered Jham Jham Pur began living with palpable fear. As if clouds of the tragedy were brewing over their houses.



The residents of Jham Jham Pur and the rest of East Pakistan’s non-Bengali populace – called ‘Bihari’ even though they had migrated from all over India – found some reassurance on March 26, when then governor of the country’s eastern wing Gen Tikka Khan banned all political activities and then president Yahya Khan addressed the nation. Even so, the rumours of an imminent attack disrupted routine life and contributed to a growing sense of danger among the colony’s inhabitants.

From early March, when communal tensions began, young male residents had started patrolling access points to Jham Jham Pur. Although motivated to fight to protect both their families and for their country, they had hoped that government anti-revolt measures would prevent any assault on their neighbourhood.

On the last of March, their worst nightmare came true.

“It was 7:30 am. I was leaving my home when my neighbour came running to warn me,” recounted Muhammad Siddique, who once lived in Jham Jham Pur. “Thousands of armed Bengalis, including rebel soldiers of the East Pakistan Rifles and Mukti Bahini rebels, were moving towards our settlement,” he said. “I ran into my house. I told my wife, Zarina Khatoon, that I had to go with the other men to protect the colony. I asked her to hide in a nearby house as I left.”

Fall of Dhaka: The genocide debate that wasn’t

“We were around 2,500 – with both young boys and old men. Most of us were armed with nothing more than swords, knives, staffs, and rods,” narrated Siddique. “Our attackers were more than thrice our number – 15,000 at least – armed with firearms, including rifles and automatic sten guns and Tommy guns. Their onslaught was unstoppable.”

One by one, the defenders of Jham Jham Pur started falling. As they made their way through, the attackers began massacring the colony’s residents and looting their belongings.

“I retreated to the colony’s graveyard and then jumped into the rivulet that flowed close to our neighbourhood. I later ran to Jessore to protect my life,” Siddique said. His wife Zarina Khatoon narrated the rest of the story.

“The Mukti Bahini hooligans plundered and pillaged our houses, killing men, women, and children at random. When they entered the house we were hiding at, they demanded money and jewelry at gunpoint,” she recalled.

Once they had taken over Jham Jham Pur, the band of attackers rounded up the residents whose lives they had somehow spared at a single spot. “Most colony residents were affluent and had their own cars, buses, and trucks. The killers, rejoicing at their success and our suffering, crammed us into them to move us to an unknown destination,” Zarina added.

Muhammad Aseeruddin was another Jham Jham Pur resident who survived this little known massacre of ‘Biharis’ on March 31, 1971. He too escaped death by jumping into a rivulet and running to Jessore, where a Bengali friend gave him refuge.

“I begged my friend to take me back to the colony the next morning where I had left my wife. It was risky but he relented. As we entered the colony strewn with corpses of men, women, and children on April 1, I grew frantic,” he said.

“I entered my house but found no one. I then started going from house to house across the neighbourhood, but found only the dead. The town mosque had the largest number of corpses,” he recounted. “Then, in one house, among a dozen dead bodies, I found two children, unconscious but still alive. I took them with me and went back to Jessore.”


Another survivor, Mustafa, narrated what happened to the people – mostly women and children – who were taken prisoner by the Mukti Bahini. “The trucks and buses carrying the prisoners were first brought to Hamidpur, a small town near Jessore, where they were given gur (jaggery) and morri (rice flakes) to eat.”

The Jham Jham Pur massacre survivors were then brought to Narail Jail. “This was our first destination. Apart from the women and children of Jham Jham Pur, some non-Bengali soldiers of the EPR and other forces personnel were also incarcerated in that prison,” he recalled.


Sohaila Khatoon, Muhammad Aseeruddin’s wife, was among the few fortunate women of Jham Jham Pur who were reunited with surviving members of their families after the Pakistan Army reclaimed the revolt-ridden areas in mid-April. Tears rolled down her eyes when she recalled what happened to the prisoners at Narail Jail.

“The Mukti Bahini men picked up the young and beautiful women among the prisoners and stripped them in front of their close relatives. There were probably around 100 such girls and newly married women who were continually disgraced and raped during four days they were kept at the prison.”

According to Sohaila, Mukti Bahini started moving the prisoners on the fifth night. They once again crammed them into vehicles and brought them to a riverbank, where launches were waiting for them.

“We were being moved to an unknown destination. The launches were stopped at a ghat in the morning and we were given ‘gur and murri’ as breakfast. Throughout the journey, our captors kept raping, groping and molesting the women.”

Sohaila said some of these women jumped into the water to put an end to their life, but the men who stood guard at the launches, jumped after them to bring them back on board and disgrace them even more.


The boat finally stopped at Tekerhat, a seasonal island on the Kumar River. During the rainy season, this island was cut off from land but in April, the water had receded from some of its surrounding grounds.

“When our boats stopped at the island, the news of our arrival spread like a wildfire and denizens of that area armed with knives, ramdaos (machetes), rods and stones gathered around us, shouting ‘Joe Bangla’ slogans. The time had come for the ultimate massacre of the remaining men and children of Jham Jham Pur,” Sohaila recounted.


Ali Ahmed was among the few men who survived the massacre at Tekerhat. He said all the men and young boys had been made to lie face down on the ground.

“All these people were beheaded in front of their mothers, wives, and sisters. I, however, survived because of my 70-year-old mother, Khatija Khatoon, removed her sari to wrap me up. She sat on me, stark naked, surrounded by a few other women.”

Ali recounted that the Mukti Bahini men did rush to that group of women to see if they were hiding anyone but they somehow managed to protect him.

Shahid Kamrani was a journalist and broadcaster who visited the sites of the massacre in former East Pakistan in late April and first reported the Jham Jham Pur tragedy. He, quoting some of the survivors, wrote how minor children of these women were killed.

“They tied the hands of our children and then threw them into the river. Some of these children later washed ashore while some floated on the water like plastic dolls,” he quoted an old woman in the first report of this incident which is part of the darkest period of our history.

Sohaila Khatoon, wiping her tears, narrated how she was reunited with her husband. “I am thankful to my husband, Aseeruddin, that he accepted me despite all that happened to all the young women of Jham Jham Pur. Most of them are lost forever and can never be traced,” she said, sorrowfully.

Shame on Yahya, Tikka and Niazi for being fucking cowards. Hope these disgraced generals rot in Hell

Muqafat e amal is going on....

They are now ruled by puppet of India who made them slaves of Hindus....

Benghaleez now selling and pimping their own girls in all Gulf countries even in India.
Especially Calcutta
 
What do we get by opening such threads? Let bygone be bygone.

This is exactly the reason why I will keep creating such threads. Most Pakistanis are stupid and don't read. Look at how my gobble up 3 zilllllllion bengali killed propaganda.

Every year Ms.Hasina on podium talk about Pakistan and 1971 but we , instead of setting the record straight either say nothing or gobble up whatever is said about us.

This is the reason why Most Pakistanis are oblivious of Afghan shenanigans that are continuing since 1950s and bengali traitorship beginning in early 1950s.
 
Right now Bengalis are enjoying the husband-wife relationship with their neighbour but they may get the taste of 'real' rape soon enough after the husband gets done with the concubine (Indian Muslims).
 
Unfortunately, we did nothing to counter Hindus/awami league Bengalis propaganda of three million killed and two lac raped --- I don't expect any good from our prostitute media and rulers, but at least ispr can sponsor some drama or movie to show our narrative (they also did nothing) @Mangus Ortus Novem
 
16th dec is 40,000 times more glorious than 27th feb
Why you (indians) all tried to save face our 71 defeat, why you interfere our internal matters in 71, there were least assets of PAF/Navy in East Pakistan only PA were there but thanks to you for Creating mukhti bahani for Bangli traitors and you gave them latest weapon/communication centers (Radio station) to propagandize against west Pakistan and thanks to the Soviet Union which veto all ceasefire resolutions at UN and USSR providing you latest weapons then and Pakistan were alone internationally because of stupid policies of YAHA KHAN, we are more responsible for our defeat than you're defeated us
 
Mukti were a pathetic breed. They used to beg Pakistan Army to spare their lives by holding up Qurans and later they were back to old habits. The Pakistan Army fought very bravely right to the end.
I respect this man. He held his grace in the worst of situations.
We could have fought on for not less than 30 days. It is part of the game and so we shall play the game.
Indians won the battle but have not won the war.
He has a big heart which should be the characteristic of every Pakistani.
I always believe that 1971 was a punishment from Allah to straighten up our business as the times of today can not afford goof ups of the past.
Bangladesh was created due to greed of Pakistani politicians and Bengali people.
Never again will this happen InshAllah.
Right

Bangalis felt some sort of humiliation by hands of west pakistanis

Bhai, you guys do so much chest thumping regarding 27th february, then why can't we do it just for once on this day? rest of the year you can guys can make up for it...Well a secular Bengali speaking Bangladesh is better than Urdu speaking Islamic East Pakistan from Indian perspective...then we would have been pressed on two sides by Pakistan, just like the Ottoman Empire was pressing on Constantinople...

Having East Pakistan as strong as west Pakistan would most certainly have lead to division India into North India and South India
by 2020.

India kept its union intact by destroying Pakistan's union....

Jinnah also wanted to play this bold move once more by trying to allure Jaipur to Pakistan side so that some how some sort of connection or tenous connection could be made with Hyderabad State. once that would have been achieved, once again India would have been divided into North and South India

Unfortunately, most of the Pakistani as well as BD posters, even highly educated ones, fail to take an objective view of the historical happenings, owing to some ethnic, racial or even nationalistic zeal, and to understand that insurgencies and counter insurgency operations, are, by their very nature, far dirtier and far uglier, than the regular wars, between the established states. So, it is better to let bygone be bygone and move forward, in the light of the incumbent circumstances and geostrategic demands.
