Is there any neutral source of Bihari Killing ?? Yea i know about Sharmila bose and i have read a huge book written on Pakistani officers' statements. But it would be better to know from neutral sources such as european or american media.....

PS. i asked about this to my mother just now. She replied she knew about a Bangali whos Family was killed by Biharis and the man killed many in reply.....
there is a guy when he was a bit younger his mother used to tell him a story. she told him that once she was travelling by train with her mother (his grand mother), and at some station a skinny boy, age by her guess, 10-12, came and hid himself under the opposite seat, she was sitting. He was frightened, it was not so long since fall of Dhaka. By her guess the boy havenot had anything to eat, probably from some days. She herself was a girl, she told her mother (grand mother) If she could give the boy her biscuits. she got permission. At first the boy was reluctant to take anything, but then hunger forced him to grab the biscuits, he stretched out to have it, and after collecting shrunk back inside. Seeing all this his grand mother gave him 5 rupee and asked if he had a ticket?, he was so frightened to speak. by then ticket collector reached, grandmother purchased a ticket to Karachi for him as well. To his mom(girl) it was a bit strange, she asked stupid questions from her mother (grand mother), that why he is not wearing a shirt? why he is hiding ? where are his parents? why he is alone, if he can travel alone, why cannot I ? where is he going?.
Now, reproducing the whole experience in proper context,she told his son(the guy) the story of Pakistan, and then would go on to tell about the dismemberment of Pakistan's Eastern wing and creation of Bangladesh, and then she would tell him this story, and say the boy was a Bangali, and that she didnot know if some one could be a bangli, sindhi, punjabi or a urdu speaking. she told him that he was afraid because state refused to protect him as he was declared not one of us. Where he was born, was suddenly not his home anymore, and people who were his own fellow citizens, were suddenly cruel and they had forgotten the lesson of Islam "to kill one human is to kill the whole humanity".
In the end she would say "Always keep your conscience clear, no matter how insecure it may make you among your own skin, it is you, who shall be called by your mother's name, and not by your colour of skin, tribe, cult, ethnicity or nationality. and there shall be no one to bear your burden, no one else but you, yourself, Alone !!
