The day we lost East Pakistan

[SarthakGanguly]

POW were 90,000. These included 34 K soldiers, their families and the civilians. Few of my cousins were POW of India when they were of the age of 4 years, six months along with their parents.

Gen. Amin among others (incl. Niazi) claimed 55000+ regular soldiers along with 550000 semi and un armed collaborationist militia.

The Dhaka university incident was not simply students but armed bengali freedom-fighters.

How many Pak soldiers suffered casualties in Dhaka University massacre? How did they arrest all teachers and students so ... peacefully? How did they have neat bullet exit holes in their heads?

It was probably necessary to destroy Bengali intellectual capacity. But HAD to win the war to suppress the massacre(s). But then you lost... and people came to know about it. Quite like Katyn.
