Awami League and indians hijacked our independence with blatant lie:
Estimates of the death toll vary from around 300,000 to the current government’s reckoning of 3m—one in 20 of the population at that time.
Idune Bhai,
It was so ironic that none of the London Times or Guardian or Washing Post or German or Swiss News Paper's journalist that put the death figure from 2,00,000-1 million resided in the then E PAK during the war time but used Indian source to disseminate it. They couldn't say jack about their 'Formulation method' except he said, she basis. OTH, Hamudur Rahman's figure AKA around 26,000 deaths was scientific/fact base investigative findings.
Consensus also by army, GOVT and civilian at scene that it was very close to the true figure but hardly got mentioned by any Pro-RAWAMY, Westerner's write ups. And anyone read 'The way it was', soldier's log, diary, veteran's commentary could figure the probable number too. For example, at the pick of the war like from (25th March to June 5th, 71) and (21st NOV to 14th Dec, 71); The death toll were 4-5,000 (Most were Bengali soldiers, EPR and RAWAMYS) and 14-16,000 (Around 12000 W Pakistanis, 1800 Indians and the rest were Mukti+ Bengali soldiers). From the 2nd week of June to 1st week of Sept. things were largely under control of Pakistanis and except casualty from guerrilla ambush, picking on specific RAWAMY-Malauns. Those casualties weren't more than even couple of thousands. From 2nd week of Sept. through NOV. 20 Mukti's raid multiplied thus W Pakistani soldier's death toll rose but total 14000 -12000= 2000 could be the highest number of it. Hence, the addition of the maximum known would amount to (5000+12000+1800+2000+2000)(APP.)=22,800 APP.
So, with more unknowns, 26,000 seem like the probable figure than any six digit's number. Then how did that 3, 00,000 add up? IMHO, it was nothing but grossly exaggerated by Indians (To create fallacy in the premise to have intense conspiracy's capital) that passed it to Western Journalists, who resided at Delhi and Calcutta. It was done on prolonging Bengali's hating of W Pakistanis IMO.
Finally, RAWAMY bastards in their previous tenure disclosed the name and number of MUKTIS, RAZAKARS and Collaborators but not ‘The name of killed’? It would have been easier to do than disclosing names but why did they evade that process deliberately? Only reason was to keep the game alive to gain more ‘Political capital’ IMO.
