This is a difficult topic to discuss.
However in order to evaluate what happened in 1971 one needs to consider what was happening in 1971 and the circumstances of that time. It is easy to analyze something after it has happened however for a person making decisions at that time there is no retake or reversal. Unfortunately what happened as a result of decisions taken by people at that time resulted in the gravest tragedy taking place.
We need to understand that history can not be reversed however future can be improved and one should learn from his past mistakes. Slowly and steadily the true picture of 1971 is surfacing. Facts are emerging which indicate that the situation was not as was painted to the East Pakistanis. Hopefully the people of Bangladesh shall be able to understand that every thing done by West Pakistan was not wrong and external forces were at play.
As far as the notion preached by some members of the forum that East Pakistanis were not welcome or were not wanted is far from truth. They were as loyal and faithful a Pakistanis as West Pakistanis were.
This is all I can say at the moment.
