***Yes India’s KAO Plan worked:

CA: How many Mukti Bahinis were trained at Uttar Pradesh by General Uban?

Ratuk Ngawang: After Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had been imprisoned in West Pakistan, more than 1000 of his supporters escaped to India. Many of them were stationed near by the SSF camp. We trained them in military combat. They were known as the Mukti Bahinis. Some of them were related to Mujibur Rahman. They later acted as our guides and contact persons during the war though they did not actually fight with us.
Though it us who fought the real war and suffered the casualties, all the credit has later been given to the Mukti Bahinis [because the Tibetan Force was involved under the guise of the Mukti Bahinis].***

Indira Gandhi?s wishes regarding Pakistan.

This 240-page plan, which is still known as The **? Kao Plan ? **in India?s clandestine community, had three different operations to destabilize Pakistan.

The Kao Plan, which is described as a three-pronged strategy by the Indian officials, had three different operations to eliminate Pakistan. The first, known as Kao?s Bangla Plan(KBP) was chalked out to start an insurgency movement in East Pakistan and transform the Eastern part of Pakistan into a new State. The 2nd plan, known as Kao?s Balochistan Plan (KBP-II) was architected to create a similar scenario in Pakistan?s Balochistan province, while the 3rd one was related to organizing a separation movement in the then North Western Frontier Province(NWFP) and now Khyber Pakhtun Khowah to establish an independent State there and this one is known as the Kao?s Pakhtoonistan Plan (KPP).

Indira Gandhi, the research indicates, went through Rameshwar Nath Kao?s plans comprehensively. She held a detailed meeting with Kao and discussed his plans in great](Pakistan Defence) detail. After the meeting, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi reached to the conclusion that Kao plans were quite comprehensive and had all the potential of earning far reaching results. However, she was concerned with the limited capabilities of the country?s top intelligence agency (the Intelligence Bureau). After detailed deliberations with Kao and her other close associates, Mrs Gandhi felt that the IB was not at all capable of executing the Kao plans. According to some Indian media persons, who were close to the developments at the PMO in late 60s, Indira Gandhi finally decided that since IB did not posses enough capabilities to run the foreign missions and the related the Kao plans, there was an urgent need for India to have a separate, more powerful and more resourceful intelligence Agency to execute extremely high profile projects like the Kao Plans. According to these journalists, Indira Gandhi while contemplating formation a brand new intelligence mechanism for execution of Kao plans regarding Pakistan, was also eyeing situation viz a viz China.

The Daily Mail?s investigations indicate that after all the discussions and deliberations, it was decided to start a new Intelligence agency but to keep its profile as a research body and not as spy agency for the outside world. This agency was given the title of Research and Analysis Wing, commonly know as RAW. RAW was finally formed on 21 st September, 1968 under the Cabinet Division and Mr. Rameshwar Nath Kao was declared as its first Chief.

How many culprits of Gen Hamoodur Rehman commission (sorry if this name is not correct) got punishment?

I think our leaders were too quick to try sliding this embarrassment under the carpet and move on

***idher ham, udher tum ***eventually led to this war and this separation.

Pakistan also could’ve stayed united if Yahya the drunkard had called the assembly session in Dhaka and Pakistan army hadn’t used tanks on bengalis in Operation Searchlight.

I find this revisionist history to blame Bhutto for all wrong highly ridiculous. Why didn’t it stop the army from hanging bhutto later and supposedly refusing to follow order to fire at protestors in karachi?

I saw a video, will try to find again, where young bhutto in 1970 was asked by BBC journalist about the martial law of yahya khan and bhutto’s reply was a straightforward defense of YK. He said under present circumstances whatever President YK and army is doing is exactly 100% right as these are the demand of times. There is no other way out. The journo seemed surprised and he repeated his question and bhutto repeated his answer.

It reminded me of one of the leading leaders of Pak currently :slight_smile:

But I dont want anyone to go through the same what Bhutto went thru by the same army.

It was inevitable. The way it happened was the worst possible way…but the ‘provinces’ couldn’t stay as one country…

for blame - Bhutto and Army are equally to blame…

The way bengali’s were treated in every walk of life by west pakistan was the casue the ignite BD movement. BTW in my opinion it would have been great if from day one two muslim countires had emergged. I dont think there is any country in the world that have two parts seperated by Enemy.

Humm! so sad 16 December is the worst day in the history of Pakistan…

Amen to that

?Jo America mujib say muzakrat k liye gya us ki tangain tor di jayein gi?
that guy was a phony whose only talent was to deliver a speech. Nationalized the whole country didn?t give up his lands, brought Pakistan to the brink of destruction after 71 war, quota system, you name it.
I still believe Benazir was way better in terms of her leadership qualities and her services to Pakistan, it?s just that she had one if the most troubling circumstances any leader could ever face.
