Re: India admits to break up of Pakistan
I am not, but ZAB was intoxicated with lust for power. Any impartial reading of history would tell us that ZAB was very close to both daddy Ayub and Yahya. It is a well-documented fact which you cannot negate. He was equally responsible with the establishment for whatever happened in East Pakistan. Bhutto was a charismatic leader and had many good qualities. However, he was not an angel and proved to be a power hungry politician through his various acts which still hurt Pakistan. Blind worship and blind hatred would not help you.
What PAKISTANI military did in East Pakistan during the war was horrific and cruel. Pakistan and military should seek forgiveness from Bangladesh and Bangladeshis. However, what Bangladeshis were angry about in the early days after creation of Pakistan had nothing to do with Punjab or Army.
They were not happy about Urdu being only national language, which Punjab or Military had nothing to do with.
They were not happy about Karachi being capital instead of Dhaka, again Punjabis or Military had nothing to do with.
They were not happy about early attempts at constitution framing, which Punjabis or Military had some influence in.
They were not happy about Industries and businesses in East Pakistan being taken over and run by Karachi based business people. Again Punjabis or military had nothing to do with it.
They were not happy about relative spending in West Pakistan versus East Pakistan. Again, in those days Punjab or Military had little influence over those.
I am sure truth would not make any difference to racist minds. So, I better stop here.
Full Disclosure: I was not born at that time but I have read several independent accounts of what happened during late 60s and early 70s.
