Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

The persons responsible for the Pakistani split were the west pakistanis themselves. With their air of moral superority they could not digest the fact that the people of east pakistan had any rights !!!

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

Mistakes were on both sides but W. Pakistani army-bureacracy-feudal elite, since they "ruled" Pakistan, had more at stake!

They rather let go of 'bingos' than share power with them.

THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

do west pakistanis really miss bangaldesh? you dont fell connected to bangalees ethnic wise as much as you do with kashmniris

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split…

Maybe except the mentions of 71 and/or some diehards, bangladesh is far off for us (now i remember, we used to call a cut off standalone place in our school as bangladesh lol :smiley: )

Kashmir not only is closer ethnically and religiously to northern pakistan but also holds the jungular vein of water.

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

linguistic dispute was a major cause also, old Pakistani stamps have the name of the country written in 3 languages to appease the east pakistanis.But as mentioned the "military-bureacary-feudal elite" of W.Pakistan were also an important factor

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

exactly what was the fault of bangladeshis.. let me see one bangladeshi won an election and wanted to take reins.. doesn't sound like any fault of theirs to me.. ..........

this is what happens when people talk of ummah love where there exists none

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

Was not so simple read about the politics of that era from some unbiased sources
Mistakes were made by both sides

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split…

What does the war has to do with Ummah?

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

Not trying to be rude, but 'losing' Bangladesh is hardly a reason to be upset.

The country is crap and its people abroad always occupy the lowest socio-economic grouping.

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

^ but that's hard to agree. Losing part of the country for any reason hurts patriotism. losing it after fighting a war to keep it is doubly hurtful to the pride. It's never a good thing

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split…

True, that was so at the time, but looking back, it just saved us a headache

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

Hey, all - Has anybody read the article.
Its about Field Marashan Manekshaw's (who is 90+years now) health condition.
Klub - Bhai thread ka subject line and objective isn't clear. What are you trying to achieve in this discussion

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

The person responsible was hung by General Zia-ul-Haq. Just about the only thing Zia did right.

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split…

^^ thats correct!! he was the main culprit among others.

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

generally west pakistanis dont want to integrate 50% of its own population . how many
bengali people in pakistan army as copmared to pathans?

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split…

An attempt to flame I see? typical indian :o

Anyway, what is the basis of this question in todays’ perspective?

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

I think Pakistanis they themselves blame for this blunder.

Re: The guy responsible for Pak split....

except for that Bangladeshi was a thug. who talked abt freedom, democracy and blah blah but killed and jailed thousands of his own country men for the sake of power. it took a brutal military coup for Bangladesh to get rid of its very first dictator. even today Awami league thugs are bitching and winning all the times becuz they are not getting to share the cake.
