The separation of East Pakistan

Re: The separation of East Pakistan

Stuff like an army having undisciplined soldiers happen during every war. They are trained to be like that. Killing is part of war, as is brutal killing. What goes over your head constantly is that Pakistan Army has/had some undisciplined elements, the Bengali Muktihi Bahini had some, every Army has some. Systematic torture and killing is something different though, and this is the difference between what happened in Bangladesh by the Pakistan army and what is currently happening in Kashmir by the Indian army.

The Bangladeshis were not suppressed politically or economically between 1947 and 1971. If you want to discuss this, feel free, I have been through this, and always give concrete examples that prove East Pakistan was not neglected by any West Pakistan based government. In fact West Pakistan based governments were run by Bengalis for some years!

First you refer to brutal killings and these were taken to mean atrocities. Now you change and say everything since 1947. Make your mind up and stick. And the answer is above.

In fact West Pakistani Army was controlled by Bengalis for many years in the decade of the fifties when the likes of Iskendar Mirza and Dogra (both Bengalis) were ruling Pakistan. Bangladeshis or wherever in Pakistan were treated no differently to how India treats much of its citizens under the trickle down system, cases like Orissa etc. In fact, East Pakistan was treated considerably better than most Indian states were treated by their central government.
