Libaration War of Bangladesh


A little description of our Liberation War

 The Bangladesh Liberation War started in 26th March, 1971 which is called "Muktijuddho" by Bangladeshis. The war was a duration of 9 months long which has been ended on 16th December, 1971. The war started between the state of Pakistan (previously West Pakistan) and East Pakistan in which India intervened on 3 December of 1971. In between this time 30 million citizen of East Pakistan was killed. 

They demolished most of the main part of the country. The West Pakistan started this genocide which called by them Operation Searchlight. They started killing civilians, students, intelligentsia everyone those who are in front of them. The war started because the people of Bangladesh were demanding for the military regime to honor the results of the first ever 1970 democratic elections in Pakistan won by an East Pakistan party. On Dec. 16 1971, the army was defeated and East Pakistan declared independence from the totalitarian regime of West Pakistan. The new nation was baptized as Bangladesh, meaning the “Country of Bengal.”

Bangladesh India Border


The Killing at Border of India-Bangladesh


India and Bangladesh share their border around 2500 miles. Basically Bangladesh border is surrounded by India except a little bit is through Myanmar. Whereas India helped Bangladesh during its Liberation War at 1971. So the Bangladeshis have faith on India from the beginning. Bangladesh is small country comparing to India. So when a country like India is involved in killing Bangladeshi unarmed citizen near border can be said as genocide. We never expect such kind of attitude especially from India.

Before the British divided the border of Indian subcontinent at 1947 Bangladesh, Pakistan and India was together. So the culture of these countries is much more similar. In that case if we think about the killing then it can be said that they are killing their brother, sister or close relatives. This genocide must be stopped and must show friendly relationship with the near country.

If European Union can be together so why this kind of mentality in our subcontinent. We love our world so we should love the people also.
