Liberation War of Bangladesh


If you tell the story of Liberation War of Bangladesh, you must mention the bravery and far sightedness of “Tajuddin Ahmed, Syed Nazrul Islam, Captain Kamrujjaman, General Ataul Gani Osmani and many others.
Three million people were massacred by the Pakistani military and local collaborators. Hundreds of thousands of women were raped. Village after village, town after town, were burned to the ground. There were dead bodies lying in every plain and floating in every river. There was hardly any family who did not lose something in this War.
At the very end, facing an imminent defeat, the coward Pakistani military and the local collaborators (mostly, Jamat-e-Islami cadars) systematically killed many of the leading intellectuals of the country. These War criminals have never faced justice for crime against the humanity. We should raise conscience among the people of the world to try these criminals. If we forget, as Ely Weasel depicted, “we are guilty, we are accomplices”.
