The biggest Genocide Did by Pakistani army was Operating Searchlight. Google Operation Searchlight..It was the biggest Genocide Did by the army to its own people at that time.

This is a pretty sensitive topic so kudos to you for covering it. My mom and dad were kids during the Bangladeshi War and its pretty strange hearing from them how casually the Pakistani Army killed people. My parents both mentioned that the trains were a common source of violence. The PK army would board trains and at each station, fire at any civilians waiting there. People in Dhaka would regularly wave white flags on apartment roofs to inform Air Force pilots to not bomb them. My dad and his sisters would put uncooked rice in salt water and each it uncooked because power/gas were out. Resistance fighters would eat a similar diet and would often join regular families to eat. My mom and her sister had a dedicated guard who was responsible for taking them and running as far away as possible in case their house was attacked. My grandfather was a teacher at the local college so he was likely to be a target in case of an attack. What was most interesting was how casually my parents talked about it. Being born in the west, I think liberal norms and rules of engagement add a deeper impact to civilian violence but to my parents who were growing up with violence around them it's just another day. Unfortunately, I think this "violence is normal" mindset has impacted Bangladesh to this day and religious violence especially against Hindus is still common. The targeting of teachers and academics is also a problem since it hurts the next generation. I think Bangladesh only really recovered that loss of academic talent in recent years and hence you see recent economic boom. Great video mate cheers.

India leaned toward the USSR as a response to its economic and political position when it gaining independence from the British. Whether due to actual ill-intent or natural market forces, India suffered series of de-industrialization leading up to independence. So although seemingly democratic and officially part of the so-called Non Aligned Movement (initiated by Indian Prime Minister Nehru in 1961 at Belgrade, Yugoslavia) during the Cold War, India incorporated socialist mixed-market economic policies in an effort to build up the nation. Which is why India established strategic, military and trade ties to the USSR, especially during Khrushchev's de-Stalinist reform period who was eager to keep India in a so-called non-aligned status. Pakistan and the U.S. forged stronger ties due to the geo-political leanings of the ruling Pakistan class and their shared interest against the USSR and Communism. Of course I am simplifying a bit of what happened, but it's a start.

My great grandfather fought in World War 2 in North Africa and Italy. He was captured by the Germans, lost his fingernails and toes to them, but managed to escape. He rejoined his unit and fought with them until he was again injured in 1945, and shifted to a hospital in Hove, Sussex. He stayed there for sometime and came back in 1947 to join the Indian army. He retired in 1957. He had setup a refugee camp in my home state of Odisha, India which is very close to Bangladesh by sea, but doesn't have a land border. In the 1960s, Shia Muslims and Hindus used to escape persecution in Bangladesh and come to his refugee camp. It didn't have many people, and it was quite easy to assimilate them in the Indian population. But in 1971, his camp was filled to the brim. Everyday Odisha's fishermen used to pull boatloads of refugees from the sea, and this time Sunni muslims were escaping too. He and my grandfather both were perplexed, as they couldn't put Sunni Muslims along with the previous Shia Muslim and Hindu refugees. It was a logistical nightmare. Most of these boats would just be wandering around on the sea, with people emaciated from hunger. God knows how many people just drifted away in the sea. At it's peak, his camp had 11,000 people. The condition of women and children was particularly bad. Kids as young as 14 were with child. Almost all of them had been victims of GBV. Feeding them and medically treating them was a nightmare, and so he called upon his old mates from the British army to help. They were denied entry as Britain had sent it's Eagle fleet against the Indian Navy to support the Pakistanis, and it wasn't received well in India. So they entered India through "cheaper" means (going to Malaysia and smuggling themselves in a cargo ship) in early 1972 and set to work in the refugee camp. By the 1980s, all of the camp's refugees had been either repatriated or had been resettled with jobs and businesses in India. All of the orphans were put up for adoption, both in India and in Britain. In 2002, the camp was officially shutdown by my grandfather (GG had passed away by then). My dad grew up with Bangladeshi kids. To this day, he gets very happy whenever he sees Bangladesh do well. India will always have a soft spot for Bangladesh, especially the Indians on the East Coast who were exposed to the conflict.

Amazing. Salute to your Frand Father

I am from India, and I was born and brought up in a village right alongside current India Bangladesh border (Village name Gitaldaha, you can locate it on google map). My parents saw the atrocities that were committed by Pak soldiers to the Bangladeshi people and the horror of the migrants, it's still fresh in their minds. My family was originally from Bangladesh and my grandfather decided to move to India in 1946, a year before my father was born. He thanked God his whole life for not having to put his children through the 1947/48 massacre, and my parents thanks God that me and my sister didn't have to see or suffer 1971. 😢 Unspeakable atrocities were comitted by West Pak soldiers which will put Japanese soldiers at Nanking to shame. 😢 In Bengali literature, you can still find the glimpse of the pain and suffering. But it was so bad, the people actually had to suffer, won't even say anything, they just say "you don't want to know" and if you look at their face, you know what they are hiding.

Bangladesh created its own problems. First it demanded separate land for Muslims, a land to rule over and make non-muslims as dhimmis. Everything was going find and their cumulative hatred for Hindus kept them united, until the elections. Once the election results showcased that Bengalis will lead the new Pakistan, the punjabis and pathans looked down upon dirt dark bengalis, often equated as kafirs due to their affinity for a language local to the land (Bangla). They paid for their own sins, but again the Hindus suffered and 7million , mostly Hindus left East Pakistan. India had no other option that to intervene. Bangaldesis may easily absolve of themsleves and paint themselves as victim, but what unites Bangaldeshis and Pakistanis (the islamic mindset of bromance), is hatred of Hindus!

It was a massive logistical problem to manage all those 90,000 Pakistani PoWs. They had to be provided with food, clothes, medical care, accomodation. There were bureaucratic hurdles to be overcome. Their family members were worried, they were writing mails, sending parcels, which had to delivered to these PoWs. A system of making some payments to these PoWs had to be formulated by Indian govt so that they can buy certain things from Indian military canteen stores, as they were staying for an extended period of time. It took a few years before all 90K of them could be sent back home. 13 days of war resulted in this years of mess.

But unfortunately for you and your army what ends up happening after all this mindless wastage of your hard earned money your army is constantly involved in is that the moment those terrorists enter our borders with nefarious designs they are hunted down and sent straight to the 72 hoors that await them in heaven courtesy our ever present and ever vigilant armed forces.Till the day you disband these countless terror groups voluntarily nothing is going to change for the citizens of your country ..on the contrary your condition will just keep on worsening day after day ,year after year ultimately spiralling down into an unending cycle of chaos,violence,bloodshed and anarchy...attributes that will one day result in your country being declared a failed state and trust me right now you people are at the deep end of that spiral with not a single conscientious soul in your government and army interested in and capable of stopping your decline into the depths of eternal doom and complete annihilation that is rubbing it's hands in excitement desperately waiting for your now foretold arrival. If any one of you cowards still believe in the concept of jihad and ghazwa e hind perpetrated by your resident lunatic defence experts like the great Mr. Zahil Hamid and the unabashedly suave and swashbuckling Mr.orya maqbool jaan then let me warn you that it's not the 72 hoors those two keep telling you about who are desperately waiting for you in heaven but what really awaits to welcome you at the gates of hellfire is the devil's minions who are experts in every torture tactic you can think of like,boiling alive in burning hot oil,drawing and quartering and then feeding your intestines to you keeping you conscious as it progresses so that you can not just see yourself getting mercilessly butchered but can also feel every second of the pain that accompanies such unspeakable and inhumane methods of torture.

Not to mention psychologically as well. In 60's and 70's, they actually had a doctrine that stated that only muslims deserved to rule the Indian subcontinent, and Hindus around the subcontinent must be subjugated and converted, as part of their 1,000 year old jihad called 'Ghazwa-e-Hind'. During 65 & 71, they even managed to fool their population by proclaiming that ''1 muslim man equals 10 infidel hindus'. Imagine the humiliation they went through after this war, because of which, they later realized that its impossible to defeat India militarily, so they must adopt guerilla tactics, which they called 'death by thousand cuts'. As part of this, they would overwhelm India through 1000s of terror attacks, which they believed would soften the ground for an actual invasion.

So what led to east Pakistan becoming free was: - Funding and resources diverted from one province to another - Horrendus atrocities against locals like rape, forced disappearance and good old murder - The former factors contribute to discontent and hatred towards Pakistan leading to active insurgency which is opportunistically supported by foreigners Looks like Baluchistan is next😉

Great video. Very interesting. Just one thing that confused me was the mention of "300 years of British colonial rule". In the early days (16th C) there were also the Portuguese, Dutch, French, and Danish in the region, and I thought that the British East India Company only properly took control in 1757, and the British governmant took over administration in 1858. So I guess you're looking at about 190 years of total rule (or Raj) with only 90 being under the British Crown.

The Partition shouldnt have happened. While the Indian subcontinent is vast and wide - it is a nation that had always managed to be multicultural and multireligous. Centuries of being under the British yoke had forced what wouldve otherwise been bitter enemies to become partners into a united India. The partition was a very unnatural solution and to a people desperate for independence, they had accepted without realizing that their brother yesterday was going to be an enemy tomorrow. For all the faults of colonialism - its one silver lining is that it forced people, no matter the background to cooperate and work together. As someone who came from a nation birthed into existence because of colonialism (because if not for the Spanish, we literally wouldnt have been united; so much so that we didnt even change our name from the time of being a colony) - the tragic fate of the Indian subcontinent breaks my heart. I know for a fact it can be done, as we have done ourselves but the British - in their reckless and out-of-touch sensibilities have forever plunged what wouldve otherwise been a truly magnificent multicultural union rivaling the United States of America. Our past had always looked up to the Indian subcontinent and it was its traders that brought culture and religion to the disparate islands of Southeast Asia. I still dream of a united India, even if I am not Indian myself.

I'm not supporting the partition, but unfortunately it seems there weren't many other options.

From my perspective, it was about the only option Britain had at the time other than A.) Leaving the country in anarchy or B.) Keeping control of India.

Nice idea

ah yes, Sam Bahadur's moment

What some people get wrong about this war is it didn't start in dec 3, 1971. It started in 25th march with the beginning of "operation search light". And almost everyone get the ending wrong. It ended in 16th december only in paper and for the indians. For us it officially ended in 2nd, February 1972 with the capture of Mirpur.

Stop uttering cr..p war ended with surrender of pakistan to joint command. U should've commented on how he is calling it indopak war not bangladesh war of independence. BTW I m not denying mujib was essential for our independence struggle.

The country ain't fully liberated even if a small part of it has hostile forces in it. That includes biharis, rajakars, and pakistani soldiers in civilian clothing. Mirpur wasn't liberated until 1972. That is what I was talking about. Read about it you pr*ck.

Well, this video isn't focused on the Bangladeshi independence movement. It's focused on the war between India and Pakistan that on paper started on Dec 3, 1971 and ended on Dec 16, 1971 which India still celebrates as Vijay Diwas (Victory Day).

very informative.

Great video 📹👍,but slight issue 2:21 map of india is incorrect 🙄 make sure you fix it 😀 👍

Thanks!

My mother told me stories about this when I was young, she was bought up in Birmingham whilst her family was in sylhet, her uncle was Muhammad Osmani who I heard great stories when I was in her family village of Duiamir, it's sad what happened, what some my mums family went through, if she wasn't leaving with her family in Birmingham then she believes we wouldn't be here. I have many British Pakistani friends, I have told them stories and they know how bad Pakistan was, even currently with what they are doing with the honorable Mr Khan, o ya Bangladesh is just as bad. On both sides its not the people, its the officials

Bangladesh is still an impoverished nation to this day, but thanks to this education, my respect for this country could not be higher. It truly hurts to know how many good people were murdered for their bravery in standing up to form nations in this way. Thankfully, since the age of the internet, the world now gets to finally learn the details of just how harsh these times were. I was born in 1974, and I thought I knew what 'partition' meant, but it now turns out, I knew nothing. I will also take this opportunity to lambast the BBC, for an episode of Doctor Who, in it's darkest Jodie Whittaker days, for placing all of the blame for partition upon the British, and for it having race at its centre. This is clearly untrue, since independence comes with choices to be made by those fledgling nations. To expect the crown to not aid and stand alongside India after 300 years is insane, and had nothing to do with religion. Partition was made simpler by religious division based only upon numbers. Again, a Christian nation, as with any Muslim nation, could not be expected to side against India, which does contain a considerable amount of Christians. I won't apologise for this simplification, as it only goes to emphasise the horrors that followed, when people decide to kill each other over territory. It is yet another example of how religion is almost always responsible for deadly conflict. I am grateful at least, that today, we have learned this, and it is the main reason that so many choose to distance themselves from religion. That brings it's own consequences, as those same people are now constantly hit by those in power by anything else they can throw to divide people. Anyone who still thinks the LGBT does anything but divide, are the ones who are the fall guys for the exact same way of thinking. If any decision taken divides any people, it is never a good decision. Partition therefore was the best available at the time, but nobody would ever consider it a good decision. My respect is for all those who have made the best from the worst off times. Pakistan, India and Bangladesh still all exist. Perhaps one day, when all the people of the world realise the sole futility of division, three nations might become one. I would say the same for Ireland, though those I speak to believe that to be impossible. I believe nothing is impossible.

Another piece of excellent decolonisation and nation building by the British. Drawing lines on inaccurate maps in London worked so well. Did the same in the middle east and that's been no trouble at all😢

@@Anmeteor9663 I'm sorry you seemed to have had two problems here. You watched a different video, and you've allowed yourself to be taught by lying Liberals. You gave yourself away by mentioning London by the way. That political bubble is the next line that should be drawn. London acts like it's a totally separate country, and does nothing to reflect the United Kingdom at all. If anything, it does nothing but hurt our country, and those who speak like you, need to travel more. Born in Manchester, lived in London, travelled to India. I assure you that what you think you know, is in fact bull. Take your pick from these two options..... 1) No independence for India or 2) Civil war (because that was what this really was) that always happens when a power vacuum exists, after a major power leaves any situation. Are you going to blame Britain for Hong Kong too? You'd think you would stfu when you have a video full of facts to watch. It's more likely you didn't actually watch it all, and just trolled the comments. Nick Meteor? Your world is fantasy.

@@dragonstormdipro1013 Thank you. I'm so annoyed that i was misled for so long. Bangladesh has horrible circumstances, but the people there live free, by their own choice. I know that's easy to say for me, but given the attitude of the west to power right now, I'm not sure that we live as freely as we think, and faced with any sort of similar situation, I'm not sure we would fight at all. Today, people don't stand together. They are all about themselves, so when I get a comment like yours, I'm so glad to find people still think alike. Faith in humanity restored. Oh wait, I just read Nick Meteor's comment 🙈 He'll tell me that Britain created forced slaves next. Only African tribal leaders created slaves, not any white man. People bought slaves when it was legal to, and I'm pretty sure the British Empire did not exist at the time slavery first became in human history. We did stop the trade and it cost us 70 years of money. We also fought alone twice in World Wars until backup arrived (we paid for every bullet the U.S gave us) The total cost of those two world wars was equal to every penny gained in Empire. So you could look at it like this. The British Empire spent every last penny to save the world, whilst the United States was getting it's big boy pants on. You're welcome 👍🏻 I will take the hit on exchanging tea for opium in China though, and then threatening invasion if the trade didn't continue. That was a shitty call in any history.

I think people tend to blame common people of a country for the wrongdoings done mainly by select politicians. British Raj had it’s pros and cons like any civilisations. It's really unwise to dwelve too much into the past in many cases cause up until 1945, humanity as a whole, was much more brutal than today. In modern times, people have struggled a lot to make their lives better, and to a large part, they succeeded. Be it British, Indians, Bangladeshis.

Being a politician or political leader has more often then not been the cause of a shortened life expectancy in the “sub continent” since the end of WW2

Great Video 🌹

Why is there a question mark at the end of the video title?

Why Indian army took out Pakistani soldiers trousers in Bangladesh and sent them without cloths to Pakistan ?

USA : We will lecture the world on democracy and Human rights Also USA : huh, genocide and rape of millions, that's minor issue, the important thing is that we support Pakistan.
