Bangladeshis Stared Annhilation When 3 Million Got Murdered By Pak
Military In 1971 ..... .....

World's history is replete with marauding armies indulging in
genocide. It is quite ironic that Bangladeshis, themselves, were at
the receiving end when their correligionists from Pakistan indulged in
perhaps the worst genocide of the 20th century:

If we go by the number of victims, there is nothing that can compare
with the betrayal of East Pakistan by Generals Yahya Khan and Tikka
Khan.

More than 10 million refugess had fled across East Pakistan's border
in 1971 - that's more than the entire population of many an Arab
nation. More than 3 million lost their lives in the genocide - that's
more than the entire population of Jammu & Kashmir in 1948 !!

The average West Pakistani's ignorance on the toll of the 1971
genocide is perhaps understandable in view of the fact that West
Pakistani journals were under strict censorship during those nine
months of infamy in 1971.

But if one is really interested in the truth, he could have always
find out the truth from available literature. Such literature is
available from 1971 itself.

In fact, it was a DAWN correspondent (Anthony Mascarenhas) who gave
some of the earliest eye witness accounts to the outside world in the
midst of the 1971 genocide. Needless to say, he knew quite well that
with General Yahya Khan at the helm, DAWN wouldn't dare/care to
publish his account. He fled to the safety of England with his family
before he allowed his eye witness account to be published in a well
known and well respected British newspaper.

If one bothers to go to the library and research the newspapers during
1971, he'll realize that the genocide was not only well reported but
newspaper accounts tracked the death toll quite well over the 9
months.

Here is the toll of the genocide as reported by some newspapers around
the world during that infamous period:

The Baltimore Sun (5/14/71) : 0.5 million
The Momento, Caracas (6/13/71) : 0.5 - 1.0
Washington Daily News (6/30/71) : 0.2
World Bank Report (June, 71) : 0.2 (up to June 11,
1971)
Die Zeit, Bonn (7/9/71) : 0.5
New York Times (7/14/71) : 0.20 - 0.25
Wall Street Journal (7/23/71) : 0.2 - 1.0
The Christian Sci. Mon. (7/31/71) : 0.25 - 1.00
Newsweek (8/2/71) : 0.25
Time (9/2/71) : 0.2 - 1.0
Newsweek (3/27/72) : 1.5
National Geographic (Sept. 1972) : 3.0

A lot of research has gone into the 1971 killings since the National
Geographic estimate of 3 million in September of 1972. While the exact
number might never be known, most researchers place the estimate
between 1.5 to 3 million.

An authoratative reference would be Professor Rudolf Rummel's seminal
book on democide:

Death By Government
By R.J. Rummel

The hardcover costs about $130.00. However, a paperback is also now
available at about $30.00.

Professor Rudolf Rummel has researched extensively on democide, in
general, and the 1971 killings in particular. In Professor Rummel's
words, "After a well organized military buildup in East Pakistan the
military launched its campaign. No more than 267 days later they had
succeeded in killing perhaps 1,500,000 people, created 10,000,000
refugees who had fled to India.."

If one is unable to land his hands on Professor Rummel's landmark
book, he might look at the following URL:

http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/SOD.CHAP8.HTM

It is a chapter from a Rummel book, "Statistics Of Democide". The
chapter is titled, "Statistics Of Pakistan's Democide Estimates,
Calculations, And Sources"

A lot of books have been published on the topic. If one is really
interested, he needn't depend on West Pakistani publications of 1971
under General Yahya Khan's dictatorship. He can easily research
available literature on the topic and find out for himself what
professional journalists, scholars and researchers have concluded in
their publications.
