There are some people who always try to find issues to disparage our father of the nation. This theory that Mujib did not know the difference between lakh and million is an old one surfacing again. I don't really know whether 3 million, or 3 lakh, 1 lakh or even 50,000 (as esmated by Tikka Khan) people got killed and truth of the matter is nobody will really know. Those of us who has actually been through
1971 never tried to count the number of deads-we were too busy running for our lives. But as a first hand eye witlesss who was in Dacca the whole nine months, let me tell you, we lived a life of terror. There were buildings burned, men pulled out of buses and killed just because the bastard didn't like their faces. And if you were Hindu, you were killed right away. Every Bengali was scared every single day thinking he or she may not see the end of day.Anyway about the `million' number-it came from foreign press. So if
we want to blame some one about incorrect estimate we should blame Time, Newsweek and other Internation press-not Mujib who was not relesed from Pakistani prison till early 1972. Please watch this video of Mujib. Hope this will clarify that Mujib knew the difference between lakh and million. Hear him say "No body can suppress 70 million people." No, he did not mean 70 lakhs, he meant 7 crores.
