| In 1971 Pakistan Army committed Genocide and Mass-rape in occupied Bangladesh ... Do you disagree, Dr. Abid Bahar ?

Both, however, vehemently protested the move for the partition of Bengal, initiated by most Congress and Hindu Mohasabha leaders of the province. Some Hindu and Muslim leaders of Bengal supported Suhrawardy and Sarat Bose in their move. Prominent among them were Kiran Shankar Roy (Leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party in Bengal Assembly), Satya Ranjan Bakshi (Sarat Bose's Secretary), Abul Hashim (Secretary of the Bengal Provincial Muslim League), Fazlur Rahman (Revenue Minister of the Province), Mohammad ali Chowdhuri (Finance Minister in Suhrawardy's cabinet) and others. For a while, the proposal was discussed both at private and public bodies and important negotiations took place among Bengal leaders.
In fact, the concept of a sovereign independent Bengal had its origins in the past. The adoption of the Lahore Resolution in March 1940 was a significant step towards highlighting the demand for separate homelands for the Muslims of the two Muslim majority zones of India. But the Lahore Resolution remained undefined until April 1946. To the Bengal League leaders, the Pakistan scheme was mainly a proposal for the establishment of two sovereign and independent states in the two Muslim majority zones of India. The majority opinion, represented by Suhrawardy and Abul Hashim, favoured some kind of Greater Bengal consisting of the whole of Bengal and Assam plus an adjacent part of the district of Purnea in Bihar which had a Muslim majority.
khwaja nazimuddin (an influential member of the working committee of Bengal as well as of All India MUSLIM LEAGUE and Maulana AKRAM KHAN (President of Bengal Muslim League) opposed the move. They wanted a more homogeneous Pakistan excluding the Hindu-majority Burdwan Division and including the rest of Bengal, the whole of Assam, and some portion of the Purnea District in Bihar.
During the days of April-May 1947, the Hindu press and politicians began an intense movement for partitioning Bengal. The British Declaration of February 1947 clearly foreshadowed the partition of India. As it became clear to the Congress and Hindu Mahasabha leaders that the partition of the country was inevitable, they insisted on retaining the Hindu-majority areas of Bengal and Hindu & Sikh majority areas of Punjab within the union of India. The Bengal Provincial Congress Committee formally declared in favour of partition of the province and the creation of a separate Hindu majority province (West Bengal) which included Calcutta within the union of India. Almost simultaneously, the Bengal Provincial Hindu Mahasabha took a resolution proclaiming its firm resolve that the Hindus of Bengal, at least the ones in Hindu majority areas, should remain within the Union of India and should not be separated from the rest of India. shyama prasad mukherjee was able to win the majority of Bengal Congress and Bengal Hindu representatives in the Central and Provincial Legislative Assemblies to his side. In a press conference held in Delhi on 27 April 1947, Suhrawardy put forward his plan for a united independent Bengal. Following him Abul Hashim declared his views on the same issue through a statement issued in Calcutta on 29 April 1947. A few days later, Sarat Bose put forward his proposals for a Sovereign Socialist Republic of Bengal.
While the majority of the Bengal Congressmen were opposed to Suhrawardy's scheme for an independent Bengal, the opinion in the League circles also came in favour of the partion. The majority of the Bengal Muslim Leaguers, led by Khwaja Nazimuddin and Maulana Akram Khan, wanted Bengal to be an integral part of the single state of Pakistan, and not an independent state. Nazimuddin, Akram Khan and their followers were just as adamant as Jinnah about Pakistan. They firmly believed in Jinnah's Two Nations Theory.
In spite of the opposition from most Congress and League leaders, Suhrawardy and Hashim continued their efforts to reach an agreement with Hindu leaders of the province on the basis of their schemes. Suhrawardy met Frederick Burrows, Jinnah and Lord mountbatten, at different times and had satisfactory talks with them. Sarat Bose raised a voice of protest against the AICC's March resolution. Kiran Shankar was convinced that if League leaders were prepared to come forward with some offer to the Hindus, the province could still be kept unified. From the beginning of May 1947, the Bengal unificationists thus came closer to each other. They met Gandhi with their proposals during the latter's visit to Calcutta and sought his suggestions. They also tried to persuade the Congress and the League High Commands to accept their views. Finally, a tentative agreement was reached at a meeting, held on 20 May 1947, in Calcutta among Bengali leaders who were favourable to the move for a united and independent Bengal. The following were the terms of the agreement:
| 1. | Bengal would be a Free State. The Free State of Bengal would decide its relations with the rest of India. |
| 2. | The Constitution of the Free State of Bengal would provide for election to the Bengal Legislature on the basis of a joint electorate and adult franchise, with reservation of seats proportionate to the population among Hindus and Muslims. The seats set aside for Hindus and Scheduled Caste Hindus would be distributed amongst them in proportion to their respective population, or in such manner as may be agreed among them. The constituencies would be multiple constituencies and the votes would be distributive and not cumulative. A candidate who got the majority of the votes of his own community cast during the elections and 25 percent of the votes of the other communities so cast, would be declared elected. If no candidate satisfied these conditions, that candidate who got the largest number of votes of his own community would be elected. |
| 3. | On the announcement by His Majesty's Government that the proposal of the Free State of Bengal had been accepted and that Bengal would not be partitioned, the present Bengal Ministry would be dissolved. A new interim Ministry would be brought into being, consisting of an equal number of Muslims and Hindus (including Scheduled Caste Hindus) but excluding the Chief Minister. In this Ministry, Chief Minister would be a Muslim and the Home Minister a Hindu. |
| 4. | Pending the final emergence of a Legislature and a Ministry under the new constitutions, Hindus (including Scheduled Caste Hindus) and Muslims would have an equal share in the Services, including military and police. The Services would be manned by Bengalis. |
| 5. | A Constituent Assembly composed of 30 persons, 16 Muslims and 14 non-Muslims, would be elected by Muslim and non-Muslim members of the Legislature respectively, excluding Europeans. |
After arriving at an agreement among themselves, Suhrawardy, Kiran Shankar Roy and Sarat Chandra Bose tried to secure the approval of the Congress and the League High Commands for the terms of the tentative agreement. But the prevailing misunderstanding between the Congress and the League leaders and the changing political situation completely unnerved the authors of the agreement. The majority of the Congress and League leaders of Bengal denounced the terms of the agreement outright. Influential Hindu dailies of Calcutta and the press belonging to the Khwaja group of the Bengal League started campaigning against the terms of the agreement. While the Khwaja group thought that the agreement would amount to a complete surrender to the Hindus, Congress and Hindu Mahasabha leaders felt that it was designed entirely to extend the frontiers of Pakistan. On 28 May 1947, the Working Committee of the Bengal Provincial Muslim League at its meeting under the Presidentship of Akram Khan denounced the terms of the tentative agreement and reiterated its adherence to the League demand for Pakistan and expressed full confidence in the leadership of Jinnah. The Bengal unity formula received a further setback when, following the statement of the Congress Working Committee, Kalipada Mukherjee, the General Secretary of the Bengal Congress discarded it through a statement issued on 1 June 1947.
In all-India politics, the main opposition to the proposal for a sovereign independent Bengal came from the Indian National Congress. The Congress High Command was frightened of the possibility of permanent domination of Hindus by Muslims in a united Bengal. Both Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel were totally opposed to the concept of a sovereign Bengal. Nehru thought that through this scheme the Muslim League in Bengal would force practically the whole of Bengal to join Pakistan. He further held the view that if Bengal were to remain united it should continue to be a part of the Union of India. He made it clear that Congress would regard a separate state of Bengal as an extension of Pakistan. Sardar Patel too offered determined resistance to the move for Bengal unity. His correspondence with influential Hindu leaders of Bengal during April-June 1947 indicates his role in directing Hindus to the partition of the province as well as his fanatical opposition to the idea of a sovereign Bengal. He condemned those Hindu leaders of Bengal who had got themselves involved in negotiations with the Muslim League leaders of the province.
The approach of the Muslim League High Command to the terms of the tentative agreements was also not favourable. True, Jinnah, was not totally opposed to the proposition. It is evident that he had once offered some encouragement to the scheme. Considering the arguments of Mountbatten that in case of a division of India there should be a partition of the Punjab and Bengal, Jinnah initially was ready to agree to the proposal of a united independent Bengal. His primary consideration was to avert the partition of Bengal; the possibility of a potential alliance between an independent Bengal and Pakistan in the future was of secondary importance to him. But he could not finally settle his mind in favour of the issue. Although apparently he had given his blessings to the move, several factors seemed to have been responsible for making Jinnah reconsider his stand. He rejected the idea in the end, perhaps he felt that it was after all a deviation from the creed of Pakistan. He was not interested in offering any concessions such as joint electorate etc, as incorporated within the terms of the tentative agreement.
The Premier of Bengal had sincerely felt that the formation of a coalition Ministry in the province would be an important step towards bringing the Hindus and Muslims of Bengal closer together as well as preventing the province from being partitioned. But Jinnah never considered these issues to be matters of great urgency. His veto to a coalition cabinet in Bengal proved to be fatal to the Suhrawardy-Bose Formula.
The British were never totally allergic to the idea of a sovereign independent Bengal. Burrows, the Governor of the province, was not at all in favour of the partition of the province. In fact, he was inclined to the Suhrawardy- Bose Formula and had tried his best for its implementation to the last. The Viceroy was also not unwilling to offer united Bengal the status of a Dominion along with India and Pakistan. He had assured Suhrawardy that the British would accept any settlement about Bengal approved by the League and the Congress High Commands. But the British had to look at the question from an all India point of view. They were not eager to compromise the safety of the whole of India for the interest of one province. Hence in the long run the failure of the scheme was inevitable.The final blow to the concept was given when the Congress and the League High Commands accepted Mountbatten Plan (the 3rd June Plan of 1947) for partition of India and for transfer of power to the two Dominions of India and Pakistan.

Syed Aslam is a West Bengali dada who is reading the wrong history for us.He says:"BTW, Samila Bose is related to Sarat Chandra Bose who jointly with Husayan Shahid Shrawardy demanded Greater Bengal as a seperate political entity in 1946, but was opposed by both Muslim League and Hindu Mohashova and part of congress as well ...."Correction: It was the Hindu Mohashova and Nehru particularly not just opposed it but took measures with Hindu Mohashova and the British to divide Bengal. Surprisingly Muslim League/ Jinnah finding Calcutta to be included with India seriously opposed the division of Bengal. Muslim League didn't want the division of provinces but wanted the provinces to join with Pakistan. Most communal dadas from West Bengali India impose this distorted history on Pakistan and Muslims. Syed Aslamda can find this fact in some Indian history books in his native province West Bengal as well.

But, evidently her bias and support for hyenas of Pakistan is well known and explicit through her writings ........ The criminals of Pakistan are saluting her for her "inventions".She has been defending the Pakistan army's attrocities of 1971 in occupied Bangladesh with an intention of white-washing their crimes ...No one (except few hidden pro-Pakistani defeatists) in Bangladesh, irrespective of any political party inclination for AL or BNP will support her efforts for undermining our Glorious War of Independence ....Ms. Sharmila Bose in her paper entitled"Losing the Victims: Problems of Using Women as Weapons in Recounting the Bangladesh War" paints a picture of the Pakistani military as a disciplined force that spared women and children. [she didn't mention about killing unarmed civilians which was the only expertise the Pak army in 1971 Bangladesh has shown.....]She writes:"Pakistan Military officers fought hard. Many foreign correspondents speak well of their bravery. It is the bravery of a Muslim soldier that Indian Military got tough fight. These Pakistani Mard-e-Momin fought so hard that they had almost regained the control of East Pakistan from the dirty hands of Mukt-Bahini. When India saw this, She then started the military action which resulted in the fall of Dhaka......... He (Mujib) was going to make Bangladesh part of India that he was killed timely by the Pakistani military officers (yes those Bengalis who never gave up allegiance to Pakistan. I stand in honor for them). ...... "
Do you approve this analysis by Sarmila Bose, Mister Md.

Do u think it a matter of shame too? "You are right on this .... Why there is no list of Shaheeds? Does Bangladesh Army has one, which is the most organised force in our country? We even have a "Mukti Juddh" ministry...Most of our political parties (in 4-party jote and 14-party jote) in all sides of aisles were inpower for last 40 years .... No one has prepared the list of shaheeds in our liberation war ..[FYI, neither Ms Sarmila Bose nor the Fakistani elites agrees that it was our war of liberation . they call it Indian invasion : Indo-Pak war..... ]PS:We can always debate on the exact numbers, but the bottom line is:in 1971 Pakistan Army committed Genocide and Mass-rape in occupiedBangladesh ...

"Ms. Sharmila Bose in her paper entitled "Losing the Victims: Problems of Using Women as Weapons in Recounting the Bangladesh War paints a bright picture of the Pakistani military as a disciplined force that spared women and children.She writes:During my field research on several incidents in East Pakistan during 1971, Bangladeshi participants and eyewitnesses described battles, raids, massacres and executions, but told me that women were not harmed by the army in these events except by chance such as in crossfire. The pattern that emerged from these incidents was that the Pakistan Army targeted adult males while sparing women and children.Ms. Sharmila Bose's main source of information is the Hamoodur Rahman commission was constituted by Pakistan Government to investigate the the military and political causes of the country's defeat in the 1971 war.Ms Sarmila Bose satutes the Pakistan Army and declares in her writing that"The courageous Pakistan Army stand on the eastern front"One of her main contention is that there has been no mass-rapeof Bangalee women by the Pakistan Army .......[FYI,During 1971 mass rape of Bangladeshi women by the occupying Pakistani Army was a systematic official policy: Infamous General Niazi shamelessly defended the rapists by declaring : "You cannot expect a man to live, fight and die in East Pakistan and go to Jhelum for sex, would you?"ref:[Also see: http://www.dukandar.com/endgame.html ]Pakistani soldiers had not only violated Bengali women on the spot; they abductedtens of hundreds and held them by force in their military barracks for nightly use.

Thank you everybody for your feeling for motherland. I also have seen the war of independence and my house was close to BDR. I was 10 years old then. Once (on 4th of December in 1971) I was about to kill by Pakistani army near Azimpur. What I want to tell that we should love our country and freedom fighters. But we should not distort the history. 3 million people died during the war is absurd. At that time there were 7.5 crore people in the country and if 3 million people were died, there would have shahid in every family. Some of my relatives including my brother were freedom fighter and I found only two persons of my maternal side relatives were killed by Pakistani army and none from paternal side.27, 000 women were raped this may be true,
I have heard about Sarmila Bose but did not have opportunity to read what she said. Can anybody help?
What I want to emphasize that too many people are doing business with the history of war of independence and claiming themselves freedom fighters. I am not politically biased but one thing I must say what I have seen after war of independence shocked me very much. People did the same crime like that of Pakistani army and rajakars and government practically did not take any action. AL people killed, raped and looted the properties of people. For this reason I found many freedom fighters burnt their certificates, What chatra league is doing is very much the activities like that of rajakars. Too many AL people are now grabbing rivers, lands of poor farmers and so on. Many poor farmers had to give up their lands because they could not pay 150 percent interest of joddar and mohajon. Grameen bank came forward to save them and it is largely successful with few exceptions but unfortunately Yunus was removed. Let us see which Awamu sycophants become MD of GB and allow looting of money of the poor.
You may tell BNP activists do the same, I do not disagree and I hate them as well but they do not brand themselves as sole agents of independence what AL does. In this way AL is insulting freedom fighters more than BNP.
Now many people using false certificate of freedom fighters to get job.
My question is that how long we will continue insulting freedom fighters

Mr. Mike Van DusenExecutive Vice President of the Woodrow Wilson Center for International ScholarsDear Mr. Van Dusen,It is with great dismay I tell you that you have organized an event with a controversial writer Sarmila Bose in the month of March which is the 40th anniversary of the beginning of Bangladesh genocide 1971 where 3 million people were killed, 200 thousand women were raped, 10 million people were forced to become refugees to lead a sub-human life during 9 months of the war..These crimes against humanity are well documented including a book by USA Consul General in Dhaka Late Mr. Archer Blood and a report by Late Senator Edward Kennedy.Sarmila Bose's book event on March 15 is an insult to the victims of Bangladesh genocide.I am a Freedom Fighter of Bangladesh liberation war and a witness to the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Pakistani military and their Bengali collaborators. I have written several books on Bangladesh liberation war. My latest book Bullets of '71- A Freedom Fighter's Story describes Bangladesh genocide committed by the Bangladesh war criminals. (See my website www.nurannabi.com to know more about Bangladesh genocide )After 40 years, trial of the Bangladesh war criminals just has started. Since then Bangladesh war criminals and their supporters have started orchestrated campaign to misinform and mislead the world opinion regarding the extent of Bangladesh genocide. Sarmila Bose is a part of that grand scheme.Sarmila Bose and others are promoting their hidden agenda in a very subtle way to protect the Bangladesh war criminals. Its irony that she is using organization like Woodrow Wilson Center in the USA capital to misguide the opinion maker.You must stop this event which is a heinous design of the Bangladesh war criminals. You should allow to let people know the truth about Bangladesh war crimes which Ms Bose is trying to hide and protect the war criminals.I am walling to present evidence for the crimes against humanity in Bangladesh in 1971 perpetrated by Pakistani military and their Bengali collaborators based on my new book.I would appreciate if you invite me to the event to counter Ms. Bose's misleading conclusion and allow me tell the truth to the audience.Looking forward to hearing from you.Regards,Nuran Nabi, PhDCouncilman of Plainsboro Township, NJand a Freedom Fighter of Bangladesh Liberation war
