@@amitbfl I assume, you are a Bangladeshi. Dont you dare insult the sacrifices of our martyrs. Martyrs like Rumi, Bodi, Azad who were in their early 20s, could have had a bright future. Yet they chose to suffer so much at the Pakistani army camps. They chose not to open their mouth and preferred death. For what? So that you and I could have a peaceful life free of racial discrimination and constant humiliation. Here, you are, using your mouth to call the land they earned with their blood as east Pakistan. Shame on you. Its Disgraceful. I feel so sad and enraged when Bangladeshis like you consider our beloved country a part of Pakistan. If you still consider yourself a Pakistani, why don't you go to the western wing and settle there? And what ideology? The ideology that permits you to murder and innocent people? I spit on that ideology.

I live in a state called Odisha, which does not have a border with Bangladesh but is very close to it. My grandfather was administrator of a refugee camp, which was funded 40% by govt and 60% on donations. They always had refugees coming from Bangladesh, since 1950 (then East Pakistan). The refugees were mostly Hindus, Christians and Shia Muslims, escaping mobs and riots. But in the late 1968s, the numbers started rising, this time even Sunnis started coming with the others. In 1971, the number peaked. Odisha is a coastal state, so most of the refugees came by boat. Everyday, fishermen would pull boats filled with starving people, that they used to find in the seas. My grandfather was a doctor, so he used to treat the refugees who needed help. In 1971, refugees used to arrive with a lot of injuries. Almost all of them were tortured, men women and children everyone. Some of the stories were harrowing. There's the story of two sisters, one 16 years old and the other 14 years old which sends shudders down my spine even now when I think about it. My father was just a boy back then and he used to help my grandfather. The year 1970 left a permanent mark on him. Today, most of them have settled in India. They have taken citizenship. Some of them have gone back to Bangladesh. My father was recently invited to the wedding of the grandson of one of the refugees. I accompanied him to a city called Kuakata in Bangladesh. It felt good to see those people smiling, even though I had never seen them before. Just thought you might be interested in a small story. Cheers🤍

25:00 Sir. India does not have a federal system. We are not a loose association of states like Pakistan or the USA. We were united under the central government, we drafted a constitution and in the 50s, we were reorganised as states based on linguistic lines. But the central government has the power to redraft the state. Many cases of Indian states being bifurcated or trifurcated for administrative reasons exists. The most recent example is the southern state of Andhra, divided into Andhra and Telangana; the original Andhra state was organised in the 50s and had parts of Madras Province, Hyderabad, Mysore state and other provinces all in it.

From the inception of Pakistan, Bengalis of East Pakistan had faced discrimination. Islam teaches the equality among all human beings as well as fraternity and sorority among all Muslims. We, Bengalis, despite being the majority of the population of Pakistan as well as despite being a Muslim majority, were neither being treated as brothers/sisters nor being treated as equal. West Pakistan used to look down upon Bengalis because of our darker skin tone. Bengalis were NOT given equal opportunity to good education and respectable jobs, despite having intelligence and talents. Furthermore, resources of East Pakistan were being used for the development of West Pakistan and our people used to starve. On 1970, a cyclone hit in the coastal areas of East Pakistan, causing a lot of casualties. Pakistan Government didn’t bother. That’s the time we’ve realized that we need a leader from our own community. In the beginning of 1971, there was an election and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won the maximum votes. West Pakistan couldn’t digest the fact that a Bengali (someone from an inferior race) would rule them. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested, but was released later. On that moment, the whole Bengali nation felt the need of becoming an independent nation. So the war began. From the night of March 25, 1971, Yahya Khan and Tikka Khan pounced upon unarmed Bengalis in the name of “Operation Searchlight” and started killing our innocent people as well as picking up our women for rape. During those days, Pakistan Army proudly declared in the newspaper, “We will leave a nation of bastards and idiots.” About three million (3,000,000) Bengalis were being killed mercilessly (including our bright professionals) and two lakh (200,000) Bengali women were being raped repeatedly in the concentration camp by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators (Razakars). Women, who were being raped, got pregnant. Many women terminated their pregnancy. Those who couldn’t, delivered babies and abandoned them. These abandoned kids were given away for the adoption. Most of those babies were adopted by foreigners and were taken away to foreign countries. Others were adopted by our local people.

Shehzad and Yousuf Nazar Sahab, thank you for a discussion that told Pakistan's side of the story. I was nearing the end of my 'Masters' program at Calcutta University when the war in East Bengal ended on 16-Dec-1971. Residents in and around Calcutta were lucky; we had a ringside view. Plot allotment in Pakistan has also thrown up a little spoken of problem -- concurrently shrinking agricultural and horticultural land. Productive fruit orchards and cropping areas have been compromised to accommodate plotting. According to 2018 figures, Pakistan's crop yield dropped to among the world's lowest levels; it's agricultural productivity slid below 50%; this forced Pakistan to close the gap by importing such food items instead.

Book recommendations by Mr. Yousuf Nazar: 1) Gambling on Development by Stefan Dercon 2) The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros. I have read the latter and it's a great book. I will read the earlier one. I love your conversation style and wisdom & experience of Mr. Nazar.

Midway through the podcast I realised that independence of Pakistan and Bangladesh is seen mostly as partition from India, hence the heroes are Jinnah, Iqbal etc in Pakistan, Mujeeb, Soharawardi etc in Bangladesh. This has the effect of dare I say, ignorance about the British Raj and missing historical perspective about those 200 years. So up until 1947, what Pakistan, Bangladesh memorize is history of Muslim league, which is just the last chapter of the whole saga of colonization of India. In Indian history books about that era, they start from the East India company, go through the many wars between the British and the Indian kingdoms, then rise of Congress and the many colors of resistance against the British, then very late in the books the Muslim league arrives and whatever happens next is seen in India somewhat through lens of the Congress (which isn't the best way but still informative). I believe it's a gigantic wealth of historical knowledge that Pakistan and Bangladesh are missing out on. There are countless heroes to be remembered by both and many crucial incidents to be known. There are tons of stories of individuals that are awe inspiring and make you appreciate what happened to this country.

[@IITTPPEEDD]

Agree. Another point especially regarding partition, especially Punjab is, that while Indians looks at partition as a sad event that divided the country, and that’s what is taught to us, and you will see Indian punjabis lamenting the event, on the Pakistani side it is a celebrated event. For them it was creation of their nation and I have rarely seen any Punjabi Pakistani even those who suffered in 47, talking about it with sadness. That’s something that I only realized through you tube videos! A very different perspective!

[@IITTPPEEDD]

Also, they are missing out on this knowledge because their historybooks are designed to do that! To justify the two nation theory down and religious narrative behind creating Pakistan.

[@n2201]

The problem with Pakistan is the well-meaning intellectuals have to spend so much time explaining the history and past and who is responsible that not much time remains to worry about the future! Unfortunate!

[@ShyamKumar-zb2mw]

The guest already suggested the next steps. Not sure if you heard it. The hardest part is NOT knowing what to do - but to actually doing / implementing it. That is because it involves the elites of PK working collaboratively and sacrificing their personal self-interests in the interest of PK. And that we can bet that the elites of PK are highly unlikely to that. (The guest said that he does not see that happening in his lifetime.) For them - it is not about doing what is good for PK - but what is there in it for me. The guest said all that in the Podcast if you heard it.

[@shahidsheikh4578]

Let me set the record straight in 1972 India did Attack west Pakistan and we lost lot of land in west and the biggest loss was when Zulfiquar Ali Butto lost Kashmir when Indra Gandhi forced Butto to sign the agreement that Kashmir is no more a international dispute , only it’s a bilateral issue which we will try to solve among ourselves, and we are not going to raise this dispute on any international forum also land which was captured from Pakistan claiming that this is our land rather whole of Kashmir is India , only they return west Pakistan captured land and solders prisoners any way I rember it was a sad and black day, I saw lot of people crying

Gul Hasan has described his removal in his memoirs published by OUP. While Khar was driving, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi held a pistol pressed against Gul Hasan ribs. Both Gul Hasan and Rahim Khan had already signed their (prepared) resignations earlier during their 'lunch' with Bhutto.

[@mohammedsaqib4527]

20 mins in the podcast and i am disappointed by how shehzad is just letting him paint a narrative without any probing questions. did bhutto not say "east Pakistan is saved" after returning back to west Pakistan after the start of the military operation? he certainly was not an innocent bystander as yousuf nazar sahab is painting him to be.

[@ahhmadfarooq4619]

I was also thinking the same thing. Bhutto landed in pakistan after the operation began and said ' By the grace of God ,pakistan is saved' . He wasnt a bystander but a cheerleader of genocide at least.

In a Podcast, you have to listen to the other person. Everyone's opinion matters, you don't have to correct them. Maybe some other guest in future might present a different picture and then the audience can decide what's suits them.
