George Harrison - Bangla Desh
The Bangladesh War, also known as the Liberation War, lasted only 9 months, stemming from an election in which West Pakistan refused to acknowledge East Pakistans majority and their wishes for independence. West Pakistan began a crackdown on the East Pakistani which escalated until the 26th March, when East Pakistan proclaimed their Declaration of Bangladeshi Independence.
The war claimed the lives of an unknown number of people. estimated between 300,000 and 3 million, this on top of a cyclone, a famine and a cholera outbreak in 1970 lasting into 1971 which had already claimed at least half a million lives, the human cost of just two years is still felt to this day.
I originally had a longer explanation for the video as it's pretty forgotten outside of Asia and the UK, unfortunately KZbin had problems with it and restricted the video so I'd encourage people to look into the topic.

Not to mention the fact that you would also expect there to be combat photographers of SOME kind landed w/ the 6th Expeditionary. I'm not sure if the 1/505th & the 1/508th brigade combat teams w/ 82nd Airborne would've included them, or even had any organized & attached, but the USMC must've filmed their actions. They were already including film crews w/ their expeditionary forces in SE Asia/ VN that same year.

As a Bengali and someone whose family's were involved in the war, I appreciate the video since it's something people don't tend to know about. The Bangladesh Liberation War is probably one of the least discussed conflicts with huge ramifications in Asia especially when considering that the countries involved are among the most populous in the world and now having major ramifications in the 21st century. For other commenters and very briefly, Bangladesh, the country size of Iowa and having the 8th largest population in the world, was then called East Pakistan and came into existence after the Partition of India when the British divided the region of Bengal between Hindu and Muslim lines. Both East Pakistan and West Pakistan were put into the same country for having the same religious identity despite East Pakistan being more than 1,200 miles away from West Pakistan ( separated by India and the East to put into perspective is only 300 miles from Thailand) and sharing little in common with each other aside from shared faith. Despite being a more populated and historically very economically productive region (Bengal once amounting to 12% of global GDP in during the Mughal era), there was a strong sense that the region was being exploited economically and did not receive the same level of resources and investment that was going into West Pakistan. When laws were introduced to suppress the ancient Bengali language, identity, and culture (despite Bengali speakers being the majority of combined Pakistan's population) in favour of Urdu (which amounted to around 3% of speakers in Pakistan), this really began the civil discontent/cultural nationalism and is now commemorated by International Mother Language Day. Growing political frustration namely through the sidelining/marginalization of Bengali political parties and leaders including Bengalis who became Prime Ministers of Pakistan by Pakistani political and military establishment (which would often make matters worse by favouring a military coup d'etat hurting Pakistani democratic development) would begin to propel the independence movement. The poor preparation and response to the most disastrous cyclone in history, the 1970 Bhola Cyclone which killed 500,000 people was the catalyst for the war and people having enough leading to Bengali nationalist leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman of the Awami League (People's League) to be Prime Minister-elect yet both the military and political elite refused to acknowledge this, which would lead to the call independence. In anticipation of this, the Pakistan military began "Operation Searchlight" which would begin what is often considered the Bangladeshi Genocide first eliminating intellectuals, religious minorities, and devasting many communities, in an attempt to quell the separatist wave (the effects of this would hurt Bangladesh for many decades) but would only agitate Bengalis in achieving independence through violence by forming the guerrilla resistance group called the Mukhti Bahini after the declaration of independence on March 26 and which would be achieved on December 15 after the humanitarian crisis compelled India to intervene in East Pakistan leading to a Pakistani surrender. The effects of this war on Pakistan were disastrous as it meant a major defeat against India and incapability of securing East Pakistan and would later compel the country to develop nuclear weapons to deter India in the future. Pakistan began to have greater skepticism of the United States which had strongly backed and encouraged Pakistan in the war and gave tacit approval of the atrocities yet felt it was not enough support its maintain sovereignty. The United States had feared that the war and later India's involvement would lead to Soviet domination of South Asia (which never came to be). Pakistan as a result would begin to intensify its efforts on developing an alliance with China which was also rattled by India's intervention. It would also unintentionally contribute to the greater conservatism and Islamism found in Pakistan which really came into fruition after the death of socialist-leaning Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. For India, the war was a strategic victory leaving it more confident especially after a diplomatic failure and military stalemate in 1965 influencing its growing importance. It would propel Indira Gandhi's power and her vision of India but also be the roots for the tumultuous 70s in Indian history and her eventual demise. As for Bangladesh, the war had given independence but the destruction of various industries and annihilation of hundreds of thousands of professionals would leave the country deprived and poor for many decades along with constant political turmoil. The founder of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman would embark on a socialist policy culminating in an attempt to establish greater state control over the economy leaving him alienated with most people resulting in his assassination of him and his family and the beginning of military coups until 1991. The country's fortunes and recovery from the war are only now starting to be realized as the economy has grown rapidly since the 2000s and Bangladesh has made massive strides in economic development and is improving at rate much faster than most other countries in the region. This past year for the first time in its modern history it is now richer than India or Pakistan on a GDP per capita basis and has consistently exceled in various other metrics from health to education to industrialization compared to other countries in the region. For a country once described by Henry Kissinger as a "basketcase", it is now becoming an example of an economic success story despite many decades of tribulation. Yet despite this there are still notable problems that still have yet to be dressed namely political developments as well as rising sea levels thanks to the majority of the country having a low elevation.

Thank you, friend. I didn't know bengali refugees fled as far as the UK during '71. Of course, being from India, we mostly remember the huge influx of refugees we witnessed. Never thought they might have gone to other countries as well. Also, could you tell something about the pre-migration financial situation of the Bengalis in your town? I think they must have been from the tiny moneyed class of East Pakistan at the time of '71. Not many in that country could afford travelling that far to the West. Most just crossed the border into Indian territory, that too with great difficulty. Ask them, if you can, what their families used to do before they came to live here.

Some fun fact about the war, and the general Indo-Pakistani conflict. -This conflict has lead to both sides getting nukes. The US threatening war with India, which is what lead to Pakistan getting a better peace deal than they deserve, lead India to develop nuclear weapons as a deterrent. This convinced Pakistan that it has to have it's own. -Inspired by the Israeli success in the six day war, Pakistan attempted a pre-emptive airstrike at major Indian Airforce bases. However, while the timing did catch the IAF by surprise, they did anticipate this sort of attack, so most planes were in shelter. What damage was done to runways, was repaired within the next time. -Following this debacle, the IAF retaliated against the PAF, and proved to be much more effective. -The Pakistani media lied *hard* about this conflict, so the news of defeat sent the entire state into Chaos. From this Chaos eventually emerged the Radical Islamization of Pakistan, which would in turn help create modern Islamist terrorism as we know it today.

that is India to you. A Nation ,by shape , demarcated in 1947 , after it's partition at the hands of Britishers and insiders, but with a Homogeneous Culture among the various ethnicities far older than Britain itself, as far older even before the stone wall foundation plans was laid . India as a nation is young, but as a culture is one of the far oldest in the world, to which only the Chinese civilization and Judeo/Jewish culture can rival in true terms.

The atrocities committed by the Pakistani forces against the Bangladeshi's were absolutely despicable. The American's, so called torch bearers of democracy and freedom turned a blind eye towards the atrocities committed by the Pakistani's. The surrender of the Pakistani army, almost 93,000 men is the biggest surrender after WW2. Glory to Mukti Bahini, Glory to the Republic of India, Glory to the Great Soviet Union.

My grandfather fought in this conflict, and he was part of some of the very first East Pakistan Rifles battalions to defect and turn their newly supplied FALs against the Pakistanis, who were about to order them to purge villages. He fought his way out of East Bengal and into India for further training and then went back into an active warzone to fight all the way till 16th December. He has killed or caused the deaths of many Pakistani soldiers and collaborators, and in his words, he'd do it all over again without an ounce of hesitation. Bengalis fought for more than their freedom, they fought for their language, culture, and nationhood. Sadly, these three seem to be forgotten more and more with Islam tightening its Arabcentric grip on society slowly. Furthermore, I feel the same way about the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as any self-conscious Jew or Slav would feel about Nazi Germany. They really wanted us Bengalis wiped from the face of the earth. The difference is that the Germans apologized, the Pakistanis never did and they STILL lie about it. Frankly, I want their state destroyed and Balochistan revolting seems fitting for this cursed and diseased 'Islamic Republic'. Just my two cents as a descendant of a Bengali who fought tooth and nail for freedom.

*They fought for their language, culture and nationhood.* Urdu was also imposed on all other ethnicities in West Pakistan. No one complained. It was Bengali Muslims who mainly struggled for partition on religious lines. Yet Bengali Hindu minority - being more educated and holding key positions in all top universities - started impeding any attempt at proper unification of both East Pakistan and West Pakistan. Your reservation about Bengali community becoming more Islamic by each passing day reflects the same mindset that influential Bengali minority had at that time. As Pakistan was really important for capitalist Western world at that time, their governments established a relationship with millitary which was dominated by Punjabis. Bengalis having socialist mindset didn't help. Hence came the inequality that is usually found in capitalist societies. And given the fact that only Bengalis objected to imposition of Urdu as national language, millitary establishment - emboldened by US and UK to protect their interests - grew vary of Bengalis to the point that it developed a racist attitude. The same establisment then started promoting Islam (with Saudi flavor) to avoid any such revolt in future. As far as Balochistan is concerned, there is no threat of any foreign intervention as Balochistan borders 3 other provinces. Today, Pakistan is not being threatened by commies or ethno-nationalists. It is being threatened by the monsters it itself created i.e. radical Islamists.

@@maquacr7014 Bengali Muslims initially joined Pakistan being sold on the false promise of an artificial Muslim homeland by Jinnah, they joined with the understanding that their ways of life would not be interrupted. Then the imposition of Urdu began forcefully when all we asked for is for Bangla to be made a second state language. Racist attitudes among Punjabis and Sindhis against Bengalis were already present in 1948 when they tried to impose Urdu on us, that itself is proof. Furthermore, the primary leaders of the push to make Bengali a state language were Bengali Muslims. The ones who were killed by police in 1952 in a state language protest, who are still memorialized to this day were all Bengali Muslims. Even then, nothing is changed by the fact that Bengali Hindus led the push. It did not make the push for independent Bangladesh less legitimate in any way. If anything, it only made it more legitimate; Hindus are the ones who have kept ancient Bengali traditions intact the most. And of course, why wouldn't I have reservations against the further Arabization* of Bengali culture? We're unique, rich in our own way and we will not easily give up our culture, what we made ourselves for the Arabic script, turbans, full-body burkas, and other symbols of backward desert life. That supremacist, authoritarian, and the failed state of Pakistan sealed their fate and fully legitimized Bangladesh as an independent country when it explicitly set out to exterminate Bengalis. There is separatist sentiment in Balochistan and the Balochistan Liberation Army is currently active. Even though they're weak, I'd say Pakistan has yet to get what it deserves: Total collapse.

@@SpaceMarine500 Typical emotional and ignorant Bindu. Urdu language was imposed on all ethnicities alike. At the time of partition, only 2-3% of Pakistanis had Urdu as their main language. And those people were immigrants from Southern states of India. The question was: which language would the state adopt as a means of communication and day to day activities in two units and later provinces of Pakistan? Arabic, Persian and Urdu were main contenders since these languages didn't belong to any of the main ethnicities in Pakistan. Finally, Urdu was chosen since it had originated in sub-continent. English was chosen as official language alongside Urdu. India also chose Hindi and English as official and national languages. Regarding racist attitudes existing at the time of partition, that is also a lie. Like I said: Bengali Muslims were at the forefront of struggling for an independent state. Without Bengali Muslims, there would be no Pakistan. Jinnah had been a symbol of Hindu Muslim unity till 1928 after which he changed his views. Bengali was given the status of state language when constitution of 1956 was passed. But like I said: powerful millitary establishment - emboldened by USA and UK - would no longer trust Bengalis anymore. Even Sheikh Mujeeb ur Rehman was threatened by USA that an independent state would harm American interests and America would not tolerate. That's why Sheikh Mujeeb ur Rehman himself didn't push for independence in year 1969 and 1970 and kept chanting Pakistan Zindabad till march 1971. Look up his speech on either 23rd March 1971 or 24th March 1971. His main focus was enactment of 6 point policy and more autonomy for East Pakistan on which stupid millitary establishment didn't compromise. As far as Pakistan is concerned, you can keep dreaming, boy. What do you think NATO was doing in Afghanistan? They ran away with their tails between their legs. And so did India. I have my concerns about the image of Islam being tarnished for political hegemony. But it is working. As per realistic worldview, where morality and ethics take a backseat, at least millitary is winning if no one else. USSR no longer present, USA losing 3 trillion dollars in Afghanistan for nothing, China emerging as a upcoming superpower, India mired in conflict in Kashmir. The only problem is need of India to counter China for West. But wait till India becomes more powerful and also starts threatening Western hegemony, and West once again needs Pakistan as its ally. Victory is for those who are patient. Also, no matter how hard Bengali Hindu minority tries to keep Bangladesh and India closer, Pakistan and Bangladesh are natural allies against a hegemon in sub-continent. Akhand Bharat? Dream on.

According to Wikipedia. ¨The genocide in Bangladesh began on 26 March 1971 with the launch of Operation Searchlight, as West Pakistan (now Pakistan) began a military crackdown on the East Pakistan wing (now Bangladesh) of the nation to suppress Bengali calls for self-determination. During the nine-month-long Bangladesh Liberation War, members of the Pakistan Armed Forces and supporting pro-Pakistani Islamist militias from Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami killed between 200,000 and 3,000,000 people and raped between 200,000 and 400,000 Bengali women, according to Bangladeshi and Indian sources, in a systematic campaign of genocidal rape.¨

India should've never accepted the surrender of the Pakistani forces in Bangladesh. Or should've atleast handed them over to newly formed Bangladesh govt. for justice. Those men committed uncountable number of heinous war crimes too grisly to even mention.

Yes, I think it should have been done. this could have been a very oppurtunistic move to reclaim back PoK. This blunder of Indira Gandhi, the Shimla agreement is still haunting Indian geopolitical security to this very day.

Thank you very much for remembering the sacrifices of 3 million souls, for what is today a prospering nation. We may have our problems, and divisions, but atleast we aren't turning into a failed state like Pakistan is. To Indian friends in the comment section. We Bengalis have never discredited India's contributions to our war, and we remember the sacrifices of martyred Indian troops and their families, as much as we do of Bengali martyrs. And we also remember India's hospitality to the millions of Bengalis who went to India as refugees during the war. However, Indians should stop with pushing this narrative that India alone made Bangladesh free, and Bengalis had nothing to do with it. I like to see it more like a joint effort.

Agreed my friend, the citizens of Bangladesh and their continued resistance was just as much if not more important than India's intervention. Your spirit to resist is what drove my India to act, without us your victory might have come at a greater cost and a bit later, but without your resistance it would never have come at all. It is unequivocally you who played the bigger role. Bangladeshis will always be brothers and sisters to India, cheap communal politics and needlessly divisive policies cannot wash away years of shared brotherhood.

Incredibly based Indian rip-off L1A1’s making their appearance. India never officially bought the FN license for the L1A1 rifles they used. FN was about to sue India but India expressed interest in purchasing the FN MAG. So FN kinda just forgot about the whole deal.

Which eventually lead to there decommissioning a few days ago. Yep, those FALs were stolen reverse engineered made a bit more comfortable and were finally inducted into service as ishapore C1s and somehow served till late 2000s and now they can be seen in the hands of college and school students under the military youth training program or National cadet corps.

India also bought FN FALs that were intended for exports to Pakistan. this is how G3 Became a battle rifle to the Pakistanis while FN FAL , L1A1 SLR and Ishapore 1A1 Became Indian Battle rifle . Also FN used this to blackmail India in buying FN CAL but that didn't work out well for FN. FN CAL is what gave birth to the Idea of INSAS in the first place.
