Comment about Sarmila Bose, Assistant editor and columnist
at Ananda Bazar Patrika and The Telegraph newspapers in India (and a Scholar
according to Pakistani newspaper)
There are people who justify the Jewish
holocaust of fifty years ago, and we call them the worst kind of racists,
today.
However, I have rarely seen an Indian try and sugar-coat, the killing of 3
million Bangladeshis in 1971 - but, I have seen exactly that today. In fact,
Ms. Bose in her article goes further, she tries to credit the "bravery" of
the perpetrators of one of the worst genocide in the last fifty years - a
genocide that killed 3 million civilians in less than 9 months; remember, the
Nazis killed 6 million jews in 6 years.
She writes about the Pakistani army of 1971: "the fighting men seem to have
performed remarkably well against overwhelming odds. It is shocking therefore
to discover that they were not received with honour by their nation on their
return...the answers don’t lie in unthinking vilification of the fighting men
who performed so well in the war"
