Exposing Pakistan's Disturbing Past: Atrocities Too Evil To Comprehend

Summary

1947年，英国放弃南亚殖民地，印度和巴基斯坦诞生。边界按宗教划分，但这种分界引发了更深的冲突。巴基斯坦分为西巴基斯坦和东巴基斯坦（即今天的孟加拉国），两地之间的文化、语言差异巨大。东巴基斯坦的孟加拉人长期受压迫，最终在1971年争取独立，引发巴基斯坦的血腥镇压。孟加拉独立战争导致了大规模的种族灭绝，最终在印度的介入下，孟加拉国赢得独立。尽管屠杀造成了巨大的伤亡，国际社会对这一事件的关注逐渐消失，责任人也未被追究。

🇮🇳 印度与巴基斯坦的诞生

1947年，英国放弃南亚殖民地，导致印度和巴基斯坦两国的诞生。尽管两国的边界是按宗教划分的，但地理和文化的复杂性远超简单的地图分界。巴基斯坦的领土分为西部的巴基斯坦和东部的现今孟加拉国。然而，这一分裂并未减少宗教冲突，反而为战争和种族屠杀埋下了伏笔。

05:00

🇵🇰 巴基斯坦的内部分裂与歧视

巴基斯坦在1947年成立时，包括现今的巴基斯坦和孟加拉国。尽管两地的穆斯林信仰相同，但语言、种族和文化差异使得东部的孟加拉人被西巴基斯坦的乌尔都语精英阶层歧视和剥削。特别是，孟加拉地区的资源被掠夺，而回报甚微，导致了强烈的不满情绪。

10:03

⚔️ 孟加拉独立战争的开端

1970年，巴基斯坦的选举使孟加拉的阿瓦米联盟获得了压倒性胜利，但西巴基斯坦拒绝接受这一结果。随后，孟加拉人发起了大罢工，要求更多的自治。随着谈判的破裂，巴基斯坦政府决定通过军事手段解决危机，这标志着孟加拉独立战争的开始。

15:03

🔫 “搜索光行动”与种族屠杀的开始

1971年3月25日，巴基斯坦发动了“搜索光行动”，大规模袭击东巴基斯坦的主要城市，目标是消灭孟加拉独立运动的领导阶层。这一行动在达卡大学进行了著名的屠杀，标志着对孟加拉人的种族屠杀正式开始。

🛡️ 孟加拉的抵抗与游击战

尽管遭受严重打击，孟加拉人在谢赫·穆吉布的号召下展开了抵抗。虽然早期的抵抗零散且缺乏协调，但随着时间的推移，游击战逐渐成型，并得到了印度政府的支持，形成了对巴基斯坦的有效反击。

🔥 大规模屠杀与性暴力

巴基斯坦的军事行动不仅针对年轻男性，还系统性地对妇女和女孩实施性暴力。成千上万的孟加拉妇女遭受了强奸和虐待，这种暴行既是为了恐吓孟加拉人，也是为了摧毁其社会结构。

🇮🇳 印度的介入与国际反应

孟加拉的难民危机促使印度干预，尽管国际社会的反应不一，但印度成功说服了美国停止对巴基斯坦的军事援助，并在1971年12月成功地与孟加拉抵抗力量联手，击败了巴基斯坦军队。

⚖️ 孟加拉国的胜利与战争的余波

1971年12月，孟加拉与印度联军攻入达卡，标志着孟加拉国的胜利和独立。然而，战争的遗留问题，包括种族屠杀的后果、社会创伤以及复仇性暴力，仍然对孟加拉国产生了深远影响。

when Britain let go of its Empire in

South Asia in 1947 it left behind two

massive States India and Pakistan their

borders were drawn along religious lines

but is geography really so simple as a

line on a map South Asia's Muslim

majority areas laid to the northwest of

the subcontinent and in the Northeast

the Nations we know today is Pakistan

and Bangladesh respectively the British

thought that such a division between

India and Pakistan would minimize

religious conflict instead it drew the

battle lines for divisions that would

spill over into war and attempted

genocide today on a day in history we

look at the genocide inflicted upon

Bangladesh during its Liberation war in

the suffering that surrounded the birth

of a new nation whose only crime was

winning an election before we begin

the Dominion of Pakistan came into

existence in 1947 covering the modern

area of Pakistan in the west and

Bangladesh in the East their shared

Muslim faith was not enough to bridge

the many linguistic ethnic and cultural

gaps between the two sides of the

country west Pakistan and its

urdu-speaking Elites dominated the

entire State although the ethnically

Bengali East were the majority of the

population the Bengali majority was

discriminated against in education the

military politics and other aspects of

life this discrimination fell especially

hard on the Hindu minority but the

Muslim majority was also characterized

as a lesser cultural interracial group

to the Western Pakistani the Pakistani

government also tried to suppress

Bengali culture arts and literature as

two Hindu leaning on top of this

economic exploitation of the East

Resources with minimal return investment

also create created resentment and left

the East feeling more like a colony than

an equal partner despite this the

bengalis were reputed for their

non-violence their discontent was

funneled through Democratic means namely

the awami league AO under the leadership

of Sheikh mujibor Rahman also known as

Sheikh mujib the AL pushed for more

autonomy for East Pakistan but try as

they might the bengalis did not get the

Democratic resolution they'd hoped for

1970 was the breaking point severe

flooding in August and a devastating

cyclone in November killed thousands in

the East but the government response was

weak and incompetent Decades of

discrimination only made the government

response sting more in support for

Bengali autonomy even outright

Independence surged things changed when

Pakistan's military dictator General

Yaya Khan allowed Pakistan's first ever

Democratic elections to take place in

December of that year

Sheikh mujib and the awami league

eagerly seized the opportunity to

campaign and force the Pakistani

government to concede to their demands

for more autonomy

the Pakistani authorities had

miscalculated they believed the AL was a

vocal minority Al might win 60 or 70

seats in the East but nowhere near

enough to be a serious problem they were

wrong when the results came in

167 of East Pakistan's 169 seats went to

the AO they weren't just the largest

party in the East but the single largest

party in Pakistan as a whole Yaya Khan's

government refused to concede they'd

favored the Pakistan People's Party of

zulfikar alibuto Bhutto refused to

recognize his rival's victory and

famously threatened to break the legs of

any official who accepted mujib's

Victory Yaya Khan Bhutto and mujib met

in early 1971 to negotiate through the

crisis but got nowhere and it was clear

that the Pakistani authorities would not

allow the AL to take up their Democratic

man dates in March 1971 Yaya Khan

blocked the ale from forming their new

government in response Sheikh mujeeb and

the AL called for a general strike

across all of East Pakistan Farmers

railroad workers soldiers government

officials police teachers and more

walked out grinding the entire region to

Halt one final attempt to negotiate

failed and Pakistan decided that the

only solution to the crisis was false

throughout March Yaya Khan had been

secretly transferring thousands of

soldiers into East Pakistan in

preparation for a military solution to

the crisis Yaya delegated this task to

General Tika Khan who'd already earned

the nickname of the Butcher of

Balochistan for his brutal suppression

of unrest in that region Yaya Khan

believed that overwhelming military

force would crush the Bengali

nationalists and force the rest into

submission kill 3 million he said and

the rest will eat out of our hands

on the night of March 25th Yaya launched

operation Searchlight it was a massive

coordinated strike on almost every major

city in East Pakistan Pakistani troops

targeted Al Party leaders civil

officials police intellectuals academics

and anyone else who could act as a

leadership class to the independence

movement were hunted down the most

well-known attack on that night occurred

at Dhaka University the Pakistani

authorities wanted to eliminate the

academics and students of Bangladesh's

best university to deprive the people of

some of its greatest potential leaders

Pakistani troops entered the campus and

went room to room dormitory by dormitory

rounded up teachers and students marched

them into the open and executed them at

least 10 teachers and a hundred students

were massacred in a single night some of

the students were forced to dig Graves

for the massacre victims before being

executed them elves this was the first

stage of the genocide by decapitating

the Bengali leadership Pakistan hoped to

leave the rest of the bengalis as weak

and easy prey the next day Sheikh mujib

issued a telegram to the public

announcing that they would meet the

Pakistani attacks with equal force East

Pakistan was no more and the nation of

Bangladesh was now fighting for its

freedom he wrote Today Bangladesh is a

sovereign and independent country the

bengalis are fighting the enemy with

great courage for an independent

Bangladesh may Allah Aid us in our fight

for Freedom Joy Bangla May Bangladesh be

victorious

Sheikh mujib was arrested shortly after

and spent the rest of 1971 in prison in

his absence the bengalis heeded his

court fights five battalions of the East

Bengal Regiment mutinied and civilians

armed themselves for guerrilla warfare

against their aggressors this Collective

resistance became known as the mukti

bahini

Bangladesh's limited military forces put

up a spirited resistance to the

Pakistani military but they were

outnumbered and outgunned the Pakistani

attacks were brutal by March 28th some

estimates say up to 15 000 bengalis had

been killed and another 15 000 were dead

by early April without a centralized

leadership the early Bengali resistance

was amateurish and uncoordinated by the

middle of May Pakistan controlled most

major towns and cities while the

bengalis and their government in Exile

had been driven mostly into the

countryside

from May 1971 the war took on a more

gorilla character as Bengali forces

tried to reorganize and retake the

cities between May and September up to

100

000 young men were trained as Guerrilla

Fighters the Indian government also

began extending limited support to

counter their old rival of Pakistan the

pakistanis tightened their hold on the

urban areas continuing Mass arrests and

executions for alleged Rebels and

launching strategic assaults on villages

to Route Bengali forces increasingly the

pakistanis feared that any fighting age

men were potential Rebels when they

entered a village the young men were

rounded up and massacred this left men

with a choice wait and hope the

pakistanis would spare you or flee if

they were to be treated like Rebels many

young men decided to become them and

thousands joined the gorillas as their

only hope of survival some in Bangladesh

joined the Pakistan II many of these

collaborators belong to specific ethnic

groups such as the baharis which led to

Sharp ethnic divisions that would last

well beyond the war

typical Massacre occurred at the Village

of baronga on May 26 1971 Pakistani and

Allied Forces entered the village in the

silhat district where they gathered all

of The Village's men outside the school

they then separated out the Hindus from

the Muslims after extorting valuables

from both groups many of the Muslims

were released but the Hindus were tied

up and executed in the schoolyard at

least 78 men were gunned down one

Survivor vividly recalled the massacre

bullets from machine guns were fired at

the helpless people with their hands

tied at the back there was blood

everywhere but it did not end there to

ensure everyone was dead they set them

on fire

the mass extermination of young men is a

common feature of genocides by removing

the fighting population they were

simultaneously wiping out the

reproducing population and ensuring that

there was no one to protect the older

men women and children who were left

behind the scale of male-focused

genocide has led some Scholars to

characterize this as a gender site

however that did not mean women didn't

Suffer Without men to protect their

communities women were exposed to

violence from the rampaging soldiers

rape was a systemic and organized part

of Pakistan's military operations women

and girls were assaulted on mass

sometimes in front of their families in

every village that the military entered

part of it was simple inhuman cruelty

but it was also psychological the

attacks were psychologically damaging to

the women and to any Witnesses

especially since Bengali culture Christ

honor in female Chastity although we can

never know for certain it's thought that

at least two hundred thousand women and

girls from pensioners to little children

were subjected to Sexual Violence by

Pakistani forces in 1971.

the ongoing violence shocked the world

and created a staggering Refugee crisis

most of them flowed into India India was

quick to throw its support behind

Bangladesh an independent Bangladesh

would be a significant blow to the

strength of India's old enemy and would

end Indian fears of fighting a two-front

war against Pakistan on a more practical

level 10 million Bengali refugees most

of them Hindu poured into India in 1971.

it was an unsustainable amount and India

was desperate to resolve the crisis

before the problem got worse India began

courting international support for

Bangladesh in campaigning for countries

to withdraw support from Pakistan the

Soviet Union was quick to join India in

condemning the violence and signaling

its support for Bangladesh by contrast

China and the Islamic world were firmly

behind Pakistan the Western world was

somewhat divided officially the US and

Pakistan were tentative allies and the

Nixon Administration was working hard to

cultivate good relations with China

however popular opinion in the West Was

firmly pro-bangladesh especially his

videos and news reports of Pakistani

violence filled Western newspapers and

TV broadcasts the Indian government was

caught in a geopolitical bind they were

concerned that a military intervention

would antagonize China or the US and

potentially cause a Cascade that could

lead to a major International war prime

minister Indira Gandhi conducted a

whirlwind diplomatic tour to Moscow

Washington DC London and elsewhere to

erode support for Pakistan and clear the

way for Indian involvement she managed

to persuade the Nixon Administration to

end military aid for Pakistan in October

1971. at the same time that Pakistani

delegation to Beijing was politely but

firmly told that China would not

intervene to help Pakistan if India

involved itself in Bangladesh

Pakistan interpreted India's actions as

a sign of aggression they launched a

preemptive strike on Indian air bases on

December 3rd but the attacks failed to

inflict any significant damage India

took this as an act of war and responded

with strategic strikes on Pakistan's air

and Naval bases the next day which the

stated Pakistan's military capabilities

within days Indian troops moved across

the border and linked up with the

Bangladeshi Freedom Fighters for a

combined campaign to kick the pakistanis

out of Bangladesh their Combined Assault

was a tremendous success in less than

two weeks most of Pakistan's Air Force

was out of commission the Indian Navy

had effectively cut off Naval access

between Pakistan and Bangladesh and

hundreds of towns and cities were

retaken by the combined Bangladeshi

Indian forces on December 8th the

Bangladeshi and Indian forces were on

the outskirts of Dhaka and by December

16th they had retaken the capital

Victory came at a cost when it was clear

they were going to lose the bitter

Pakistani forces took their anger out on

civilians a spike of massacres occurred

in the final days of the war as Pakistan

tried to this soon to be

independent country on the 12th 13th and

14th of December hundreds of

intellectuals and professionals from all

sorts of occupations were killed by

retreating forces it was one final

attempt to deprive the new nation of any

potential Leaders The Liberation forces

also found evidence of the Horus

Pakistan had inflicted on civilians as

they recaptured enemy positions it was

common to find captured women held in

captivity in Pakistani military camps

where they'd been abused for months by

the occupying forces or to find mass

Graves of those the retreating forces

hadn't had time to bury finally on

December 17 1971 with Pakistan's

militarian tatters and Bangladeshi

forces back in control of their cities

the two sides declared a ceasefire

Pakistani forces in Bangladesh lay down

their arms in the war and its genocide

were over

Bangladesh was the first nation state to

earn its independence by waging a

successful war of Liberation against a

post-colonial state Additionally the

intervention of the Indian military was

one of the only examples of a genocide

being ended thanks to external

intervention most academics accepted

what happened in Bangladesh was a

genocide the mass targeting of ethnic

leaders the extermination of the Bengali

male population and the specific

targeting of Hindu minorities within

Bangladesh all meet the conditions for

genocide the death toll from the war an

accompanying genocide has divided

historians a wide range between 300

000 and 500 000 is the usual estimate

but Bangladesh officially counts three

million dead in 1971. 40 million people

were displaced in millions more suffered

injuries or sexual abuse the long-term

effects of the genocide are still being

felt many rape victims were cast out of

their families out of a belief that

rapes sullied the honor of the family

leaving an epidemic of women abandoned

after 1971. the disproportionate death

of men also had severe social and

economic consequences as essential jobs

went undone and women were forced into

the workforce to make up the shortfall

the normalization of violence and social

trauma of the genocide also led to a

sharp rise in violent crime that

continues to this day

Additionally the collaboration by some

ethnic minorities with the Pakistani

forces led to reprisal violence in the

1970s as many as a hundred and fifty

thousand people were killed by

ethnically targeted mob violence in

post-war Bangladesh for belonging to

ethnicities who were all painted as

collaborators

official efforts to prosecute

collaborators led to tens of thousands

of detentions although far fewer trials

and even fewer convictions as you might

expect accountability for Pakistan was

non-existent despite the vast amount of

video documentary and eyewitness

evidence Pakistan still denies

wrongdoing it blames the Rogue action of

soldiers for the undeniable episodes of

violence while official Pakistani

estimates vastly downplay the actual

number of casualties not a single

Pakistani faced any punishment for the

murder rape or other abuse inflicted

upon millions of people

the rest of the world's sympathy faded

once the massacres left the headlines

today the Bangladesh genocide is just

one of numerous forgotten atrocities of

the 20th century

depending on the death tolls you believe

the fact that all of this occurred in

just nine months between March and

December 1971 makes this one of the most

intense genocides in the 20th century

but as we've seen many times on this

channel the scale and severity of crimes

do nothing to guarantee their

perpetrators will be punished or that

their victims will be remembered we hope

that this video at least raised your

awareness of what really happened during

those fateful nine months in Bangladesh
