It is well known that the 1971 army repression in Bangla Desh (former East Pakistan) resulted in an influx of 10 million refugees into India. Most world renowned relief and news agencies put the number of dead at 3 million. However the fact that is glossed over in these statistics is that THE ENTIRE HINDU POPULATION OF EAST PAKISTAN WAS THE PRIMARY TARGET OF PAKISTANI ARMY DURING THE 9 MONTHS OF REPRESSION IN 1971. Using the population statistics from Bangla Desh Government and US Government publications this article PROVES that 80 percent of the refugees from Bangla Desh were Hindus and that 80 percent of the 3 million killed were Hindus. THUS IT WAS A HINDU REFUGEE PROBLEM and IT WAS A HINDU GENOCIDE THAT TOOK PLACE IN EAST PAKISTAN IN 1971.

Real face of Hindus and reality of their Hindutva

Dear Friend/Brother/Sister,

Muslims of sub-continent (Bangladesh, India and Pakistan) are emotional people but the Muslims of Bengal are “notorious” for their emotionalism. Being aware of this weakness of Bengali Muslims the Brahmins of India have taken full advantage of it. I do not want to absolve “West Pakistanis” from all their mistakes. They did a good number of mistakes that really hurt their Bengali brothers but in this respect the Brahmin conspiracies may also not be ignored. I am not a supporter of a united Pakistan once again. But I am a firm believer that people of Bangladesh and Pakistan must forget their past mistakes and live like brothers. They should make a conscious effort to improve their relations in all spheres of life. Howsoever bad a Pakistani is, he is better than the biased Hindu Brahmins. This is my personal experience and experience of a number of my countrymen.

Do you want to know how deep and great hatred these Brahmins of India have against Muslims and general and the Bengali and Pakistani Muslims. The visit the following web site:

http://www.hinduunity.org/

This is just one example. Indian Hindu sites are full of such material against Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and the Muslims. Just see what they say about us, about Quran and about Mohammed (Peace be upon Him).

With profound regards,

Yours truly,


Imran Rehman,
Dhaka.

Thumbs down

Imran,
that is the most BS statement i have come across, that the Muslims of the subcontinent are "notoriously" emotional people. Now where did you come up with that inference? If someone remembers the wrongs of the past, they become "notoriously" emotional people. Loads of BS.
You have given a website by some fundamental Hindu, and i can give you numerous racist and other hate sites. This is the internet dude, every person has the right of say, no matter what. What about the posts of some people in this forum, they reek or biases and prejudices and hatred.
You are literally justifying the genocide. It wasnt only the Bangla Hindus who were killed, but Banglas, irrespective of religion.
That is one hate site, and does not represent all Hinduism, keep that in mind. Nor do the VHP represent all the Hindus. What do you guys grow up studying, propaganda and biases?

While I don't doubt that the Hindus were targeted during the Liberation War, 80% seems way to high a figure for me to take seriously.

India Distracting Attention!


couldn't help saying a few words here.sorry beforehand if my statements hurt some1.but then i'm saying what i understand as a conscious muslim.
a genocide can't be the excuse of another genocide.what happened in 1971-the whole world condemn that with us.but haven't we come across 30 years from that at our own independently?did we commit any such genocides of anything close to that level in our country against any other religion people?whatever has happened in very low scales sometimes, that to as a back lash of events in India, were always exagerated by some of the medias who i don't know for what reason support India nakedly all the time.RAW has got a huge influence in our country exploiting our own people.anyone denies that surely doesn't understand Int'l Affairs.
now what happened in Gujrat is a Genocide against the muslims without doubt.and if anyone says it was supported by the govt itself he won't be wrong.it's far worse than what happened during Babri mosque crisis.Allah,the Almighty,will definitely will do justice-this is the pray of all the muslims since we can't go and help them in India.do u feel their helplessness?nobody seems to care when muslims die.

since protests have risen from within themselves India is again playing his trump card Kashmir to divert the attention of the world which they have always done.

so I agree with Imran for his thinking except the notorious imotionof muslims.we should not level ourselves and make that an excuse for our weakness.

I'm having real difficulty stomaching the prejudice that these discussion forums are thriving on. I can't believe that educated modern people base their attitude to others on their prejudices. From where does it stem? None of you seem to be strongly religious; and even if you were, religion is supposed teach the virtues of tolerance and acceptance of others. If some of you can't extend your love and acceptance to your neighbours; I doubt very much how you'd be able to love and accept the God you have never seen. The only real explanation is that those of you who hold these prejudices (whether they be anti-muslim or anti-hindu) are either ignorant sheep who are easily brainwashed by propaganda, or have something to gain from the division of humanity in some form or another. Politicians have done this in the past: Jinnah used religion to encourage the bengal to support his two-nation theory; and we found out soon enough that what he really wanted was an urdu speaking, seperate country in which the West Pakistanis would rule. Religion was just his electoral tool.

So why are we letting these power hungry people brainwash the way we think? I am a Bangladeshi muslim: some of my best friends are Indian hindus. We live together and eat together, and often joke that if people in the Congress and the Muslim League had been more like us, then we'd still be united and together living as sisters regardless of religion and creed.

I know there are more people in the real world out there who are more like me than like some of you, and I thank God for it.
