Lest you forget. Pakistan Genocided for reals there Alibaba. Dan won't like that. Pay attention to the part where Pakistani imams considered Bengali Hindu women to be War Booty. Can you tell the class what Pakistani Imams are Aliabedi?
"The West Pakistani government, which had implemented discriminatory legislation in East Pakistan, asserted that Hindus were behind the
Mukti Bahini (Bengali resistance fighters) revolt and that resolving the local "Hindu problem" would end the conflict—Khan's government and the Pakistani elite thus regarded the crackdown as a strategic policy. Genocidal rhetoric accompanied the campaign: Pakistani men believed that the sacrifice of Hindus was needed to fix the national malaise. In the countryside, Pakistan Army moved through villages and specifically asked for places where Hindus lived before burning them down. Hindus were identified by checking circumcision or by demanding the recitation of Muslim prayers. This also resulted in the migration of around eight million East Pakistani refugees into India, 80-90% of whom were Hindus.
Pakistan's imams declared Bengali Hindu women to be "war booty”; and Pakistani
fatwa were issued legitimizing Bengali Hindu women as spoils of war. Women who were targeted often died in Pakistani captivity or committed suicide, while others fled to India.
Pakistan's activities during the Bangladesh Liberation War served as a catalyst for India's military intervention in support of the Mukti Bahini, triggering the
Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The conflict and the genocide formally ended on 16 December 1971, when the joint forces of Bangladesh and India received the
Pakistani Instrument of Surrender. As a result of the conflict, approximately 10 million
East Bengali refugees fled to Indian territory while up to 30 million people were internally displaced out of the 70 million total population of East Pakistan. There was also ethnic violence between the Bengali majority and the Bihari minority during the conflict; between 1,000 and 150,000 Biharis were killed in reprisal attacks by Bengali militias and mobs, as Bihari collaboration with the West Pakistani campaign had led to further
anti-Bihari sentiment. Since Pakistan's defeat and Bangladesh's independence, the title "
Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh" has commonly been used to refer to the Bihari community, which was denied the right to hold Bangladeshi citizenship until 2008.
Allegations of a genocide in Bangladesh were rejected by most
UN member states at the time and rarely appear in textbooks and academic sources on
genocide studies."
