Author and South Asian expert Priyajit Debsarkar terms the Pakistani Army genocidal for its actions in Bangladesh in 1971. Operation Searchlight that was launched by the former occupying Army saw 3,000,000 people mercilessly butchered and about 200,000-400,00 women and children raped and killed. It was the Mukhti Bahini, formed to defend the honour of the Bengali people, assisted by India who gained freedom from the barbaric Army.
In his book, “The Atlantique Incident”, Debsarkar has said that Pakistan has to set its house in order, though wonders which one? The one in Pindi (housing the GHQ) or the one in Islamabad.
