MERCILESS MAYHEM The Bangladesh Genocide through Pakistani Eyes

In 1971 there was a place called ‘East Pakistan.’ By the time the year ended, about three million people were massacred in a genocide by the West Pakistan Army that was sent there to thwart the taking of office by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rahman as the country’s elected prime minister.

This is the story of the blood-soaked birth of Bangladesh as seen through the memories of a few Pakistani journalists and civil servants who stood with their Bangladeshi brothers and sisters even as their own Army carried out mass murder during the dark days of the East Pakistan Genocide.
