What you are witnessing in Bangladesh is a repeat of the violence and rapes conducted by Muslims in 1971. The scale and intensity of violence against the Bengalis (70-80 Hindus) was unprecedented. Perhaps for the first time in history, daily rape quotas were fixed. (Please don't read this thread if you have heart, BP or depression issues.)
1. On March 10, 1971, a group of senior military officers assembled for a meeting at the Operations Room of the headquarters of the Pakistan Army's Eastern Command at Dhaka. Among them was the head of the Pakistan Army in East Pakistan (modern Bangladesh) Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi. His hatred of Bengalis was so intense that he said: 'Main is haramzadi qaum ki nasal badal doon ga. Yeh mujhe kiya samajhtey hain'. (I will change the lineage of this bastard nation. They don't know me.)

2. The Pakistani general meant that the relatively light skinned Punjabis and Pathans of the Pakistan Army would change the complexion of the darker Bengalis. This was a diabolic reprise of Nazi Germany’s experiments in eugenics. The difference was the Pakistan Army’s plan of action was the mass rape of Bengali women.

3. On the night of March 25, 1971, in an exercise codenamed “Operation Searchlight” the Pakistani Army began a brutal massacre that lasted nine long months. Pakistani soldiers not only killed three million Bengalis (over 70 percent of them Hindus) but also raped up to 600,000 Bengali women, including grandmothers and little girls. The Pakistani generals fixed rape quotas for their soldiers and porn movies were shown to stir up these Punjabi and Pathan troops.

4. According to US-based Bangladeshi journalist Anushay Hossain, the first time rape was consciously applied as a weapon of war was during the 1971 Bangladesh War of Independence. She writes: Each time I go home to Bangladesh, a relative, usually male, takes me aside and whispers stories to me about the "piles, and piles of bodies of rape victims" you would find under bridges in mass graves. "How many women were raped and killed in the hands of Pakistani soldiers," my uncle tells me as his voice whimpers. "You cannot imagine, Ma."

5. Bangladeshi scholar Bina D’Costa tracked down Australian doctor Geoffrey Davis who was brought to Dhaka to perform late-term abortions, and facilitated large scale international adoption of the war babies born to Bangladeshi women. Her conversation with Davis was published in a Bangladeshi publication include stories of women being tied to trees and gang raped, breasts hacked off, dumped in mass graves, and being held in Pakistani rape camps.

6. When asked if the usual figures of the number of women raped by the Pakistani Army, 200,000-400,000, are accurate, Davis states that they are underestimated: “Probably the numbers are very conservative compared with what they did. The descriptions of how they captured towns were very interesting. They’d keep the infantry back and put artillery ahead and they would shell the hospitals and schools. And that caused absolute chaos in the town. And then the infantry would go in and begin to segregate the women. Apart from little children, all those who were sexually mature would be segregated. And then the women would be put in the compound under guard and made available to the troops… Some of the stories they told were appalling. Being raped again and again and again. A lot of them died in those [rape] camps. There was an air of disbelief about the whole thing. Nobody could credit that it really happened! But the evidence clearly showed that it did happen.”

7. On August 2, 1971, Time magazine published details of the massacre: “The Hindus, who account for three-fourths of the refugees and a majority of the dead, have borne the brunt of the Moslem military's hatred. Even now, Moslem soldiers in East Pakistan will snatch away a man's lungi (sarong) to see if he is circumcised, obligatory for Moslems; if he is not, it usually means death. Others are simply rounded up and shot. Commented one high US official: "It is the most incredible, calculated thing since the days of the Nazis in Poland."

8. Genocide researcher Professor R.J. Rummel said: “These ‘willing executioners’ were fuelled by an abiding anti-Bengali racism, especially against the Hindu minority. Bengalis were often compared with monkeys and chicken …. And the soldiers were free to kill at will.”

9. The Women’s Media Center lists the pattern of rape by the Pakistanis. Thousands of Bengali women were abducted and held by force in barracks, where they were raped night after night for months. Captive women and young girls were raped by anywhere from two to 80 men a night. A 13-year-old survivor interviewed in an abortion clinic by a female photojournalist, was at first “gagged to keep from screaming during attacks.” But as months passed and “the captives’ spirit was broken, the soldiers devised a simple quid pro quo. They withheld the daily ration of food until the girls had submitted to the full quota.”

10. One survivor stated that when her fellow captives died due to continuous torture, she and the other women were forced to dig graves and bury their peers. Pornographic movies were shown to soldiers “in an obvious attempt to work the men up.”

11. Women of all ages were sexually assaulted, from young girls to 75-year-old grandmothers.
Young girls were “strapped to green banana trees and repeatedly gang-raped. A few weeks later, they were strapped to the same trees and hacked to death.” Women were often left in mass graves. Women’s bodies found in mass graves often had their breasts cut off.

12. The US-based Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued a statement in December 2021: “The atrocities committed by the Pakistan army and the local collaborators—such as Razakars, Al-Badrs and Al Shams—included a systematic policy of sexual violence against Bengalis, a majority of them Bengali Hindu women and girls, involving vicious gang rapes, life force atrocities, sexual slavery, sexual torture, and forced maternity.”

13. Unfortunately - although not surprising given the country was born out of hatred and racism - most Pakistanis to this day refuse to condemn these atrocities. As far as they are concerned, because the overwhelming majority of the people they killed, raped and maimed were Hindus, it is not at all a crime but religiously sanctioned jehad. Plus, they didn’t consider Bengali Muslims to be ‘real Momins’ so their deaths were just collateral damage. The Pakistani attitude is best summed up by the words of General Niazi who is reported to have said, “One cannot fight a war here in East Pakistan and go all the way to the western wing to have an ejaculation!” This was thought funny at the time.

14. Amidst the violence perpetrated by the Pakistan Army, the culpability of the Muslims of Bangladesh has been ignored. The truth is that the Jamaat e Islami and the Bihari Muslims are as guilty as the Pakistani Punjabis and Pathans. Many Bangladeshis actively supported the violence against Hindus. That is the reason why the Hindu population has shrunk from around 35% in 1947 to around 8% today. Very few Hindus migrated to India; most of them were converted by force or systematically murdered over the past 75 years.

15. It's futile to blame the Muslims. They will face karma. Pakistan and Bangladesh are both paying for the genocides they have committed. But the real party to blame are the Hindu leaders who accepted the Partition of India without a complete exchange of populations.
