Thanks to Indian armed forces huge contribution during our freedom struggle 1971. No we have not forgotten. Yes my beloved Dhaka, the city of my birth is named after the Temple of Maa Dhakeshwari (Durga). Coming from a Muslim family; I am proud of this history and the beautiful name of the temple and the city. There is no point of following any religion if it cannot teach you humanity, tolerance, peace and harmony. Apart from few incidents here and there; we the Bangalis from Bangladesh irrespective of our religious background love to live together in peace. I guess for us the Bangalis at times, we love our food and culture are more important than our religions. Amar shonar bangla ami tomai onek beshi valobashi. Joy Bangla Jai hind.

It's a shame in Bangladesh we don't learn about these great Indian heroes of 1971. A recent effort was made by colonel Sajid Zahir of Bangladesh to award the families of the martyred Indian soldiers in Bangladesh. Although, recent attitude of some Indian politicians have sullied diplomatic ties I would like to thank all soldiers, volunteers who worked in the refugee camps in West Bengal and those who supported them financially. It was an act of kindness and chivalry that will never be forgotten. I hope the current hostile attitudes of people from both sides of the border ends soon.

If by an Islamic fundamentalist you mean any person who goes about killing innocents in the name of religion, then you need to prove to me that is an Islamic fundamental which you can't unless you have spent years studying Shariah law, fiqh and jurisprudence . These terms radical Islam, jihadist are all propaganda tools to create division and invoke hatred by painting it as nationalism. It is something that I advise discretion upon. If you think Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a practicing Muslim and Pakistan was an Islamic nation then you are ill informed. Jinnah's favourite breakfast was that of an English breakfast with lots of pork sausages. All other dictators after weren't even close to practicing Muslims as there are numerous reports of them fornicating and drinking alcohol. There are also reported testimonies from Pakistani soldiers who witnessed their top brass drinking and celebrating the loss of Bangladesh as they were "bhukkhe nangey bangali" who were a burden to West Pakistan. If this is what you call Islamic fundamentalism then you are severaly ill-informed and mislead. Read up on Umar Ibn Khattab's rule and you will find that Muslims allowed Christians and Jews to have their own courts and were not subject to the Shariah. That is a what Islam supports. Not secularism, which means no one cannot have values but pluralism which means everyone is allowed to have their own morals and can live together as long as they abide by a contract to have peace. Nothing is more important to a Muslim to honour their word/promise. Especially if it is with another non Muslim. This is Islamic fundamentalism and not the new arbitrary proganda definition created by George Bush after 9/11.
@@makkialqaosain8872 let me tell you my friend, if religion had priority over bengali culture, Bangladesh would never be born. When Pakistani generals said "mai Banglio ki nasal badal dunga" he was talking about changing your culture and make it more Islamic. When they imposed urdu on your predecessors they were against your bengali language which they considered unislamic, you were always muslim, but your predecessors fought for your bangali identity and gave birth to your nation, that's why Bangladesh is probably the only Islamic nation that has a non religious national anthem written by a non Muslim. All those values are being forgotten sadly, Pakistan isi funded brainwashing groups have got a grip of your country, spreading deep fundamentalist ideals that goes against Bangladesh's whole foundation. Edit: I think the uniqueness of Bangladesh is it's culture, don't lose it, some country wants you to lose your culture and join them voluntarily, don't let it happen. Consider me a well wisher from the other Bengal.
We Bangladeshies always have a very very soft corner not only because India was with us in independence but also because we share same culture and always will be. Books written before 1971 by the writers from Bangladesh always used to have characters from Tamil Nadu or Bihar or Delhi. Whereas Kolkata and Punjab was like we're one in a bunch of trees. Meghalaya and assams are still like our home. Politics differed us but we're and will always be united. Happy Victory day. ✌
@@Risingnewman simply search books by Syed Mustaba Ali, he is a famous novel and travel writer. There is a story where a man, Tamil spoken, works with him in Egypt. The man is a tea exporter from egypt to India. It's a fantastic story of Bonding Indians in one story. Read his other story too. You'll find an united India. And do not forget, before Indian independence, Bengal hold the capital of India, Chief Minister was also from East Bengal (present Bangladesh) and people all over India and world choosed to travel Bengal first to enter India. And remember Rabindranath Tagor....
I was young boy of 13 years of age sitting inf ront of the President VV Giri in 1972 ( republic Day Parade) when the four PVC were given postumosusly to three Viz . Lance Naik Albert Ekka , Sq. Leader Sekon, Lt Arun Khetrapal and of course Major Hoshiar Singh who smartly walked to get the honour. I was just a feet away sitting of the carpet and watching Genl. Sam Mankeshaw, Air Marshal PC Lal and Admiral SM Nanda speaking among themselves after winning the war. The memory of scenes is still etched in me. My father was in Defence Ministry and was incharge of V1 and V2 enclosures then in the Republic day parade.I am 62 now. But the occasion was inspirational to me and I did write NDA exam but could not qualify .
My uncle was shot at and had two bullet marks across his chest and back from 65 (across because he was 90 degrees from the shooter, and two because a bullet each tore through his front and back). His anecdotes used to be a lot like this. A general had written a long time ago of the ethos of the Indian army, where in the absence of the regiment pandit, the regiment maulvi calmly took over and conducted the Krishna sermon. Also, another anecdote, Muslim NCO's from the Madras regiment who were held captive in Pakistan had a lot of trouble from the Pakistanis who never believed that a Muslim cannot speak Urdu/Arabic, and the Sikh officer would be the go-between and do Tamil/Punjabi translation.

Flt Lt MS Grewal was shot down by my Unit at Shorkot. One of our officers ran to save the pilot from angry villagers who intend to beat him to death. He was rescued, brought to our Unit. He was given first aid and food & tea were served to him. Later PAF took him into their custody. We still have the flying helmet and the wristwatch of this officer and displayed in the Quarter Guard of my Unit. I wish him all the best.
A movie has been made about three years ago on the escape of the three Air Force officers who escaped from the prisoners-of-war camp in Pakistan. Dilip Parulkar now lives in Pune
Just to add to this, there is a moving story from Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw who led the Indian forces in the 1971 war - a man who was known for his treatment of prisoners of war. He was called to Lahore by the Governor after the end of the war and as he was shaking the hands of the staff, one of the men took his turban off and laid it at the Field Marshall's feet. He thanked him for his generosity towards his 4 sons who were POWs in an Indian camp. In their letters to their father back in Lahore, they wrote about all prisoners having received Qurans, prisoners sleeping in barracks while Indian troops slept outside and so on.
I am a regular listener of Shekhar Gupta. What a fine journalist this man is! What an amazing episode - I would say one of the best! I listen to him very carefully when he discusses Pakistan and let me tell you that his analysis on Pakistan and what went wrong with it are spot on! From Karachi, Pakistan.
A quick reaction is..when you have a peaceful neighbour, you will grow without any fear of border aggression and terrorism. Bangladesh and Bangladeshi has done immense work to reach and grow where they are today.
Marvellous episode. I am going to watch it again and again and again. Shekhar sir..... I salute to your magnanimity, broad-mindedness, humanity.....and and so many qualities I cannot even enumerate. We need people like you. God bless you and let you guide us for many many more years. The world needs people like you badly. Thanks again for such a great wonderful episode.
@Munna Bhai M.B.B.S So a genocide becomes justified?? The Mukti Vahini committed mass genocide and gang rape against the Adivasis also in Chittagong hill tracts. And why would the Biharies support a bunch of militias who stood for Bengalee nationalism which excluded them??
@@edokan the way you portray biharies as innocent, i really wonder do you know them well enough or not! When operation searchlight began in march 25th, many of the biharies took up arms along side Pak soldiers. First of the atrocities carried out at Dhaka University (Jagannath Hall), Rajarbagh Police lines. There's some colonies around the Rajarbagh Police lines where I've been living for 20 years. It's a well known history among us (mainly to those who are the residents here in the colony) that then biharies residing in these colonies took up arms & attacked Rajarbagh Police lines with weapons supplied by the Pak forces. Yes, I agree Biharies faced a serious retribution. But you have to know India took 90,000 PAK POWS. If India left them here, maybe the atrocities would've been commited towards 90,000 soldiers not to the so called innocent biharies. I must also add here that we even punished some of our own bengali people for supporting Pakistan back then. It's a shame for pakistanis that their Bihari brothers suffered for their atrocities yet in 50 years they never even tried to take them back. So much for supporting Pakistan i guess 😅 and you ask why would the Biharies support "a bunch of militias" who stood for Bengalee nationalism? Firstly, we're the native people here with lineage going back thousands of years and a small group of people who came 20 years ago didn't matter much. and lastly, "a bunch of militias" gave birth to an independent nation defeating a state's military. I hope Pak army never forget the monsoon in Bangladesh.
SG's words at the end reminded me of a docu-series I watched recently about the Vietnam War. A North Vietnamese general was interviewed and he started by saying "Soldiers never talk about who won and who lost in wars, only the ones who never fought talk about winning and losing. In war no one wins, there's only destruction all around". He's a tough guy but you could just see the pain in his face when he said those words, as if the entire war is flashing in front of his eyes while talking.
And please think on your population (like ours). We have reached 2kids level.. soon 1.7 we will go.. think for your country. Spread to your people for 1 kid or 2 kid MAX! Population kills resource
@@scienceisreligion5618 Bangladesh has reached tfr level of 2.0 way back in 2019, before India. You might want to update your knowledge regarding Bangladesh dear.
Recently i bought a Peter England T Shirt, on it's label it is mentioned that , it was made in Bangladesh. That shows the kind of progress Bangladesh has made in regards to textile industry.
i think Bangladesh majorly benefitted from security. Utilizing majority of the defense budget towards infrastructure and having the most fertile land in the world do bring an advantage. It has started out well but the most important thing going ahead which is staying on top
Spot on observation. They are not facing external threat like India does as it is surrounded by India. The real test of Bangladesh is handling Slowly rising internal extremism. Had Bangladesh stayed with Pak, story would be very different.
@@Achintyanath they are not global threat. On the other hand, see how Pakistan has destroyed its economy and caused huge problems in the neighbourhood, US, UK, and other countries.
What a beautiful narration of brave pvc awardee Arun Khetpal sir story. Thank you sg, no other news channel tell us such stories. This is why I never miss CTC.
sir, I dont mean to say it in any misunderstanding way, but it is a disrespect to call Pakistan as a sibling of Bangladesh. We (BD) want nothing to do with Pakistan. Infact, Pakistan should be called as the new "BOTTOMLESS BASKETCASE"
@@ishtiaquealamin6147 we don't want want to recognize those people as our brothers who killed the innocent people and raped the mothers and sisters of our nation. They don't deserve to be called as our siblings.
You unfortunately lost the very moral of the episode and what Shekhar ji was trying his best to put into OUR silly brains. Bangladesh is today what it is only because it decided to move forward instead of sulking and grieving about the past. If this is stated all again, Bangladesh will be The Basketcase. Brother don't do it.
Sheikh Haseena has done magnificently. She has proved to be a level headed PM leading her country towards growth and prosperity. Most of the the jobs in textile industry has shifted to Bangladesh while Indians were fighting amongst themselves.
bangaldesh has zero diversity , the only diversity itt had was of religion and now even that is fading away as all bangaldeshi hindus r made to flee bangladesh...Such an homogenoous country peobably the most homogenous major country in the region why would it have any problem?

Shekar Ji, Great nostalgic remembrances. All I remember as a young kid from that period was downing of Sabre jets by IAF pilots, listening to short wave radio BBC news and a camp outskirts of my city where Bangladeshi refugees lived in Tents (like Palestinians) and the 5 paisa Refugee Stamp we had to affix to each envelope. Amazing 70+ years later East Pakistan is now Shonar Bongla. Interestingly, Bangladesh allocates just 1.1% of its National GDP towards Defense Spending leaving enough budget for other human development. Thats a blessing in disguise for Bangladesh which is now ahead of Pakistan economically.
We take pride in saying that India played a major role in liberating BANGLADESH, Do history books in Bangladesh give credit to India for our role in their freedom struggle. Many of the young Bangladeshis claim that they fought Pakistan and secured freedom.
They do, at least, most of them If you have any opportunity, try to read the text books on Global Studies or History of any class ( for example Bangladesh and Global Studies for class nine & ten) . Actually, whatever you read, your beliefs, mostly come from your family. So, if you have a family supporting Pakistan in 1971, you know the rest ...
@Lamar Davis What's about them? Why should we be concerned about them,just because they are illegimated, discarded and abondoned by their Pakistani fathers? If they are and were treated so bad, why would they live here? In the war , they accompanied their Pakistani fathers in all kinds of war crimes . How concerned you are!!! If you are really concerned, why don't you file cases for them?
@Lamar Davis Oops, I am sorry that I didn't realize that you're the one self-glorified illegitimate child of that Pakistan. Extremely sorry for hurting your feelings. Tsh, tsh, tsh!!!

Bangladesh is a small county, 1/10 th population of india. It has a homogenous population (95℅ are muslim so easy to unite so no obstacles for development like China...90% are han Chinese) so we should not compare ourselves with Bangladesh.
Wow. What an episode. I am so amazed with the ethics (at least then) followed by thr warring parties. Can’t thank SG for educating us.you are a fantastic storyteller. This has been so far the most engrossing episode
One of the best ctc episodes of all time. These legendary stories are what makes you stand apart from all the other journos out there..!! I wish these kind of stories reached to the masses and our tv media channels learn something from you.
Lets not forget how Pakistan sent mutilated bodies of our brave soldiers and how they did not recognise their own soliders (disguised as militants) during Kargil war. Professional soliders don't do this as well as don't overthrow the elected government in their own country.
heart touching❤...people should really put down their ego and appreciate the good things that were done in the past...rather than finding reasons for their current failure in the past...that does not cut it.
An excellent account by Shekhar Gupta, with whom I had the good fortune of working as a sports journalist in 1980s and as a cricket administrator from 1993 to 2012-13. Kudos Shekhar, enlighten us more with such historical facts with your characteristic authenticity and simplicity.

My father served in the IAF as a warrant officer in 62, 65 and 71 wars, and is living a quiet retired life now. We were fortunate to be unaffected by these conflicts, and for the opportunities my father created for us, so we could be educated and successful, but many families were not that lucky. You hit the nail on the head about the damage a war can cause, it is not a Bollywood movie or like a commando comic.
Tq sekhar sir After watching this vedio I am also get emotion After reading Shazia Hassan article. in it the conversation between Lesley and Wing Commander Soni is realy heart touching. 1)Hating of my enemy won't help me but loving my country will. 2)when flying he only thought about the altitude of his plane and how much he love his county. These sentence are touch every body who read this. Finally I say at the time of war they think only about their nation after war they are common people. they have emotional, bondings , pains these are carry in the minds until their last breath . Tq sir

But Hindi speaking States hv to do it first and it should not be other way around. I think North South divide will eliminated if people will learn each other's language.
How is it possible that you've done a walk the talk with almost everybody in the country? I am amazed the wealth of knowledge and stories you share with us.. hats off!
Shekhar Sir, this has to be the best “Cut The Clutter” episode I have watched. It is journalism at its finest and your storied experience shone through all the time as you effortlessly took us all back 50 years in time. The human factor in war is always an afterthought for the general populace who were not directly involved in the war. Victory, Defeat or Stalemate are memories that stand etched in our minds when we recall wars but soldiers and their families would recall those moments differently. They would view them in another dimension, through a “personal lens” as they had a front row seat, often with lethal consequences. In today’s episode, your brilliant journalistic storytelling put us, the viewers, in the passenger seat, right beside the soldiers as they went about their business. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Mr. Gupta for such an interesting and detailed episode, my father is also an ex- Indian airforce officer , i am sure he would love to hear this story. But he is not so fluent in English, i will try to explain him, but would it be possible for you to record episodes in hindi please, i would love to have my parents hear such amazing coverage.
I've often wondered why military stories of Honor, courage in the face of adversity and raw grit don't see a place in our academic curriculum. Why aren't youth taught about it... This is all about building National character and the spirit that constitutes our identity as a people... Perhaps remnants of the politicians insecurity with the military getting too big for their boots like in our Western neighborhood..
Really after a long time I watched a full cut the clutter and loved it. Shekhar sir thank you for this CTC this will be one of my favorite cut the clutter episode. Keep Going on Sir...
One of the best episodes yet, Mr Gupta.You touched my heart with your words. I hope the war hawks in both the countries pay heed to the wisdom of your words.
In Bangladesh, money is not wasted on defence and on nuclear weapons - unlike Pakistan's, where hate for India and Hindus, in particular, is consuming it. And then it is ethnically more homogenous, one language, one script. But the percentage of non-believers is steadily decreasing even in Bangladesh - from 30% to 7% now. It will be 0% pretty soon I guess. Do we want that in India?
The fact that Hindu population has reduced significantly in Bangladesh and attacks on Hindus are a norm, proves that Bangladesh is Bengali speaking Pakistan.
totally not true boss! no one hates india... just ask the indians that cross the border or your bollywood folks! This is the false propaganda that you are fed! we could not want peace more! Lets also not forget the kind of regime that is in power in India right now and how they benefit from the hate for their political gains... so dont put all the blame on one side... be courageous and ask some questions!
Greatest SALUTATIONS to Indian armed forces. And respectful salutations to Shekhar Gupta for enlightening alll of us civilians on professionalism in wars. One of the best news video I have seen. 👌👍👏
Having a homogenous population is an advantage for Bangladesh. Most successfull countries have most a single language and ethnicity. Look at Europe which is a prime example of this, such as France, Germany, Britain etc. Yes, there still have some internal differences but nothin like in the Indian subcontinent.

One of the best episode, giving a realistic preview of the trauma which is inflicted to the families of martyrs. No doubt, professional soldiers fight for their country, they don't have personal grudges but instead fight for defending their own country and people . . 71 war even though was the lost cause when East wing was separated by west by 1500 miles, yet military tried whatever it could.
Hello Sir. Fahmid is from Bangladesh. Thanks for your well-researched video and you've said good things about my country. I would like to take the opportunity to Thank India, in order to help us(several ways such as Train Mukti Bahini, Give our Migrant People shelter during the war, give us international political support during war and also actively help us after 3rd of December 1971) during our liberation war during 1971. Having said that, I came to notice that you've said the Liberation War only lasted for 13 days. To be honest as a Bangladeshi I think that's an insult to Bangladesh because Bangladesh declare war against Pakistan on the 26th Of March 1971 and get our victory on 16th December 1971. We Bangladeshi's and Mukti Joddha's fought for 9 long months. Of course, India join us on the 3rd of December. The war LASTED FOR 9 MONTHS, not 13 days!!!! In these 9 months, we lost approximately 3 million martyrs. Thanks. Please correct that information if possible. Thanks.

When they imposed urdu on your predecessors they were against your bengali language which they considered unislamic, you were always muslim, but your predecessors fought for your bangali identity and gave birth to your nation, that's why Bangladesh is probably the only Islamic nation that has a non religious national anthem written by a non Muslim. All those values are being forgotten sadly, Pakistan isi funded brainwashing groups have got a grip of your country, spreading deep fundamentalist ideals that goes against Bangladesh's whole foundation.
Edit: I think the uniqueness of Bangladesh is it's culture, don't lose it, some country wants you to lose your culture and join them voluntarily, don't let it happen. Consider me a well wisher from the other Bengal.
We Bangladeshies always have a very very soft corner not only because India was with us in independence but also because we share same culture and always will be. Books written before 1971 by the writers from Bangladesh always used to have characters from Tamil Nadu or Bihar or Delhi. Whereas Kolkata and Punjab was like we're one in a bunch of trees. Meghalaya and assams are still like our home. Politics differed us but we're and will always be united. Happy Victory day. ✌
Bhai We India Only Brought Independence for Bangladesh and its not *with us* in war🤗
Bhai i am from Tamilnadu😉 if you could share some name of the books where stories from South Indians are there it would be nice. Have a great day
@@Risingnewman simply search books by Syed Mustaba Ali, he is a famous novel and travel writer. There is a story where a man, Tamil spoken, works with him in Egypt. The man is a tea exporter from egypt to India. It's a fantastic story of Bonding Indians in one story. Read his other story too. You'll find an united India. And do not forget, before Indian independence, Bengal hold the capital of India, Chief Minister was also from East Bengal (present Bangladesh) and people all over India and world choosed to travel Bengal first to enter India. And remember Rabindranath Tagor....

I was young boy of 13 years of age sitting inf ront of the President VV Giri in 1972 ( republic Day Parade) when the four PVC were given postumosusly to three Viz . Lance Naik Albert Ekka , Sq. Leader Sekon, Lt Arun Khetrapal and of course Major Hoshiar Singh who smartly walked to get the honour. I was just a feet away sitting of the carpet and watching Genl. Sam Mankeshaw, Air Marshal PC Lal and Admiral SM Nanda speaking among themselves after winning the war. The memory of scenes is still etched in me. My father was in Defence Ministry and was incharge of V1 and V2 enclosures then in the Republic day parade.I am 62 now. But the occasion was inspirational to me and I did write NDA exam but could not qualify .
My uncle was shot at and had two bullet marks across his chest and back from 65 (across because he was 90 degrees from the shooter, and two because a bullet each tore through his front and back). His anecdotes used to be a lot like this. A general had written a long time ago of the ethos of the Indian army, where in the absence of the regiment pandit, the regiment maulvi calmly took over and conducted the Krishna sermon. Also, another anecdote, Muslim NCO's from the Madras regiment who were held captive in Pakistan had a lot of trouble from the Pakistanis who never believed that a Muslim cannot speak Urdu/Arabic, and the Sikh officer would be the go-between and do Tamil/Punjabi translation.

Just to add to this, there is a moving story from Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw who led the Indian forces in the 1971 war - a man who was known for his treatment of prisoners of war. He was called to Lahore by the Governor after the end of the war and as he was shaking the hands of the staff, one of the men took his turban off and laid it at the Field Marshall's feet. He thanked him for his generosity towards his 4 sons who were POWs in an Indian camp. In their letters to their father back in Lahore, they wrote about all prisoners having received Qurans, prisoners sleeping in barracks while Indian troops slept outside and so on.

@P Pierre I dont agree with your generalisation and assumption. It is Indian ethos which is widely accepted.
@P Pierre He was actually being targeted by many politicians for this. He said so himself in an interview
Let our so called Nationalist s including our vishwaguru learn some lessons. Not words, it's good deeds that make a person a guru.

Unarguably this will be one of the best CTC episodes… definitely featuring top 5 all time CTC episodes 👍
I am a regular listener of Shekhar Gupta. What a fine journalist this man is! What an amazing episode - I would say one of the best! I listen to him very carefully when he discusses Pakistan and let me tell you that his analysis on Pakistan and what went wrong with it are spot on!
From Karachi, Pakistan.
Thanks!
Hi Kalyan. A big thank you for the SuperThanks!
This was not at all what I expected today, yet Shekhar Guptaji delivers one of his best CTC episodes.
A quick reaction is..when you have a peaceful neighbour, you will grow without any fear of border aggression and terrorism. Bangladesh and Bangladeshi has done immense work to reach and grow where they are today.
Marvellous episode. I am going to watch it again and again and again. Shekhar sir..... I salute to your magnanimity, broad-mindedness, humanity.....and and so many qualities I cannot even enumerate. We need people like you. God bless you and let you guide us for many many more years. The world needs people like you badly. Thanks again for such a great wonderful episode.
I can't imagine the pain Bengali people have suffered Just because of there language, colour and culture.
Forgive But Never forget. Shame on 🇵🇰
and don't forget the Bihari and the Adivasi genocides also.
West Bengal is also full of Bengali people in case you did not know.
@Munna Bhai M.B.B.S So a genocide becomes justified?? The Mukti Vahini committed mass genocide and gang rape against the Adivasis also in Chittagong hill tracts. And why would the Biharies support a bunch of militias who stood for Bengalee nationalism which excluded them??
Same is going on in India with Hindi imposition
@@edokan the way you portray biharies as innocent, i really wonder do you know them well enough or not! When operation searchlight began in march 25th, many of the biharies took up arms along side Pak soldiers. First of the atrocities carried out at Dhaka University (Jagannath Hall), Rajarbagh Police lines. There's some colonies around the Rajarbagh Police lines where I've been living for 20 years. It's a well known history among us (mainly to those who are the residents here in the colony) that then biharies residing in these colonies took up arms & attacked Rajarbagh Police lines with weapons supplied by the Pak forces. Yes, I agree Biharies faced a serious retribution. But you have to know India took 90,000 PAK POWS. If India left them here, maybe the atrocities would've been commited towards 90,000 soldiers not to the so called innocent biharies. I must also add here that we even punished some of our own bengali people for supporting Pakistan back then. It's a shame for pakistanis that their Bihari brothers suffered for their atrocities yet in 50 years they never even tried to take them back. So much for supporting Pakistan i guess 😅
and you ask why would the Biharies support "a bunch of militias" who stood for Bengalee nationalism?
Firstly, we're the native people here with lineage going back thousands of years and a small group of people who came 20 years ago didn't matter much.
and lastly, "a bunch of militias" gave birth to an independent nation defeating a state's military. I hope Pak army never forget the monsoon in Bangladesh.
SG's words at the end reminded me of a docu-series I watched recently about the Vietnam War. A North Vietnamese general was interviewed and he started by saying "Soldiers never talk about who won and who lost in wars, only the ones who never fought talk about winning and losing. In war no one wins, there's only destruction all around". He's a tough guy but you could just see the pain in his face when he said those words, as if the entire war is flashing in front of his eyes while talking.

You are the best and most brilliant journalist I have read and heard. By a long mile.
Shekar Ji, Great nostalgic remembrances. All I remember as a young kid from that period was
downing of Sabre jets by IAF pilots, listening to short wave radio BBC news and a camp outskirts of my city where Bangladeshi refugees lived in Tents (like Palestinians) and the 5 paisa Refugee Stamp we had to affix to each envelope. Amazing 70+ years later East Pakistan is now Shonar Bongla. Interestingly, Bangladesh allocates just 1.1% of its National GDP towards Defense Spending leaving enough budget for other human development. Thats a blessing in disguise for Bangladesh which is now ahead of Pakistan economically.
We take pride in saying that India played a major role in liberating BANGLADESH, Do history books in Bangladesh give credit to India for our role in their freedom struggle. Many of the young Bangladeshis claim that they fought Pakistan and secured freedom.
They don't.
They do, at least, most of them
If you have any opportunity, try to read the text books on Global Studies or History of any class ( for example Bangladesh and Global Studies for class nine & ten) .
Actually, whatever you read, your beliefs, mostly come from your family. So, if you have a family supporting Pakistan in 1971, you know the rest ...
@Lamar Davis What's about them? Why should we be concerned about them,just because they are illegimated, discarded and abondoned by their Pakistani fathers? If they are and were treated so bad, why would they live here? In the war , they accompanied their Pakistani fathers in all kinds of war crimes . How concerned you are!!! If you are really concerned, why don't you file cases for them?
@Lamar Davis Oops, I am sorry that I didn't realize that you're the one self-glorified illegitimate child of that Pakistan. Extremely sorry for hurting your feelings. Tsh, tsh, tsh!!!
Dear Shekhar Ji it's a beautiful episode. Lots of love and take care❤️ although the auto fucus of the camera made me feel a bit dizzy :)

9. Food production gone up 4 times. Ishrat husain: “population growth was contained at 2.5 times.
10. Turns kissinger’s argument on its head. Henry kissinger had criticised bangaldesh as “basket case”
11. Exports have grown 100 times. Life expectancy is 72. (MORE THAN INDIA)
12. Got ahead of west pakistan
13. Look at future
14. Arun khetrapal= youngest to win param virchakra
15. Major khwaja mohammed nasser= came to collect bodies of his own soldier. Khetrapal’s father met brigadier khwaja mohammed nasser
Bangladesh is a small county, 1/10 th population of india. It has a homogenous population (95℅ are muslim so easy to unite so no obstacles for development like China...90% are han Chinese) so we should not compare ourselves with Bangladesh.

Shekhar Sir, this has to be the best “Cut The Clutter” episode I have watched. It is journalism at its finest and your storied experience shone through all the time as you effortlessly took us all back 50 years in time. The human factor in war is always an afterthought for the general populace who were not directly involved in the war. Victory, Defeat or Stalemate are memories that stand etched in our minds when we recall wars but soldiers and their families would recall those moments differently. They would view them in another dimension, through a “personal lens” as they had a front row seat, often with lethal consequences. In today’s episode, your brilliant journalistic storytelling put us, the viewers, in the passenger seat, right beside the soldiers as they went about their business. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Mr. Gupta for such an interesting and detailed episode, my father is also an ex- Indian airforce officer , i am sure he would love to hear this story. But he is not so fluent in English, i will try to explain him, but would it be possible for you to record episodes in hindi please, i would love to have my parents hear such amazing coverage.

I've often wondered why military stories of Honor, courage in the face of adversity and raw grit don't see a place in our academic curriculum. Why aren't youth taught about it... This is all about building National character and the spirit that constitutes our identity as a people... Perhaps remnants of the politicians insecurity with the military getting too big for their boots like in our Western neighborhood..

In Bangladesh, money is not wasted on defence and on nuclear weapons - unlike Pakistan's, where hate for India and Hindus, in particular, is consuming it. And then it is ethnically more homogenous, one language, one script. But the percentage of non-believers is steadily decreasing even in Bangladesh - from 30% to 7% now. It will be 0% pretty soon I guess. Do we want that in India?
The fact that Hindu population has reduced significantly in Bangladesh and attacks on Hindus are a norm, proves that Bangladesh is Bengali speaking Pakistan.
Just surf RUclips. You will find anti-Hindu content and comments from Bangladeshi Muslims galore.
totally not true boss! no one hates india... just ask the indians that cross the border or your bollywood folks! This is the false propaganda that you are fed!
we could not want peace more! Lets also not forget the kind of regime that is in power in India right now and how they benefit from the hate for their political gains... so dont put all the blame on one side... be courageous and ask some questions!

Having a homogenous population is an advantage for Bangladesh. Most successfull countries have most a single language and ethnicity.

Having said that, I came to notice that you've said the Liberation War only lasted for 13 days. To be honest as a Bangladeshi I think that's an insult to Bangladesh because Bangladesh declare war against Pakistan on the 26th Of March 1971 and get our victory on 16th December 1971. We Bangladeshi's and Mukti Joddha's fought for 9 long months. Of course, India join us on the 3rd of December. The war LASTED FOR 9 MONTHS, not 13 days!!!! In these 9 months, we lost approximately 3 million martyrs. Thanks. Please correct that information if possible. Thanks.
mukti bahini, the bangali resistance force, backed by indian government, from east Pakistan, killed non-bangalis (primarily West Pakistanis and biharis) in the aftermath of the bangladesh liberation war
