People of Bangladesh had seen a lot of difficulties and atrocities. However, I think Bangladesh is in a few nation who got independence in a very short period of time. Now they are on the path of progress and development. Their government is very sincere about the economy and major challenges.
The war was won in a short period indeed. If we compare Afghan, Iraq, Vietnam war with our 9 month long war, we won victory in rocket speed. But the journey towards that war was 23 year long and very painful.

Bangladesh's independence did not come overnight, it was the struggles of Bangladeshis' life and death issues. No country in the world has ever been able to become independent without the help of a friendly country. Bangladesh is eternally grateful for India's political and military support in Bangladesh's independence war in 1971. (A member of Mukti-Bahini 1971).🔴

I live in a state called Odisha, which does not have a border with Bangladesh but is very close to it. My grandfather was administrator of a refugee camp, which was funded 40% by govt and 60% on donations. They always had refugees coming from Bangladesh, since 1950 (then East Pakistan). The refugees were mostly Hindus, Christians and Shia Muslims, escaping mobs and riots. But in the late 1968s, the numbers started rising, this time even Sunnis started coming with the others. In 1971, the number peaked. Odisha is a coastal state, so most of the refugees came by boat. Everyday, fishermen would pull boats filled with starving people, that they used to find in the seas. My grandfather was a doctor, so he used to treat the refugees who needed help. In 1971, refugees used to arrive with a lot of injuries. Almost all of them were tortured, men women and children everyone. Some of the stories were harrowing. There's the story of two sisters, one 16 years old and the other 14 years old which sends shudders down my spine even now when I think about it. My father was just a boy back then and he used to help my grandfather. The year 1970 left a permanent mark on him. Today, most of them have settled in India. They have taken citizenship. Some of them have gone back to Bangladesh. My father was recently invited to the wedding of the grandson of one of the refugees. I accompanied him to a city called Kuakata in Bangladesh. It felt good to see those people smiling, even though I had never seen them before. Just thought you might be interested in a small story. Cheers🤍
@@orion7326 soul breaking pain. Don't know how to heal? The trauma of 'operation Searchlight ' committed by Pakistan Army is now grounded in our collective unconscious .

@@arifhossainrubel4791 Bangladesh is already doing quite well on it's own, which is a great thing in itself. I have been there only once, but the things I saw impressed me quite a lot. Now you guys have got a metro as well. But I have to say, the drivers are scary😅, very similar to the Tamil drivers in India. I travelled a few times by bus and each time I had to keep reminding myself that the driver is an expert, nothing is going to happen to me and i will be okay😅. The roads were quite nice though. And the people were lovely. I only speak a little bit of Bangla but they were very nice. They also were quite funny, which was great because I like people who can laugh and so, I had a wonderful time. I must admit, the way you guys cook fish is incredible. Very tasty. I have borrowed some recipes and tried to recreate them, with limited success.🤣 The way I see it, Bangladesh's prosperity is its best revenge. Today, Pakistan is imploding but Bangladesh is doing quite well. Pakistan is going in reverse, while Bangladesh is cruising on the sixth gear. No matter what, I will always have a soft spot for Bangladesh. And I think most Indians already have a very soft spot for Bangladesh. And it makes me feel good to see Bangladesh succeed and go ahead. 🇧🇩❤️
My kudos to Shehzad and to this amazing guest for such a wonderful and a high-bandwidth conversation. Seeing this from outside of PK - it is of immense relief to see that there are at least a few people who are not deluded about PK and the magnitude of the problems that it faces. So, Kudos!!! And my Best wishes for more such wonderful shows and discussions. 🙏
And this attitude is very rare to find in respective across the border from India. I equally like, admire and respect Indians and Pakistanis as we all are a family of humanity.
Wow! what an interview. Shezad, you almost fooled me into not watching by labelling Mr Nazar as an "investment banker". Actually, his view of the events leading to the creation of Bangladesh was the most fascinating. This interview "hits it out of the park", as they say. Congratulations (once again)!
One of the best podcasts to date on this channel! Highly intellectual, factual and unbiased account of our history. What I loved was the honesty of the discussion. On top of that Shezad himself was so looking forward to the show, he shaved for it! matlab puppo bacha bun kar podcast host kya hai! Kya baat hai!
The genocide was especially targeted towards Hindus. Some of the most horrific massacres include that in Ramana Kali temple in Dhaka on March 27, 1971. Pak Army simply entered the temple, killed all the devotees present including the priest and then destroyed the temple.
He also dismissed the democratically elected government of Badshah Khan. He started the tradition of soldiers dressed as trials being sent to Kashmir which was repeated in 1965 and 1999. Hindus were pushed out of Karachi (though Sind was not partitioned) by Liaqat Ali to make room for Mohajirs. What happened to 24% Hindus that were in Pakistan in 1947. You think that did not hurt educational infrastructure and trade competitiveness.
I am a Pakistani.... And the only issue with Pakistan before 1971 and right now is that we are hostage to our military establishment. I always felt ashamed that our military killed our bangali brothers but now I don't feel ashamed... Because it were not the common Pakistanis who did that. Love to all my bangali brothers from Lahore.
Good that if you are not ashamed of your Army's and political leaders role in Bengali genocide. Let me tell you something, more than lacs of momins were borned after the Pak Armys raping spree, ordered by Bhutto and Army generals. So, these Pakistani momins would be around 40-50 years old.
@@smilefaceofbengal The one leader who has actually challenged this unholy regime is in danger right now. Please pray for Imran Khan... He is our hope to break these shackles.
But it was common Pakistanis who forcibly convert Hindu girls. Sind was not partitioned. Yet what happened to Hindus who were 51% of Karachi population in 1947? That was done by ordinary Pakistanis. Ordinary Pakistanis are responsible for genocide of Kashmiri Pandits because they put money in jihad boxes.
A community is blessed if it has brave Broadcasters/ Journalists /Teachers /Preachers who look for TRUTH and express it without fear especially in the face of any consequential FASCISM!
20:05 The same thing goes for West Pakistani leaders like Yahia, Bhutto, Ayub or whoever. They were also NOT soul spokes person of entire Pakistan. They were for only West Pakistan, whereas Sheikh Mujib was for East one. Equal=Equal.
A objective , highly informative and well researched prodcast . Thank you yousuf Nazar for bringing these essential facts on record and educating us, particularly the new generation who know nothing about that tragic period in our history. There were so many falsehoods and propaganda cycled on this issue. TI
25:00 Sir. India does not have a federal system. We are not a loose association of states like Pakistan or the USA. We were united under the central government, we drafted a constitution and in the 50s, we were reorganised as states based on linguistic lines. But the central government has the power to redraft the state. Many cases of Indian states being bifurcated or trifurcated for administrative reasons exists. The most recent example is the southern state of Andhra, divided into Andhra and Telangana; the original Andhra state was organised in the 50s and had parts of Madras Province, Hyderabad, Mysore state and other provinces all in it.
Ppl like u guys should be more in Pakistan and also they should listen this more.. I feel intellectual Pakistani are heard more in India than Pakistan which doesn’t help much for them!!

I find it strange that Pakistanis make a hue and cry over Bangladesh. They should know that it was never supposed to happen. Two very distinct ethnicities and cultures from two opposite corners of United india, separated by a 1000 kms, were never to be together. Its actually a blessing in disguise for both pakistan and Bangladesh that they both got away from each other.
Not at all. Whole muslim ummah is one. Does not matter how much the distance is. Culture is different everywhere. Sindh are different than panjabis, kashmiris are different than panjabis.
Probably the best podcast I've heard in a very long time... we all talk about such facts behind closed doors, but never say out loud! Keep it up Bhai :)
Another fact must be mentioned here Sk. MUJIB SAAB was arrested by PAK army 25th of February 1971 and taken to Pakistan prison for almost a year, he was completely oblivious of what was going on behind his back
Let me set the record straight in 1972 India did Attack west Pakistan and we lost lot of land in west and the biggest loss was when Zulfiquar Ali Butto lost Kashmir when Indra Gandhi forced Butto to sign the agreement that Kashmir is no more a international dispute , only it’s a bilateral issue which we will try to solve among ourselves, and we are not going to raise this dispute on any international forum also land which was captured from Pakistan claiming that this is our land rather whole of Kashmir is India , only they return west Pakistan captured land and solders prisoners any way I rember it was a sad and black day, I saw lot of people crying
I was looking forward to gather information on history but after listening first 40 mins of podcast..im now fan of PPP and I’m officially joining PPP..thanks for changing my views about PPP..PPP is one of the best political party in the world PS: this is what happened after listening 40 mins
Midway through the podcast I realised that independence of Pakistan and Bangladesh is seen mostly as partition from India, hence the heroes are Jinnah, Iqbal etc in Pakistan, Mujeeb, Soharawardi etc in Bangladesh. This has the effect of dare I say, ignorance about the British Raj and missing historical perspective about those 200 years. So up until 1947, what Pakistan, Bangladesh memorize is history of Muslim league, which is just the last chapter of the whole saga of colonization of India. In Indian history books about that era, they start from the East India company, go through the many wars between the British and the Indian kingdoms, then rise of Congress and the many colors of resistance against the British, then very late in the books the Muslim league arrives and whatever happens next is seen in India somewhat through lens of the Congress (which isn't the best way but still informative). I believe it's a gigantic wealth of historical knowledge that Pakistan and Bangladesh are missing out on. There are countless heroes to be remembered by both and many crucial incidents to be known. There are tons of stories of individuals that are awe inspiring and make you appreciate what happened to this country.
Agree. Another point especially regarding partition, especially Punjab is, that while Indians looks at partition as a sad event that divided the country, and that’s what is taught to us, and you will see Indian punjabis lamenting the event, on the Pakistani side it is a celebrated event. For them it was creation of their nation and I have rarely seen any Punjabi Pakistani even those who suffered in 47, talking about it with sadness. That’s something that I only realized through you tube videos! A very different perspective!
Also, they are missing out on this knowledge because their historybooks are designed to do that! To justify the two nation theory down and religious narrative behind creating Pakistan.
Far better than Ayesha Jalal. Although don't agree with the guest entirely. Especially about Mujib insisting Yahia to postpone assembly and declare Marshal law by 25th March 1971. Not logical. Cause it was entirely Yahia's call. And Mujib was on the position of either separation or being the PM. But the basic fact ever uttered by any Pakistani which is 'Operation Searchlight ' was the principal reason and how brutally extreme it was. But Bhutto knew it from the beginning.
@@ThePakistanExperience the so-called evidence provided by Mr. Nazar collected by army buerocracy. Why should we believe in them? Rather you tell me something. Who were the beneficiary of postponing assembly? Obviously Pak Army and Bhutto. Not Mujib. Because assembly was badly needed for him to make six points constitutional. Timeline pe nahi logic se baat Kar. Usual hopeless Pakistani always living in conspiracy theory.
Shahzad. Is it possible that someday you invite a common person/ Pakistani and talk about his perspective. It feels like your podcast is also captured by “Elites”
Most of the villages were hindu dominated. Many villages were burned down and residents were killed mercilessly and today many corpses are found in undermining in Dhaka. It's a hindu genocide not a bengali genocide.
Pak army recruited Jamaat-e-Islami who thought it was holy duty to eradicate hindus. It all comes back to the sunnat of papa momo and the violence within it
Bhutto did not use the phrase "Tangein tor doon ga". What he said was "we will have no leg to stand on" if agreement is not reached on the Constitution.
From the inception of Pakistan, Bengalis of East Pakistan had faced discrimination. Islam teaches the equality among all human beings as well as fraternity and sorority among all Muslims. We, Bengalis, despite being the majority of the population of Pakistan as well as despite being a Muslim majority, were neither being treated as brothers/sisters nor being treated as equal. West Pakistan used to look down upon Bengalis because of our darker skin tone. Bengalis were NOT given equal opportunity to good education and respectable jobs, despite having intelligence and talents. Furthermore, resources of East Pakistan were being used for the development of West Pakistan and our people used to starve. On 1970, a cyclone hit in the coastal areas of East Pakistan, causing a lot of casualties. Pakistan Government didn’t bother. That’s the time we’ve realized that we need a leader from our own community. In the beginning of 1971, there was an election and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won the maximum votes. West Pakistan couldn’t digest the fact that a Bengali (someone from an inferior race) would rule them. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested, but was released later. On that moment, the whole Bengali nation felt the need of becoming an independent nation. So the war began. From the night of March 25, 1971, Yahya Khan and Tikka Khan pounced upon unarmed Bengalis in the name of “Operation Searchlight” and started killing our innocent people as well as picking up our women for rape. During those days, Pakistan Army proudly declared in the newspaper, “We will leave a nation of bastards and idiots.” About three million (3,000,000) Bengalis were being killed mercilessly (including our bright professionals) and two lakh (200,000) Bengali women were being raped repeatedly in the concentration camp by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators (Razakars). Women, who were being raped, got pregnant. Many women terminated their pregnancy. Those who couldn’t, delivered babies and abandoned them. These abandoned kids were given away for the adoption. Most of those babies were adopted by foreigners and were taken away to foreign countries. Others were adopted by our local people.
I believe that the massacre of innocent Bengalis will always haunt Pakistan s karma ! It’s a very very disgraceful moment in world history, what their “professional” military did to its own citizens !
Book recommendations by Mr. Yousuf Nazar: 1) Gambling on Development by Stefan Dercon 2) The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros. I have read the latter and it's a great book. I will read the earlier one. I love your conversation style and wisdom & experience of Mr. Nazar.
I have learnt so much from this channel. I can’t believe how ignorant I was and probably still am. I’m 32 and lived all my life in Pakistan. Thank you for this.

@Shehzad the subscriptions on your channel are criminally low! I can't believe how you've managed to bring heavy weights to your channel and ask them incredible questions yet the message doesn't reach the masses. It's a crying shame. With incredibly short attention spans of viewers and a cut-throat competition for content creation and viewer retention, maybe try slicing your interviews into 5 mins snippets? Like Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson? Keep up the good work mate.
We still have journalist who toe the same line as of pre 1971. Today Baluchies and Sindhis are treated in the same manner as were bengalies pre 1971. They don't want separation but respect, fair and equal treatment.
20 mins in the podcast and i am disappointed by how shehzad is just letting him paint a narrative without any probing questions. did bhutto not say "east Pakistan is saved" after returning back to west Pakistan after the start of the military operation? he certainly was not an innocent bystander as yousuf nazar sahab is painting him to be.
I was also thinking the same thing. Bhutto landed in pakistan after the operation began and said ' By the grace of God ,pakistan is saved' . He wasnt a bystander but a cheerleader of genocide at least.
In a Podcast, you have to listen to the other person. Everyone's opinion matters, you don't have to correct them. Maybe some other guest in future might present a different picture and then the audience can decide what's suits them.
@@Shahzebfaheem listening to an opinion is fine. but when someone is denying or ignoring straight up facts, they need to be challenged, especially when talking about a massive historical event.
This is a very honest interview. We hear about the coming together of Pakistan as the Sindh Assembly, the Punjab Assembly and the Bengal Assembly voted in the Muslim League, and as it won a referendum in the Frontier Province. We also hear, a little later, that Kalat was annexed. All these are well known to students of history. For a knowledgeable Pakistani to say this openly is a pleasant shock. However his leaning towards Bhutto distorts the whole episode.
Dear Shehzad, would you please manage to provide English subtitle of this podcast ? As I am from Bangladesh, My understanding of Urdu is very minimal. I have found it a very objective and eloquent discussion.
@@himanshusrivastava2025 I didn't ask for anything from your retarded mind & soul. I know very well about the secession and that's not my concern here. It's about something else.
The constituent assembly was first called on the 27th of February, 1971. However, Yahya Khan inexplicably postponed it without giving a new date, triggering riots all over East Pakistan. Yahya was said to be influenced by Bhutto's rhetoric on "breaking the legs" of anyone who went to Dacca.
The problem with Pakistan is the well-meaning intellectuals have to spend so much time explaining the history and past and who is responsible that not much time remains to worry about the future! Unfortunate!
The guest already suggested the next steps. Not sure if you heard it. The hardest part is NOT knowing what to do - but to actually doing / implementing it. That is because it involves the elites of PK working collaboratively and sacrificing their personal self-interests in the interest of PK. And that we can bet that the elites of PK are highly unlikely to that. (The guest said that he does not see that happening in his lifetime.) For them - it is not about doing what is good for PK - but what is there in it for me. The guest said all that in the Podcast if you heard it.
Shehzad and Yousuf Nazar Sahab, thank you for a discussion that told Pakistan's side of the story. I was nearing the end of my 'Masters' program at Calcutta University when the war in East Bengal ended on 16-Dec-1971. Residents in and around Calcutta were lucky; we had a ringside view. Plot allotment in Pakistan has also thrown up a little spoken of problem -- concurrently shrinking agricultural and horticultural land. Productive fruit orchards and cropping areas have been compromised to accommodate plotting. According to 2018 figures, Pakistan's crop yield dropped to among the world's lowest levels; it's agricultural productivity slid below 50%; this forced Pakistan to close the gap by importing such food items instead.

Today, most of them have settled in India. They have taken citizenship. Some of them have gone back to Bangladesh. My father was recently invited to the wedding of the grandson of one of the refugees. I accompanied him to a city called Kuakata in Bangladesh. It felt good to see those people smiling, even though I had never seen them before.
Just thought you might be interested in a small story. Cheers🤍
@@orion7326 soul breaking pain. Don't know how to heal? The trauma of 'operation Searchlight ' committed by Pakistan Army is now grounded in our collective unconscious . Our conscience trying to escape the responsibility to release itself. But now we understand it's right to face it. Someday by being powerful we will bring down Pakistan Army under the trial of any tribunal for their war crimes. We owe to history.
@@arifhossainrubel4791 Bangladesh is already doing quite well on it's own, which is a great thing in itself. I have been there only once, but the things I saw impressed me quite a lot. Now you guys have got a metro as well. But I have to say, the drivers are scary😅, very similar to the Tamil drivers in India. I travelled a few times by bus and each time I had to keep reminding myself that the driver is an expert, nothing is going to happen to me and i will be okay😅. The roads were quite nice though. And the people were lovely. I only speak a little bit of Bangla but they were very nice. They also were quite funny, which was great because I like people who can laugh and so, I had a wonderful time.
I must admit, the way you guys cook fish is incredible. Very tasty. I have borrowed some recipes and tried to recreate them, with limited success.🤣
The way I see it, Bangladesh's prosperity is its best revenge. Today, Pakistan is imploding but Bangladesh is doing quite well. Pakistan is going in reverse, while Bangladesh is cruising on the sixth gear.
No matter what, I will always have a soft spot for Bangladesh. And I think most Indians already have a very soft spot for Bangladesh. And it makes me feel good to see Bangladesh succeed and go ahead. 🇧🇩❤️
Love from bangladesh.....for baluchistan
My kudos to Shehzad and to this amazing guest for such a wonderful and a high-bandwidth conversation.
Seeing this from outside of PK - it is of immense relief to see that there are at least a few people who are not deluded about PK and the magnitude of the problems that it faces. So, Kudos!!! And my Best wishes for more such wonderful shows and discussions. 🙏

Wow! what an interview. Shezad, you almost fooled me into not watching by labelling Mr Nazar as an "investment banker". Actually, his view of the events leading to the creation of Bangladesh was the most fascinating. This interview "hits it out of the park", as they say. Congratulations (once again)!

One of the best podcasts to date on this channel! Highly intellectual, factual and unbiased account of our history. What I loved was the honesty of the discussion.
On top of that Shezad himself was so looking forward to the show, he shaved for it! matlab puppo bacha bun kar podcast host kya hai! Kya baat hai!
What an astonishing intellect this man is.
The genocide was especially targeted towards Hindus. Some of the most horrific massacres include that in Ramana Kali temple in Dhaka on March 27, 1971. Pak Army simply entered the temple, killed all the devotees present including the priest and then destroyed the temple.
Jinnah declared Urdu as the state language in 1948, ignoring Bengali. There was a strong reaction in East Bengal.
He also dismissed the democratically elected government of Badshah Khan. He started the tradition of soldiers dressed as trials being sent to Kashmir which was repeated in 1965 and 1999.
Hindus were pushed out of Karachi (though Sind was not partitioned) by Liaqat Ali to make room for Mohajirs. What happened to 24% Hindus that were in Pakistan in 1947. You think that did not hurt educational infrastructure and trade competitiveness.
And Jinnah made that declaration in English as he did not know Urdu.
after a long time i have come across an intelligent and articulated pakistani.
A remarkable and fascinating interview and exchange between Shehzad and Mr Nazar. Lucid and informative, was a treat to watch and absorb. Kudos!
pakistanis will continue talking till the country disappear.they will not do anything.they are ruled by chowkidars.
What a good scholar - reminds me of Bassin taken in many ways as he is fiercely independent and note institution sanctioned
This is the best ever Pakistani podcast I have ever watched. Both host and guest are too knowledgeable and well articulated.
Citizenship lelo gale laga lenge tumhe.😊😂
Yousuf Nasar sb thank you for sharing your experience
Brilliant lesson in history & economy! Loved it!
I am a Pakistani.... And the only issue with Pakistan before 1971 and right now is that we are hostage to our military establishment. I always felt ashamed that our military killed our bangali brothers but now I don't feel ashamed... Because it were not the common Pakistanis who did that. Love to all my bangali brothers from Lahore.
Good that if you are not ashamed of your Army's and political leaders role in Bengali genocide. Let me tell you something, more than lacs of momins were borned after the Pak Armys raping spree, ordered by Bhutto and Army generals. So, these Pakistani momins would be around 40-50 years old.
thank you waqas, i was 17 years old , i have seen all the atrocities of pak soldiers, me amd my family will never forgive them till the day of hashre.
@@smilefaceofbengal The one leader who has actually challenged this unholy regime is in danger right now. Please pray for Imran Khan... He is our hope to break these shackles.
@pk dl Yes and you are liberated by your hate. Don't you find any reason for minding your own business?
But it was common Pakistanis who forcibly convert Hindu girls. Sind was not partitioned. Yet what happened to Hindus who were 51% of Karachi population in 1947? That was done by ordinary Pakistanis. Ordinary Pakistanis are responsible for genocide of Kashmiri Pandits because they put money in jihad boxes.
A community is blessed if it has brave Broadcasters/ Journalists /Teachers /Preachers who look for TRUTH and express it without fear especially in the face of any consequential FASCISM!
What a podcast with a remarkable personality Yousef Nazar
What a wonderful discussion. I listened to it along with my work and very subtle points were made. More such talks please- Love from the US
Shehzad BHai thank you so much for extremely knowledgeable and informative discussions. Thank you so so much.
🙌
Loved calmness of guest. Hope we can hear more intellectual like him.
Wonderful discussion and the man clearly shows his expertise in economics
20:05
The same thing goes for West Pakistani leaders like Yahia, Bhutto, Ayub or whoever. They were also NOT soul spokes person of entire Pakistan. They were for only West Pakistan, whereas Sheikh Mujib was for East one.
Equal=Equal.
What a interesting speaker,call him over again please
SHEHZAD IS A WONDERFUL YOUNG JOUNALIST❤ BEST WISHES
❤
A objective , highly informative and well researched prodcast . Thank you yousuf Nazar for bringing these essential facts on record and educating us, particularly the new generation who know nothing about that tragic period in our history. There were so many falsehoods and propaganda cycled on this issue. TI
Excellent analysis....and discussion. As a Pakistan Watcher its plethora of information.
I am loving the every moment of the podcast.
I wish we Bangladeshis, Indians, and Pakistanis had never separated. We could have been much stronger and more culturally valuable.
Thank you Shehzad for inviting him, one of the best interview about history and economy…! Very knowledgeable
A courageous man indeed! Called a spade a spade.
This man is a Bhutto apologist. The fact remains bhutto did more harm to pakistan than anybody else.
Very rarely does an interview put things in proper perspective on every topic that it takes up. Absolutely fantastic Yousuf Sb!!
Great Podcast! Please keep up with this.
25:00 Sir. India does not have a federal system. We are not a loose association of states like Pakistan or the USA.
We were united under the central government, we drafted a constitution and in the 50s, we were reorganised as states based on linguistic lines.
But the central government has the power to redraft the state. Many cases of Indian states being bifurcated or trifurcated for administrative reasons exists.
The most recent example is the southern state of Andhra, divided into Andhra and Telangana; the original Andhra state was organised in the 50s and had parts of Madras Province, Hyderabad, Mysore state and other provinces all in it.
Ppl like u guys should be more in Pakistan and also they should listen this more.. I feel intellectual Pakistani are heard more in India than Pakistan which doesn’t help much for them!!
Very good discussion…..finally two educated people talking about Pakistan’s history honestly and with facts.
🙌
One thing I would like to salute you shehzad...your calmness , politeness and the way to conduct a podcast. Great work.

Remember he is not your friend..you are supporting this channel and keeping him afloat,but for that he would not survive.However good he maybe…he is aPakistani. And he can change only to an extent.Anna wakt inpe Zaya na karo..
I have to say: If Mujeeb Ur Rehman being the leader of majority was not the soul leader of Pakistan, Bhutto was not either.
Hands down this is by far the best podcast i have heard for quite some time now !!! Kudos !!
Every Pakistani Should must watch this podcast
one of the best interview I have heard on Pakistan affairs. More such discussions please.
I find it strange that Pakistanis make a hue and cry over Bangladesh. They should know that it was never supposed to happen. Two very distinct ethnicities and cultures from two opposite corners of United india, separated by a 1000 kms, were never to be together. Its actually a blessing in disguise for both pakistan and Bangladesh that they both got away from each other.
Not at all. Whole muslim ummah is one. Does not matter how much the distance is. Culture is different everywhere. Sindh are different than panjabis, kashmiris are different than panjabis.
Probably the best podcast I've heard in a very long time... we all talk about such facts behind closed doors, but never say out loud! Keep it up Bhai :)
Another fact must be mentioned here Sk. MUJIB SAAB was arrested by PAK army 25th of February 1971 and taken to Pakistan prison for almost a year, he was completely oblivious of what was going on behind his back
😅o😅imk😢 ok oo😅opoo
Let me set the record straight in 1972 India did Attack west Pakistan and we lost lot of land in west and the biggest loss was when Zulfiquar Ali Butto lost Kashmir when Indra Gandhi forced Butto to sign the agreement that Kashmir is no more a international dispute , only it’s a bilateral issue which we will try to solve among ourselves, and we are not going to raise this dispute on any international forum also land which was captured from Pakistan claiming that this is our land rather whole of Kashmir is India , only they return west Pakistan captured land and solders prisoners any way I rember it was a sad and black day, I saw lot of people crying
I was looking forward to gather information on history but after listening first 40 mins of podcast..im now fan of PPP and I’m officially joining PPP..thanks for changing my views about PPP..PPP is one of the best political party in the world

Midway through the podcast I realised that independence of Pakistan and Bangladesh is seen mostly as partition from India, hence the heroes are Jinnah, Iqbal etc in Pakistan, Mujeeb, Soharawardi etc in Bangladesh. This has the effect of dare I say, ignorance about the British Raj and missing historical perspective about those 200 years. So up until 1947, what Pakistan, Bangladesh memorize is history of Muslim league, which is just the last chapter of the whole saga of colonization of India.
In Indian history books about that era, they start from the East India company, go through the many wars between the British and the Indian kingdoms, then rise of Congress and the many colors of resistance against the British, then very late in the books the Muslim league arrives and whatever happens next is seen in India somewhat through lens of the Congress (which isn't the best way but still informative).
I believe it's a gigantic wealth of historical knowledge that Pakistan and Bangladesh are missing out on. There are countless heroes to be remembered by both and many crucial incidents to be known. There are tons of stories of individuals that are awe inspiring and make you appreciate what happened to this country.
Agree. Another point especially regarding partition, especially Punjab is, that while Indians looks at partition as a sad event that divided the country, and that’s what is taught to us, and you will see Indian punjabis lamenting the event, on the Pakistani side it is a celebrated event. For them it was creation of their nation and I have rarely seen any Punjabi Pakistani even those who suffered in 47, talking about it with sadness. That’s something that I only realized through you tube videos! A very different perspective!
Also, they are missing out on this knowledge because their historybooks are designed to do that! To justify the two nation theory down and religious narrative behind creating Pakistan.
What a super show. Free public auction of land. Distribution of public land to generals and bureaucrats at dirt cheap is a central issue.
Thats how a podcast should be done. Many new podcaster dont let the guest speak, but you did an excellent job. Keep up the good work.♥️

Far better than Ayesha Jalal. Although don't agree with the guest entirely. Especially about Mujib insisting Yahia to postpone assembly and declare Marshal law by 25th March 1971. Not logical. Cause it was entirely Yahia's call. And Mujib was on the position of either separation or being the PM. But the basic fact ever uttered by any Pakistani which is 'Operation Searchlight ' was the principal reason and how brutally extreme it was. But Bhutto knew it from the beginning.
@@ThePakistanExperience the so-called evidence provided by Mr. Nazar collected by army buerocracy. Why should we believe in them? Rather you tell me something. Who were the beneficiary of postponing assembly? Obviously Pak Army and Bhutto. Not Mujib. Because assembly was badly needed for him to make six points constitutional. Timeline pe nahi logic se baat Kar. Usual hopeless Pakistani always living in conspiracy theory.
@@arifhossainrubel4791 Exactly what I was thinking.
Shahzad. Is it possible that someday you invite a common person/ Pakistani and talk about his perspective. It feels like your podcast is also captured by “Elites”

Thank you so much Shahzad for these amazing podcasts!!
Mass Burning of villages by the Pak Army led to the exodus of helpless Benglis. (Siddiq Salik, Witness to Surrender, Chapter 10)
Also the rape of lakhs of Bengali women and the murder of lakhs of the men... Read the "Blood Telegram", a book on the atrocities by a western author.
Most of the villages were hindu dominated.
Many villages were burned down and residents were killed mercilessly and today many corpses are found in undermining in Dhaka.
It's a hindu genocide not a bengali genocide.
Pak army recruited Jamaat-e-Islami who thought it was holy duty to eradicate hindus. It all comes back to the sunnat of papa momo and the violence within it
Bhutto did not use the phrase "Tangein tor doon ga". What he said was "we will have no leg to stand on" if agreement is not reached on the Constitution.
kaha tha ya bhutto ny bikul kaha tha.. prove chahiy to send kr dayta hon
This was the headline of his own Newspaper I.e. Missawat whose editor was Hanif Ramay
We didn't wanna go into even east Pakistan but you gifted us 10 million refugees
From the inception of Pakistan, Bengalis of East Pakistan had faced discrimination. Islam teaches the equality among all human beings as well as fraternity and sorority among all Muslims. We, Bengalis, despite being the majority of the population of Pakistan as well as despite being a Muslim majority, were neither being treated as brothers/sisters nor being treated as equal. West Pakistan used to look down upon Bengalis because of our darker skin tone. Bengalis were NOT given equal opportunity to good education and respectable jobs, despite having intelligence and talents. Furthermore, resources of East Pakistan were being used for the development of West Pakistan and our people used to starve. On 1970, a cyclone hit in the coastal areas of East Pakistan, causing a lot of casualties. Pakistan Government didn’t bother. That’s the time we’ve realized that we need a leader from our own community. In the beginning of 1971, there was an election and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won the maximum votes. West Pakistan couldn’t digest the fact that a Bengali (someone from an inferior race) would rule them. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested, but was released later. On that moment, the whole Bengali nation felt the need of becoming an independent nation. So the war began. From the night of March 25, 1971, Yahya Khan and Tikka Khan pounced upon unarmed Bengalis in the name of “Operation Searchlight” and started killing our innocent people as well as picking up our women for rape. During those days, Pakistan Army proudly declared in the newspaper, “We will leave a nation of bastards and idiots.” About three million (3,000,000) Bengalis were being killed mercilessly (including our bright professionals) and two lakh (200,000) Bengali women were being raped repeatedly in the concentration camp by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators (Razakars). Women, who were being raped, got pregnant. Many women terminated their pregnancy. Those who couldn’t, delivered babies and abandoned them. These abandoned kids were given away for the adoption. Most of those babies were adopted by foreigners and were taken away to foreign countries. Others were adopted by our local people.
I believe that the massacre of innocent Bengalis will always haunt Pakistan s karma ! It’s a very very disgraceful moment in world history, what their “professional” military did to its own citizens !
Book recommendations by Mr. Yousuf Nazar: 1) Gambling on Development by Stefan Dercon 2) The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros. I have read the latter and it's a great book. I will read the earlier one. I love your conversation style and wisdom & experience of Mr. Nazar.
I have learnt so much from this channel. I can’t believe how ignorant I was and probably still am. I’m 32 and lived all my life in Pakistan.
Thank you for this.

Excellent content. Enlightening! 🌻
At 2:24 isn't that an Error?
Md. Ali Jinnah never declared Bengali as a State Language but he declared Urdu as a State Language while standing amongst people of the then East Pakistan.
I think many people underestimate a Bengali's love for his Mother Tongue.
That was a slip of tongue error. He clearly meant Urdu not Bengali.
In conclusion what we need to do:
1)Economic reform
2)Bureaucratic reforms
3)Educational reforms
4)Civil-Military inter reform
5)Judicial reform
6)Police reforms
7)Election reforms
8)Land reform
9)Human development
10)Electricity reform

@Shehzad the subscriptions on your channel are criminally low! I can't believe how you've managed to bring heavy weights to your channel and ask them incredible questions yet the message doesn't reach the masses. It's a crying shame. With incredibly short attention spans of viewers and a cut-throat competition for content creation and viewer retention, maybe try slicing your interviews into 5 mins snippets? Like Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson?
Keep up the good work mate.
Agreed. I too felt same.
Great. It couldn't have been better.
We still have journalist who toe the same line as of pre 1971. Today Baluchies and Sindhis are treated in the same manner as were bengalies pre 1971. They don't want separation but respect, fair and equal treatment.
If Pakistan will treat the minorities of Muslim community with respect and equal rights then half of the problem will be solved there .
Yousuf Nazar :Pakistani see everything black and white
Pakistani : We see everything green and non green 😆
20 mins in the podcast and i am disappointed by how shehzad is just letting him paint a narrative without any probing questions. did bhutto not say "east Pakistan is saved" after returning back to west Pakistan after the start of the military operation? he certainly was not an innocent bystander as yousuf nazar sahab is painting him to be.
I was also thinking the same thing. Bhutto landed in pakistan after the operation began and said ' By the grace of God ,pakistan is saved' . He wasnt a bystander but a cheerleader of genocide at least.
In a Podcast, you have to listen to the other person. Everyone's opinion matters, you don't have to correct them. Maybe some other guest in future might present a different picture and then the audience can decide what's suits them.
@@Shahzebfaheem listening to an opinion is fine. but when someone is denying or ignoring straight up facts, they need to be challenged, especially when talking about a massive historical event.
Shehzad is PPP apologist. So obviously they will absolve Bhutto. They are forgetting “Hum idhar tum udhar”

This is a very honest interview. We hear about the coming together of Pakistan as the Sindh Assembly, the Punjab Assembly and the Bengal Assembly voted in the Muslim League, and as it won a referendum in the Frontier Province. We also hear, a little later, that Kalat was annexed.
All these are well known to students of history.
For a knowledgeable Pakistani to say this openly is a pleasant shock.
However his leaning towards Bhutto distorts the whole episode.

Candid discussion.
The constituent assembly was first called on the 27th of February, 1971. However, Yahya Khan inexplicably postponed it without giving a new date, triggering riots all over East Pakistan. Yahya was said to be influenced by Bhutto's rhetoric on "breaking the legs" of anyone who went to Dacca.
Regarding Musharraf time:
Yes foreign aid was a factor
But, exports, remittances & taxes increased
Maybe because there was political stability at that time

Highly knowledgeable podcast...Thank you shehzad sir
Very thought provoking discussion.Thank you Shahzad for arranging such a useful debate.
🙌
In Feb.72 Bhutto visited Dacca for talks with Mujib.
Bhutto wasn’t just keeping low but he was cheerleading. Being leader is taking a stand against injustice.
The problem with Pakistan is the well-meaning intellectuals have to spend so much time explaining the history and past and who is responsible that not much time remains to worry about the future! Unfortunate!
The guest already suggested the next steps. Not sure if you heard it. The hardest part is NOT knowing what to do - but to actually doing / implementing it. That is because it involves the elites of PK working collaboratively and sacrificing their personal self-interests in the interest of PK. And that we can bet that the elites of PK are highly unlikely to that. (The guest said that he does not see that happening in his lifetime.) For them - it is not about doing what is good for PK - but what is there in it for me. The guest said all that in the Podcast if you heard it.
Shehzad and Yousuf Nazar Sahab, thank you for a discussion that told Pakistan's side of the story. I was nearing the end of my 'Masters' program at Calcutta University when the war in East Bengal ended on 16-Dec-1971. Residents in and around Calcutta were lucky; we had a ringside view.
Plot allotment in Pakistan has also thrown up a little spoken of problem -- concurrently shrinking agricultural and horticultural land. Productive fruit orchards and cropping areas have been compromised to accommodate plotting.
According to 2018 figures, Pakistan's crop yield dropped to among the world's lowest levels; it's agricultural productivity slid below 50%; this forced Pakistan to close the gap by importing such food items instead.
🙌
Definitely a very interesting episode. The gentleman is very knowledgable. Thank you. Best wishes from Bangalore, India.
