BEHIND THE Myth of 3 million

BEHIND THE MYTH OF THREE MILLION  is a  re-examination
of a sad chapter in the relationship of  the people of Pakistan and
Bangladesh and exposes its utterly contrived nature as well as the
motive behind such inventiveness. I am one of those whose family were
reported among the casualties of Pakistan Army's action in Dhaka on
the night of 26 March 1971. Some of my personal friends within the
'liberationist' camp even had a condolence meeting for me in their
Indian safe heaven! I am not alone in having been counted as dead.
Countless other people could tell a similar story of their own. Some
have even  found their names engraved  in the commemorative plaques
solemnly dedicated in memory of the fallen heroes of the Bangladesh
War. [3] Being one of  many such ‘reincarnated’  beings, I feel duty
bound to help remove the myth which is of no service either to my
fellow countrymen or to history. Yet, mindful of the requirement  of
objectivity  I have chosen to confine myself to published works and
recorded sources and have analyzed them with the utmost fidelity to the
truth. The ultimate judgement lies with the reader and it is my hope that
they would find the pages that follow both interesting and informative.
