Which countries have the most brutal and terrible history? The total number of people killed during the Bangladesh Genocide is estimated to be between 1 and 3 million. The Pakistani service also targeted religious nonages, particularly the Hindu population of East Pakistan, and it’s believed that over to2.4 million Hindus were killed or displaced during the violence.
The Bangladesh Genocide is considered one of the worst mortal rights violations of the 20th century. In the decades since the genocide, there have been sweats to seek justice for the victims and hold those responsible responsible for their conduct.
In 1971, following times of political and profitable pressures between East and West Pakistan, the Bengali population of East Pakistan began a movement for lesser autonomy and eventually independence.
In response, the Pakistani service launched” Operation Searchlight” on 25 March 1971, a military crackdown against Bengali chauvinists and secessionists. The operation included mass apprehensions, torture, and the payoff of thousands of Bengalis in a matter of hours.
Over the following nine months, the Pakistani service and their collaborators carried out a crusade of violence, torture, and rape against the Bengali population. The violence was particularly brutal, with the military targeting civilians, scholars, intellectualists, and religious nonages.
The service also used mass rape as a armament of war, with estimates suggesting that over to 400,000 women were ravished during the genocide.
In addition to the loss of life, the Bangladesh Genocide also redounded in a significant number of people being displaced. It’s estimated that over to 10 million people were forced to flee their homes and came deportees in bordering India. The conditions in the exile camps were dire, with numerous people dying from complaint, malnutrition, and exposure.
