Rabz bhai, there are several methodological problems that arise when one tries to compile such a list. The first major one, is the question of: "who is a Rajakar"? This might lead to the immediate response - "anyone who was against the liberation of the Bangalee people". That raises a second ancillary question, "what does it mean to be for/against the liberation/creation of Bangladesh?"
Is the line drawn at those who perpetuated murder, rape and genocide against the Bangalee people, in a wholesale effort to destroy our identity or is it drawn much wider to include anyone who didn't directly participate in the War effort? I think most would agree that it's somewhere in between. But where? What would be, for instance, the status of businessmen, teachers, civil servants, etc. who didn't participate in the war effort - but didn't kill or rape anyone either? Should they be termed rajakars too, for helping preserve the Pakistani status quo?
And even if this question is addressed, and say, someone is found to be a rajakar - is his entire family and their unborn progeny damned as 'rajakar poribar' forever too?
It's a thorny issue, but merits serious consideration.
