If it was 1971 would you join the mukti bahini?

Many of the posts here are not at surprising. This is BC after all with a huge number of folks who do not and probably never will represent the popular consciousness of Bangladesh spiritually, culturally or politically. If that's all we had in 1971, we'd still still be the biaches of Pakistan today and would actually have switched to the "roti diet" to watch (not play) international cricket under the captaincy of some fair skinned Khan Niazi or another as we fantasized about literally breeding the Bangali out of our systems.

It was a time when "ordinary" people did "extraordinary" things defending our GOD given rights, culture, communities and ourselves against evil perpetuated in the name of "national unity", "religious purity" and "unity of the Umma". They were defeated but that narrative continues to live under a different guise and threaten us the best it can. I see of a lot of that attitude in BC. Frack you and your self loathing, ignorant and beard & Niqab chasing panoramic retardation.

Anyway, we had:

1. 85,000 salaried FFs.

2. 150,000 regular militia or FFs who weren't or couldn't be paid regularly.

3. Estimated 300,000 irregular militia or FFs who volunteered for specific missions.

4. More than 50,000,000 people who risked their lives every single day in an environment of Military-Islamist genocide, mass rape, mass torture and brigandage supporting the FFs with food, shelter and intel.

5. 10,000,000 refugees in India, most of whom did the best they could to support our FFs from there.

6. Estimated 100,000 sissies and opportunists in India dining at Nizam's and the Grand Hotel, waiting for the "juddho-tuddho" to be over.

We are a nation of heroes, most still alive today, where sissies and collaborators -- about 75,000 Al-Badr and Al-Shams Razakars (now hiding abroad as pious men when not holding office in Jamaat, BNP, JP and even a small number in BAL), and most in the organized Bihari community -- are outnumbered by a giant margin MashAllah.

I agree with your post Sohel bhai, but please don't take me otherwise...going off-topic thought Nizam's and the Grand Hotel were fictitious...read about them in Feluda series...I myself is a big of Feluda and these two food places were his favourites.....

[Sohel]

I feel you on the Feluda front there Zinat. I love both those places though Old Dhaka has way better Dhakaiya Mughlai than Kolkata ever could.

I actually have a few sissy and aloof family members from that era who spent 1971 to 1972 eating at those places when in Kolkata. They also took extended shopping trips to London, NYC and Singapore during that time. We're not at all proud to have them in our particular gene pool.

[Zunaid]

Sohel - don't forget those Bangladeshis who were in the Army and who along with their family were incarcerated in POW camps. They expressed complete allegiance to Bangladesh and some even managed to escape and participated fully in the liberation war.

Oh gosh! If some bigots, who are sadly Bangladeshis, can still claim they are/were part of Pakistan and wave their flag in cricket matches, anything's possible!

Absolutely bro, both you and were at those prison camps being used as human shields and hostages. I still remember celebrating Pauhela Boishakh and Robindro and Nojrul Jauyonti inside those camps, and our parents organizing Bangla classes there.

If the Simla Agreement didn't materialize and the captured Pakistani POWs accused of warcrimes weren't returned to Pakistan under the assurance that they'd be tried in Pakistan, they were ready to kill us all. That's also a fact.

[al Furqaan]

If I was there, then...almost certainly YES. I'd like to take it to the murtad PAK army and especially their generals.

Sohel bhai, I'll be honest with you. I can feel the insult in the above comment, and don't necessarily think it's fair. True, BC is comprised of people who will not represent the consciousness of Bangladeshis in '71. Then again, Bangladeshis today will not represent the popular conciousness of Bangladeshis in '71. Don't forget the flag bearing fans commenting on tv how they feel like pakistanis today - they are in Bangladesh.

You said '71 was a a time when ordinary people did extra-ordinary things. Exactly my point. This is 2012, most people like me are blessed to not have experienced the war. I'm a firm believer that if we were having this same conversation in '71, our comments would be vastly different, and so would our emotions be as well.

Thank you Kabir bhai for the heartwarming post

My family suffered direct deaths in 1971. I would fight in any way.

[F6_Turbo]

Yes I would....I'd be scared sh1tless and if I took up arms instead of offering myself in other capacities, I'd probably get killed falling out of a truck or shot in a not every accidental case of friendly fire.

But, I would be there without a shadow of a doubt.

[Zunaid]

What turbo said.

Are you the same guy who felt ashamed of his race, language and wanted to marry a shada chamra so that your kids would be good looking ?
