Dear Sbsash,
Its great to know that you are curious to find out about our Independence War.
I was born 10 years after the war, so cant give you any practical experience.
But you can visit www.genocidebangladesh.org to find more about the war.

Dear sbsash,
Thank you for your quest. I would strongly recommend you to start from this e-book - Link
You can download this pdf and just go through the সূচিপত্র and click on whatever topic you wanna read and check it out. Invest some of your spare time, it is worth reading every page.
Hope it will help.

Sbsash,
I think the best people to ask about the war is your parents. That's what I did.
well this is not what I experienced since you know I was not born during that time...But this is bits and pieces of what my family experienced.
My Dad told me how he was playing cricket with his mates and a bomb exploded in the middle of their match, and how he had to go hide underground with his family. he was about 9 years old during that time.
On the other hand, My mum told me how her house got burnt down and she had to runway with her family, and because my Nanu Bhaiya (RIP) was an Aumi legue MP he was arrested during that time.
So she pretty much had to Suffer in the war with only my Nanu and her little brothers and Elder sister.
Today when I go to my Nanu Bari, She has still kept the old furniture of when their house got burnt down, and if you look carefully you can see all the burnt marks. It's basically like a museum for me when i go there.
So yeah, I think the best people to ask is our parents. IF it wasn't for them I would not feel so strong about the war. I actually found out my Khalu was a freedom fighter. So you'll never know what you might find out about your family.
Oh and the next time you go to Bangladesh, make sure you visit the war museum in Dhaka

Under water? gosh!
And after all this the war criminals have not been punished yet.
I was watching a programm on Channel i ( i think its called "mukti gudho protidin") and a lady came and was saying how her husband was killed in front of her and how one of her sons became Schitsophernic. These sorts of stories bring tears to my eyes, so many families suffered and yet not a single person was asked to answer for.
Btw Its good you opened this thread, I would like to know what other people experienced as well .

They shot him because they thought they were hindus, my grand parents went to my great grandma's house for shelter but after the war they rebuilt the burnt house.
