  • Rnöý S9 Ýý6ý Ýx Colonel Oli Ahmad, Bir Bikram (Retd. ) June 2003
    rnöý S9 ýý6ý ýx REVOLUTION, MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THE WAR OF LIBERATION IN BANGLADESH BY Colonel Oli Ahmad, Bir Bikram (Retd.) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Social Science & Law OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY In partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 2003 ABSTRACT The study has focused on the role and motivations of the Bengali military officers in the Pakistan Army during the initial but critical phase of the Liberation War of 1971. Unlike the military in some other Third World Countries, at that point of time, the Bengali military officers made a move neither for grabbing political power nor for replacing a corrupt or inept regime but for establishing an independent state of Bangladesh. The concept of liberation war has been used in this study in the senseof an internal war between East and West Pakistan. The aims of this thesis are to explain why the Bengali military officers became actors in the Liberation War of 1971, how they were motivated for this war, when they took the crucial decision to revolt and declare independence of Bangladesh and how they proceeded till the formation of the Bangladesh Government-in-exile. The findings are also noteworthy. The Bengali political leaders prepared the people of East Pakistan for a revolutionary movement, but at the critical moment they faltered. As one of the dominant social forces in East Pakistan, the Bengali military officers watched from close quarters how the ethnically, linguistically and culturally different East Pakistanis were subjected to the discriminatory policies of the ruling elite in Pakistan which led to the wholesale alienation of the Bengalis.
