    Completing the Circle: Accountability for the Crimes of the 1971 Title Bangladesh War of Liberation Author(s) Linton, S Citation Criminal Law Forum, 2010, Volume 21, Number 2, p. 191-311 Issued Date 2010 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10722/124770 Rights Creative Commons: Attribution 3.0 Hong Kong License Criminal Law Forum Ó Springer 2010 DOI 10.1007/s10609-010-9119-8 SUZANNAH LINTON* COMPLETING THE CIRCLE: ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE CRIMES OF THE 1971 BANGLADESH WAR OF LIBERATION I INTRODUCTION There are many policy issues that need to be considered when a country and its people start to deal with horrors that are 39 years old. The trial process is a critical part of that, but it is not the only issue to deal with. It is essential for Bangladesh to develop a comprehensive, coherent and principled strategy for dealing with its past. It has not done that yet. The country is at a critical juncture, and it falls on the government to seize the opportunity to make the most of a process of accountability. Any trial process, especially of such a charged matter as the crimes of the liberation war, must meet international standards in order to have any legitimacy, honour the victims and provide some kind of redress to survivors. But that is not enough. After 38 years, the damage to the fabric of society is immense, and a properly conducted trial process opens a window of opportunity to repair some of the harm. The gov- ernment must respond appropriately. My purpose in this paper is not to address the important wider issues of how Bangladesh should deal with the legacies of its past.

  • Denying the Denial: Reappraisal of 'Genocide' in East Pakistan1
    Artha-Journal of Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 16, No. 4, 1-24 ISSN 0975-329X|https://doi: 10.12724/ajss.43.1 Denying the Denial: Reappraisal of ‘Genocide’ in East Pakistan1 Husnain Iqbal* Abstract The conflict in erstwhile East Pakistan, especially during 1970-1, was one of the bloodiest and most contested in the post-WWII era. While Bangladesh has always called it genocide, Pakistan has always denied both the intent and the scale of killings. This paper argues that the struggle of East Pakistanis to form their own country was reduced to a civic-political demand and not an ethnic-based claim to distinct nationalism. Revisiting Bangladesh‟s claims of genocide based on primary and archival material, this paper posits that the violence unleashed in former East Pakistan amounted to the systematic wiping out of the ethnic distinctiveness of its people through ideological, economic, political and military means. This paper contends that the recognition of the massacre in former East Pakistan during its Liberation Struggle as genocide is not only ethically demanded, but this recognition also demands a qualitative widening of the existing legal understanding of genocide. Keywords: Genocide, Bangladesh Liberation War, East Pakistan, War crimes, Ethnic cleansing * Forman Christian College (Lahore) and South Asian University, New Delhi, India; [email protected] 1 Artha-Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.16, No. 4 ISSN 0975-329X Introduction In 1971, one of the bloodiest conflicts of post-Second World War era occurred in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. According to different sources, anywhere from 26000 to 3000000 East Pakistanis became victims of atrocities committed by the Pakistani military and paramilitary.

  • Chapter-V -C Education
    Sarkar 124 Chapter-V -C Education I Before the coming of the British, a popular, indigenous system of education was running in India. As in other parts of the country the education in the district of Maida during pre-colonial period was also confined to the small schools called pathsalas, muktabs, and tolls. The modes of teaching of those institutions were primitive and clumsy. Hamilton gives a detailed description of the education system of the district before the coming of the English. According to him, the elementary education of the children's used to be imparted in the village pathsalas. The teachers were known as gurus. The teachers were paid by the students and entirely depended upon them for their livelihood. The average number of students or scholars did not exceed 12, and the fees were 1 to 4 annas. The children usually go to schools at the age of five years and are instructed to read and write which seems to be an excellent method. 1 So far as the content of learning is concerned, generally agricultural accounts, commercial accounts and some vernacular works were taught in local I regional languages. For example initially they started their education with tracing letters on the flour with a pencil. After five or six months they could read and write. They were then taught the basics of arithmetic. Arithmetic were partly divided into two parts one for agricultural purpose and other. for commercial affairs. The vernacular works and the medium of instruction were Bengali. For the Hindu students who wished for higher education had to attend chatuspathis which were locally known as choublmis under the guidance of Adhyapakas.

  • Antiquarian Relics of Islamic Section of the Varendra Research Museum: a Methodical Study
    http://www.bmri.org.uk Antiquarian Relics of Islamic Section of The Varendra Research Museum: A Methodical Study Dr. A K M Yaqub Ali* Back-drop: Rajshahi as a divisional town of Bangladesh has a rich cultural heritage. Being situated in the Varendra the district of Rajshahi has got numerous archaeological sites and valuable artifacts scattered all her greater territorial expanse from the time of yore. There is no denying the fact that the Varendra as a rich Janapada demarcated on the west by the Ganges- Mahananda, on the east by the Karatoya, on the south by Padma and on north by Tarai and Duar`s Jungle witnessed the rise and fall of the various dynastic rules from very ancient time. Hence the remnants of so many civilizations could be noticed over the vast tract of land in the form of archaeological sites and excavated places. The Varendra Research Museum as a rich repository of the artifacts and antiquarian relics of the Varendra region stands with much dignity in the central position of Rajshahi city. It was founded by the direct initiative of the Varendra Research Society composed of the elites of Rajshahi in 1910 C.E. Though not accidental but the birth of the Varendra Research Museum occurred in a dramatic way. In 1909 Rama Prasad Chand read a paper entitled “Archaeological heritage of Rajshahi" in the Vangiya Literary Conference held at Rajshahi. In next year (1910) the Conference of Vangiya Sahitiya Parisad was held at Bhagalpur in which Kumar Sarat Kumar Roy, Akhaya Kumar Maitra and Rama Prasad Chand participated.
