I agree with this, I have never seen even the most jingoistic Pak denying or justifying it (seen plenty who obfuscate though). I have seen plenty of ppl - usually woke diaspora who get info off Awami League pamphlets - ignore, justify, or whitewash Mukti crimes of similar scale https://twitter.com/aghaahmedullah/status/1343089729739354112

even though its scale is chronically exaggerated by Awami loyalists (plenty of English and Bengali lit on this), it is indefensibly true that in 1971 Pak troops committed mass slaughter, rape, torture etc against Bengalis and with a special but not exclusive aim at Hindus

It is also true that Mukti - who were however less centralized etc - committed torture, rape, murder on an explicitly ethnic basis against non-Bengalis, expelling Biharis after their win. rarely brought up even though it was an early and very successful case of ethnic cleansing

w/ever this- or fact that 3 million people very blatantly were NOT killed(actual number in 1000s is bad enough) or that both sides committed atrocities even if Pak did more - is brought up, somebody/other will raise"Pak nationalist" strawman that simply does not exist in any size

When Pakistan nationalists talk about 1971, they either equivocate or they claim that Bangladesh revolt was an entirely Indian concoction (which is equally daft, its imprisoned leader Mujibur-Rahman was Indian vassal but most of revolt was not as subsequent events showed)

condemn Pakistan's crimes of 1971 at your leisure. But make sure it's actual crimes (which were huge enough) not some party propaganda written after fact (disproven repeatedly ESPECIALLY by Bangladeshis themselves) to justify ONE Bangladeshi party's assaults ON OTHER BANGLADESHIS

I've written about this repeatedly, there is ample literature in English/Bengali (I haven't read latter obvs) that proves Pakistan's war crimes, the revolt's war crimes, & subsequent Awami League revisionism in order to elevate place vis-a-vis other Bangladeshis & continues today

rec reading: Yasmin Saikia's "Women, War, & Making of Bangladesh"; Rizwanullah Shahab's book (I forget name); Muntassiruddin Mamoon (Awami loyalist BUT studied subject)'s backs-and-forths with Pak officers, which eloquently sum up the argument e.g. here http://etongbtong.blogspot.com/2010/03/interview-of-major-general-rao-farman.html

http://Londoni.co.uk  is a great website by Bangladeshi historians on their history at large, covers 1971 war in considerable focus. Mahmud Ali's "Understanding Bangladesh" is a good snapshot history, and Caf Dowlah's book describes the turbulent 1970s well incl. war impact

Sharmila Bose's Dead Reckoning is another one, and there's some really good work by a British Bangladeshi professor whose name escapes me. None of them is remotely pro-Pakistan, nor should they be, but nor are they selective exaggerateurs
