When partition of British Raj happened, Britain gave us Sylhetis a choice through Sylhet Referendum. We could choose to remain in india or we could join in Pakistan. We choose to join in Pakistan.
.
My forefathers chanted "Kaan me Biri, Mu me Paan, Lar ke lenge Pakistan" on Sylhet Referendum to inspire Sylhetis to vote for Pakistan.
.
Unfortunately, West Pakistani's racism against East Pakistani Bengalis, hindutva p@jeet plus bangu bastard p@jeet nexus made sure purpose built Muslim safe Haven Pakistan fails.
.
Anyways, we should look forward for a fruitful Bangladesh - Pakistan relationship. We have a common existential threat...

71 and the events that led to it were deplorable, but perhaps inevitable in the sense of autonomy would have eventually come even if peacefully.

However, the Pakistan movement is as much an event and owned by every Bangladeshi as much as those in Pakistan.

The leaders, the passion and people created it. So it is impossible to seperate it from both history and in some way emotionally.

Yes, generational distances may occur but then they may not because the same generations that carry the wounds are not the ones now leading the countries.

Nations and populations change who they are - and it usually helps when other than the gash of killing - while horrible - there is much less in dispute between the two.

On 8th January 1964, a group of 42 students from East Pakistan set out from the (P.A.F) School (Sargodha) by bus for Rawalpindi. From there, they traveled to Peshawar by train, arriving at 9:00 PM. They stayed at the P.A.F. Station.
The following morning, they toured Peshawar city and its surrounding areas.

Afterwards, they visited the famous Khyber Pass, which they found extremely thrilling. On the morning of 10th January, they left Peshawar for Risalpur. There, they visited the P.A.F. College and were overwhelmed by seeing various types of aircraft and training equipment.

On 11th January, they traveled to Abbottabad and Kakul, where they had the opportunity to tour the Pakistan Military Academy (P.M.A.). On 12th January, they returned to Rawalpindi and visited important landmarks there.

On the morning of 13th January, they departed from Rawalpindi by bus for the Murree hills. The students were delighted to see the snowfall there. Finally, on 14th January, they returned to Sargodha. Throughout the trip, the students were accompanied by teachers Mr. Noor Mohammad and Mr. I. U. Khan.
