Main nay Dhaka dobtay dailha - Writer : Brigadier Siddique Salik

 

This book is the Urdu translation of the original book "Witness To Surrender" by Siddique Salik, who was a public relations officer in Pakistan Army in 1970s. He remained in the East-Pakistan (Now Bangladesh) from 1970 to December 1971 till the end of 1971 war. He spent two years in Indian custody with thousands of other Pakistanis as a war prisoner.This is a really good book about the history of the separation of East Pakistan which is full of shocking stories of brutality and hate through which West Pakistanis, Loyal Bangelis and Pakistani army goes through. In this book, Mr. Salik explains his own observations and experiences about the separation of East-Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh. He talks about the reasons, facts, enemies, mistakes, hates of people towards army, Muktibani, political instability, foreign interference, hypocrisy, and many other factors which paved the way for the creation of Bangladesh. The whole story depicts the army point of view in a beautiful way about the separation of East Pakistan and the dreadful time through which Pakistan army and its people passed through. The separation story is very difficult to digest but there is no other way rather than to accept it.
