The Battle of The Hill should not be confused for "The Battle of Hilli" which was inarguably the most savagely fought battle of the Indo-Pak War of 1971. As observed by the then Army Commander, Eastern Command, Lt Gen JS Arora, PVSM, “Hilli was the bloodiest battle in the then East Pakistan”.

Putin is a hardcore old school cold war KGB man.

He is never going to forgive Pakistan.

Sorry. No idea about the specifics of the above. I was a few months old infant then.

Interesting. The two names are almost similar and both bloody battles. I'm sure @Vsdoc @Saif @Bilal9 @Sharma Ji @Lulldapull @Old School @ThunderCat @TheNewb77 @Mb444 @Vikings @LeonBlack08 @VCheng Would have some input.

Battle of Hilli - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Although the bloody battle could not be won without the bloodletting and sacrifice by the Mukti Bahini, an overwhelmingly large part of whom went unrecognized in the annals and records of the Indian Army, the Mukti Bahini commander rejected his award.

This undermining of Bangladeshi freedom fighters is typical of Indian Army historical records of that whole war, who falsely claimed it as their "victory" against Pakistan, undermining the contribution of Mukti Bahini Militias and various former EPR units and various East Bengal Regimental units. 1st East Bengal Regiment - Wikipedia.

Major Quazi Nuruzzaman was awarded Bir Uttom, the second-highest award for individual gallantry in Bangladesh, but he rejected it as thousands of Mukti Bahini volunteers, though achieving shaheed status - did not receive any recognition by either Mujib's govt. or the Indians.

Random, don't hold me to it lol

but I think I knew a lady who was house hunting for him in Dilli, this is way back in the day.. Ghar mil bhi gaya, was in a reasonably "posh" area.. very cluttered area despite the posh status... skorti was insane

in Dilli, quote some years ago now.. he musta moved to the US or something now.

We used to be one country with East Pakistan, now called Bangladesh. Our foolish military junta tried to strong arm the poor Bengali people into becoming like us in West Pakistan, adopt our culture/ language/ customs etc, but it backfired spectacularly! It came to a head around 1969 or so where the Bangladeshi's told us to fukk off!

India supported the rebels hard-core, just like the CIA/ Mossad did in Syria/ Libya/ Iraq today and India ran Bangladesh as a colony for the last 50 years.

So now, like I always ask the resident Indian fellas here......who masterminded the recent Bangladesh regime change?

Who?

And how it has spectacularly backfired on them no? after all these years.
