Is it the consensus to refer to the supression of Bengalis prior to the '71 War as genocide? I wouldn't have thought that it merited that label but am not an expert. Eluchil404 20:34, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I am not very happy with that particular sentence. It does not convey the meaning it is suppossed to convey. The war started as a last resort after the political situation in East Pakistan got out of control & the subsequent *genocide* that was carried out.. Perhaps the sentence needs to be reworded as ".. the dispute between the 2 nations started out after Pakistan made a heavy-handed crackdown on the supporters of autonomy in East-Pakistan. East Pakistan became a free sovereign country Bangladesh as a result of this war --Rev.bayes 23:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pro-Indian Bias

This article is not based on facts. There is a need to balance this article.

Here is an example:

"The Second Kashmir War again involved the issue of Kashmir with Pakistan infiltrating and starting a rebellion in Jammu and Kashmir" Maakhter 04:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pro-Paki Bias

Looks like the Paki army is not getting even a slap on the wrist for genocide in Bangladesh ('71). This article needs to be revamped to highlight and not tone it down in the name of "balance". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.1.170 (talk) 03:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The facts are:

Pakistan did indeed try to incite riots in Jammu and Kashmir but India used this as an excuse to attack Pakistan on all fronts and did not gain any significant battle victory other than the battle of Khemkharan. It suffered huge defeats in all other fronts.

[edit] Bias

I could not see a reason to flag this article as biased.

Although I am no expert on this subject, in casual reading I could see no bias and was not drawn to ither side of the argument that the article outlined. I am sure that those who have added comments about this bias, will be able to correct these errors if they see fit, however, this article seems to be reporting the facts of the war- obviously wars are had to report on, the sources of information are mainly biased in favour of the source's origin.

[edit] No action so far to balance this page

This page looks like a propaganda tool of Government of India. A serious effort should be made to fix this page.

Could you provide sourced information to balance the page? I would hope that this would not become another battleground in the India-Pakistan conflict. Furthermore, can you specifically tell us what is biased? From what I can see, India and Pakistan have fought four wars, and Pakistan has lost all four of them. (By the way, this has nothing to do with the courage of the Pakistani soldier or the superiority of the jawan; it might have to do in some cases with stronger forces, or better generalship). The cause of each war, of course, would be different from the point of view of each side.

It would be good to have a balanced, quick summary of the wars, with links to specific wars. Thank you. GABaker (talk) 14:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Has any Pakistani been charged for genocide?

Has any Pakistani been charged for genocide? What about the current relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh? The relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh are very friendly. If someone accuses Pakistan for genocide then why Bangladesh is so friendly with Pakistan, while no one has charged any Pakistani for genocide.

Has Bangladesh given up its allegation of genocide against Pakistan? If not then, why they are so friendly with Pakistan? Why Bangladesh does not want to chase its allegations of genocide against Pakistan?

The reason is that there was no genocide. It is Indian propaganda.

Made minor edits to the summary of conflicts. The short one liners made no sense and did not co-relate to the longer explainations in "origins of conflict"
