On November 21, 1971, by the time all Bangladesh Forces had severely under-cut the strength of the West Pakistani Forces, under a complicated politico-military deal, a demand of the Government of India was conceded to by the Bangladesh Government-in-exile in Calcutta, India. The Bangladesh Armed Forces handed over the full command and authority of its operations to the Indian armed forces to command the war. The Pakistani army on December 16, 1971 surrendered itself to the Indian army.

In that light I would like to point out are we looking to uphold facts or merely counting name mentioning. And also Ragib I would like to add, every article on Bangladesh on your page has serious mistakes, from start to finish. You claim yourself to be an upholder of correct information on Bangladesh, I applaud your effort, nevertheless, are you sure you are getting the correct information. I hope your sources are not from books like "A Tale Of Millions". Please kindly, share with me, so I do not continue to "mess up", as you so eloquently put it. --User:Muraad Kahn But Ofcourse. And I have tried a number of times, but in vain. My own web page will be available pretty soon. My sources that I have gathered, from the last thirty five years, what, where and how, I can discuss at another time. You are most welcome to use it as a source if you prefer, and re-edit your own work. Thanks for your offer though. Yet I shall try to edit, to the effect where I can uphold correct information. Rest is up to you. I shall rearrange and re edit the sector commander section. And please for Almighty's sake I urge you as a Bangladeshi Bengali, please, try not to associate Kader Siddiqui and Hemayet with gazetted Force and Sector Commanders, freedom fighters and martyred intellectuals. If you have to, i earnestly urge you do it in separate page with a Fancy Title of your own choosing. In reference to "unbiased", I uphold my previous message, and needless to say, you are free to create anything in anyway. Whether my site can be used or not in any shape way or form is for you to decide. Please refrain from premature announcements. Bearing in mind this is your portal, I have removed, to the best of my recollection my contributions to your site. I shall cease to do so as of this moment. I know you do not agree to my changings, and term them freely as "biased" "personally opinionated", "vandalised" "polemical", and attack me with warnings, which you are entitiled to, quite obviously. And since you have been extremely clear about this, I confidently feel the there is an aura of twisted facts that are to your own taste and agenda regarding the facts, history, war and overall Bangladesh. You sent me warnings, angry comments about explaining to you already published proven facts. I would love to, but I just don't have the time. I wanted to through contributions, but the result turned out just like our Liberation War story. About your question in clarifying the book on "A Tale of Millions", is just one another book, among a thousand others, which are, I shamefully point out, Hemayet and Kaderia Bahini standard. Not a single true or full account of correct facts, right or wrong in nature. I surely believe, you either have been deprived of the facts, or "whatever else maybe". Regardless, I would appreciate you do not respond to this message. And good luck.
