According to the Economist, the 'near-genocide' occurred in the 1970s!

The Dhaka Times Desk The influential London magazine The Economist has once again made a controversial comment about the 1970s in Bangladesh. Economist said about the 'genocide' of 1971, 'almost-genocide' happened in 1971!

This influential London magazine The Economist at various times, especially in Bangladesh in the 1970s, did not want to fully accept the massacres committed by the Pakistani invading forces as genocide. Various comments have been made on this issue time and again. In its latest revision published yesterday, the paper used the term 'near-genocide' in reference to the 1971 war. This issue is going to give birth to a new debate. Because in the judgment of the international tribunal formed to try the current war criminals of Bangladesh, the brutality of 1971 has been clearly mentioned as 'genocide'. Genocide charges against those who have been punished so far have also been proven in court. On such a touchy subject, The Economist is once again going to play a controversial role by using the term 'Near Genocide'.

The report sent from Delhi was titled, 'Pakistan in Turmoil, Unleashing the Mob.' According to the report, "The military controlled politics directly for half of the time the country was founded and for the rest of the time from behind the scenes." Then the newspaper also wrote, 'It involved in a near-genocide that led to the cession of Bangladesh.' (They engaged in a 'near-genocide', and that led to the isolation of Bangladesh).

Why is The Economist hesitant to accept the most brutal 'genocide' in the history of the 1971 independence war of Bangladesh as genocide or 'genocide' according to international law? Such questions are coming to everyone's mind. Earlier too, The Economist tried to take the trial of the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh in a different field. The citizens of this country think that this is a repetition of such an incident.
