How strong human desire is to absolve himself from the chaos that cause suffering to other human beings. How strong that desire is to come clean out of everything and be seen as victorious by coming generations. I have read, A. R. Siddiqui, Siddiq Salik, Z. A. Bhutto and now A. K. Niazi on the subject that has long been forgotten in Pakistan. How easy it is, for everyone to reflect about this misfortune in isolation. No one talks about the treatment of Bengalis since 1947. Grievances that were caused – both political and economic. Everyone starts the episode from the elections of 1970. Bhutto would blame failure of military regime, politically and operationally for secession of Decca. Siddiq Salik would put this blame conveniently on Niazi for the atrocities committed during the civil war and the message accepting the surrender. Niazi puts his blame outright on Yahya and Bhutto for their political views and the way tried to alter the historic narrative by favoring other generals. This book is Niazi’s effort to come out clean from the allegations that were surfaced. He conveniently does not talk about the allegations of rape, plunder, massacre and brutal punishments that were inflicted by Pakistan’s army on pro-Bangladesh. He only talks about how he was clean, and how and why Bhutto and Yahya had already planned to divorce East Pakistan without any successor Government. It is interesting part of the history where everyone thinks he was clean and was deceived by other persons. This cannot be read is isolation but the complete episode should be viewed in its entirety from 1947 till a decade after secession to see who were the actual beneficiaries. But no one in Pakistan is willing to go at that length, because it will then be a blasphemy – a political blasphemy.
