They attacked the innocent people of the Bangladesh like hungry Hayna and killed thousand of people in one single night .

The reason why Pakistan threatened to kill over 400,000 Bengalis, because they felt they were superior to the Bengalis and felt that they were not at the same social class as the Pakistani. (Genocidebangldesh) In retaliation, the Bengalis threatened to kill Pakistan army officials who were arrested in Bangladesh during the genocide. The army officials that were captured by the Bangladesh government was prisoners of war during the genocide. Not only did the Pakistani threaten to kill the Bengalis nationalists that were stranded in West Pakistan, but the Islamic militant groups placed in Bangladesh during the genocide from the Pakistan army, created fear among the Hindu people. (Narain.Icpsnet) Groups such as the Al – Badr and Al – Shams, who slaughtered Hindus in the name of Islam, were never found guilty of their involvement during the genocide. However they created fear in the Bengali people. (Jahan 304) Bengali people feared that another genocide would occur again soon, with perpetrators of the Al – Badr and Al - Shams walking among them and never found guilty of their actions and involvement during the…

    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…

    The government advertises a civil war, by expressing hatred towards the ethnical minorities in Afghanistan, primarily the Hazara. Pashtuns are taught to hate the Hazara because of the history and slight religious difference the two people have, despite both being Afghans. As Amir’s curiosity about Hazaras grows, he thinks, “School textbooks barely mentioned them… I found one of my mother’s old history books… people called Hazaras mice eating, flat nosed, load carrying donkeys…”(10). The corrupt and biased government has erased the Hazara nation from the school textbooks, and curriculum. Both, Pashtun books and people don’t have pleasant to things to say about the Hazara; who by some aren’t even considered to be humans. When the new government took office in 1996, many people celebrated, but the Hazaras know their fate in Afghanistan. In a letter from Hassan, he writes, “We all celebrated in 1996 when the Taliban rolled in… Hassan in the kitchen. He had a sober look in his eyes… God help the Hazaras now… two years later they massacred the Hazaras in Mazar-I – Sharif”(224). When the Taliban came into power all the Pashtuns celebrated, they had false hope of an end to their problems. The Taliban eventually become the worst thing to have happened to Afghanistan.
