696 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড indignation at the Pakistani Military Government's utter lack of respect for precious human lives of our people. Indiana University maintains program of co-operation with both the Punjab University in West Pakistan (Education) and Dacca University (Business Administration). I urge you Mr. President to prevail on the members of the Board of Trustees and also the other officers and Deans of the Indiana University to suspend officially all kinds of cooperation with the Punjub University for an indefinite period with immediate effect as a mark of your strong protest and revulsion against the West Pakistani Mi Iitary junta's most heinous barbarity. Please make sure that not a single West Pakistani scholar or official in the ruthless government gets any scholarship or grant from your University this year. Suspension of co-operation with Dacca University does not arise for obvious reasons. It is a pity as well as shocking that the U. S. State Department called these current unfortunate events and happenings in Bangladesh as "internal matters" of Pakistan Perhaps I shall do justice to myself in thinking that Hitler's "final solution of the Jewish problem" inside Germany was indeed Nazi Germany's "internal matters" too? I suppose there is no Bengali student at your University at present. I felt that when silence becomes shameful one has to speak out, and hence my sending this letter to you. With my personal regards and best wishes. Yours sincerely, (Abul H. Saadudin) Teaching Assistant, Institute of Ethnomusicology U. C. L. A.
