687 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড Bangladesh, leads one to imagine that armed resistance was not on the Awami League cards. The way many of the party leaders are reported to have been captured and shot dead do not show that they were prepared. It takes time for such a patty to get ready for armed struggle. Quite a few of the emissaries of the party crossing the borders betray their petty-bourgeois character: nationalism resembling communalism and lack of organization for popular armed resistance. Many of them talk to their own villagers in a lordly way and intensely distrust the communists who are fighting along with them the same enemy. They would not like anyone in Bangladesh not affiliated with the Awami League to get help from across the borders. In the absence of extensive and authentic reports from the war-raven country, it is not yet time to discern the pattern of resistance. Who are really giving the military junta a hell of a lime? There can't be a homogeneous picture but significant traits must lie emerging as days pass. And that must be the reason why the Big powers are watching the scene with restraint. They are waiting to see who eventually come out as the decisive factor. India has from the beginning been supporting Bangladesh because nothing would be more to her advantage than disintegrated Pakistan; and a Bangladesh under the control of the Awami League would be a double advantage.
