APPEAL
To the Conscience of the World on the Agony of Bangladesh
From
Indian Thinkers and Writers
DEEPLY moved and shocked by the harrowing accounts coming from across the border, we raise our voice in anguish to express our sense of outrage at the crimes committed by a military junta against the defenseless people of West Bengal.
In the name of safeguarding the integrity of the state. The democratically elected majority has been outlawed by the fiat of a military dictatorship. But behind this cloak of legal and political casuistry lie the dead and the maimed in their thousands: not only the heroic freedom fighters of West Bengal but entire civilian population innocent women and children, University teachers and students, whose only crime was their desire to be equal partners in a free, democratic nation. It is our profound belief that the sacrifices they are making and the suffering that they endure will not be in vain.
Even in this age when conscience of mankind has been muted by the collapse of moral values, there are still countless men and women throughout the world cherish values that have ennobled man. We urge them to hear the strangled cry of the people of East Bengal. In the3 name of humanity, we appeal to them to join us in mobilising world opinion to compel the military rulers of West Pakistan to end this insensate carnage and respect the democratic rights of the people.
