497 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড The people who fled from the country and have taken shelter in India, tells a sad story of human misery. Many have died of cholera, many from exhaustion of long long walk. A million children are faced with death due to mal-nutrition. The otherside of the story is encouraging. The youths of Bangladesh with their firm faith, grim determination, unflinching obedience, undeterred resoluteness are gradually hitting hard on the occupation forces. The guerilla activities and commando actions of the men of Bangladesh liberation forces have by this time wondered the world. Thousands and thousands of youths are enrolling themselves in the liberation forces. The youth Camps are humming with determined and resolute men of all sections and of ages between 15 to 50, the grasp of things at so short a time, understanding of logistics, the rapidity and accuracy and boldness during action have earned praise and wonder for them. The words Mukti Bahini are terror to the enemies. The enemies have suffered at least 40,000 in death including a long list of their officers. Rail and road transports are battered, rivers have become most unsafe, Chittagong, Chalna, Mangla Ports are out of commission after the blasting and sinking of foreign and Pakistani ships. Jute, hide and skin, and tea are not there for export, mills and factories are closed, attendance in offices in towns are mere apology, office works are merely ‘made to order’. Educational institutions is dead, in spite of the loud claim of military regime of “normal life.” Only the action of Mukti Bahini breaks the lull. People's hopes and aspirations are with the Mukti Bahini. The Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra (Radio Bangladesh) inspires, the Mukti Bahini activities embolden the people. With courage, fortitude and determination the people are facing all atrocities, all cruelties, all odds, because, they believe they are fighting for the truth. They are fighting for liberty, equality, fraternity. Many words have been uttered, volumes have been written, concern and sympathy have been expressed, much tears have been shed by the people of the world but rulers have remained cold. Thus the world today at its height of achievements, is again bewildered with the problem of the “Ruler and the Ruled”. The philanthropists, the intellectuals, the educationists, the literature, the artists, the physicians, the politicians and statesmen, at the prick of conscience when they find a nation bleed at the fury of the barbarous' hordes, have urged upon the governments of the world to save the humanity. Dr. N. Hirschhorm, Dr. R. A. Cash, Dr. W. E. Woodword of U. S. public health service wrote: “...when will the U. S. ever learn that an immoral real politik always lead leads to destruction, despair and death?” James Nicholas, Welland, Ont say: “Why have civilized governments granted generous military aid to West Pakistani, while being niggardly in their economic aid to the refugees in India? Why do some people in the West stage an uproar when animals are not treated humanely and are yet so silent when in the East 6 million of their fellow human beings are agonizing in misery?”
