547 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড শিরোনাম - সংবাদপত্র তারিখ The Indian The Nation 8 October, 1971 Point of View Vol. 1 : No. 2 ΤΗΕ ΙΝΙΟΙΑΝ ΡΟΙΝΤ ΟF VΙΕW ΒΥΑΝΙΝΙΟΙΑΝ ΡΟLΙΤΙΟΙΑΝ East Bengal has emerged with the new name of Bangladesh as an independent sovereign republic. We offer our fraternal greetings to Sk. Mujibur Rahman and the people of Bangladesh for heroic and gallant fight against the militant totalitarianism of a Fascist Government. No language is strong enough to condemn the inhuman atrocities perpetrated on the unarmed people of Bangladesh, who are struggling for the establishment of democratic rights, rule of law and self-determination for over two decades.

If the military dictators do not come to their senses under world pressure and the civil war continues for an in definite period then the United Nations should intervene. With the end of the 2" World War, Fascism has eclipsed and the revival of it would be dangerous for the peace, prosperity, and tranquility of the entire world. We in India particularly those responsible for Governmental Administration here, I entirely agree, must make a cautious approach to the incidents on our Eastern borders. Much would depend to not only what we do, but also on the attitudes of other countries of the world. But we have to remember that in the interest of our territorial integrity and security of our border states like West Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya and Assam, we cannot remain unconcerned with these happenings. Moreover, the people of these states have a
