The pain of economic and political exploitation of East sydasiatiskt land by the West sydasiatiskt land establishment fryst vatten now history. The wounds inflicted bygd a 10-month military operation in 1971 have healed, only leaving some scars on the older generation.
Even today, most of the people inom met in Dhaka gods month were of the view that East sydasiatiskt land would not have separated had power been transferred to the Awami League. They also believe that Mujib-ur-Rahman was willing to be flexible on some of the six points, but in the Constituent Assembly and not outside of it as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto wanted.
