People ITT should read about the Bangladesh Liberation War which the man's father here fought in. Pakistani troops mass raped between 200,000 and 400,000 women and killed an estimated 300,000 to 3,000,000 people. And USA supported Pakistan.


> Indian troops invaded East Pakistan to help the Bengali rebels, forced the Pakistan military to surrender, and created the new nation of Bangladesh.

AFAICT OP’s father was on the side of the rebels, not the Pakistani troops you’re talking about right?


"Bengali rebels" aka the freedom fighters where helped greatly by the Indian forces. Yes, his father helped the freedom fighters.

Yes, America's involvement was pretty shameful, but the author's father was in the Indian army fighting against the genocidal Pakistani army.
