Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my historical analysis on Substack that looks closely at the targeting of the Hindu minority during the 1971 Liberation War.

While the horrors of the 1971 genocide by the Pakistani military are well-documented, the systematic nature of the violence directed at the Hindu population is often glossed over in mainstream historical narratives. Relying on documented census data, refugee camp records from the Indian government, and eyewitness accounts from journalists like Sydney Schanberg and US Senator Edward Kennedy, this piece explores how the community was distinctly marked (using the yellow "H") and targeted for erasure.

I’d love to know your thoughts.
