The Pakistan Genocide involved East and West Pakistan. East Pakistan known as present-day Bangladesh fell victim to Ethnic Cleansing by West Pakistan, a solely Muslim area in Pakistan. The Bengali people were killed in masses because they had non-muslim values. The Bengali Genocide had three-phase that took place.
1. Operation Search Light
2. Search and Destroy
3. Scorched Earth]]> 2021-02-02 20:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aswright29/p8yy0wso6sggdr63/wish/1155825341 aswright29 https://padlet.com/aswright29/p8yy0wso6sggdr63/wish/1155849013 The reason behind the genocide was because West Pakistan which was a majority Muslim area wanted to rid of all the Non-Muslim values and people. They called East Pakistan "a low-lying land of low-lying people” who they thought polluted Pakistan.

What was the prejudice?
That people who were not Muslims were inhumane or a waste of space just because they didn't follow the same traditions Muslims did.

What type of ethnic cleansing or genocide was this?
This event is labeled as genocide but I would definitely say it's a combination of genocide and crime against humanity because women were abducted and raped.]]> 2021-02-02 20:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aswright29/p8yy0wso6sggdr63/wish/1155849013 aswright29 https://padlet.com/aswright29/p8yy0wso6sggdr63/wish/1155908419 The governments role in the genocide started in the beginning when the West got economical advantages and aid over the East because West Pakistan was in the political center.

During the 2nd phase, the Pakistan Army started to slaughter villages. This became the longest phase during the genocide because Bengali began to fight back.

Like thousands of other people in East Bengal, he had made the mistake - the fatal mistake - of running within sight of a Pakistani patrol. He was 24 years old, a slight man surrounded by soldiers. He was trembling because he was about to be shot," written by Anthony Mascarenhas 

"He told me that if he couldn't write the story of what he'd seen he'd never be able to write another word again." - Anthony Mascarenhas 

“Twenty-two of us would lie like corpses in that room,” says Maleka a woman who was kidnapped and held in the rape camps. She was one of the few that we're able to live long enough to be released from the camps. Maleka's sister was not as lucky she could not bear the pain anymore and died in the camp before release. To hear more about Maleka's story watch the Rising Silence Movie.
