1971 : a people's history from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India
By: Zakaria, Anam.
Publisher: India Vintage (Penguin Random House) 2019Description: xviii,402p.ISBN: 9780670090129.DDC classification: 954.92051 Summary: The year 1971 exists everywhere in Bangladesh-on its roads, in sculptures, in its museums and oral history projects, in its curriculum, in people's homes and their stories, and in political discourse. It marks the birth of the nation, it's liberation. More than 1000 miles away, in Pakistan too, 1971 marks a watershed moment, its memories sitting uncomfortably in public imagination. It is remembered as the 'Fall of Dacca', the dismemberment of Pakistan or the third Indo-Pak war. In India, 1971 represents something else-the story of humanitarian intervention, of triumph and valour that paved the way for India's rise as a military power, the beginning of its journey to becoming a regional superpower.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
