product description:
Lieutenant Colonel Dalim is famous for his role in the 1975 coup against Sheikh Mujeeb ur Rehman. It is the ultimate tragedy of history that those who struggle against a state as part of an oppressed ethnic group , in the end seek sanctuary and asylum with their past perceived oppressors. Thus sons of leading Baloch freedom fighters and leading Baloch freedom fighters became Pakistani state assets in the end . Having finally discovered the bitter fact that the so called state that they perceived as oppressor was still better than their own ethnic compatriots. This is Colonel Dalims tragedy also. The style of the book is not ideal as it is based on paragraph headings and not chapters. Dalims style is highly personalized and the book is more a personal story or a personal account than a serious historic narrative. Since Colonel Dalim became a Pakistani asset , or one may state an intelligence asset , much of his narrative takes the official Pakistani line. Anti Indian , Anti Awami league etc . This is logical but not historically ideal. The book totally omits the fact that the great Bangladeshi freedom fighter Major Ziaur Rehman , who made the historic freedom announcement from radio Chittagong was not even an ethnic Bengali but a Bihari. Colonel Dalim finds the Indians as the source of all evil and thinks that the Mukti Bahini could have overthrown the Pakistani state and liberated Bangladesh without Indian Army help.Now this is a totally utopian assumption.Without Indian military intervention it was impossible to create Bangladesh and whether Bengalis like it or not , Indian state was the midwife without whose active help Bangladesh would have been a still born dead baby or a total abortion. The second irony of the fact is that while Dalim constantly finds fault with Awami League and Sheikh Haseena Wajid , the hard fact is that Haseena has doubled the Bangladeshi army in last 7 or ten years and significanty increased its perks and privileges. Dalims book or rants will find limited readership outside Pakistan where the book has been published. At the personal level it is an interesting account , but that is where its merits end.
