They Are Amiable And Kind-HeartedThe Nouka Baich is a Bengali boat racing competition which takes place during and after the rainy season when much of the land goes under water. The long canoes were referred to as khel nao (meaning playing boats) and the use of cymbals to accompany the singing was common. Different types of boats are used in different parts of Bengal. [22] Horse racing was patronised most notably by the Dighapatia Rajas in Natore, and their Chalanbeel Horse Races have continued to take place annually for centuries. To begin with, let’s consider the argument about the negative portrayal of Bengali women in Bihar’s cultural expressions, like music. Such portrayal can be better understood in the light of certain historical anxieties in modern Bihar that are far more recent than the ancient history with which the state’s glory is generally associated. By the second decade of the twentieth century, the anti-Bengali sentiment in Bihar had a more immediate cause for articulation. Interestingly, in the colonial period, Bihari men and women had found different reasons to resent Bengali men and women. Finding myself demonstrating how to make face masks to my friends through measuring tablespoons of flour and honey and teaspoons of turmeric and milk, has a way of making me feel tied to my roots and this experience is shared among my British Bangladeshi peers.

Jessica Lee Rehman calls rape in 1971 an instance of religious terrorism. She said "The Pakistan Army is an Islamic institution, its soldiers are warriors of God and ...they rape in God's name. Therefore the raping of girls and women, the forced bodily transgressions, and the mutilations are considered to be a triumph for good." [44] Bengalis were dehumanised and Bengali women were perceived as prostitutes inviting sex. They were thought to have Hindu features which deleted any thought for their "Muslim" status that might prevent a perpetrator's savage activities. Faisal, a Pakistani officer who had been in East Pakistan, portrays Bengali culture in terms of the differences between East and West Pakistani ladies, pushing the open discrimination against Bengali women: "The women bathe openly so that men walking by can see them, and they wear saris that with one pull fall off their body, like Indians. They are very attached to music, like Hindus, and they have their daughters dance for guests, they take pride in this dancing and music, like prostitutes. My daughter does not dance, neither does my wife. This music and dancing isn't Islamic. Our ladies are not prostitutes like Bengalis." [45] A Bengali Muslim lady Ferdousi Priyabhashini says the soldiers raping her said to her, "You are a Hindu! You are a spy," because she wore a sari and bindi. [46]

Rounaq Jahan alleges elements of racism in the Pakistan army, who he says considered the Bengalis "racially inferior—a non-martial and physically weak race", and has accused the army of using organised rape as a weapon of war. [36] [37] According to the political scientist R. J. Rummel, the Pakistani army looked upon the Bengalis as "subhuman" and that the Hindus were "as Jews to the Nazis, scum and vermin that best be exterminated". [38] This racism was then expressed in that the Bengalis, being inferior, must have their gene pool "fixed" through forcible impregnation. [39] Belén Martín Lucas has described the rapes as "ethnically motivated". [40] Pakistani Army actions [ edit ] Maleka Khan: ‘There was an air of disbelief about the whole thing.

Bangladeshi Wives Are Compliant And Respectful According to Peter Tomsen, a political scientist, Pakistan's secret service the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, in conjunction with the political party Jamaat-e-Islami, formed militias such as Al-Badr ("the moon") and the Al-Shams ("the sun") to conduct operations against the nationalist movement. [67] [68] These militias targeted non-combatants and committed rapes as well as other crimes. [69] Local collaborators known as Razakars also took part in the atrocities. The term has since become a pejorative akin to the western term " Judas".
