Taking a Look at the Bangladesh Genocides

In Rwanda during 1994 Genocide happened between the Hutus and Tutsis. Hutus and Tutsis had disagreements on who will have power which effected the whole population of Rwanda. This leads to the question why there is Genocide in Rwanda? Genocide happened by two clans who caused mass causalities. Others did little to help which caused Genocide to happen in Rwanda.

On April 9, 1946, Muslim League's Central and Provincial Legislators had requested through a determination that the six territories of Bengal and Assam in upper east and Punjab, N.W.F.P, Sindh and Baluchistan in the northwest be constituted into a sovereign and the autonomous condition of

N THE AUTUMN OF 1971 a man used to come to our house, bearing confections in his pocket and hopes of ascertaining the life or death of his family. His name was Mr. Pirzada, and he came from Dacca, now the capital of Bangladesh, but then a part of Pakistan. That year Pakistan was engaged in civil war. The eastern frontier, where Dacca was located, was fighting for autonomy from the ruling regime in the west. In March, Dacca had been invaded, torched and shelled by the Pakistani army. Teachers were dragged onto streets and shot, women dragged into barracks and raped. By the end of the summer, three hundred thousand people were said to have died. In Dacca Mr.

The eventual genocide was preceded by a number of events that angered the Bengali people, which would inspire some to take to nationalism and lead to government intervention. First, months after the creation of Pakistan, Urdu was declared the national language by the governor-general in 1948, despite the fact that only four percent of the population could speak it. As a result of negativity to the Western Bengali people, those who supported the use of Bengali received the label of a traitor, terrorist, and enemies of the state. In response to successive governments’ refusals to recognize Bengali as the second national language, the Bengali people created a language movement that soon became supported by the new Awami League, an alternative

Our system of excessive communication seems as though it should be an incredible asset in hindering genocides from occurring, yet they are still present and little seems to be said. Activists working to inform people about the issues occurring across the world are now able to make movies and websites that let others be informed, but you would be hard pressed to find an informative activist group with as many viewers as something such as facebook. When you do find places designed to inform you of present world issues such as genocide, they are often politically charged. A website such as “endgenocide.org” is a basic place to start when trying to learn about genocides occurring across the world now and in recent years. It has to be recognized, however, that the website is also incredibly politically charged because not only is it presenting you with the issues at hand, but it immediately follows it up with phrases such as “without immediate action by the United States” (endgenocide 2014) and other politically charged statements.

What is genocide? Is what some people want know. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. It happens everywhere all around the world. In my opinion I don 't agree with the acts of genocide. They were to harsh on those people who didn 't even deserve to be treated that way. The holocaust started in january 30, 1933. The president during the time was Adolf Hitler Chancellor of Germany. In march 20, 1933 a officers opened the Dachau concentration camp outside of Munich. The camp was help for people like jews to be tortured and it wasn 't any good thing about the concentration camp. The Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the National Socialist government. This camp was located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the northeastern part of the town of Dachau. During the first year the camp held about 4,800 prisoners. In the early 1937 the SS was using prisoner labor and began construction of a large complex of buildings on the grounds of the original camp. The prisoners were forced to do the work starting with the destruction of the old munitions factory. It was under terrible conditions. The construction was completed in mid August 1938 and camp wasn 't changed until 1945. The number of jewish prisoners at Dachau rose with the increased persecution of jews and on november 10 to 11, 1938 in the aftermath of Kristallnacht. There was more

Although genocide has been occurring for the last couple of decades, many people don’t know about it. Genocide is the deliberate killing of large amount of people or groups, especially in a particular ethnic group or nation. Many people disappeared, don’t come back, or their family don’t know what happened to them. Genocide has been occurring since 1945 probably even earlier. Genocide has occurred over than 75 different countries. Although there are 26 that are the major ones and the ones with the most people since the Holocaust. Some of the countries that it has occurred are in; Rwanda, Rouge Cambodia, and Darfur.

When you think of everyday life you think of the same simple routine you go thought in your everyday life. Get up, get ready for/ work school, head home, eat your dinner, and head to sleep only to get up and do the same exact thing for the rest of the week. This same thing could be considered the same as Nazi death/ work camps yet the routine being much more, harsh and spirit breaking than the normal every day vanilla lifestyle you live. Anything was better than death camps.

Have you ever faced an atrocity like war? Can we as a generation of young educated and free people be trusted to comprehend the magnitude of events such as the holocaust? Although we are reminded year after year of what occurred, and told of the horrors that took place we will never be able to actually experience them. Given that we can’t experience it how are we to fully digest it? Without having lived these events, the knowledge we receive is second hand in a sense. We don’t process it in the same way as those who were actually there. It’s a tricky subject, but it needs to be addressed. The holocaust is a topic we should continue to discuss. In continuing to have conversations about the holocaust we are taking preventative measures. As

Genocide, a dire event, has been recurring time and time again throughout history. In the past, there was the Holocaust, where Hitler exterminated over six million Jews based on his anti-semitic views. Elie Wiesel, a Jewish author, has become a very influential man in educating the world of the true events of the Holocaust due to his involvement in the disaster. Presently, a genocide is occurring in the Darfur region of southern Sudan, in which according to Cheryl Goldmark, “a systematic slaughter of non-Arab residents at the the hands of Arab militiamen called Janjaweed” has been taking place since 2003. (1) Not only is genocide a tragic historical event, it also continuously occurs today.

Genocide is a term that describes violent crimes against a specific group of people with the intention of absolute abolishment. On April 7th, 1994, one of the worst crimes against humanity was unleashed in Rwanda and in the following hundred days, almost one million Tutsi and moderate Hutus were heinously slaughtered. Scott Strauss, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, describes the horrors that occurred, revealing that "Over three months, government forces with militia and civilian assistance massacred at least 800,000 people in one of the worst human rights violations of the 1900’s” (Strauss 5). During the genocide, the majority of the Tutsi population were killed by the hands of the Hutus. Sadly, the Western world stood by, ignoring

Throughout the course of history, many countries have been the aggressor or victim in a fatal genocide. Genocides are the massacring of a large group because of their ethnic, national, racial, or religious group. There have even been cases where the disabled have even been punished as well as the elderly too. These types of mass murders occur due to the fact that a group is threatened, angered, or shows aggression towards another group. Although there are many genocides that are well known to the world such as the Holocaust, there are other killings such as the Armenian Genocide and the Bangladesh Genocide that people are never made aware of. By following the 8 Stages of Genocides, readers will be made aware of the atrocities that occured in

After the assault on the university, the military continued on to the countryside. Those who disagreed with the western Pakistani ideas concerning language, religion, and direction of the country would experience varying degrees of violence at the hands of the military junta. Upon entry, the junta would pillage and plunder the village houses and force the people out of their homes. Moreover, as a form of psychological terror, the military forced the people to line up in front of one another, proceeding to shoot down line after line in front of the remaining crowd. This technique was also used during the assault on the student dormitories. The mass murders had reached a point in which R.J. Rummel, author of Death by Government, goes as far to

Though a broadly used term, genocide did not exist before the terrors of the Holocaust. Afterwards, the United Nations decided to give it its present definition, a mass killing of a large group of people, usually of the sam religion, ethnicity, or race. In the process, they tried to extinguish all mass murders around the world, but still many acts of genocide were conducted, for example the genocide in Bangladesh. It began in 1971, in East Pakistan. The whole genocide began as an attempt to crush forces that were seeking freedom and independence for East Pakistan. West Pakistan released a campaign of mass murder to kill millions of Bengali. The Muslim Generals then decided that they wanted Pakistan to become pure, and they killed anyone who
