The 1965 India-Pakistan War: How East Bengal Watched from the Sidelines
Om avsnittet
In 1965, India and Pakistan went to war over Kashmir, but the conflict unfolded almost entirely on the western front. For East Pakistan, this was a strange, anxious time: the central government in West Pakistan neglected the eastern wing's defense, leaving it virtually unprotected. This episode explores how the 1965 war deepened Bengali alienation, exposed the military imbalance between East and West Pakistan, and set the stage for later demands for autonomy. Lucas and Luna discuss the Ayub regime's priorities, the role of the US and China, and the quiet anger that simmered in Dhaka as the war passed them by.
