India wasn't architect of Bangladesh: former RAW deputy chief
Monday, 6 August 2007
The former deputy chief of India's external intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing, better known as RAW, says that India was not the architect of an independent Bangladesh. "India's role was more of a facilitator than a creator. It was a war jointly won by India and the people of East Pakistan," writes B Raman, one of India's best-known spies, in his new book. The Kaoboys of RAW, Raman's new book that has hit the stands this week, gives enormous credit to the people of the then East Pakistan for the creation of Bangladesh.
