Remembering #ChukNagarMassacre of 1971.
50 years ago this week, about 10,000 #Bengalis, mostly #Hindus, fleeing the #Pakistanis & their #Islamist collaborators, were herded into Chuknagar & 2 surrounding villages of Khulna #Bangladesh by the #PakistanArmy. Then murdered en-masse.

Sundari was a 3 month old infant found between the 10,000 dead bodies in the #Chuknagar killing field, crying and trying to suckle on her dead mother’s breast. She is the only person who survived the #PakistanArmy firing, and was later adopted and raised by a local Hindu couple.
In this 50th year of the #BangladeshGenocide, it is important that we officially honor the victims and prosecute the hundreds of #Pakistani war criminals who never faced justice for 5 decades and travel freely around the world.
