Abstract

Never before seen in global history, on March 25, 1971, at midnight, a calculated, merciless act of genocide and slaughter was unveiled against the helpless people of Bangladesh without any prior notice. A military regime that was illegitimate from the beginning and lacked common sense committed this massacre. Everything that transpired in Bangladesh after the military takeover amounted to mass murder and genocide against people who were merely pleading with their fellow countrymen for their rightful compensation. The Pakistani army was eliminating any potential for Bengali leadership and demolishing Bangladesh's infrastructure, including its food supply, housing stockpiles, tea factories, jute mills, and natural gas fields. The New York Times, a well-known American daily newspaper, covered every event leading up to Bangladesh's independence movement and continued to do so after the crackdown on 25 March 1971. The newspaper attempted to depict an unfair war, humiliation, emotion, patriotism, and genocide in a number of essays. This article’s primary goal is to conduct in-depth, analytical study on the Pakistani army's killings of Bengalis and its response to The New York Times between 25 March 1971 and 30 April 1971.
