Totally biased. I wonder from where they bring this false claim of genocide. It was a mess on religious factor, but no way was a genocide. This article doesn't meet the neutrality and a vulgar approach to Bangladesh.

1964 Bangladesh was nor form, so it is not to vulgar approach to Bangladesh. If you thick is is bias, re-write it in WP:NPOV- Jayanta Nath ^{(Talk|Contrb)} 06:51, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Salam, It's a matter of great concern that this article in Wikipedia which pretty bit points finger to the then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh's religious tolerance is totally biased from my point of view and who am I? I myself is Bangladeshi. Reasons are 1.All the sources are Kolkata based which were much funded to perpetrate a political and religious instability in the then East Pakistan. 2.This article seriously fails to meet the Bangladeshi, the then East Pakistan's opinions. 3. After all, none of Bangladeshi religious communities consider the religious instability as genocide.

The overall purpose of my writing here is this article has been used as one of the issues to fuel a Xenophobic & regrettable condition in Bangladesh against Indian Bengali people's mentality. So please I hope you understand the fact as Bengali. Best of luck.

Please don't add prod. This is well source article. You concert will not accept for deletion. You are most welcome to add POV of East Pakistan. - Jayanta Nath ^{(Talk|Contrb)} 19:22, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kali Prasad Mukhopadhyay is not a scholar but a journalist.
The lone review of the work says:
The author, journalist K P Mukhopadhyay, makes virtually no pretense here of presenting a truly scholarly text; rather, the content of this volume comes across as a personal quest which at times borders upon sentiment which is highly charged, and is in my view anti-Muslim and anti-Bangladeshi in my opinion...
This is a text in which the Hindus of South Asia are, in virtually every instance, innocent of any wrongdoing, seemingly gaining little in the partitioning of the land which, as presented here at least, only served Muslim interests. Further, the Hindus are repeatedly the victims of bloodthirsty Muslim hoards who would stop at nothing to attack them and brutalize them at will, carrying out unspeakable acts which the author dwells upon and repeats - riots, murder, looting of Hindu temples, arson, rape, evisceration, and all with apparent government compliance - again and again throughout the text...
