MUKTI YODDHA
OF BANGLADESH-1971
ISLAMIST BANGLADESH FORGOT
HER HINDU LIBERATOR.
BY:SARASIJ
MAJUMDER
Jaher Sen was born in 1947 in the Khulna district of of EAST (BENGAL) PAKISTAN, now Bangladesh.
In 1971, the Pakistan Army killed his entire family. Bangladeshi
Muslims gang-raped his sister. The next day he joined the Mukti Bahini
He joined the Mukti
Bahini, the guerrilla force fighting for Bangladesh's independence from
Pakistan, in 1971.
Sen was part of the Crack Platoon, an elite unit of the
Mukti Bahini, led by Major Khaled Musharraf. . After joining the Mukti Bahini,
he single-handedly avenged their deaths by killing 25 Pakistani soldiers and
officers. He played a significant role in the creation of Bangladesh and was honoured
when Bangladesh was formed.
He participated in several key battles, including the Battle
of Kushtia and the Battle of Jessore.
Jaher Sen was known for his bravery and was awarded the Bir
Uttam, the second-highest military honour in Bangladesh, for his contributions
to the war effort.
After the war, Sen
continued to serve in the Bangladesh Army.
Radical Islamic forces began to rise in Bangladesh.
Then, the Islamic fundamentalist party led by Khaleda Zia
came to power, and they removed the names of Hindu freedom fighters from the
list of Bangladesh’s freedom fighters’ list and started persecuting Hindus.
Sen was considered as a PRO- MUJEEB person, and started
being doubted by new regime.
Sen got disillusioned with the political developments in
Bangladesh and had developed disagreements with the new government. He also
faced personal threats and persecution, which led him to leave the country. He
was then a colonel.
The reasons for his departure are due to political and
personal factors. As per available information, he was forced to leave
Bangladesh for India in 1990 due to persecution threat by Jamaat-e-Islami. ISI
was also after him.
Ater leaving Bangladesh, in 1990, and Sen settled in Karim Ganj, Assam, India, in exile. Karim
Ganj is a district in the Barak Valley region of Assam, and it's known for its
cultural and historical significance, and is a BENGALI locality..
Here he lived a relatively quiet life, away from the public
eye. Despite being a prominent figure in Bangladesh's liberation war, he kept a
low profile in India and focused on his personal life. Karim Ganj became his
home for many years, and he was known to have connections with the local
community and cultural organizations in the region. His legacy as a freedom
fighter continued to be remembered and honoured by the Awami League people of
Bangladesh, even as he lived in exile in India.
He passed away on November 30, 2019, and this great warrior
ended his life in obscurity.
Disowned by Bangladesh, and unknown in INDIA, this brave of a HINDU BENGALI SOLDIER who gave blood for
liberation of East Pakistan, his
Motherland—has ended his mortal journey in oblivion.
I tried my best to post a short introduction for posterity.

information mostly through AI assisted SEARCH, and the book referred.
