TRIBUTES AND MEMORIALS

ISPaD: The Indian Subcontinent Partition Documentation Center has collected a large number of tributes and memorials through their field work, travel and through others sources. Among them are memorials of innocent Bangladeshis killed by the Army of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and its Bengali- and Urdu-speaking Islamist supporters during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Bangladeshis have done a good job in paying tribute to their martyrs compared to post-independence India and Pakistan. Their effort is ongoing.

Here is a small selection of those memorials and tributes.
