There is overwhelming evidence that Hindus were slaughtered and their houses and villages destroyed simply because they were Hindus. The oft repeated phrase ' Hindus are enemies of the state ' as a justification for the killing does not gainsay the intent to commit genocide; rather does it confirm the intention. The Nazis regarded the Jews as enemies of the state and killed them as such. In our view there is a strong prima facie case that the crime of genocide was committed against the group comprising the Hindu population of East Bengal.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=The+Review&rft.pages=34&rft.pub=International+Commission+of+Jurists&rft.date=1972-06&rft.aulast=MacDermot&rft.aufirst=Niall&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icj.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F07%2FICJ-Review-8-1972-eng.pdf&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABangladesh+genocide" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-8"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-8">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://hir.harvard.edu/the-past-has-yet-to-leave-the-present-genocide-in-bangladesh/">"The Past has yet to Leave the Present: Genocide in Bangladesh"</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/Harvard_International_Review" title="Harvard International Review">Harvard International Review</a></i>. 1 February 2023. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230630102543/https://hir.harvard.edu/the-past-has-yet-to-leave-the-present-genocide-in-bangladesh/">Archived</a> from the original on 30 June 2023<span class="reference-accessdate">.

Still, he thought, genocide was the right description for what was happening to the Hindus. So the consulate "began to focus our 'genocidal' reporting on the Hindus." The military crackdown, he cabled, "fully meets criteria of term 'genocide.'"49 Over and over, Blood tried to alarm his superiors in Washington. "'Genocide' applies fully to naked, calculated and widespread selection of Hindus for special treatment," he wrote. "From outset various members of American community have witnessed either burning down of Hindu villages, Hindu enclaves in Dacca and shooting of Hindus attempting [to] escape carnage, or have witnessed after-effects which [are] visible throughout Dacca today. Gunning down of Professor Dev of Dacca University philosophy department is one graphic example."50 He explained that the Pakistani military evidently did not "make distinctions between Indians and Pakistan Hindus, treating both as enemies." Such anti-Hindu sentiments were lingering and widespread, Blood wrote. He and his staff tenaciously kept up their reporting of anti-Hindu atrocities, telling how the Pakistan army would move into a village, ask where the Hindus lived, and then kill the Hindu men."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEBass2013a120-12"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBass2013a120_12-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFBass2013a">Bass 2013a</a>, p. 120:"Desaix Myers remembers, “We were aware the Hindu markets had been attacked. The villages that we visited were Hindu. We were aware that Hindus specically were being attacked.” In a letter at the time, he wrote, “The Army continues to check, lifting lungis [a kind of sarong worn by Bengalis], checking circumcision, demanding recitation of Muslim prayers. Hindus flee or are shot." He recalls that on one trip out of Dacca, "I was convinced I saw people wearing pieces of cloth identifying themselves as Hindus." Butcher says, “You heard stories of men having to pull down their lungis. If they were circumcised, they were let go. If they were not, they were killed. It was singling out the Hindus for especially bad treatment, burning Hindu villages, it was like a pogrom. It was ridding the province of these people.""</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEBass2013a302-13"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBass2013a302_13-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFBass2013a">Bass 2013a</a>, p. 302:"The CIA had a blunt explanation for this "incredible" migration: "many if not most of the Hindus fled for fear of their lives." Lieutenant General Tikka Khan, Yahya’s military governor, evidently thought he could quickly frighten the Bengalis into submission. The Pakistan army, the CIA noted, seemed to have singled out Hindus as targets. Although the CIA refrained from crying genocide, it did insist this was an ethnic campaign, with 80 percent—or possibly even 90 percent— of the refugees being Hindus. So far, out of eight million refugees, over six million were Hindus, and many more might follow—ending perhaps only when East Pakistan had no more Hindus left.... This was confirmed by Sydney Schanberg of the New York Times, who, interviewing refugees in India, found that almost all of them were Hindus, who said that they were still specially hounded by the Pakistan army."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTESiddiqi1998208-14"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTESiddiqi1998208_14-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFSiddiqi1998">Siddiqi 1998</a>, p. 208.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTED'Costa2011108-15"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTED'Costa2011108_15-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTED'Costa2011108_15-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTED'Costa2011108_15-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTED'Costa2011108_15-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFD'Costa2011">D'Costa 2011</a>, p. 108.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Siddiqi1998p208-209-16"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Siddiqi1998p208-209_16-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFSiddiqi1998">Siddiqi 1998</a>, pp. 208–209: "Sometime during the war, a fatwa originating in West Pakistan labeled Bengali freedom fighters 'Hindus' and declared that 'the wealth and women' to be secured by warfare with them could be treated as the booty of war.
