yahya khan son

Power was not thrust upon Yahya. Perceptions of Yahya’s personality are still largely informed by views which accumulated when he went almost entirely silent after his removal in 1971. No leader came out as a winner but villains. Perhaps incompetence and naivety.The 'tensions' after 1970 general election were created by the establishment with the intention of not giving power to Mujib. Man of discussion is given importance on merit base.

He did not utter a single word about Bhutto Regime or even say anything about East Pakistan Debacle. A reality, which has not taken place in Pakistan, ever since.Yahya Khan was not as bad as has been portrayed in the record.

Hasan in his book further stated that Zia was looking for an excuse to entangle Bhutto in a trial and justify his arrest and that’s why he had instructed PTV to interview the reclusive former general.

Revisiting history for deconstruction is a healthy excercise to get perspective, same goes for beliefs too. The subject of macro history From khuldon to Toynbe teaches us this lesson As they say in America, " follow the money ".This just has to be one of the most objective and empathetic account of Yahya's rule.

So when you select weak and corrupt leaders its not hard to guess what the future of the country is going to be.Personally, i remember Yahya Khan's rule, the most liberal time ever in Pakistan generally and Karachi particularly, because those were our college days.

FYI, it would have been interesting for NFP to comment on Henry Kissinger who played quite a stealth role in the break up of East Pakistan. This is a serious narrative which has yet to be told.Kudos to Nadeem!

?Finally the truth- a gentleman and a soldier. 4-So how can we blame individuals like Yahya khan etc. Join Facebook to connect with Ali Yahya Khan and others you may know.

The problems started right from the beginning and we should had quit East Pakistan in 60's. After her espionage stint in Pakistan, pregnant Sehmat returned to India, where she gave birth to her son who went on to become an Indian Army Officer. Zia believed that Yahya would accuse Bhutto for the separation of East Pakistan and give Zia what he needed to slap a court case against the toppled PM. The historians may explore and get them published. @MAK Yahya khan can not be held responsible for the fall of East Pakistan as it was entirely handed over to Gen. Niazi for Indian air and sea blockade had cut Islamabad touch with East Pakistan. ""The colourful dictator who had become the harbinger of parliamentary democracy and provincial autonomy became an elusive, mythical villain who was never heard from again."" Vote to PTIEvery country gets the government it deserves, not the one it needs. History is not made of people but events that are shaped by the dialactical forces of opposition, sprouting from economic engines of humanity.

After his big gift to Pakistan of first fair democratic election, his mistake was to side with the leader of political party leader with 81 seats instead of Mujib, the leader of the party with 161 seats.
Certainly not the two clowns who had 100% dictatorial power for 13 years, but their peon or gardener or driver.....anyone but these two and the Army high command. Perhaps Mr. Bhutto had enough material to blackmail General Yahya. The Ayub regime which had fused together secularism, ‘modernist Islam’, capitalism and a complex strand of democracy (‘basic democracies’) had remained popular in its first six years (1958-65). If we like this, we should not be complaining against corruption, we deserve it. Yahya was responsible for most of the consequences that followed, though by and large many sectors loved to blame others somehow. Not to derailed by any individual by using State public servants, whatever uniform is worn by these employees or servants of the Islamic Republic of the Pakistan.What a powerful and accurate summation by Paracha Sahib.

On this topic what came to mind was...Ayub - disgraced, Yahya - disgraced and the person who was very prominent with both - ZAB. Who's responsible?

very nice.Answer: The guy who helped make east Pakistan to "Bangladesh" lolAll generals who come to power and bring martial law pose as saviors of the nation from the corrupt politicians. Bhutto became the new head of the state and government and quietly placed Yahya under house arrest, apparently ‘for his own protection.’ The house in which Yahya was placed was only thinly guarded by police.
I largely agree with both of you. …law administrator and president, General Agha Mohammad
