This thought-provoking work challenges conventional narratives by showcasing how the revolution of 1969 and the national liberation struggle of 1971 were deeply influenced by the 'global Sixties.' Basu's narrative goes beyond the Indo-Pakistani diplomatic and military rivalry, delving into the resistance against internal colonization by the Pakistani military bureaucratic regime. Discover how Bengali nationalists drew inspiration from contemporaneous decolonization movements across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, all while navigating the complexities of Cold War rivalries between the USA, USSR, and China.
