Who is Tikka Khan, was also known as the butcher of Bangladesh… he massacred 7000 people in…

History has many rulers whose name only sends chills down anyone’s spine. This includes many names like Genghis Khan, Halaku, Taimurlang, Hitler. But today we will talk about a man who killed seven thousand people in a single night. Due to his act, he was called the ‘Butcher of Bangladesh’.

The name of this person is ‘Tikka Khan’, who has also been the General of the Pakistani Army and the first Army Chief. Tikka Khan was born on February 10, 1915 in Rawalpindi. Tikka Khan joined the British Indian Army in 1935. After partition, Tikka Khan went to Pakistan and became a Major in the Army there.

After Yahya Khan became the President of Pakistan in 1969, Tikka Khan was sent to East Pakistan (Bangladesh). Tikka Khan’s responsibility in East Pakistan was to suppress the demand for a separate country and the rebellion that was rising here. As soon as he arrived here, Tikka Khan started military action, which was named ‘Operation Searchlight’.

According to the report, Tikka Khan, while taking action to suppress the rebellion, killed 7000 people in Dhaka in one night. This included children, old people and women. After this incident, Time magazine called Tikka Khan the ‘Butcher of Bangladesh’.

Robert Paine has also written a book on the genocide in Bangladesh. In this book, it is told that in 1971, the state of barbarism was at its peak in Bangladesh. Here, two lakh women and girls were raped in just 9 months.

Despite all the allegations and the world’s condemnation of this incident, Tikka Khan’s status in the Pakistani army continued to rise. He received several promotions and on March 3, 1972, Tikka Khan was made the first Army Chief of Pakistan. Tikka Khan died on March 20, 2002.
