You know what I think? There is no official name for Bangladesh mass killing and massacre. See Greek genocide Assyrian genocide Armenian Genocide Bosnian genocide. all of them named after target ethnic groups and victims. Until 25th march 1971 the victims were known as pakistani Bengalis and from 26th march to 16th december some area were under provincial government and some area under Pakistani Occupation. Until 1978, the Constitution of Bangladesh referred all citizens of Bangladesh as Bangalis. And all Victims were eliminated for being Bengalis.

More importantly, in May 2003, a high court ruling in Bangladesh allowed 10 Biharis to obtain citizenship and voting rights. The ruling also exposed a generation gap amongst Biharis, with younger Biharis tending to be "elated" with the ruling, but with many older people feeling "despair at the enthusiasm" of the younger generation. Many Biharis now seek greater civil rights and citizenship in Bangladesh. On May 19, 2008 the Dhaka High court approved citizenship and voting rights for about 150,000 refugees who were minors at the time of Bangladesh's war of independence in 1971, and those who were born after would also gain the right to vote.

So shove it.
