[edit] Edits
Some grammatical errors corrected. Some spelling errors corrected. Duplicate links removed. The only factual change is the removal of the word "dictatorships" as used to refer to Zia and Ershad's rules, and modification of the information centering around the recent conflicts.
[edit] History of Awami League
It was not founded as 'East Pakistan Awami League'. It was founded as 'Awami Muslim League' to distinct it from 'Muslim League' which was mostly dominated by ellite of that time. Later the word 'Muslim' was cut to make it more seculer and attract considerable hindu minority in East Pakistan. It was founded by 'Hussain Shaheed Soharwardi'. This is the reason 'Awami League' Hides it history if you don't believe do a search on their website no mention of any history of the party! [1]. and not surprisingly no mention of the Creator of the party on entire website [2]. Please for confirmation check [3]. I am entering the information in a way that it won't be offending for many people.

- Note: I am adding that AL was originally a breakaway faction of "All Pakistan Muslim League." However, AL claims that it wanted to represent all people not just Muslim, that's why dropped the word "Muslim." Please no politically motivated speech. Chronologically: "All Pakistan Muslim League" > "All Pakistan Awami Muslim League" > "All Pakistan Awami League" > "Awami League" > "Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League" > "Bangladesh Awami League." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] International affiliation
I'm not sure how any of these affiliations are justified. What links the Democratic Party of USA, Indian National Congress and the UK Labour Party? The ideologies of these parties are not quite the same. Unless any proof is provided, I'd prefer to remove all such "affiliations". --Ragib 18:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Note: It is really fishy: I don't think even AL claims these affiliations. However, all these parties help AL to some extent or other in real life but that can't be called "affiliation." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Restoring NPOV
"in the 18 democratic years"
History does not make distinction between democratic and undemocratic years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .
- Note: 1975-1990 democratic? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
"failed to some extent"
False statement. "The government failed". Please act like an adult. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .
- Note: Better try acting neutral. The UN predicted half-a-million death in 1972 alone, to start with. And consider the left over Pakistan lovers. Extreme communists. Jasod. Sorbohara. No one's claiming total success for the first AL government, but total failure? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
"As Bangladesh continued exporting jute to Egypt violating US economic sanction, the Nixon government barred food-grain supplies from reaching the country that Bangladesh had already paid for."
Requires citation of historic documents and references. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .
- Note: Please check Bengali or English books on 1972-1975 by any writer; if you like then ones by people opposing Mujib all the way.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
"mostly revolutionary communist elements"
False! All political opponents were targeted. And it was preceded by no insurgency. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .
- Note: Bangladesh did not have almost any right wing party at that time, and all the parties other than AL rallied behind Jasod. The Sorboharas were blowing police stations, district adminstrative offices, looting banks, killing MP's, demanding a communist state ruled by Jasod (Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal or National Socialist Party). What else to make it an insurgency? Also, the remnants and offsprings of the Sorbohara still exist in south-west, re-emerging after 2000 after a few years gap. They are still considered insurgents as capable of India's Naxals or Maoists to much extent. Please contradict me if you know better, but please don't if you just read about these. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
"massacre"
It does not qualify as massacre. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .
- Note: Well, as you define it. For some people killing two means massacre, for some 3 million is too little. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .
More changes are required to make this article objective. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .
- Note: Then why don't you make it objective rather than going blindly bashing anyone? History is about telling the truth not calculating who is to be blamed. Please help better the article than trying to politicise it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Sajib Wazed Joy
The paragraph regarding Joy seems irrelevant and based on speculation only. It should be removed.
