I find it so strange that Pakistan and Bangladesh were a single nation before 1971. You can easily distinguish between a Pakistani and a Bangladeshi. 99% Bangladeshis are dark looking people while most of the Pakistanis are pale white looking. Bengali / Bangladeshi culture is also very different from Pakistani culture but still these two nations were a same nation until 1971.



There are very mixed feelings about Pakistan among Bangladeshis. As a Bangladeshi I can say that most Bangladeshis dislike Pakistan since Pakistani army killed and raped so many Bangladeshi civilians in 1971.Bangladeshi people are very emotional about the liberation war.



The relationship between these two nations is very cold due to past history. What should be done to improve the relation between these two nations? I don't think Bangladesh can have good relation with Pakistan until Pakistani govt. officially apologize for the inhumane crime the army did to civilians during liberation war.



Pakistan as a nation is seen mostly negative among people of Bangladesh. Only when cricket is concerned almost 90% people blindly support Pakistani cricket team. Only for one reason. Pakistani players are Muslims.



Why can't Pakistan govt. say sorry for 1971 war? When Hina Rabbani Khan was foreign minister she came to Bangladesh and said lets forget the past. When people read about her statement in newspaper they got so angry with this lady. If any bomb blast happen in Pakistan then BD people starts saying What a barbaric country Pakistan is! Every day there is news of bomb blasts. Muslims are killing Muslims. They did the same thing to us in the past. Allah will not forgive this nation."





I think some steps should be taken to improve the relationship between two nations. What kind of steps should be taken to have a cordial relationship between two nations? If Pakistani govt. officially say sorry for the past then it would be the biggest step for good relationship.



Cultural programs can be arranged also.
