The assassination of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975. Why India failed to defend his life?
I returned to Chakrata, India during the last week of January 1972 after the successful conclusion of Operation Eagle that initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh with military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. During February 1972, I had the opportunity to take part in the training of a National Security Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) whose mission was very clear from the beginning. There was an utter sense of urgency and earnestness to defend the personal life of Bangabandhu Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as our intelligence information discovered a plot getting brewed by a few Bangladesh Army Officers who were not satisfied with Bangabandhu’s vision for a modern, democratic nation of Bangladesh.
In February 1972, the training of the National Defence Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) commenced in Establishment 22, near Chakrata. I have direct personal insight of the training of Mujib Bahini before the 1971 War and of JRB in 1972 after the War.

The Spirit of a Jew – The Birth of Bangladesh
While Major General Jacob was the Chief of Staff at the Eastern Army Headquarters, the only other Jew in the Liberation War of Bangladesh was the Adjutant of my Unit.The Adjutant, Captain.Kottayam Chacko Kurien is a Kerala Jew. The Jews of Kerala were the first members of Jewish community to arrive in India and their migration dates back to the biblical times,starting with the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and even the earlier period of their Babylonian Exile.There is evidence to prove that there was a Jewish community in India prior to the arrival of Saint Thomas in 52 A.D.Since I had participated in the 1971 War without my personal weapon, Captain Kurien was also assigned the responsibility of defending me. He took that task with a sense of cheer and true to his spirit of a Jew, he had solemnly announced that I would be the last person to get killed (by the enemy) in my Unit and had assured me that I should have no concerns for being unarmed.
