Ă propos de ce livre
Back in 1924 U.S. Secretary of the State Charles Hughes stated: " Foreign Policies are not built upon abstractions. They are the results of national interest arising from some immediate exigency or standing out vividly in historical perspective" Canadian policy towards the Liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971 was not an isolated issue rather it was the product of its well-defined national interest. Against the backdrop of the outbreak of the Civil war and Pakistan army's wanton genocide in former East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) Canadian Government observed studied silence and followed a policy of non-interference in the internal matters of other state. At this point Canadian government refused to take any public position and was totally reluctant to involve in this kind of civil conflict. The government of Canada also perceived that pious declaration against war would not achieve any thing.
