Aftermath: Revelation
Only on returning to Pakistan as a prisoner of war did Niazi criticize Tikka Khan and Rao Farman. Niazi admitted that he had raised the Razakar forces that were used against the Bengali Mukti Bahini guerilla forces and to kill and terrorize people and destroy rural villages. Pakistan combat forces found themselves involved in a guerrilla war with the Mukti Bahini under Bangladeshi General M. A. G. Osmani. The Pakistan forces were unprepared and untrained for such warfare. After a preemptive strike on the Indian territories in the western front, a full-scale invasion of East Pakistan by India resulted in Niazi's and Shariff's forces being isolated and ambushed by the Mukti Bahini and forced to surrender.

Famous quotes containing the word revelation:
“They threw off their clothes, and he gathered her to him, and found her, found the pure lambent reality of her for ever invisible flesh. Quenched, inhuman, his fingers upon her unrevealed nudity were the fingers of silence upon silence, the body of mysterious night upon the body of mysterious night, the night masculine and feminine, never to be seen with the eye, or known with the mind, only known as a palpable revelation of living otherness.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
