Razakars (Pakistan)
The Razakar (Bengali: রাজাকার; Urdu: رضا کار, literally "volunteer") was the paramilitary force organized by the Pakistan Army in East Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.
Since the 1971 war, it has become a pejorative term in Bangladesh due to the many suspected acts of violence which the Razakars committed and/or facilitated during the war. The Razakar force was composed of mostly pro-Pakistan Bengalis and Urdu-speaking migrants who lived in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) at the time.
