In addition to those who courageously attempted to block arms shipments to Pakistan, there was also a small number of informed Americans, including Senator Ted Kennedy, who threw their political weight behind the Bangladesh cause  eventually persuading the Nixon Administration to change US policy. Bangladeshis today recognize and honour these individuals.   The Nixon-Kissinger tilt in favour of the

India sacrificed so much of its resources/people to free "Bangladesh" from Pakistan.  Inaccurate story telling... very sad ... it just makes a god story for those who do not know the history Cant believe “India” is not mentioned even once?
