EMINENT VICTIMS
The Pakistani military junta and their collaborators targeted the entire Bengali Hindu population of East Pakistan for extermination and expulsion. Accordingly, the leading members of the Bengali Hindu society were individually targeted. Yet, many others were just summarily executed in groups. The following is a partial list of eminent victims of the genocide.
