Makalkandi massacre
Makalkandi massacre ((ベンガル語:মাকালকান্দি হত্যাকান্ড)) was a massacre of the Hindus of Makalkandi village under Habiganj Sub-division of undivided Sylhet district by the Pakistani occupation army on 18 August 1971.
== Background ==
Makalkandi village is located in the Baniachang Upazila of Habiganj District of Sylhet Division in present day Bangladesh. In 1971, Habiganj was a sub-division under Sylhet district and Baniachang was the largest village in Asia. To the north west of Baniachang is a ''haor'' encompassing a landmass 7 miles from north to south and 5 miles in east west, comprising an area of approximately 35 square miles. Within the landmass lay the village of Makalkandi, a Hindu village with a population of around 1,500. Though it had one only primary school, the literacy rate was as high as 35%. There were doctors, engineers and professors from this village. It was an economically prosperous village. There was not a single thatched hut in the village.〔
During the Liberation War, the residents of Makalkandi felt themselves safe in their village which was surrounded on all the sides by the ''haor'' acting as a natural fortification. Therefore they did not leave for India. Even local M.P.A. Gopal Krishna Maharatna sent his family to Makalkandi for safety. Many Hindus from the neighbouring villages also took refuge in Makalkandi. However, Syed Fazlul Haque of Baniachang village joined the Razakars and collaborated with the Pakistani army. On 17 August a meeting was held between the Pakistani army and the collaborators, where Haque instigated the Pakistani occupation army to attack Makalkandi.〔
