East Pakistan Genocide - 1971

The people here may have Muslim names and call themselves Muslims. But they are Hindu at heart. We are now sorting them out... Those who are left will be real Muslims."

Ninety thousand Pakistani soldiers and civilians became prisoners of war—they remained in India until 1973—and Pakistan lost its most populous province. Defeat shocked many West Pakistanis, who had come to believe that one brave Muslim soldier equalled ten Hindu ones. From then on, shame and humiliation drove Pakistan’s military and intelligence establishment to seek “strategic depth” in Afghanistan and a policy of “death by a thousand cuts” in Indian-ruled Kashmir. " So, it's this humiliation that is behind the rage that Pakistan has towards India (=Hindus).

Finding Someone Not Guilty
Was the judge forced to find the accused guilty and he did what he thought was right and then shot himself?
Or was he forced to find the accused not guilty and he couldn't live with what he had done?
Or maybe he was sick of his life and the shooting had nothing to do with the case?
