“[…] During the day I and others gave him (Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) the full picture of the war. I explained that no accurate figure of the casualties was available but our estimate, based on information from various sources, was that up to three lakh (300,000) died in the conflict. To my surprise and horror he told David Frost later that three millions of my people were killed by the Pakistanis. Whether he mistranslated lakh as million or his confused state of mind was responsible I dont know, but many Bangladeshis still believe a figure of three million is unrealistic and incredible.” — Serajur Rahman, former deputy head, BBC Bengali Service
