The credit therefore belonged to both.
		But how the Mukti Bahini guerillas, the phantom army of Bangladesh, were making unnerved the occupation forces is indeed a field still unexplored.
		In an unequal war of the magnitude, witnessed during our liberation struggle where, to start with, a ragtag Mukti Bahini was facing up to a Goliath shorn of compassion; a parallel can be drawn with Vietnam war the 30th anniversary of the end of which falls in the year 2005.
