Ambassador (Retd.) Dr. Akbar Ahmed, former Pakistani High Commissioner to the UK & Ireland and distinguished scholar, joins Book Café Podcast to share his deeply personal reflections on the 1971 Pakistan Civil War (Bangladesh Liberation War).
In this conversation, Dr. Ahmed recalls what he witnessed as a young Pakistani Civil Servant during one of the most painful and defining moments in South Asian history.
We explore:
• His firsthand memories of the 1971 crisis
• The human cost of war
• What diplomats knew — and what they didn’t
• How 1971 shaped his views on identity, Pakistan, and Bangladesh
• His reflections on reconciliation and healing
This is a rare historical perspective from a senior diplomat who lived through the events and later dedicated his career to scholarship, bridge-building, and interfaith understanding.
