The term Razakar is originally derived from an Arabic word meaning volunteer. In the context of Islamic history Razakars were volunteers to defend or support Islam. But in Bangladeshi context Razakar means traitors or collaborators of the Paki army who helped them, in our liberation war in 1971, in identifying and killing millions of Bangalees involved in or even supporting the liberation war. The Razakars were mainly the members of Muslim league, Jamat-e-Islam and other Islamic groups and factions. During the liberation war the razakars:
a) provided intelligence against the freedom fighters, the supporters and sympathizers of the war
b) abducted, arrested and eventually killed them with the help of the Paki troops and party cadres in various army, concentration camps and killings zones
c) burnt their houses and looted their properties
d) kidnapped thousands of Bangalee women and trafficked them to various Paki military camps
e) raped and molested 450, 000 Bangalee women.
