  In 1971, United States President Richard Nixon turned a blind eye to atrocities in then East Pakistan, ignoring alerts from Indira Gandhi's government and the US diplomatic corps in Dhaka.

Washington recently declassified secret archives from that era, giving the world an opportunity to discover what transpired in the White House during those momentous weeks when India and Pakistan went to war.

rediff.com discovers how Nixon and his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger went to extraordinary lengths to isolate India and keep Pakistan's generals happy.

Part 1: 'Selective Genocide'
