History has forgotten it. I doubt many people in the United States can even remember what happened. At the time, you guys were Pakistan's primary ally, and the Eastern Block was arming India and denouncing the genocide. But once the war was over, no one but the Bengali cared. Whether people will get away with the invasion of a sovereign country or genocide depends only on the balance of power and the politics of the day. The Serbs did not do anything worse in the 90s than what the Pakistani did in the 70s. But Miloshevich died in jail, while the Pakistani murderers get high government posts. The morale? Pick your friends wisely. I will never understand guys that spout stuff like “History has not forgotten the atrocities…” History has forgotten it.
