I think this article has too much information that is already in other articles, namely about the politics surrounding the formation of Bangladesh, the article should focus on General Aurora and link to other articles for the superflous information. DigiBullet 17:48, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
Its true 90,000 pakistanis were captured but only about 45,000 were troops, others were civil workers. Not many people know this.
I know nothing about General Singh Aurora and very little about the events surrounding the 1971 conflict between India and Pakistan. However, this article seems to be discussing the general as a great national hero and definitely does not seem to be written from a neutral point of view. We need to have someone on the Pakistani side to balance this out. — DanMS 21:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
His last name is Aurora? Isn't that an unusual last name? Why that name, were his ancestors astronomers or something? -- AW 17:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Answer: No the surname Aurora is an Indian caste found mainly in Hinduisim and Sikhi (which Gen. Aurora is,) to break it down basically they are considered traditionally to be Business Men/Merchants but as being a Sikh the idea of Caste was "offially" rejected under the belief that everyone is equal under god (un-offically people usually are still based on caste) having said that Gen. Aurora seemed to have taken up a traditionally un-othodox profession having a militrary life, but then again Sikhs have had a tradition of joining the militrary (a key example is Sikhs make 2% of India's population, but out of the 29 Infantry Regiments 2 regiments are dedicated only to Sikhs [the Sikh Regiment & the Sikh Light Infantry)]and government positions. Hope that answers the question and any followup questions.
Of course, what really matters for our purpose is which spelling the general himself preferred. Looking around, everywhere he's mentioned, the two spellings are found jumbled together. The one indication I've been able to find is from the most famous moment in his life, the 1971 instrument of surrender. He signed his name as "Jagjit Singh," but left off his last name. However, the typist of that document spelled it "Aurora" under the general's signature, and apparently he didn't object to it. That means we probably can't just delete the u out of hand. To sum it all up: I just don't know what to make of this question! All I know is that this Wikipedia article needs to include both spellings for completeness's sake, and ideally a section ought to be added explaining why there are two spellings in use, if anyone can be found who can explain it.
