    Bangladesh refused to accept around 400,000 Biharis who were stranded in the country after the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan. The Biharis had supported Pakistan during the war and were now stateless, living in poor conditions in camps. Bangladesh did not consider the Biharis citizens and was unwilling to grant them citizenship or allow them to return to Pakistan.
