Who prepared the blueprint of Operation Searchlight?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Tikka Khan
- b Yahya Khan
- c Ayub Khan

Answer and explanation
Correct answer: a Tikka Khan
The book says Tikka Khan and Rao Forman Ali designed the 'Operation Searchlight' blueprint on 17 March.
Why the other options are wrong
- b Yahya Khan: The army attacked by Yahya Khan's order, but the blueprint was drawn by Tikka Khan and Rao Forman Ali.
- c Ayub Khan: Ayub Khan lost power in 1969; the 1971 blueprint was drawn by Tikka Khan and Rao Forman Ali.
- d Iskander Mirza: Iskander Mirza does not appear in this chapter; the blueprint was drawn by Tikka Khan and Rao Forman Ali.
