- PHOTO TAKEN 21NOV01 - Some of Bangladesh's Bihari refugees line up outside the Dhaka offices of the Stranded Pakistanis Youth Repatriation Movement to sign a petition declaring their desire to stay in the country and gain Bangladesh citizenship. A three-decade long campaign by Bangladesh's poverty-stricken Bihari refugees to find a home in Pakistan is facing a fresh challenge, many among the new generation, such as these women, don't want to got to an unfamiliar land. The Biharis found themselves stateless after East Pakistan seceded in 1971 abd became independent Bangladesh. Picture taken November 21, 2001.
