1> The Khmer Rouge, or more formally, the Communist Party of Kampuchea, led by Pol Pot, Ta Mok and other leaders, organized the mass killing of ideologically suspect groups, ethnic minorities like the ethnic Vietnamese, Chinese (or Sino-Khmers), Chams and Thais, former civil servants, former government soldiers, Buddhist monks, secular intellectuals and professionals, and former city dwellers. Khmer Rouge cadres defeated in factional struggles were also liquidated in purges. The number of the victims is estimated at approximately 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975-1979, including deaths from slave labour.

we better accept both records if we have any interest in truth.No point in repeating the dictatorial regime's misdeeds.It would be lot better if people be realist truthful and democratically inclined do discuss such matters. It is regrettable that no mention of lives lost due to naxalites has been mentioned.For us in India the major issues of Islamic terrorism,naxalite& Maoists killings,caseism crimes and deaths due to poor traffic mainly roads shall be interesting statistics worth attention of policy makers and citizens alike
