Kissinger was awarded the NPP in 73. Bangladesh Liberation War happened in 71.
Kissinger's support of Pakistan was a direct processor to and some would say the enabler of the atrocities committed during the Bangladesh Liberation War. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger#1971_India.E2.80.93Pakistan_War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger#1971_India.E2.8...)
Some would say that this was due to real-politic, but its entirely reasonable to suggest that this was due to Kissinger's personal hatred of Indira Gandhi(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger#cite_note-33 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger#cite_note-33)
More than a million civilians were killed and more than 30 million civilians were displaced during this genocide.

Kissinger's support to the Pakistan Army was in spite of the US's own officials aware of and dissenting to the policy.

All this was well known when Mr. Kissinger was awarded the prize. That award was unreasonable.
