December 16 is a significant day for India and its neighbours Bangladesh and Pakistan. In 1971, India won the war against Pakistan that resulted in the birth of Bangladesh (then East Pakistan).


On this day 47 years ago, Pakistan lost half its country, its forces in the East, and had to publicly surrender to India. It was also the largest military surrender after World War II.

The war started when Pakistan launched air strikes on 11 Indian airbases. It was perhaps the first time in which India's all three forces fought in unison.

India quickly responded to Pakistan Army's movements in the west and captured around 15,010 kilometres of Pakistan territory.

The war ended after the chief of the Pakistani forces, General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, along with 93,000 troops, surrendered to the joint forces of Indian Army and Bangladesh's Mukti Bahini.

General A A K Niazi signed the Instrument of Surrender on 16 December 1971 in Dhaka, marking the formation of East Pakistan as the new nation of Bangladesh. Pakistan also lost half of its territory with the birth of Bangladesh.

The war lasted for just 13 days, and is one of the shortest wars in history.

The military confrontation between India and Pakistan occurred from 3 December 1971 to the fall of Dacca (Dhaka) on 16 December 1971.

The Indian Army brought Pakistani army to its knees, took 93,000 Pakistani prisoners and gave 75 million people of Bangladesh their independence.

Over 3,800 soldiers of India and Pakistan lost their lives in this war to end the genocide Pakistan had been conducting against the Bengali population of East Pakistan.

The conflict was a result of the Bangladesh Liberation war, when Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) was fighting to seek freedom from (West) Pakistan. In 1971, Pakistani Army began to commit the barbaric genocide on innocent Bengali population, particularly the minority Hindu population in East Pakistan.

As Pakistan’s atrocities increased, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi decided to take action against Pakistan at the same time give refuge to civilians from other side of the border.

She ordered Army Chief General Sam Manekshaw to launch offensive against Pakistan following which India launched a full-scale war against its neighbour.

It is estimated that between 300,000 and 3,000,000 civilians were killed in Bangladesh. Rape, torture, killings and conflicts followed due to which eight to ten million people fled the country to seek refuge in India.

Indira Gandhi was reluctant to launch a full-scale war against Pakistan as the country was already facing the burden due to the continous flow of refugees from East Pakistan and entering a war meant inviting more burden.

She also appealed to world leaders to intervene and pressurise Pakistan to stop its brutalities but India did not have much time and a quick response became necessary.

On December 6, she announced in Parliament that India had accorded recognition to the Bangladesh Government.

On August 2, 1972, India and Pakistan signed the Shimla Agreement under which the former agreed to release all the 93,000 Pakistani prisoners of war.

It's not victory. They took the advantage of political turmoil.

Against who?

Against who?

Muslims, it needed traitors in bengal supporting idolatrous enemies to achieve such a horrendous action

 

[Bengal71]

Muslims, it needed traitors in bengal supporting idolatrous enemies to achieve such a horrendous action

Those Muslims were not Pakistanis. Those Muslims were Mongols, Turko-Mongols, Afghans, Arabs etc. It sounded like from @Horus post that it was only one victory in thousand years against Pakistanis or the inhabitants of the lands that comprise Pakistan today. In reality, the score between India vs Pakistan is 1-0. The score between Bangladesh and Pakistan is also 1-0.

Bengalis scrificed immensely for creation of Pakistan in the name of La Ilaha Illallah by naively believing that the only thing that mattered was La Ilaha Illallah. Little did they know, their so called La Ilaha Illallah brothers back stabbed and betrayed them on the haram premises of racism. So the Bengalis sacrificed the second time and put the traitors in their place, by doing so also upheld the command of none other than the Prophet SAW:

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Support your brother whether he is an oppressor or is being oppressed.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, we help the one being oppressed but how do we help an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By seizing his hand.”

Sometimes Allah use righteous Mushrik to punish the jalim munafiq.

 

[YeBeWarned]

And later indra was killed by a Sikh .. and bangali traitor got his bullet by his own so called people , that is enough to give me joy even in this defeat .

And even later oppressors became a terrorist infested, bankrupt failed state while Bangladesh and India both prosper. Long live Bangladesh-India friendship.

Sometimes Allah use righteous Mushrik to punish the jalim munafiq.

And here are the traits of a munafiq

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The signs of a hypocrite are three, even if he fasts and prays and claims to be a Muslim: when he speaks he lies, when he gives a promise he breaks it, and when he is trusted he is treacherous.”

Narrated: Bukhari and Muslim

They did and continue to do all three, albeit I think majority of Pakistanis are not like this. Perhaps we got a small sample of scums in this forum, Allah SWT only knows.

They were muslim

Bengalis however were traitors, they sided with idolatry loving pagans to betray a muslim nation for ethnocentric nationalism

You condemn yourselves

Hahaha we become the first Muslim nuclear power , we throw back enemy 10 times larger , we brought a super power down to it's knees , we used to have Asians most advance satellite programs , we successfully defeated a full grown insurgency , we hosted millions of Afghan refugees , we are world 6th largest and among the top 15 armed forces ..and I can go on until your small machli country will run out of machli ..

And I wish you and your Bharat mata good luck and stronger friendship but you will always will remain a slave state of India .
