Those Pakistani POWs had way less of a chance than the German Sixth Army in Stalingrad ... I don't know why India takes so much pride in encircling and forcing the surrender of an army which was completely isolated from Pakistan by well over 1000 miles. All Indian victories have been against completely isolated enemies, whether it be at Goa against Portugal in 1961 or Pakistan in Bangladesh in 1971. You guys can never defeat an enemy head on on even comparable terms, let alone superior terms.
90000 also included civil servants, their families, other civilians etc
The actual fighting force was much less than 50k fighting against enemy enjoying numerical superiority of around 1:10. Surrounded by enemy from all sides. And isolated from main land Pakistan by more than a thousand miles.
Some thing which isn't going to happen ever again and hence no such victories for bharat mata anymore
