71 war remained unknown event for larger part of our nation' s historyI agree that the '71 victory is over-encashed by us and we should lay it to rest.
Average Indian was not aware of this war, considering it barely received any attention
Prior to internet era, only 4 Bollywood movies were made on 1971 war (compare this to how many Hollywood has made on WW2/Vietnam etc)
I am myself was unware of it until reading about it in Wikipedia
71 war got dug up by general Indian masses after internet era and the videos of Pakistan's surrender and defeat in Longewala became viral
Personally I think given all the salt from Pakistanis here, any references 1971 war should be hidden by Indians and even more hidden when a foreign official associated to a military visits us
It paints a very poor picture of subcontinent's martial capability considering even spear wielding tribal resisted a technologically advanced civilization for much longer than the opponents in this war
Anglo-Zulu War
