Well the status quo was maintained if you are going by the word I used, "finish". However at the end of hostilities we had captured more Pakistani land whereas Pakistan had captured mostly barren land, even after Pakistan had attacked first to do the same. Technically we had won.
Yes, PAF on Dec 3 engaged in a preemptive air strike which started the war.
As for East Pakistan, NO that was not the start of the 71 war. That was just us giving you the taste of your own medicine we only fueled the dissidents in East Pakistan the same way Pakistan had been doing since 1947 in Kashmir, only difference was we succeeded whereas you lot failed and have been failing even till today.
I know my history, it would do you better to learn the full and unedited history, rather than the edited version from your textbooks.
You are right, apparently you don't really get taxed for talking BS.
