There was no war between Bangladesh and Pakistan in 1971 since there was no Bangladesh at this time. The formal declaration of war happened between India and Pakistan in which Pakistan was defeated. Pakistani army signed instrument of surrender to Indian Army and Pakistani soldiers were taken POW by the Indian Army. Pakistani PM of that time then met the Indian PM and signed the Simla Agreement. I guess that makes it allright for India to celebrate this as the victory day. Bangladesh probably should term it more as a independence day or foundation day. Victory day is fine too thoughMy point is not that.
The article says Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year to commemorate India's victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war that led to the creation of Bangladesh.
Don't you think it should be Bangladesh's victory over Pakistan?
