India Pakistan 1971 War | Why it happened? | Bangladesh Liberation

 



The 1971 India-Pakistan War was one of the most significant military conflicts in South Asia's post-independence history. The war, which was fought between India and Pakistan, was the result of the conflict between the two countries over the province of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The war lasted for a period of 13 days and resulted in India's victory and the creation of Bangladesh. The conflict between India and Pakistan began in 1947, when the British Empire partitioned the Indian subcontinent into two countries; India and Pakistan. The partition was based on religious lines, with the majority Muslim population residing in the newly created Pakistan, while the majority Hindu population residing in India. As a result, tensions between the two countries gradually increased, leading to the outbreak of war in 1971. The immediate cause of the war was the political crisis in East Pakistan. In 1970, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the leader of East Pakistan's Awami League, had won a landslide victory in the national elections. However, the government in West Pakistan refused to recognize the result and instead imposed martial law on East Pakistan. This led to civil unrest in East Pakistan and ultimately to a call for independence from India. In response, India supported the independence movement in East Pakistan, providing military support and launching a full-scale invasion of the country in December 1971. The Indian army quickly overwhelmed the Pakistan army, forcing them to surrender after just 13 days of fighting. The war resulted in the creation of the independent nation of Bangladesh and the end of Pakistani rule in the region. The 1971 India-Pakistan War was a watershed moment in the history of South Asia. The creation of Bangladesh through the victory of India marked the end of the domination of the region by a single nation and the beginning of a new era of regional cooperation and peace. The war was also a reminder of the importance of respecting the right of every nation to self-determination and of the need to prevent the abuse of power by any one state.
