Today Bangladesh Calibrates Victory Day on Pakistan. On this day in 1971, the nation emerged as an independent country following a nine-month-long bloodstained War of Liberation against the Pakistani occupation forces.
This is the Day when Indian Army defeated Pakistani Army brutally and made them Surrender. General AAK Niazi, the Pakistani forces’ commanding commander, surrendered with his 93,000 soldiers of the Pakistan Armed Forces Eastern Command to Indian forces and Mukti Bahini, bringing the 9-month-long Bangladesh Liberation War, the 1971 Bangladesh genocide, and the official secession of East Pakistan into Bangladesh to an end.
India has a great contribution in Librating Bangladesh from the worst civil war and brutal genocide in Eastern Pakistan(Now Bangladesh), and Bangladesh acknowledges this contribution of India with Pride.
Even in the darkest days of the nine-month war waged by the proclamation of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s liberation struggle against a powerful enemy, the unwavering hope of the people to break the dictatorship paved the way.
Bangladesh Formerly Known as Eastern Pakistan right before independence was being brutally thrashed by Pakistani Forces.
Pakistani Army did a mass genocide in Eastern Pakistan along with brutal murders and rape on a large scale. Seeing this rebels groups and Bangladesh’s Mukti Bahini took the charge and took the help of Indian Army which ultimately destroyed the brutal actions of Pak forces and made them sit on knees in just few days.
Pakistan lost half of its nation, its eastern forces, and had to officially surrender to India on this day 47 years ago. After World War II, it was also the largest military surrender.
Pakistan launched air strikes on 11 Indian airbases to start the conflict. It was maybe the first time that India’s three military battled together.In response to the Pakistan Army’s actions in the west, India moved fast and took around 15,010 kilometres of Pakistani land.
