Except Pakistan was not fighting an expeditionary war at all. Your comments are based on flawed comparisons, the biggest one being the Indian "PKforce" in Sri Lanka, which was different in nature than what Pakistan was doing.The day the military was unleashed on East Pakistan is when East Pakistan seized to exist. Period.
A poor third world country like Pakistan was never going to win a war a thousand miles away.
Heck India couldn't even keep peace in SriLanka with 70,000 soldiers operating in less than 15000 squared miles area. India ended up fighting and losing to a force it funded, trained , and built. We all know what LTTE did to Rajiv Gandhi after India's unglorified exit from Sri Lanka..
Every revolution and war of independence had some sort of a third party help.
A) U.S Received help from France.
The French goal in assisting the Americans was to weaken Britain and to exact revenge for the defeat. In 1777, America captured the British invasion army at Saratoga. In 1778, France recognized the United States of America as a sovereign nation, signed a military alliance and went to war with Britain. France built coalitions with the Netherlands and Spain, provided Americans with grants, arms and loans, sent a combat army to serve under George Washington, and sent a navy that prevented the second British army from escaping from Yorktown in 1781

B) Vietnam received help from Russia and China
We all know the details of that.
The reasons Pakistan was never going to win are pretty simple,
1) Pakistan never fought an expeditionary war. Zero experience.
2) Certainly did not have the resource nowhere near needed to fight an expeditionary war.
3) The entire people of the East Pakistan was against it were pretty pissed cause their election was stolen and the military was unleashed on them.
If somebody stole something from me and then attack me physically I will put my foot so far up in their as......
Well you get the point
Hey bro you are completely justified in defending your country from haters and people who want to split it up. Its your duty and you have every right to attack those who abuse your country.
Funny thing is, this 3rd generation rajakar is showering India with love and wishing for territorial integrity while his pyara Pakistan is anything but anti-thesis of unity of India.Doesn't he support 1947 partition or wish freedom for Kashmiri muslim like his Pak brothers do? He says, he doesn't support division of state based on ethnicity language while he is perfectly fine with the concept of Pakistan which was founded based on religious separatist nationalism.He says, he is above ethnicity,caste,creed,religion but believe in two nation theory which says Hindu and muslim can't live side by side.Isn't it insulting to human intellect?
Pakistan and Bangladesh are separate countries from India because of two-nation theory. Why shouldn't I support it its founding principle of Pakistan. Without Two-nation theory, East Bengal would have been made part of India which most East Bengalis didn't want So what is your problem if support it. And how is Two-nation theory discriminating towards religion It clearly states that Hindu and Muslim societies of subcontinent are two-different nations. Do you agree or not? If not, then Bangladesh shouldn't exist in the first place. Don't contradict yourself.
We voted for Pakistan in 47 you know so I will support whomever I like none of your concern. Awami League is traitor they betrayed us I don't have any sympathies for traitor Awamis who broke our country up
I have no contradiction.We supported two nation theory in a particular time period to achieve something which will pave the way for independence of this land.Two nation theory was a means to achieve something not the faith of the people of East Bengal muslims.We never entertained the idea that Hindu and muslim can't live to gather.Example of which can be found by the substantial Hindu minority population still in BD. But in west pakistan religious cleansing was almost complete.We abandoned two nation theory immediately after achieving Pakistan.After achieving Pakistan we formed political and cultural organization which was inclusive to both Bengali Hindu and muslim.Our ultimate goal achieved in 1971.So two nation theory has no relevance in current BD. We used it for a brief period of time to shape our boundary as I belief Bengali people who constitute one of the largest ethnicity in the world deserves an independent state.
That is so selfish So you are saying you joined Pakistan just so you could form your own country later on by betraying Pakistan and joining hands with its enemy India to make Pakistan suffer embarassing defeat
. You could have told me this earlier in that 71 thread then I wouldn't have argued further with Anubis and you. I find it very sad. Anyways, just so you know these same Urdu-speaking UP and Bihari Muslims who are treated like animals in your country and forced to live in horrid conditions were the first ones to raise their voice against atrocities on Bengali Muslims during Assam riots and forced government to take note of it, not your Bengali Hindus from West Bengal who were busy celebrating their deaths on fb and calling for extermination of "Kangaldeshi" Muslims from Assam
