Then this happened...Had it not been for Indra..Pakistan would have reached at-least a negotiated understanding on Kashmir if not a full blown peace and partition plan. Having even minimum understanding over kashmir and border management would have re-started commerce and improved lives of millions of Kashmiris..Indra..played typical evil mother-in-law type politics which had negative geo-political implications...and did not bring her any short term gains either...women in politics is a bad omen..I have always said this...
Indra's immature reactions in East-Pakistan gave West-Pakistan a whole lot new awakening towards its defense..it propelled Pakistan on the fore front of Mujahideen support in Afghanistan which continues to be a terrorist menace today, fast track developments of nuclear bomb, pull China closer in its foreign policy...
And not to mention..the massacre ran both ways..with Mukti terrorist initiating it..by murdering west-Pak civilians and army personal stationed in the east..as well as their families..
