Wars are not just fought using militaries on the field. The loss of East Pakistan was because of West Pakistan's own myopic vision of who is a better Muslim, which language is superior to be a better Muslim, which race is stronger, who should influence Pakistan's narrative, etc. Where India was celebrating its diversity, you guys were suppressing it in your quest for a homogeneous nation and trying to ape the European countries.
I hear a lot of these silly reasons like East Pakistan was 1000 miles away from West Pakistan, etc. It basically goes to show that even then you were considering East Pakistan as some occupied country. Another complaint is that we had just 90000 soldiers and the Indians outnumbered us. Well, who stopped you from posting more troops in East Pakistan? Didn't you anticipate that India will take advantage of the situation? Why didn't you invade aggressively in Kashmir or on India's western border when Indian launched the assault in East Pakistan? Just like we attacked your Eastern border when you launched attacks in Kashmir in 1965? I just see poor strategy and planning of the Pakistanis. You guys considered this as some silly game with the 'chalta hai' attitude and before you even knew it, you were cut in half. I saw the video in which even your Army general after the surrender said 'It's just part of the game.'
Just accept that it was a crushing defeat where India was superior strategically, intent wise and leadership wise. We went for the kill, not silly half-hearted attempts.
Actually it was 50,000 troops and 40,000 family members. The bengalis won the war and did the main fighting. indians just came to pick up the pieces and celebrate. Nothing else. 50,000 Pakistani soldiers surrounded by 100 million hostile bengalis and 500 million hostile indians, 2700 kms away from the mainland stood no choice but to lay down their arms. No point in fighting to keep a union with a people who are racially alien to us and are in fact are genetically identical to indians.
