The military Role of "East Pakistan"-Bangladesh in 1965 against India

GoI census is never doctored.
It is the sole data set used by GoI to make national policies. Policies cannot be made based on falsified data or even the NSS.

I dont know whether you would get a visa or not. But if you can get it, feel free to go to A&N Islands yourself. I have gone there. Muslim culture is almost non existent there barring the small Muslim population.

The biggest group by far there is Hindus and Sikhs, then come the Christians.
There is no basis for any claim from any country barring Myanmar which can have some level of claim. That is because Myanmar also houses a Dharmic culture and is physically very close to A&N Islands.
Even then legally speaking, A&N belongs to India.

Bangladesh and Indonesia have as much claim on A&N Islands as they have on Texas(United States).

Andaman and Nicobar were conquered and ruled by Raja Raja chola an Indian King in the past.

Yes, east Pakistan was defenseless in the 1965 war. But, east was not supposed to be a contested land between the two countries as it was Kashmir in the west.

However, people here were quite motivated and all the news of battle field victories in the west overjoyed them. Presence of large troops or not, people were ready to fight an Indian attack with whatever weapons they could take hold of. But, India itself was not that strong in 1965 to wage a two front war against Pakistan.

Moreover, it was always military-run Pakistan govt which started trouble and war against India and then against east Pakistan in 1971. Indian generals did not have any doctrine to invade east. They simply did not have the resources to mobilize in both west and east.

I believe, it is still true for India, today. This is the reason why India wants a friendly or anti-Pakistan Party in power in Dhaka.

We should not see 1965 in the light of 1971. The time, place and occasion all were so different in the two wars. People in the east were equally motivated here and the East Bengal Regiment troops in the west saved Lahore from being occupied by the IA troops by giving their lives while destroying Indian tanks.

more like indian state propaganda is written here then reality.

in 65 India was attacked and had to mobilize troops to west. Attacking east would have given no benefit, simply because east pakistan was not considered a prized possession by either side. (cant be used as bargaining chip)
which is why, when attacked in kashmir we attacked punjab. That is what will have the maximum impact on psyche of pakistan punjabi dominated army.

71 was different, although officially pakistan was agreessor, the plan for war was going on in India for quite some time. And yes, 71 saw two front war, east pakistan was already weakened by muktis but they saw reverses in west pakistan too.

India is ill prepared for two front conventional war, but bangladesh is hardly of any significance, Its china and pakistan which we take into calculation now.

LOl u brainwashed Hindu. In 65 and in 71 u had waged wars on our Country.......Any Kashmir attack hasnt been proved by yr country. And also Kashmir is a disputed territory with no IB. And according to UN mandate any crossing of IB is an act of war.Thats why u were forced to give back the small land u had occupied in 65.

no you were, you idiot.

Indian propaganda at its best.

bla bla bla brainwashed muslim, the part of kashmir under India's control was attacked by pakistan. UN does not permit you to attack a disputed territory.
Can the same argument be given if India attack pak occupied kashmir? that we were just attacking disputed territory?

we also returned the land we occupied in punjab. and you went back to your place. big deal.

Read the books and articles written by your own ex servicemen, which was posted here many times. How your own airforce chief was not even consulted before attacking kashmir.
