What's new

Why is Bangladesh different?

Yep and they did:pakistan:, but if you do your little Indian math, they were still outnumbered and totally outgunned:cray:. Do you see the dilemma.

Problem is that the history shows huge numbers of Pak POW's taken (almost 30,000) without much of a fight around Dhaka area.....to just a regiment/brigade (3000) of Indian soldiers.

Listen to what your own forces Brigadier said at the end:


Jacob understood that a protracted war would not be in India's best interests. On December 16, during a lull in the battle, Jacob sought permission to visit Niazi to seek his surrender. He flew to Dhaka and obtained an unconditional surrender from Niazi, who later accused Jacob of blackmailing him into the surrender by threatening to order the annihilation of Pakistani troops in the East by bombing.[3] The war was a significant victory for India, with nearly 90,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendering to the Indian Army. Dhaka fell, despite the fact that there were 26,400 Pakistani soldiers in the city and only 3,000 Indian soldiers in the immediate area. "It was a total victory over a formidable, well-trained army. Had Pakistan fought on, it would have been difficult for us. We expected higher casualties," Jacob said.

What do you expect soldiers to fight with, Stick and stones?? When there was no reinforcements, whole population is hostile, they were outnumbered and outgunned by 15:1. Soviet Naval blockade was taking its toll, US Navy came late and unprepared and was themselves surprised to see the level of Soviet Naval presence. Nonetheless, Pakistan soldiers fought bravely :pakistan:and it was even admitted by Indian Generals themselves.

In words of Field Marshal Manekshaw:

Point well taken. Still the myth that 1 pak = 10 hindus was properly busted. Its all I wanted to say really.

I always respect the warrior spirit of any side (when conducted with honour) whether he wins or lose or whether he was friend or enemy.

"Indian victory" lol.
 
yes they can but not with traitors in millions back stabbing them :D

Who are the traitors ?? People of East Pakistan who created Pakistan or the military generals who seized power illegally

Yep and they did:pakistan:, but if you do your little Indian math, they were still outnumbered and totally outgunned:cray:. Do you see the dilemma. :cheesy:

Only problem is that there were not 500,000 Indian soldiers in the Eastern Sector. The total strength of the Indian army both in the East & West was little more than 500,000.

those who aliened with India were traitors.. Generals or Bengali doesn't matter... Army decision of not giving power to Mujeeb was right... bcoz Bengali leadership was puppet of India as its today...

So we should let Indian dalals as PM of our nation ? this is what u call learning?

What i learn from this is decentralization of powers and resources.. as much as its possible.. we have done this in 18th Amendment... we will press for more.. only foreign Affair, defense should be under Federal Govt...

There is no evidence that Mujib was an Indian agent. He was looking for the interests of East Pakistanis - Bengalis in particular. They voted for him. If he did not promote their interests of East Pakistanis he would have lost power in the next election. that is the beauty of democracy

if significant portion of your population want peace with India what are going to do ? Massacare them

Do not whine the next time about 1971

We will see if the Pakistani army opens fire on Punjabi Muslims
 
10 hindu soldiers

No 1 to 50. This out of the horse's mouth.


And over 150,000 Mukti Bahini supported by entire population of Bangladesh in addition of the entire Indian army against not all of Pakistan Army but just a small command of 45,000 men 1,300 miles away from home is not a big deal.

population of east pakistan is 60 million
why hold on to something you will lose with 80,000 troops ?
 
Truth is there was no 160,000 Mukti forces, these were militias comprised of local village men and boys. There couldn't have been 160k at one time. Secondly, we fought for a sovereign Bengali Muslim state (Pakistanis should have respected that earlier on) not to be subjugated by some far away city known as "Delhi". Now it's a struggle to rise against Indian hegemony in all sectors of life, whether it's media, penetration of Indians in the country etc. Hasina directly bows down to India and is noted even by western countries but the Indians here who might I add live in safe, cosmopolitan areas going for a nice warm latte every morning before they start programming their new rogue software.

Bangladeshis will never comply with Indian ways whether it's living or bebuaar.
