1971 WAR Edit || Bangladesh liberation war || Mary on a cross | Real footage

The 1971 war between India and Pakistan was a significant conflict that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh. Here's a brief summary:

The war began on December 3, 1971, when Pakistan launched preemptive airstrikes on Indian airbases in the western sector. In response, India entered the war on December 4, supporting the Mukti Bahini, a Bengali nationalist liberation movement in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

The conflict escalated, and the Indian Armed Forces achieved major victories on both the eastern and western fronts. In the eastern theater, they conducted a swift military campaign, leading to the surrender of around 93,000 Pakistani troops in Dhaka on December 16, 1971.

This event marked the end of the war and led to the independence of Bangladesh, which was formerly known as East Pakistan. The war also had significant humanitarian consequences, with millions of refugees fleeing the conflict and seeking shelter in neighboring countries.

The war was a turning point in South Asian history and reshaped the region's geopolitical landscape.
