It was a story of India’s victory, Pakistan’s surrender and Bangladesh’s freedom. The Indian Armed Forces brought Pakistani army to its knees, took 93,000 Pakistani prisoners and gave 75 million people of Bangladesh their independence. The war started when Pakistan launched air strikes on 11 Indian airbases. It was perhaps the first time in which India’s all three forces fought in unison. Wg. Cdr. Sukhveer Dhankhar, who fought the 1971 war shares his memories today!
