“ WAR BETWEEN INDIA & PAKISTAN :BEGINNING OF THE GREAT LOSS”
The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 was a confrontation between India and Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. The war began with Operation Chengiz Khan, Pakistani air attacks on 11 Indian airbases on 3 December 1971, leading to the commencement of hostilities with West Pakistan and Indian entry into the war of independence in East Pakistan on the side of Bangladeshi nationalist forces. Lasting just 13 days, it is one of the shortest wars in history.
During the war, Indian and Pakistani forces clashed on the eastern and western fronts. The war ended after the Eastern Command of the Pakistani Armed Forces signed the Instrument of Surrender,] on 16 December 1971 in Dhaka, marking the liberation of the new nation of Bangladesh. East Pakistan had officially seceded from Pakistan on 26 March 1971. Between 90,000 and 93,000 Pakistanis were taken prisoner by the Indian Army which included 79,676 to 81,000 uniformed personnel of Pakistan Armed Forces, including some Bengali soldiers who had remained loyal to Pakistan. The remaining 10,324 to 15,000 prisoners were civilians, either family members of the military personnel or collaborators (razakars). It is estimated that between 300,000 and 3,000,000 civilians were killed in Bangladesh As a result of the conflict, a further eight to ten million people fled the country at the time to seek refuge in neighbouring India
