Indian Army evacuating 93000 Pakistani Prisoners of War

Brief History of 1971 war

1971 war began with Pakistan attacking India and committing genocide against Bangladeshis in then East Pakistan http://www.genocidebangladesh.org/

Within 13 days of start of war, Indian military decimated pakistani forces and liberated Bangladesh from the clutches of pakjabis. The resulting surrender of 90,000 pakistani military personnel was largest in number of prisoners of war since World War II.

The Instrument of Surrender of Pakistani forces stationed in East Pakistan was signed at Ramna Race Course in Dhaka at 16.31 IST on 16 December 1971, by Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora, General Officer Commanding-in-chief of Eastern Command of the Indian Army and Lieutenant General A. A. K. Niazi, Commander of Pakistani forces in East Pakistan.

The Hamoodur Rahman Commission report instituted by Pakistan has the following comments to make on the result of war

For Pakistan it was a complete and humiliating defeat, a psychological setback that came from a defeat at the hands of intense rival India.

Pakistan lost half its territory, significant portion of its economy and its geo-political role in South Asia.

The loss of East Pakistan had shattered the prestige of the Pakistani military. Pakistan lost half its navy, a quarter of its air force and a third of its army.

@Mystifiedromantic ,

My uncle saved several Bihari origin people(Muslims) from their ancestral village area in 1971......It was a matter of pure luck that Bihar regiment of Indian Army was deployed in Bangladesh.....otherwise there would have been a second massacre after the surrender.....sadly Pakistan still refuses to accept the stranded Biharis.....

@MegaGmaan Lol :D pakistan is an islamic shithole !! i think it is in a political turmoil and an army take over looks imminent! can democracy survive in god damned pakistan??!!! Hell noo!! The indians have done a great job in beating paki asses!!

[Mystifiedromantic]

India's noble way of dealing with the POWs is truly admirable. Sadly, in this turbulent part of the world, one neighbour (Pakistan) is fret with malignant diseases. It does make me very happy to see students going back and forth between the two countries; hopefully they will be spared of the hatred that overrides all positivity between India and Pakistan.

Indian Army seem to have high morals. Pakistan forever provokes them, attacking them through cowardly means (terrorism), yet India never retaliates. India values peace and human life.
