Indo -Pak war 1971 - New Delhi New Light Publishers 1971 - 214p
On the evening of 3rd December, 1971, the Military Junta of Pakistan, launched an unprovoked aggression against our country. Indian commitment to peace has always been total and irrevocable. This does not however, mean, submission before force or violence. Gandhiji always made the subtle but significant distinction between non-violence and cowardice. Hence when Pakistani hordes descended on us, we were left with no option but to give a fitting reply. This is what precisely our defence forces did. In the process, the enemy’s war-machine was dealt crippling blows. What is more, our Armed Force in conjunction with the Mukti Bahini ended the dark night of oppression and brutality in East Bengal and ushered in the new state of ‘Bangla Desk.’
All this was achieved in a remarkably short period of 14 days. In fact, the unconditional surrender by the enemy’s armed forces should serve as an object lesson to the military junta of Pakistan not to risk a conflict again.
