She still went all in and cut off Pakistan's eastern wing. A nuclear Pakistan with an eastern wing would have been a nightmare to India for all times.. Whatever her dealmaking deficiencies, she presided over Independent India's biggest military victory..
Nothing before or since comes close..
Sure, that's one way to look at it.
but the way I look at it is that instead of 1 islamic country, we got 2 of them now.
Both are openly hostile.
If we indeed win the 1971 war, what exactly are our winnings? Did anyone ask that?
if anything IG snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
She could have done 100 things differently post 1971 win but she did not.
What is the point of saying we won 1971 war when we have no winnings to show for it?
Did we win back our land in J&K? No
Did we get back our pow's? No
Did we ensure hindus safety in Bangladesh? No
So, what exactly did we win in 1971? I know we won but just exactly what did we win in terms of tangibles?
The fact is, we saved Bangladesh muslims's asss in 1971 and now they are biting us in the asss. That's it, that's all we did in 1971.
We could have changed the border towards our east in 1971 to something more manageable as part of our winnings but we did not.
Like I said, we won the war but I really don't know what that means when we have nothing to show for it, we gave back every single POW of theirs.
You know who had our POW's and our land even after they lost the war? Pak
and call it a win, what is purpose of N rounds of chai-samosa-biskut baithaks between multiple committees? Should have fired it the same day and called it a win.
