Under the astute leadership of the then Prime Minister Smt Indira Gandhi, India handed a crushing defeat to Pakistan in the 1971 War which had started with unprovoked attacks on Indian territory by the Pakistani air force on December 3. A fortnight later, 93,000 Pakistan forces surrendered to the Indian Army led by General Jagjit Singh Aurora and a new sovereign nation called Bangladesh came into existence. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared in the Indian Parliament:Dhaka is now the free capital of a free country. We hail the people of Bangladesh in their hour of triumph. All nations who value the human spirit will recognize it as a significant milestone in mans quest for liberty.
