The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 was a major conflict between India and Pakistan. The war is closely associated with Bangladesh Liberation War (sometimes also referred to as Pakistani Civil War). There is an argument about exact dates of the war. However, hostilities commenced officially between India and Pakistan on the evening of December 3, 1971. The armed conflict on India's western front during the period between 3 December 1971 and 16 December 1971 is called the Indo-Pakistani War by both the Bangladeshi and Indian armies. The war ended in a defeat for the Pakistani military in a fortnight.
India celebrates Vijay Diwas on Friday. It was on December 16, 1971 the Indian Army liberated East Pakistan, paving the way for the formation of Bangladesh.
It was also on this day that the largest military surrender after World War II took place. Over 90,000 Pakistani soldiers were taken prisoners by India.
