New Delhi: On 3 December 1971, the Indian Army attacked the Pakistan Army due to the brutality of the Pakistani army in East Pakistan. This was the second time after the 1965 war when the armies of the two countries were face to face. The Indian Army had also ignored the threat of the US for the independence of Bangladesh by separating from Pakistan. The US deployed its 7th fleet of the navy in the Bay of Bengal to intimidate India.

The 1971 war between India and Pakistan began as the Bangladesh Liberation War. After the India-Pakistan partition, Pakistan was divided into eastern and western parts.

This led to protests in East Pakistan. To curb these, the government ordered the army to suppress them.
