Nitin ji, I am son of retd. IAF person who was defending western front ( Amritsar Airbase). I lived those moments when my father had left us in Ambala Cantt with his unit overnight. We were without trenches, my mother dug for us. Both are still alive by God’s grace. I could not make it to defense forces though was shortlisted in SSBs due to some medical test.Missed serving my nation as a Defense person. Thanks for posting such stories. Salute to men/ women in uniform. They die so that we can live. Jai Hind 🙏🇮🇳
I was six years old and growing up in Barrackpore army cantonment near Calcutta. My late father had later told me of a friend of his who was a Captain in the Indian Army and who was shot down by the Pakistanis while paradropping in Bangladesh. I do not know whether it was this paradrop or another one, but my salute and sadar pranam to all those who fought for India. Hopefully, Bangladesh remembers those who liberated them from the butchers.
My village in Tripura had 2 Mukti-Bahini training camp. Several round of artillery shells fell here some of them did not blast (I think those were made in china🤣). I heard all these stories enthusiastically from my father.
My dad was posted at AirHeadquarters at that time and I was a 6 th std student following the Indian express everyday on the releases of news on IA progress. Your video gave me goosebumps while recalling the dark nights and sirens
That was really great! I was a college student then in kolkata. I have vivid memories of all those happenings. Like to hear more from you our armed forces' achievements.
Nice narrations...my father was in one of the advance parties to attack from Tripura side & heard lot many wartime stories about Bangladesh liberation. Got refreshed, once again. He retired with 6 decorations from Indian Army. Now at the age of 82, he cherishes all these moments.... I am sharing this documentary with him to go through....
I was 7 years old living at Air Force station Agra as my father was air signaller in 106 squadron which was stationed there. It was the finest hour in the military history of this country. Jai Hind.
@Sachin Vashisth The outcome of a war is decided on territorial changes and whether the objectives are achieved or not. Did India gain any territory? No Did Pakistan gain any territory? No. It was therefore a stalemate.
Hats of to the our beloved Indian Army. Hats off to "Vijay Dibas" of '1971 Bangala Desh War'. I have a live memories of those eventful days. Feel pride of our Indian Army. Jai Hind.
My late father ( God rest his soul) was a few years from retirement from the army, and was rather upset since this war was an outright victory, and was not sent into operations. He was an old battle ax from the WW2 era, that took him to North Africa & then to Burma and saw campaigns of 1948 & 1965. We also had the honor of meeting Lt. Gen Inder Gill who was then Corps Commander at IV Corps HQ. This made an interesting vlog, set me thinking of a lot of things, also the manner in which India then introduced the 5 paisa Refugee stamp on all postal correspondence to help in collecting funds to take care of the refugees from East Pakistan.
Thank you Nitin for a timely clip about the contribution made by the army. I would have liked you to mention a couple of people who gave their lives to achieve what we did. In our hearts, quietly, we can thank them for their contribution.
This detailed information makes me so much proud that I have no word to explain. We' were listening to radio but all these details weren't available I am proud of our army. JAI BHARAT

Good information. In fact recently I read a book on 67 forgotten war and another, "talent for war, biography on Lt. Gen. Sagat singh. A great and neglected hero of Indian army. In fact he was as good as General Patton. He deserves lot of publicity and a great movie like Patton. Thanks.
Woww.. Stealthy and psychological warfare techniques are considered to be the newest warfare techniques in the present days..but our Mighty ❤️Indian Army❤️ has used them in 1971.... Amazing...
Thanks a lot Nitin sir for such a lovely delibrate narration of the Tangail operation😍. It's always a pleasure to hear about such historic moments from you sir, thanks a lot again. Jai Hind🇮🇳
Every Indian Knows that we have won the war, But the details which you provide about of the army personnel involved, the tactics and the strategy with which were implemented in the war is that I like in your video.
For those who are not fluent in Hindi, when Niazi says, "Harami West Pakistan ne hara diya!", it literally means, "Bastard West Pakistani made us loose". If a General who holds such a significant role can call his nation bastard, nothing is left to say about the reality of the Pak Army, the so called backbone of Pakistan. 😂😂😂
All such operations of Indian Army/Defence Forces should be part of school curriculum for the younger generations to learn and be proud of and get motivated
1971, India had a outstanding spine of leadership with Manekshaw and Arora. They also had the Jewish General in Jacob (Captain then). Then there was Sagat Singh as well, these were battle hardened leaders. Time and again, they've stood up and delivered. I bet against China today, they would have delivered resounding thrusts. The core group of this leadership also won against the Portuguese and the Hyderbadi Nizam. A Parsi, Jew, Sikh, I think this was the essence of India, ever since then, I just see a decline in military leadership capabilities.
Lt Gen Sarat Singh was a true front line Gen. He was always one step ahead of enemy... How? Most of the day he flew over the front , visiting lower formations. Hence was well aware of the ground situations.On return to his HQ, he did not have to wait for reports from the front line formations. He speedily decided on next ops & issued orders giving front line troops adequate time & denying reaction time to the enemy. This worked wonders for his Corps..
Please note the real hero of drop of Para troops in Tangail was then Lt col K.S.Pannu.Indian commander Lt Col Kulwant Singh was awarded the MVC for his leadership in battle. The 2Paras were subsequently the first Indian forces to enter Dacca. For this and their role in Capture of the strategic bridge, the Paras received battle honour for Poongli Bridge and theatre honours for Dacca.[citation needed]
I knew of Tangail operation. But now I know the enormity of the operation. It was daring, gripping & fantastic. India must (continue) do such operations in future too, particularly in wrapping up operations, on a Force on the run (retreating) -as tying up loose ends is equally important as the war itself. See the C-113 Packet aircraft in the photo. This was the workhorse in Chushul battle with China in 1962.
1971 BANGLADESH LIBERATION WAR was indeed a family affair. The curse of a family befallen upon all 3 and their children. Indira, Mujib and Bhutto all die violently and unnaturally. The curse did not end here. Their progeny too died unnaturally and mostly violently. Inspect the names: Sheikh Russel 1975 Sheikh Kamal 1975 Sheikh Jamal 1975 Benazir Bhutto 2007 Murtaza Bhutto 1996 Shahnawaz Bhutto 1985 Rajiv Gandhi 1991 Sanjay Gandhi 1980 Benazir Bhutto, Rajiv Gandhi and Sheikh Hasina Wajid, all became prime ministers of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh respectively. Benazir and Rajiv met violent ends. Would Sheikh Hasina meet the violent end.?
A master stroke by Indira who rode on a popular wave and assumed dictatorial powers that culminated in the emergency of 1975. Master stroke by Sheikh Mujib who rose from a political agitator to Bangabandhu. Masterstroke from Bhutto who became President/Civilian Martial Law Administrator and then Prime Minister of Pakistan who would just be an opposition figure in a united Pakistan. He brilliantly sabotaged Poland's resolution in the UN that would've ensured a ceasefire and restoration of statusquo on December 3, 1971.
A very enlightening episode. Most of us are aware of the overallwar and as to how Bangladesh was created, but this daring action is known only to a few of us. Thanks for the efforts you took for giving the complete information as well as the background. It would also be interesting if you can provide us some classified information as to why our govt never raised issue of occupation of Aksai Chin after Chinese occupied it in 1962. We have seen netaas shouting about POK but Aksai Chin has been shut down in bureurcatic files . Only recently one has started hearing something about it.
Indian Armed Forces are the best on any given day..👍👌 And we all hope that more dismemberment of this "terrorist state" is on track in the forseeable future.. ✌

Lt Gen. Sagat Singh was truly a great commander
What followed after was too, but he was a legendary warrior of Indian Army, that's for sure.....
He also gave the Chinese a bloody nose in the skirmishes of 67
He..also liberated Goa...

I have seen some young even question why Indian helped Bangladesh and attacked Pakistan. They don't understand how complex the situation are.
It all started with revenge for 1965 by Late Indira Gandhi.
