Today, 16th December is special for India as well as Bangladesh. Bangladesh was born on this day.

This is how Bangladesh was created
In 1971, India fought against Pakistan in East Pakistan, supporting the Bengali nationalist faction in the Bangladeshi War of Independence. Ultimately Pakistan lost this war and had to face a heavy defeat. It was the year 1970-71, when Pakistani General Yahya Khan started massacring the common people in East Pakistan through his repressive military rule. Then Sheikh Mujibur Rahman inspired the common people to fight and formed the Mukti Bahini army. Help was also sought from India. After this, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi gave permission for war to the Indian Army to save the people of East Pakistan from the cruelty of Pakistan.
That’s why it is special for India
Subsequently, the Indian Army launched Operation Trident on 4 December 1971. In this war, the Indian Army gave a befitting reply to the Pakistani Army and on 16 December 1971, Bangladesh was born as a new nation. In this war, the Indian Army forced the Pakistani Army Commander General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi to surrender on 16 December 1971. After this the Commander General formally surrendered to the combined forces of Mukti Bahini of India and Bangladesh.
About 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered
During this period, approximately 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered, the largest military surrender since World War II. India made 93,000 Pakistanis surrender along with their weapons and demonstrated the might of its military to the world.
