Answers can at best be hypothetically right. My take is that it is like half a dozen or six. 1. Situation in 1971 demanded that we help Mukthi Bahini. With number of refugees going beyond 10 million what else could you do? 2. It is true that Bangla is, was and will be backstabbing. But, Franly if Bangal had not been formed also we would have the had same problem 3. Problems like infiltration, atrocities against minotrities too would not have been less even if Bangla had not separated. Muslim friendly Communist governments who are out to dismantle India would still have gladly helped Pakistanis to infilter 4. The biggest loss for India is the loss of troops, lives of some brave soldiers, and hefty amount of relief and aid provided to build "New Bangla" The blame should be on really on handful people - Lord, ney Mr Curzon who broke Bengal in 1905 and Greedy Nehru for agreeing for braking India in 47 without any benefit to India. (At the least India should have asked for complete exchange of population of North India. That way infiltration could have been easily found out and Islamization of secular India would have take much longer than current estimate of less than 100 years
