There was no other way than to help Bangaladesh.But the mute point is that whatever our gallant army achieved on the battlefield was lost as usual by our so called Politicians on the Negotiation tables.Had our Politicians(rather Politician as it was Indira Gandhi and the only Indira Gandhi was a sole politician others surrounding were mere eunuch)shown the wisdom to take advantage of the situation and settled all perrinial problems with Pakistan and the erstwhile East Pakistan(like sharing of water,Farakka Barrage etc.)and asking B'desh to take every citizen of theirs back,we would not have been in such pathetic situation today. skj
