What a silly jingoistic question this is!In hindsight everything seems so straight and simple.At that time the Bangladeshi people were dying en masse.What sort of a people are we to say 'Oh we should have taken this piece of land,and tortured so many soildiers and installled such a pro-India regime'? Were we supposed to take advantage of Bangladesh's desperate struggle for survival for trivial selfish gains? So India helped out the Bangladeshis(though I have heard and read about Indian soldiers indulging in pillage and rape when they arrived in Dhaka),are they expected to to be greatful and subservient and have no independent foreign policy? Who knows, maybe if India had not gotten involved,the Bangladeshis would have won independence anyways,only it would have taken more time.Humanity needs to take precedence over everything else and some of the people who have posted shrill,xenophobic comments should remember that.
