Dear Mr. Subrahmanyam, I am currently a student in 12th grade, and I am writing a paper on India's involvement and motives in the Bangladesh War of 1971. I read in an account that you wrote an article in the National Herald, where you said, and I quote "the East Pakistani crisis presented India with 'an opportunity the like of which will never come again'". Mr. Subrahmanyan, this may seem a ridiculous request (but that line has struck me so): would you please elaborate if you can on this statement?
