1971 War - Bangladesh
by aak on Dec 10, 2006 01:01 PM   Permalink

Reflecting at the results post the creation of Bangladesh one can with hindsight conclude that we should NOT have got into the matter at all. The East bengalis have benefitted from India's help then and benevolence (read weakness) in later years. We have created another thorn in our eastern side which continues to prick (read infuriate ) us . The demographics in the Eastern states and porus borders continue to wreak agony on the ORIGINAL residents. Assam and now Tripura are good examples where the successive years have forced people to take unitary action.
India may have won a victory in that war (under the dubious leadership of the nehru scions ) but the future generations are paying a heavy price for that !

All in all it leaves us Indians with a very sour result.
