In my view 'No'. If we recall the pre-Id message of General Yahya in 1971 wherein he, being cornerned in world community, offered to settle all the dispute including Kashmir. That would have been a great opportunity for India to demand Full Autonomy for East Pakistan, make LoC in Kashmir a permanent Inter-National Border, and to sign No-War Pact etc. In that case Pakistan would have always a venerable strategic weekness that now does not exist rather it is our turn now. We are facing two hostile nations in stead of one.
