Thanks for bringing the story. In an era of dissemination of distorted facts, your efforts to bring less told stories, are commendable.

His Excellency Ambassador Dasgupta is a brilliant, erudite man and diplomat of the highest quality. Makes me proud of India’s planning and execution of the grand strategy on military, policy, political, diplomatic, humanitarian and public relations grounds. Look forward to reading the book.

Just imagine how differently Modi-Shah would have tackled the 1971

Indira Gandhi was a mature leader in the international arena. However nationally she was forced to manage immature ministers and mysogenistic opposition

Indira Gandhi was the greatest ever Prime Minister of not only India but of entire Asia as far as a wartime leader is concerned, her indomitable spirit to go ahead to war in spite of nobody as India's ally. Modi is trying to project himself as equal to Indira Gandhi, well forget equal he is it even a pale shadow of her sari. She was a true world's stateswoman.

Barkha - why couldn't these soldiers be handed over to the Bangladesh government to stand trial for war crimes and other attrocities?

[miansarwar]

BARKHA your good self should now understand the people of SUBCONTINENT got this idea that they can follow the example of East PAKISTAN in INDIAN states. Now India will be in many parts and off course PAKISTAN will lead as your country did. TWO EXAMPLES ON WHICH YOU WILL NEVER OVERCOME ARE KHALISTAN AND KASHMIR. SORRY BUT ONE CAN CLEARLY SEE INDIA BREAKING IN MANY PARTS
