- NEW DELHI: Forty nine years ago, India notched up a major military success against Pakistan, leading to the formation of Bangladesh. All of this achieved in less than two weeks. One of the decisive moments in the 1971 war came when around 800 Indian paratroopers landed in Tangail, which was then in East Pakistan. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale narrates the events in the run-up to the largest para drop after World War II, which ultimately led to Pakistan signing the instrument of surrender.

Nitin ji, I am son of retd. IAF person who was defending western front ( Amritsar Airbase). I lived those moments when my father had left us in Ambala Cantt with his unit overnight. We were without trenches, my mother dug for us. Both are still alive by God’s grace. I could not make it to defense forces though was shortlisted in SSBs due to some medical test.Missed serving my nation as a Defense person. Thanks for posting such stories. Salute to men/ women in uniform. They die so that we can live. Jai Hind 🙏🇮🇳

🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍🪔🪔🪔🪔
I was six years old and growing up in Barrackpore army cantonment near Calcutta. My late father had later told me of a friend of his who was a Captain in the Indian Army and who was shot down by the Pakistanis while paradropping in Bangladesh. I do not know whether it was this paradrop or another one, but my salute and sadar pranam to all those who fought for India. Hopefully, Bangladesh remembers those who liberated them from the butchers.
Lt Gen. Sagat Singh was truly a great commander
What followed after was too, but he was a legendary warrior of Indian Army, that's for sure.....
He also gave the Chinese a bloody nose in the skirmishes of 67
He..also liberated Goa...

My village in Tripura had 2 Mukti-Bahini training camp. Several round of artillery shells fell here some of them did not blast (I think those were made in china🤣). I heard all these stories enthusiastically from my father.
Made in China😅
Thank God they are made in china 😂
Sagat Singh was an iconic General !!!
Yes.... He also had a prominent role in 1967 against the Chinese.
@@nandkumarnampoothiri6291 Gokhale sir , make episode on sri Sagat Singh . Many doesn't Know .
My dad was posted at AirHeadquarters at that time and I was a 6 th std student following the Indian express everyday on the releases of news on IA progress. Your video gave me goosebumps while recalling the dark nights and sirens
Congratulations. All the best to the Indian defence forces.
I have seen some young even question why Indian helped Bangladesh and attacked Pakistan. They don't understand how complex the situation are.
It all started with revenge for 1965 by Late Indira Gandhi.
@Sachin Vashisth The 65 war was a stalemate. The only positive aspect was that we ruined pakistan's Operation Gibraltar.
@Sachin Vashisth The outcome of a war is decided on territorial changes and whether the objectives are achieved or not. Did India gain any territory? No Did Pakistan gain any territory? No. It was therefore a stalemate.
@@warnpassion Yes it was a stalemate. But we sure had an upper hand above them.
Thanks Nitin Bhai 🙏🏽🇮🇳💕, thrilling and particularly fulfilling to me as the proud father of a special forces officer 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
God bless your son Sir🙏🙏❤️❤️👍👍
My wishes also.
Respect Sir 🙏
Appreciate your detailed sharing of this event!
That was really great! I was a college student then in kolkata. I have vivid memories of all those happenings. Like to hear more from you our armed forces' achievements.
I was 7 years old living at Air Force station Agra as my father was air signaller in 106 squadron which was stationed there. It was the finest hour in the military history of this country. Jai Hind.
My late father ( God rest his soul) was a few years from retirement from the army, and was rather upset since this war was an outright victory, and was not sent into operations. He was an old battle ax from the WW2 era, that took him to North Africa & then to Burma and saw campaigns of 1948 & 1965. We also had the honor of meeting Lt. Gen Inder Gill who was then Corps Commander at IV Corps HQ. This made an interesting vlog, set me thinking of a lot of things, also the manner in which India then introduced the 5 paisa Refugee stamp on all postal correspondence to help in collecting funds to take care of the refugees from East Pakistan.
Thanks for sharing! We need more such stories to tell the current generations. Forgetting isn't an option given the precarious times we live in!
Nice narrations...my father was in one of the advance parties to attack from Tripura side & heard lot many wartime stories about Bangladesh liberation. Got refreshed, once again. He retired with 6 decorations from Indian Army. Now at the age of 82, he cherishes all these moments.... I am sharing this documentary with him to go through....
December 2020 is an apt moment to remember the Bangladesh Liberation War, 1971.
Indian forces had their best moment under their leaders. In every area of the encounter, India bested their adversaries.
It is also a time to recognise the sacrifice of the Bengali people and the grit with which Muktibahini fought even when India's help wasn't assured. Muktijoddhas turned their irredeemable plight into a saga of tenacity.
We greet Bangladeshi people on the 49th anniversary ( 16th December) of our victory. Your forefathers were an equal partaker in the victory that Mitrobahini achieved.
Jai Hind, Joy Bangla🇮🇳🇧🇩👍
A great victory for our armed forces in 1971 indo pak war. Salute to indian army
Thanks to field marshal Sam Manekshaw for right planning and execution 🇮🇳💕
Thanks for sharing this Brave operation of the Indian Army Parachute Regiment

Jai Bharat
Jai Hind to India from Srilanka
Thank you Nitin for a timely clip about the contribution made by the army. I would have liked you to mention a couple of people who gave their lives to achieve what we did. In our hearts, quietly, we can thank them for their contribution.
Thank you very much sir For sharing with the us

we will never repeat abhinandhan film again
we will brutally slauther your lazy army as our ssg doing since 1999
@@acgamerking3366 Yup, you slaughtered our soldiers in Kargil War, that's why your government refused to take the corpses of your own soldiers. As you're already on some high weed, wanna describe you "brought India on their knees" in 1971 ?

1971 war was a civil war , not any direct war but still you have taken advantage of that volenerabilty from east pakistan .... other wise we have already surprised you in and out side of india .....
Thank you Nitin. 👏👏👏👏
Good narrated Nitin jee👍👍👍 salute to indian army that was very good plan 👌👌👌 whole nation proud forever
Thank you Nitin for making me aware about Vijay diwas true history and significance
Thanks for sharing the entirety of the very special Tangail operation. Jai Hind
I wonder why are there no movies ... look at Band of Brothers .. I wonder when are we gonna do that
Good information.
In fact recently I read a book on 67 forgotten war and another, "talent for war, biography on Lt. Gen. Sagat singh.
A great and neglected hero of Indian army.
In fact he was as good as General Patton.
He deserves lot of publicity and a great movie like Patton. Thanks.
Fund it. Then hope you have an audience.
Great information. Very narrative and authentic too. Thanks.
Well done Indian Soldiers 🇮🇳 Bharat Mata ki Jai.🙏👌🙏
This detailed information makes me so much proud that I have no word to explain. We' were listening to radio but all these details weren't available
I am proud of our army. JAI BHARAT
Nitinji, l was 13yrs then a 9th std student in a remote village in kerala. My two uncles were in defense durog the war and my father was in the police . I still remember the said paradrop photograph in the malayalam news paper. I salute the brave warriers and those laid down their lIves for our nation. I cherish their memoris and bow on their feets💐
Superb narrative and well delivered. An annual of all these stories needs to be created.
Thanks Nitin!!!
For those who are not fluent in Hindi, when Niazi says, "Harami West Pakistan ne hara diya!", it literally means, "Bastard West Pakistani made us loose". If a General who holds such a significant role can call his nation bastard, nothing is left to say about the reality of the Pak Army, the so called backbone of Pakistan. 😂😂😂
Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏👍❤️❤️
Were there actually 93 thousands Pakistani soldiers who surrendered that day.
I still remember that war..
I was 10 yrs old kid..
Every night there used to be black out..
But what a Victory..
Pak sliced into two parts...👍👍💐💐
Hats of to the our beloved Indian Army. Hats off to "Vijay Dibas" of '1971 Bangala Desh War'. I have a live memories of those eventful days. Feel pride of our Indian Army. Jai Hind.
What a fantastic job done. We see none of this in our history books. Bharat mata ki jai. Thanks to you.
माझ्या कुटुंबात INS Khukhri मधून परत आलेले माझे मावस सासरे आहेत. समुद्रात रात्री काय परिस्थिती होती? त्या लोकांनीच सांगावं!
Every Indian Knows that we have won the war,
But the details which you provide about of the army personnel involved, the tactics and the strategy with which were implemented in the war is that I like in your video.
Just Gr'888, with my experience I join as a Medic patrolling all Nights in 71 my area in Mumbai was Santacruz East. It was a proud moment for me as a young medic.
Our Mighty Militery did a superb job and liberated Now Bangladesh 🇧🇩 which is now turning to be a Pain in the Ass for India 🇮🇳. We now need one more major operation and overtake our occupied land by the Chinese and Pakistanis.
Go East, Go West, But India 🇮🇳 is the Best.

Excellent information
Best analysis.

We are geographical separated but we remained intact theologically,the Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis
I thank u ,Gokhale sir.
You enlightned us . l subscribed Your channel .
Those were men!
Great story sir.
Good job #sir
Appreciate your Studies about 1971
Woww.. Stealthy and psychological warfare techniques are considered to be the newest warfare techniques in the present days..but our Mighty ❤️Indian Army❤️ has used them in 1971.... Amazing...
GREAT. GEO.
Good historical facts revealed
Super, Super, Super!
Jai Hind Brave Hearts
Sir, You forgot to Mention Naval Blockade On Both Eastern & Western Coasts
Lt Gen Sarat Singh was a true front line Gen. He was always one step ahead of enemy... How? Most of the day he flew over the front , visiting lower formations. Hence was well aware of the ground situations.On return to his HQ, he did not have to wait for reports from the front line formations. He speedily decided on next ops & issued orders giving front line troops adequate time & denying reaction time to the enemy. This worked wonders for his Corps..
All such operations of Indian Army/Defence Forces should be part of school curriculum for the younger generations to learn and be proud of and get motivated
Sir which will deter China effectively,
Mountain strike core or
3 aircraft carriers
Both
The will power and unity of Indians can beat the crap out of Chinese, if we can project it well and use it effectively.
Aircraft carriers.
Submarines
The war was always in India's favour
keep it up sir
Jay Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Great information on Vijay diwas.
1971, India had a outstanding spine of leadership with Manekshaw and Arora. They also had the Jewish General in Jacob (Captain then). Then there was Sagat Singh as well, these were battle hardened leaders. Time and again, they've stood up and delivered. I bet against China today, they would have delivered resounding thrusts.
The core group of this leadership also won against the Portuguese and the Hyderbadi Nizam. A Parsi, Jew, Sikh, I think this was the essence of India, ever since then, I just see a decline in military leadership capabilities.
Operation Market Garden 2.0 Thanks for walking us through the entire sequence of events so eloquently!
A very enlightening episode. Most of us are aware of the overallwar and as to how Bangladesh was created, but this daring action is known only to a few of us. Thanks for the efforts you took for giving the complete information as well as the background.
It would also be interesting if you can provide us some classified information as to why our govt never raised issue of occupation of Aksai Chin after Chinese occupied it in 1962. We have seen netaas shouting about POK but Aksai Chin has been shut down in bureurcatic files . Only recently one has started hearing something about it.
I knew of Tangail operation. But now I know the enormity of the operation. It was daring, gripping & fantastic. India must (continue) do such operations in future too, particularly in wrapping up operations, on a Force on the run (retreating) -as tying up loose ends is equally important as the war itself.
See the C-113 Packet aircraft in the photo. This was the workhorse in Chushul battle with China in 1962.
I never knew that this happened, until now.
May i (and hopefully others will join) request StratNewsGlobal to cover such operation stories tht get left out in main stream media. Please do cover more topics. And also do a book review of operation conducted by Indian Defence forces. Thank you for this great video. All the very best
Please note the real hero of drop of Para troops in Tangail was then Lt col K.S.Pannu.Indian commander Lt Col Kulwant Singh was awarded the MVC for his leadership in battle. The 2Paras were subsequently the first Indian forces to enter Dacca. For this and their role in Capture of the strategic bridge, the Paras received battle honour for Poongli Bridge and theatre honours for Dacca.[citation needed]
Perfect movie potent episode
Sir please post a video about operation mandhol by para special forces
You said ‘ lt Gen Nirbhoy Sharma’ a few times, was he a Lt. Gen or a Major ?
Please do a program on stellar role Mukti Bahini played in Liberation of Bangladesh. 🙏
