Overview: The Lightning War of 1971 & Birth of Bangladesh

BharatShakti.in presents a series on the Lightning War of 1971 and the Birth of Bangladesh. In the first video of the series, Founder and Editor-in-Chief Nitin Gokhale and Editor Brig S K Chatterji (Retd) talk about how the Indian forces took their time, equipped and trained, waited for the winter when passes along the Chinese border became impassable, the monsoon flooding in the riverine terrain was over, and the Mukti Bahini was prepared. They waited for Pakistan to start the war and then responded with lightning speed to liberate Bangladesh in 13 days of war.
