- What happened in 1971? And which counties surrendered in Wars?
The military conflict in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) had reached a critical stage. Indian forces, in support of Bangladeshi nationalists, had surrounded and isolated Pakistani forces in Dhaka, the capital of East Pakistan. Many countries, including major powers like the United States and China, did not come to Pakistan's aid. In contrast, India received diplomatic support from several nations.
The conflict had caused a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions of refugees from East Pakistan seeking shelter in India. This put enormous pressure on both Pakistan and India to find a resolution.
The military balance had tilted in favor of India, with superior numbers and equipment. Pakistan's ability to continue the fight was diminishing.
