When Indira Gandhi divides Pakistan…

NP NEWS 24 ONLINE- Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi, the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, was born on 19th November 1917. She was the first and, to date, the only female Prime Minister of India.  It was a proud thing for India, but it was more shocking for the US.

Indira’s relative Krishna wrote in her book, that India has chosen a woman at this important position. This thing was amazing for America and the world. When Indira Gandhi visited America after the becoming Prime Minister, she was greeted with full honors in America. This tour has been done very well.

The 1971 war and the birth of Bangladesh :

In 1971, the Pakistan government and army were doing injustice with their own people in East Pakistan. For this reason, the citizens were rebelling against the army. That is why, they were entering India. India was receiving threats from Pakistan.

On April 25, 1971, Indira Gandhi had told the Army chief that, If Pakistan has to teach a lesson, then you will have to fight. Then Indira Gandhi made two plans for it. It was decided to encircle Pakistan from both sides. One is to defeat Pakistan by diplomacy and secondly to teach lessons with military action. She ordered the army to be prepared for this.

In November 1971, Pakistani helicopters was coming to India. India had issued a precautionary warning to Pakistan. However, Pakistan President Yahya Khan had threatened to declare war against India within 10 days. On 3rd December, Pakistan made a mistake, which India was waiting for.

The Pak Army was bombing Indian cities from the helicopter. Then the Indian Army defeated Pakistan’s 90,000 troops. The Indian army reached Dhaka on 16th December. Pakistan’s army had to kneel down in front of India.

“This Woman Suckered us…”this wast the reaction of  the then US President Richard Nixon about Indira Gandhi after the war of 1971.
