Overview

"This book titled ""Bangladesh Liberation @50 Years: 'Bijoy' with Synergy: India-Pakistan War 1971"" is special, as it commemorates 50 years of the Liberation War of 1971. The primary reason for which was the situation prevailing in East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) and Pakistan's proactive actions based on its propagated strategy of 'Defence of the East lies in the West'. The book highlights the strategy and operational plans executed by India and Pakistan, and the role of the Mukti Bahini and the people of East Pakistan. It also talks about personal experiences, and accounts of soldiers and people alike.
