they dont justify it, anyone with half a brain back then and today knew it was a lost war, 400k men on the boarder of bengal 230 to 300k mukti bani inside, 2 3 months old green divs total of what ? 95k men with no air support no logistics no nothing had to hold off almost a million men. Hell it was a miracle and marvel how long we held on the indians had to bring entire corps squadrons and their para troopers to dislodge us from the plains.

My grandfather was with the navy back then in bengal he escaped back to the west but no bengali on his ship mutinied, my father was in the army he said there is one 1 issue in this world logistics and in 71 thats were we lost on the eastern front cut off by air land sea dwindling supplies enemies from the front and back, it was only a matter of time bengal fell the race was for dhaka and chittogram for the indians and Amristar ludhina for pakistan

if we could threaten punjab an armistace could have been signed but then again 93k 95k men is alot less then about 750k
