The 40th anniversary of vijay diwas today marking the finest hour of the Indian armed forces when they defeated Pakistan, leading to the creation of Bangladesh in 1971.
The Pakistani Army had surrendered on this day and Bangladesh was liberated after a 13 day-long battle. 90,000 Pakistani troops had surrendered to theIndian Army along with their top commanders in East Pakistan.
Dhaka, the then capital of East Pakistan, fell to the Indian forces on 16th December, 1971. Lt. Gen. A K Niazi, commanding the Pakistani troops in the eastern sector, surrendered to the Indian Armed Forces led by the then General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora. Niazi also signed the Instrument of Surrender, signalling the birth of Bangladesh.
A number of soldiers and officers on the Indian and Bangladeshi sides were awarded the highest gallantry award of their respective countries. While theIndian Army was awarded three Param Vir Chakras, the Indian Air Force earned its sole PVC following the daring act of Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon who single-handedly thwarted a Pakistani Air Force attack on Srinagar.
Except Major Hoshiyar Singh who retired as Brigadier later on, all the awards were given posthumously.
