@SG Sargent Major Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi of South African British Army was parachuted to Congress, a creation of the British, at the beginning of first world war to prevent 1857 type large scale armed insurrection from happening in India. Gandhi was personally involved in the recruitment of more than ten lakh Indian troops for the British army during world war one. More than 100,000 Indian soldiers died in 1st world war. Gandhi opposed violence against the British but supported violence by the British on the colonized people.

@SG Fact is, the Bengalis in East Bengal fought a 9 months long extremely bloody civil war to liberate their country. Indian army only intervened in the last 13 days when the border outposts were overrun by the Mukti Bahini as the Pakistani army was without any ammunition and supplies due to effective blockade by India. When Indira Gandhi asked Maneckshaw to attack Pakistan, he said Indian army is not prepared for war and India will lose the war and therefore he is willing to resign without pension as his wife is rich. He also mentioned the weather is not nice as monsoon was few months away therefore he wasn't willing to attack Pakistan. Fact is, Pakistan army in March 1971 was terribly unprepared as they were hastily deployed in PIA passenger jets to East Bengal separated by West Pakistan by more than 1000 miles of hostile territory. In March 1971, the Pakistani forces in East Bengal were quite small not exceeding 30,000 troops. By December of 1971 this had ballooned to more than 300,000 which included 200,000 local razakars recruited after June 1971. If India had attacked in April as directed by Indira Gandhi, India could not only easily defeat the small number of Pakistani troops in East Bengal but also saved several lakhs of Bengalis from being massacred by the Pakistan army and their local collaborators. It is the 9 months civil war waged by the Mukti Bahini consisting of Bengali troops from East Pakistan Rifles and East Bengal Regiment that led to the defeat of Pakistan army. Indian army entered the 9 months long Pakistani civil war in the last 13 days. It took us more than a month to clear the Golden temple and few days to clear a hotel of few teenage terrorists. A country of more than 70 million could never be liberated in 13 days. More than Indian army, credit goes to RAW which got in touch with Bengali nationalists in East Bengal after the 1965 war where East Bengal was left completely defenseless by the Pakistan army. Lack of defense in East Bengal played a major role in the defeat of Pakistan army in 1971.
