What is Vijay Diwas? History of Vijay Diwas. Significance of Vijay Diwas. SK Vision Foundation celebrates Vijay Diwas.
Vijay Diwas:
December 16, 1971, holds a significant place in Indian history because it marked the day a new nation emerged on the world map. It was on this day that the Indian Army defeated the Pakistani Army, forcing 13,000 Pakistani soldiers, along with their Army Chief, General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, to surrender.
“Vijay” was the code name for an operation launched by the Indian Army, aimed at liberating the Bengali community of East Pakistan from the atrocities committed by the West Pakistani Army and helping establish East Pakistan, or Bangladesh.
During the war, numerous encounters took place between the Indian Army and the Pakistani Army. At the end of the war, East Pakistan, or Bangladesh, was established after victory with Indian support.
On this day, the Pakistani Army surrendered to the combined Indo-Bangladesh army, known as the “Mukti Bahini.” Bangladesh came into existence after this surrender.
History of Vijay Diwas:
Vijay Diwas, celebrated as a result of victory in the 1971 war, began with Pakistan’s airstrike on 11 Indian Air Force stations on December 3, 1971.
The 1971 war was a military conflict between India and Pakistan. India was asked for assistance in this war, resulting in the Indian Army agreeing to support Bengali nationalist groups in Bangladesh’s independence struggle in East Pakistan.
The contributions made by India’s great leaders, Indira Gandhi, Manek Shaw, and General Jagjit Singh, who changed world history and political geography, will always be remembered in the history of India and Bangladesh. Whenever Bangladesh celebrates its Independence Day, it will remember these great leaders by name.
