This war was fought under the leadership of Field Marshal Manekshaw. More than 1400 soldiers of India were martyred during this war. Before 1971, Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan called 'East Pakistan'. In the region, there was huge discontent against the military ruler of Pakistan, General Ayub Khan'. So, India supported Bangladesh against Pakistan's oppression in 'East Pakistan'. On December 3, 1971, the government of India ordered the Indian Army to declare war against Pakistan to save people of 'East Pakistan'. General AA Khan Niazi, chief of the Pakistan Army, surrendered to the Indian Army and Bangladesh's Mukti Bahani, along with 93,000 troops on this day.
