1. A grateful nation never forgets it's dead and the Bravehearts, who ensured that the enemy is given a bloody nose. Precious lives of many soldiers are lost and many are injured during war, while defending the Borders . The Indio Pak War of 1971 resulted in bifurcation of Pakistan and around 93000 Pakistanis surrendered to the Indian Army. Such a glorious feat is unlikely to be witnessed again by the world. It was a result of a fine coordination between the political and military Leadership of India, resulting in a brilliant military plan and its execution.
