ABOUT THE BOOK

Based on eighteen years of research and previously
unexplored material, this is the definitive book on
India’s role in the liberation of Bangladesh
India and Bangladesh achieved a historic victory in the 1971 war.
Yet fifty years later, important questions remain about India’s aims
and policy in the war. Did India have a plan to break up Pakistan?
When and why did it involve itself with the Bangladesh freedom
struggle? When did India decide to prepare for military action?
Why was no other country prepared to support the cause of an
independent Bangladesh? Did India ‘win the war but lose the
peace’ by signing the Simla Agreement?
Drawing on previously unexplored Indian records, eminent
diplomat and historian Chandrashekhar Dasgupta dispels
many myths as he sheds fascinating new light on these and
other questions. Deeply researched over eighteen years, this
authoritative, lucid and compellingly narrated book also reveals
why and how India fashioned an overarching grand strategy,
employing every instrument of national power – political,
diplomatic, economic and military – to help the Bangladesh
freedom fighters speedily liberate their country.
