While India criticizes Pakistan for backing militants in Kashmir, it conveniently ignores its own filthy role in 1971 war. India helped Bangladesh in war against Pakistan because of many reasons. The large outpouring of the Hindus into the Indian territory from East Pakistan created a large chaos in the border.
India won the war decisively — splitting Pakistan into two, with the creation of Bangladesh. The war, however, came at a price for India — nearly 3,900 Indian soldiers were killed and nearly 10,000 others injured, with many left to suffer from life-long disabilities.
The Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 was for independence from Pakistan. India and Pakistan got independence from the British rule in 1947. Pakistan was formed for the Muslims and India had a majority of Hindus.
