I think it will be pure hypocrisy if we deliberately omit more than
400,000 Bengalis stranded in Pakistan during that time in this equation.
Most of them were government officials living with their families, so
many of them were women and children.

obliged to that agreement? It clearly shows, Seikh Mujib was an inapt &
incompetent Prime Minister of Bangladesh!! General Niazi of Pak Army
surrendered to Gen Aurora, and Indian forces  took all the arms
left by Pakistan Army, woth millions of Dollars from the land of
Bangladesh. Again, it was a diplomatic failure for Mujib to Indira
Gandhi. It shows clearly, India is the clear winner, Indira Gandhi was
looking at the future of her own country slicing Mujib into pieces.
Later, Mujib-Indira agreement, another failure of Seikh Mujib, signed to
protect Bangladesh - 25 years of slavery for Bangladesh.

the debt!

President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan on 2nd July 1972 was much more
than a peace treaty seeking to reverse the consequences of the 1971 war
(i.e. to bring about withdrawals of troops and an exchange of PoWs).Â
It was a comprehensive blue print for good neighbourly relations between
India and Pakistan. Under the Simla Agreement both countries undertook
to abjure conflict and confrontation which had marred relations in the
past, and to work towards the establishment of durable peace, friendship
and cooperation.
> The Simla Agreement contains a set of guiding principles, mutually
agreed to by India and Pakistan, which both sides would adhere to while
managing relations with each other. These emphasize: respect for
each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty;
non-interference in each other’s internal affairs; respect for
each others unity, political independence; sovereign equality; and
abjuring hostile propaganda. The following principles of the
Agreement are, however, particularly noteworthy:
> • A mutual commitment to the peaceful resolution of all issues
through direct bilateral approaches.
> • To build the foundations of a cooperative relationship with
special focus on people to people contacts.
> • To uphold the inviolability of the Line of Control in Jammu
and Kashmir, which is a most important CBM between India and Pakistan,
and a key to durable peace.
> India has faithfully observed the Simla Agreement in the conduct of
its relations with Pakistan.
>
> SIMLAÂ AGREEMENT

> Agreement on Bilateral Relations Between The Government of India and
The Government of Pakistan
> 1. The Government of India and the Government of Pakistan are resolved
that the two countries put an end to the conflict and confrontation that
have hitherto marred their relations and work for the promotion of a
friendly and harmonious relationship and the establishment of durable
peace in the sub-continent, so that both countries may henceforth devote
their resources and energies to the pressing talk of advancing the
welfare of their peoples.
> In order to achieve this objective, the Government of India and the
Government of Pakistan have agreed as follows:-
> (i) That the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United
Nations shall govern the relations between the two countries;
> (ii) That the two countries are resolved to settle their differences
by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other
peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them. Pending the final
settlement of any of the problems between the two countries, neither
side shall unilaterally alter the situation and both shall prevent the
organization, assistance or encouragement of any acts detrimental to the
maintenance of peaceful and harmonious relations;
> (iii) That the pre-requisite for reconciliation, good neighbourliness
and durable peace between them is a commitment by both the countries to
peaceful co-existence, respect for each other’s territorial
integrity and sovereignty and non-interference in each other’s
internal affairs, on the basis of equality and mutual benefit;
> (iv) That the basic issues and causes of conflict which have
bedevilled the relations between the two countries for the last 25 years
shall be resolved by peaceful means;
> (v) That they shall always respect each other’s national unity,
territorial integrity, political independence and sovereign equality;
> (vi) That in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations they
will refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial
integrity or political independence of each other.
> 2. Both Governments will take all steps within their power to prevent
hostile propaganda directed against each other. Both countries will
encourage the dissemination of such information as would promote the
development of friendly relations between them.
> 3. In order progressively to restore and normalize relations between
the two countries step by step, it was agreed that;
> (i) Steps shall be taken to resume communications, postal,
telegraphic, sea, land including border posts, and air links including
overflights.
> (ii) Appropriate steps shall be taken to promote travel facilities for
the nationals of the other country.
> (iii) Trade and co-operation in economic and other agreed fields will
be resumed as far as possible.
> (iv) Exchange in the fields of science and culture will be promoted.
> In this connection delegations from the two countires will meet from
time to time to work out the necessary details.
> 4. In order to initiate the process of the establishment of durable
peace, both the Governments agree that:
> (i) Indian and Pakistani forces shall be withdrawn to their side of
the international border.
> (ii) In Jammu and Kashmir, the line of control resulting from the
cease-fire of December 17, 1971 shall be respected by both sides without
prejudice to the recognized position of either side. Neither side
shall seek to alter it unilaterally, irrespective of mutual differences
and legal interpretations. Both sides further undertake to refrain
from the threat or the use of force in violation of this Line.
> (iii) The withdrawals shall commence upon entry into force of this
Agreement and shall be completed within a period of 30 days thereof.
> 5. This Agreement will be subject to ratification by both countries in
accordance with their respective constitutional procedures, and will
come into force with effect from the date on which the Instruments of
Ratification are exchanged.
> 6. Both Governments agree that their respective Heads will meet again
at a mutually convenient time in the future and that, in the meanwhile,
the representatives of the two sides will meet to discuss further the
modalities and arrangements for the establishment of durable peace and
normalization of relations, including the questions of repatriation of
prisoners of war and civilian internees, a final settlement of Jammu and
Kashmir and the resumption of diplomatic relations.
