30 March 1971

On 30 March 1971, a significant event known as the Bangladesh Liberation War escalated when India intervened militarily to support the independence movement of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) against West Pakistan (present-day Pakistan). This conflict followed periods of political and cultural tension, culminating in a swift and intense war that led to the creation of Bangladesh as an independent nation. The day marked a pivotal point in South Asian history, illustrating the struggle for self-determination and the complex political dynamics involving India and Pakistan during that period.
