Surrender of Pakistan

The term "Surrender of Pakistan" generally refers to a historical event in 1971 when Pakistan faced a critical military defeat during the Bangladesh Liberation War. After intense conflict, Pakistani forces in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) surrendered to the allied Bangladeshi Mukti Bahini and Indian forces, leading to the independence of Bangladesh. This surrender marked a significant turning point, ending nearly two decades of political and military struggles that split Pakistan into two separate nations. It symbolized the loss of East Pakistan and a major shift in regional politics, fostering calls for self-determination and independence among oppressed groups.
