Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The Bangladesh War of Independence or the Bangladesh Liberation War refers to an armed conflict between West Pakistan now Pakistan and East Pakistan now known as Bangladesh that lasted for roughly nine months in 1971. The war resulted in Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan.

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had concluded that instead of taking in millions of refugees, it was economical to go to war against Pakistan. As early as 28 April 1971, the Indian Cabinet had asked General Manekshaw to go into East Pakistan. Hostile relations in the past between India and Pakistan added to India’s decision to intervene in Pakistan’s civil war. Resultantly, the Indian government decided to support the creation of a separate state for ethnic Bengalis by supporting the Mukti Bahini.
