In 1971 December India won a war against Pakistan and soon after Bangladesh became an independent country. This was a war that was not instigated or planned by India, but by the genocide that the Pakistani Army inflicted on its own citizens in East Pakistan, which was not recognised by Richard Nixon the President of the America, who was all for Pakistan and even tried to get China to intervene.
