GUWAHATI: Vijay Diwas was celebrated with traditional Military decorum and fanfare at the Trishakti Corps at Sukna, West Bengal, on 16 December 2020 to commemorate the victory of the Indian Army over Pakistan in the Indo-Pak war of 1971. This resulted in the creation of the country of Bangladesh.
Notably, the 1971 India – Pakistan War was a landmark victory for the nation, as well as its Armed Forces and is celebrated as VIJAY DIWAS every year.
The historic Military victory resulted in Pakistan ceding control of then East Pakistan, thus paving the way for the birth of the sovereign nation of Bangladesh.
