Vijay Sangrahalaya

1971 War Museum | Fort William, Kolkata

History

The 1971 war between India and Pakistan remains to be one of the most historical battles between the two nations. India faught to liberate Bangaldesh against the genocide and opression by West Pakistan. It documents the remarkable collaboration between all the wings of the Indian Army, RAW, Home, External Affairs and Defence Ministry.

Why The Museum

The 1971 war campaign by India against Pakistan is studied in military institutions across the world.

The National Defence College in Pakistan wrote, "The Indians planned and executed their offense against East Pakistan in a textbook manner. It was a classic example of thorough planning, minute coordination and bold execution". However, the new generation India isn't that aware about the valour of 1971. It paved the way for India's emergence as a military power and regional superpower. But textbook history does not mention the strategic importance of the 1971 war and stays silent about post 1947 affairs.
