The Story of Pakistan's Surrender in 1971 War

The surrender of East Pakistan has indeed been a tragic blow to the nation of Pakistan. With it Pakistan stood dismembered and the image of Armed Forces as a competent fighting force also stood shattered. Yet what was not brought into light was the gross weakness, incompetence and neglect of professional duties of senior army commanders including the ruling military junta of Yahya Khan.

Now that the Hamoodur Rehman Commission Report has been declassified (only a small part of it) we can piece together the causes and events which led to the capitulation of Army Eastern Command leading to a painfully humiliating surrender, which is perhaps the first and only public surrender in history and the subsequent creation of Bangladesh.

References to Hamoodur Rahman Supplementary Report to back up the authenticity of arguments made and the facts stated have been quoted in square brackets [pg--] where required.

Reasons of 1971 War.

Seeds of hatred and grievance were sown long ago and nurtured during the two Martial law periods.

• In selecting Urdu as the only national language, West Pakistanis neglected the rich Bengali culture.
• East Pakistanis had minimum share in Government jobs, Army, civil services and etc.
• Budget allocated for East Pakistan gradually reduced in proportion over the years following independence, development occurred in West but East Pakistan lagged behind.
• Army's prolonged involvement in counter insurgency operation throughout East Pakistan only helped to alienate local people's sympathies.

Inherent Weakness of the Pakistan Army in 1971.

• Pakistan Army Eastern Command was heavily outnumbered and was clearly not in a position to face the vastly superior Indians. It had only 4 divisions and 2 independent brigades; 2 of which lacked their services arms. Only one armored squadron was available.
• General Niazi had failed to anticipate the looming threat of an all out Indian invasion in spite of enormous Indian build up around the border and repeated warnings from GHQ. As a result no preparations were made beforehand, Niazi did not even bother to revise his battle strategy. All he did was to hastily raise two ad-hoc divisions namely 36 and 39 by committing his reserves.
• Foundations of this defeat were already laid in 1958 when army took over the country. Prolonged involvement in Martial Law duties and internal security roles had a devastating impact on the professional capabilities of top ranking officers. Their involvement in civil administration, restoration of law and order and to revive economic activity in provinces detracted them from looking after their units and formations simply because they did not have enough time left.

While learning the art of politics they gradually became distant from their primary function of soldiering.

— Extracts from page 12

• The Report accuses General Niazi for things as low as smuggling of pan and nocturnal visits to places [pg 15 ] there were other glaring cases of moral lapse among the officers posted in the highest ranks in East, which had a direct impact on qualities of leadership and determination displayed by officers in 1971. Men given such a disreputable way of life could not hardly be expected to lead the army to victory.

Pakistan Air force in 1971 War.

Pakistan Air force in the East only had a single base with a single runway. Only one squadron of 12 F-86 sabres was available and almost the same number of pilots. There was no high level radar, only a low level radar which could see up to 20 - 25 miles, thus PAF only had 4 minutes time to scramble interceptors when it received alert from low level radar. Initially PAF efficiently provided all sort of air support to Pak army during anti insurgency operations. 3 out of 12 aircraft were already down before the outbreak of war thus PAF had only 9 aircraft against India's 10 squadrons. Dhaka runway was protected by light anti aircraft artillery which had a range of 7000 ft and this was not sufficient to provide ample protection against Indian Canberra bombers, consequently Dhaka runway was extensively cratered and the Entire PAF was grounded by 6 December. All pilots were evacuated to Burma.

In all the PAF shot 11 Indian aircrafts during the 3 day combat phase from 3 - 6 December.

Blunders of Yahya Khan

Yahya Khan, Chief Martial Law Administrator at that time played a major role in aggravating the worsening political situation in East. Though under Yahya, free and fair elections were held in 1970, their results were astounding. Sheikh Mujib's Awami League had won a complete majority in East Pakistan while Bhutto's PPP had a complete majority in West Pakistan. West Pakistani politicians were not willing to accept a Bengali led government. Yahya should have honored the outcome of elections but swayed by the ill-advice of self centered West Pakistani politicians, he postponed the first national assembly session due to be held in Dhaka on 2nd March. This infuriated East Pakistanis, and subsequently violence ensued throughout the province.

Yahya also abolished the one unit system which revived provincial rivalries. In doing so he undid what was achieved with great effort.

Yahya failed to negotiate with Sheikh Mujib and declared military action on 26 March.

Flawed Military Strategy of the Pakistan Army

Operational Instruction given by Easter Command were to maintain a "forward defensive posture" by building fortresses and strong points consisting of major towns and district headquarters all around the province. These were expected to be made self sufficient in terms of logistics and men. They were also expected to act as jumping off points to attack enemy from flanks or from behind if bypassed. Dhaka was also to be converted into a fortress and defended at all costs.

Thus 25 fortresses and 9 strong points were envisaged around the border. Troops involved in the counter insurgency operation were to fall back to these fortresses in the event of Indian Invasion and were to hold the enemy with delaying actions.

The fortress concept was utterly inappropriate to counter the huge Indian invasion from all sides in the hostile conditions prevailing in East Pakistan at that time on account of following reasons.

• Their were neither enough men nor the equipment to properly man all of these fortresses. There were only 29 battalions at Niazi's disposal clearly not enough to fulfill the requirement.
• Evidence shows that these fortresses did not have protective defenses capable of withstanding armored attacks. [pg 71]
• Their were no reserves with any of the local commanders to strike the enemy from behind if bypassed.
• Due to hostile local population and Mukti bahini conducting guerrilla raids and ambushes, it was not possible that tropes could move freely in order to mutually support other fortresses or withdraw to Dhaka triangle if overpowered.
• In most cases the withdrawal was a disorderly retreat leaving weapons and equipment behind.

Big rivers posed serious hurdles in movement and while all sort of local watercraft was extended for the Indians, our troops couldn't locate their ferries when they retreated across Jamuna river!

Niazi had ordered that no retreat was to take place until 75% casualties are suffered which caused significant loss to the army. Further their were no logistical arrangements made for the troops to fall back to Dhaka if it was threatened by the enemy and consequently none of our brigades could retreat to take up the defenses of Dhaka.

Had General Niazi focused on concentrating its troops around Dhaka behind the big rivers and other natural obstacles he could have defended it for a much longer time.

The Traditional Concept

The traditional concept adopted by Pakistan army was that defense of the East lies in the West.

On 3^rd December western front was opened by Pakistan by preemptive air strikes on IAFs froward airfields. It hoped that by gaining territory on the western side it will trade it back to compensate for the territory lost in the East in an event of cease fire.

Unfortunately the delay in opening the western front and the half-hearted and hesitant manner in which it was ultimately opened only hastened the catastrophe in East. India now had the excuse to invade East and Army offensive in West could not even capture Amritsar or Jammu while the Indians had almost captured Dhaka including most of the countryside. Accepting ceasefire without significant captured territory meant nothing next to a surrender.

Events Of 1971 War, Eastern Front

On 21^st November 1971 India in collaboration with Mukti Bahni started guerrilla raids inside Pakistani territory and on 3^rd December it invaded East Pakistan in naked aggression with 7 divisions, 3 brigades and several Mukti brigades along-with with full complement of service arms.

Indians realizing the importance of Dhaka as the military and political lynch pin advanced orderly towards it from all directions by passing and avoiding confrontations by Pakistani fortresses wherever possible. Main Indian thrust came from the Eastern Sector which provided shortest possible rout to Dhaka.

By 6^th December entire PAF was grounded owing to extensive cratering of Dhaka runway by Indian bombers. The enemy had already achieved mastery of air.

On the fourth day of all out war on 7^th December major fortresses of Jessore and Jhendiah in western sector and Brahmanbaria in Eastern sector were shamefully abandoned without a fight. 107^th brigade withdrew to Khulna thus being isolated from Dhaka, while 57^th brigade after abandoning Jhendiah retreated and made no contribution to war. On 8^th December Commillia fortress was isolated by encirclement from all sides. On 9^th December 2 more fortresses of Laksham and Kushtia were abandoned. 97^th brigade remained isolated in Chittagong and made no contribution. Entire 39^th division thus disintegrated, the same day Indians had reached the Meghna river after overcoming increasingly sporadic and dispirited resistance, stage was now set for the invasion of Dhaka.

Pakistan's 14^th division could do nothing to halt the Indian advance as two of its brigades 313^th and 202^nd were trapped by encirclement in the remote town of Sylhet, while 27^th brigade stood demoralized.

Even Hilli where a determined battle had been fought was abandoned on 10^th December though elements of 205^th brigade held on to the village of Bogra till the end.

93^rd brigade retreating from Meymansingh to protect the capitol Dhaka got entangled with Indian paratroopers and disintegrated along the way.

The Final Moments before Surrender

By 14^th December Indians had reached within few miles of Dhaka, none of the Pakistani Brigade could arrive to take up the defenses of the Capitol. Only 36^th brigade (original garrison) was present.

General Niazi had been painting a desperate picture of the situation in his messages to president by sending overly exaggerated and unduly pessimistic reports. GHQ Rawalpindi however insisted to hold on to Dhaka at least until the United Nations Security Council gave its decision.

On 14^th December President sent a signal to Niazi (exact wordings quoted).

"For Governor and General Niazi from President. Governor's flash messages to me refers you have fought a heroic battle against overwhelming odds the nation is proud of you and world full of admiration. I have done all that is humanly possible to find an acceptable solution to the problem. You have now reached a stage where further resistance is no longer humanly possible nor it will serve any useful propose. You should now take all necessary measures to STOP FIGHTING and take all necessary measures to preserve the lives of all armed force personal all those from west and loyal elements meanwhile I have moved UN to URGE India to to stop hostilities in East Pakistan forthwith and guarantee the safety of all armed force and all other people likely to be target of miscreants."

This radio message was sent as unclassified and thus was clearly intercepted by the Indians. With this desperate message our weakness was thoroughly exposed both in front of Indian generals and the rest of the world. It had a very damaging impact on our case in the UN Security Council. It was difficult to see how we could expect to secure any success there with this open confession of our weakness and clear willingness to accept any terms in ceasefire. Even friendly nations could hardly help after this.

General Niazi asserts that this message was an order for him to surrender, however carefully examining the tone of this message it can be concluded that in fact Niazi was only authorized to surrender and not ordered for it (keeping in mind the exaggerated reports sent by him to GHQ) if he in his own judgement felt that it was impossible to fight.

At the time of surrender, Niazi according to his own estimates had 26,400 troops in uniform and he could have held out for no less then two weeks, as the enemy required a week to gather its forces around Dhaka and another week to reduce the fortress. He could have died a hero if he had done so but he had already lost the will to fight and had suffered a complete moral collapse. [pg 74]

Set aside his military failures he instead made history for India! by presenting a guard of honor to victorious Indian general and agreeing to surrender in public.

On 15^th December therefore, through US diplomatic channels Niazi proposed a cease fire to Indian General Manekshaw which was accepted and as we had mentioned earlier in those circumstances this equaled an unconditional surrender.

Sanjay Jadhav, Mumbai on June 28, 2015:

Though A A K Niazi proposed cease fire and Pakistan proposed cease fire in UN, Indian Brigadier Jacob, manipulated him to agree for surrender. In one interview, now available in You Tube, he claimed that he carried a draft of instrument of surrender. Under hidden threat that he can not guarantee the safety of Pakistani troops, unless they become prisoners of war and eligible for Geneva convention. Further Indian Army can not guarantee that safety of troops People of East Pakistan, unless Pakistani forces are in custody of Indian Army.

hellow every body..... my name is golden dilli wala.. this is not my real name just i have written this name because i am from Delhi and delhi is not less then gold from me it is fullfill of an ancient histories.....

this site ' the story of pakistan's surrender in 1971 war ' really a good site and I proudly say that we Indians have defeat Pakistan in 1971 and liberate Bangladesh. I have visited Bangladesh 2 times one in 2007 and another 2008, really the Bangladeshi peoples love India. The culture and language of Bangladesh and our West Bengal Kolkata ex-calcutta are 100% same there is No difference between them. They both call themselves Bengalis. I visited the Dhaka and Chittagong museums, they were fullfil with memories of Bangladesh liberation war of 1971. i am not muslim nor hindu or sikh but i hate all muslim peoples. Even i also hate muslims living in my country india. because muslims are crazy and silent-devils, you will find them innocent but they are devil by their heart and mind. But Bangladeshi people are different from other muslim peoples.

i have read a debeatable comments of my indian brother pramod gokhale and pakistani friend from k s a. i hate muslims but not the countries or nations or any once culture. i still hope that indians and pakistanis should live friendly.

both countries are fighting for kashmir region since 1948 because of their own claims and view on this beautiful regions. we indians have strong claim that kashmir is the most sacred region for hinduism and buddhism. pakistanis claim that kashmir is a muslim majority state and that pakistan is incomplete without kashmir that's why they want to join kashmir with them.

mr from k s a we indians are not accepting our neighbours !!

no ! that's wrong. india wants very peaceful and friendly relations with its neighbour i.e pakistan or bangladesh or myanmar or nepal or china etc.

mr from k s a specially claimed that we indians are not accepting Pakistan or Pakistani controlled part of kashmir. no that's wrong ! we accept Pakistan as our neighbour country as well as all provinces, states, ethnics, culture of Pakistan. but Pakistanis must also accept our states, culture and all over jammu & kashmir as a part of India...

Sure ! We must solve our Problems and we don't need any foreign interfare to solve our problems.

We must also start free road-link in both countries ( I mean that any Pakistani family can travel without fear in the roads of India aa well as any Indian Family can travel without fear in the roads of Pakistan ).

Because there are some practical stories in my knowledge. Few years ago My friends Visited India. When they went to long drive on highway the Police caught them and ask them from where you are ? they said: PAKISTAN. Police said show us your Passport and visa. They showed Pakistani Passports and Visit-Visa taken from Indian embassy Islamabad.

My friends told me that they hear the 2 Police officers were saying. Arrest these Pakistani boys. Put them on Jail and make a case on them that they are ISI Agents or Pakistani terrorist. But their guards advised them NO SIR! we can't do that if we will do Their Pakistani Embassy will search them. It will be to long-topic and problem for us. so the police leave them.

LIKE THIS MISUNDERSTANDING SHOULD BE FINISHED BY BOTH COUNTRIES.

In Nov 2012 when your Punjab's chief minister Badal Singh visited PAKISTAN and meet with our Punjab's chief minister Mohammed Shahbaz Sharif. The agreement was signed that we can trade in eachothers Punjab and other states/provinces. I hope their will be no more misunderstanding between us.

Sir,

I worked in Middle east as blue coollar worker and have Pakistani friend circle and room mates. Everbody was happy and enjoyed.

Indian subcontinent is actaully powerful bloc which balance the world.

If you do not mind, there is a scheme to connect Iran- Vietnam road and railway link to do trade and commerce, but Pakistan and Mynamar are only have shown reservation but in future deadlock will be cleared, if it happpens then we do not need help form European, other developed nation. We will have palenty of resources and self help will do.

WE ARE NOT WHITES AND NOT MONGOLEANS, WE MUST UNITE TO SURVIVE, CAN NOT BE DICTATED BY OTHERS.

From K. S. A on August 31, 2014:

You have No Right to Target Our Government and Our History. I told you before may be you did not get. Your Government is teaching you lie about PAKISTAN and KASHMIR .

For Your Kind information We Didn't Occupied the Kashmir. This is Your an Indian-made theory that in 1948 Pakistan Occupied the Kashmir and based the terrorist camps and sending jihadis on the other side of LoC which you call J & K and we call Indian-occupied Kashmir.

Government of Pakistan and Pakistani people Solidly reject your those Foolish Claims and we Call those claims ' Indian False Claims '.

Now You are asking me Why Pakistan did not Liberate whole Kashmir. My Friend first read the history what happens during 1947 partition how the British make their Evil-plan and gave some Pakistani areas to India that India could reach Kashmir and Occupy it. The Kashmir You got is Not your success but it was a British support to you.

On 16 August 1947 British Government stopped supplying to Pakistan Army both side in West and East Pakistan. But they keep going to supply weapons to you. Officially they Forcliy draw an International Map in which some Pakistani areas and J & K was Shown to India, and India is still following that Fake map until today. Wow! even you are Not using your own sense you are following that old british guide.

And Don't worry soon you will LOSE Kashmir. ( NOW DON'T SAY US THAT THIS IS YOUR DREAM ).

Pakistan is NOT using imported weapons. We buy some Weapons from USA and CHINA. But it dosent mean that we are weak country! Don't think about us like you. Pakistan himslef is making weapons and exporting it to some Arab states and Srilanka, malaysia, turkey, Bangladesh etc.

First Wash/Clean Your Brain about PAKISTAN, Indians Like you are sperading that 'Pakistan is Failed nation. Soon u will find who is failed nation.'

Thanks..

From K S A on August 31, 2014:

MR. pramod gokhale

We will Only listen to Our Government ! We will believe on our History. NOT on Your hypocrite claims or Your Fake Histories.

You INDIANS have a Negative and Criminal View about PAKISTAN and KASHMIR.

You Write " You say that you occupied Kashmir then why did n't liberated fully when you boast best army in the world ".

My Friend, I Didn't say that we Occupied Kashmir. ( That is Your Indian-Made History that Pakistan has illegaly Occupied Half Kashmir & Pakistan has based a Terrorist camps on its Controlled Kashmir to attack on another side Kashmir ). ' Our Pakistani Government and Peoples Reject Your Those Claims as a False Claim of India '. We Have Liberated Half Kashmir from Your Illegal Indian Occupation in 1948. Just wait for a time ! Soon we will Liberate the Whole Kashmir. You make DHAKA a dark-symbol for Pakistani forces in 1971. Soon SRINAGAR will be Dark-Symbol for your Indian Occupation forces. FOREVER and FOREVER. We will Kick Out all Cruel Indian Occupation forces from J & K ( Indian-Occupied Kashmir ). ( Now Don't say that this is Your dream ).

We PAKISTANIS Trust on God's Will, We Believe on his Mighty Power.

You also Write " Still you have chance to liberate Kashmir with imported weapons and your own indigenous " .

The whole world know that India is the Great Dealer of weapons from western states. Why you are joining PAKISTAN with western countries they are not supporting us much as they are supporting you too much in defence, economic etc. If PAKISTAN is getting some Help from USA or CHINA or from other countries why you feel Jealousy. You go get help from your friend countries. We have No objection on that !

Thank You.

Sir,

Your government taught fabricated history. You say that you occupied Kashmir then why did n't liberated fully when you boast best army in the world. 1971 war they had ammunition to continue war for 6 months in east Pakistan, But Pakistani army surrendered en mass. You can tell hundred of stories . Have you liberated Kashmir? when? Late. .Z A.Bhutto vowed to fight India 1000 years to liberate Kashmir. Alas he is no more to fight.

Still you have chance to liberate Kashmir with imported weapons and your own indigenous? weapons . great army you can achieve. i think

thank you for enriching my knowledge about Kashmir war and Pakistan!!!

* Your View Has always show that you Never accepted Your Neighbour Countries.

*You Wrote that PAKISTAN did Not win 1965 war !! 96% Indians are claming that and Every Pakistani is Laughing on that Claim. Can You prove us that PAKISTAN did not win a 1965 war. Wait ! I will prove you it is recorded in history that on 6 September 1965 Indian Army gathered on PAKISTAN'S Border and start attacking on the villages of PAKISTANI province PUNJAB. Specilally on LAHORE Region, SIALKOT Region, OKARA Region, RAHIM YAR KHAN Region. PAKISTAN ARMY also replied you they attack on AMRITSRAR, FEROZPUR, JAISALMER'S Regions ( But only that region where Indian Armies Bases were made to attack on PAKISTAN, Not on Population ) .

* SIKKH Reigement ! Known as Indian army's Most Brave reigement. More then 400 SIKH Soilders surrender to PAKISTAN ARMY by saying " Why we will fight with PAKISTAN, What PAKISTAN has done with us ? Many of Our Sikh Gurus were born in the Land of PAKISTAN. We both are Speaking same Languages the PUNJABI " . Read Carefully the truth about 1965 war You will Discover the Crimes and Devil-Conspiracy of Your Indian Government and army.

*You Wrote that PAKISTAN did Not win a war in JAMMU & KASHMIR in 1948 is a Very Funny and Stupid claim. In Your Country the truth is Hidden about KASHMIR by your government. I have seen the Map of India in an indian book. The Whole J & K is shown to India ! Even the PAKISTAN-CONTROLLED part of JAMMU & KASHMIR are shown to INDIA. Why ? Why Your government, electronic media, education department are hiding the Georaphically & Phsically truth about J & K from your people.

* If PAKISTAN did not Liberated any Part of J & K then how did the LOC is made in the Center Part of J & K ? Then where did PAKISTAN get Northern Areas of J & K ' GILGIT-BALTISTAN ' and South-western Part ' AZAD KASHMIR '

* Maharaja of Kashmir was Nothing ! He did Not ask any wish or view of Kashmiri people that whom they would like to join India or Pakistan.

British government was full supporting India for Kashmir even they gave some PAKISTANI Districts to India (Gurdaspur, Pathankot) that Indian Occupation forces can reach on J & K.

* You also wrote that You are proud that Your country was never under military regimes. Read Your history GANDHI Family and Your Other Corrupted Leader what have they done with your Country. You accept or Not

pramodgokhale from Pune( India) on August 29, 2014:

I have read your writing. 1965 war was not won by Pakistan and after 20 days there was ceasefire , agreed by both sides. Pakistan has spent ammunition within 15 days, Pakistan could not liberate Kashmir despite advance weaponary from USA if it is so then why they agree for truce, they could have continued war but it did not happen. . 1948 also, Nehru's mistake we could not respond to Maharaja of Kashmir in time and Nehru took Kashmir to UNO and war was stopped and / territory remained with Pakistan forcibly occupied.In 1971 war East Pakistan was liberated from Pakistani military junta and their torture and massacre of Bangladeshi. Bangladesh was formed, India intervened when millions of bengali refugees entered India and it became India's problem.On 3 rd December Gen Yahakhan declared war and om 17 th December Dacca fallen and Pakistani army surrendered . I was young and i experienced this war and USA, England and France were about attck India to rescue Pakistani army in East Pakistan but presence

Russian navy , they did not.

Friend our economy was bleeding because of these wars and it is western plot to damage India. Pakistan is under control of military and they do not want peace for their own survival. international aid was diverted for Arms purchase.poor Pakistanis are suffering. Pakistan is an international fraud.

India is democratic nation and never was under military regimes and secular and peace loving masses.
