💨 Abstract

Former Indian diplomat Chandrashekhar Dasgupta's book, India and the Bangladesh Liberation War, asserts that Indian policymakers aimed for a peaceful transition to democracy in Pakistan, not its disintegration, until March 1971. The book argues that India sought to end the Bangladesh liberation war before the end of the year to avoid Chinese intervention or a UN-imposed ceasefire.
