At the outbreak of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Joint Force including regular army of Bangladesh, Mukti Bahini and the Indian Military liberated the then East Pakistan, leading to the establishment of Bangladesh. India’s role in the independence of Bangladesh led to the development of strong bilateral relations between both the countries.
