From Putting This Picture Up. Am Sure Colonel Tavthia and Malik Will Love It.
If we go by this logic, then we shouldn't celebrate independence day on the scale we do as it might hurt our erstwhile colonial masters. I also think that Diwali isnt a good idea either, Srilankans might resent our big-brotherly attitude. Liberation of Bangladesh is the only successful indian military campaign in 1000 years, so every Indian has reasons to be proud of it and flaunt it.One has to be gracious and humble in victory. In the time when we are in the process of improving the relations between the two nations, it may not be right to disucss these events.

I am not saying that we don't celebrate our independence day, but this particular picture does not represent our independence day, but that of Bangladesh's. You want to celebrate their independece day, by all means kindly do that.
I have mentioned in my post that this picture is very historic and we hope we get more opportunities like that. That does not mean that we keep bragging about it. What have we done since then? We could not even translate this great military victory into a political victory. In spite of getting Shimla Agreement signed, we could not legally prevent Pakistan from raising the issue of UN resolutioin of 1947, only because we could not draft the agreement well.
I don't want to get indulge in self praise and don't want to live on past laurals. The present is the truth and we need to improve that. History should be used to learn lessons and not to live on it.
