elderly gentleman @komal wrote this answer in br forum for someone like me who thought we did not have propaganda from our side . .Because of this lack of propaganda I felt we saw certain arguments from some who assigned some scores not only here but social media per se ..I felt its a beautiful answer.. " I was around back in 1971. NYT/WaPo/CBS all declared the war a tactical win for India but a actually a huge strategic loss -- that Pakistan was a the big winner. Points that are I still remember 1) Bhutto was outstanding at the UN and ran circles around Sardar Swaran Singh 2) India would become a Soviet colony and that Russians would set up a large naval base at Vizag 3) Shorn of the SDRE in Bangaldesh the Martial Race of West Pakistan would become an economic and military powerhouse while India stagnated economically and militarily 4) The Bangladesh model would also incite the southern states of TamilNadu and Kerala to seek independence Mrs. Gandhi apparently corresponded on a regular basis with NYT columnist William Safire. He wrote that, when he was in New Delhi, she asked him something like "is there nothing that we can do to please you?" Also, she cared little about winning the propaganda battle in the US press. The Pak Ambassador Agha Hilaly would routinely go on radio and TV shows in Washington DC and compare India to Nazi Germany. Mrs. G didn't even bother having anyone in an official capacity respond.
