This is the second of the two-part story of the War of 1971. In this episode relive in detail the deadly Karachi attack by the missile boats of the Indian Navy and how in the stealth of the night Karachi harbour was devastated. From there the story moves to the East where the strategy of the Indian land forces is to bypass all major fortifications and head straight for Dacca (Then capital of East Pakistan). The role of the Mukti Bahini, the BSF and what happened when a US Nuclear Task Force entered the Bay of Bengal to create pressure on India. But what was a Soviet nuclear submarine doing tailing the Americans? All these stories from a war that culminates in the signing of the surrender document by which 93 thousand Pakistani soldiers become Indian Prisoners of War.
