It was not a mere "positive" thing for us. Helping a kid on the street is a "positive" thing.

Helping a nation gain independece has infinitely larger significance. It was an absolutely ESSENTIAL thing for us.

You really do not understand the momentous nature of what happened in 1971, do you? Nitpicking about India's genuine intentions during 1971 is probably the last thing a history-aware Bangladeshi should do.
