surely Arnab has heard of the political realism and the fact that all states act in their self interest.
From the "right" PoV. Calculated mass murdering of hundreds of thousands of armless civilians to squash and silence an entire society - what West Pakistan was doing in 1971 - was the wrong thing. Legitimate and deep-seated aspiration for national autonomy or independence - what the Bengalis of all layers in East Pakistani society was showing (as evidenced by the results of the first ever democratic election held in Pakistan in 1970) - was the right thing.

India's actions in 1971 aligned with the right side of things.
