I’m reading about the 1971 war and keep seeing it described in two ways: as the Bangladesh Liberation War and as the India-Pakistan War. Both labels seem relevant, but they emphasize different parts of what happened.
How do historians weigh the independence movement in East Pakistan, the refugee crisis, and the military campaign between India and Pakistan when explaining the conflict? Is it misleading to separate the liberation struggle from the interstate war, or does that distinction help make sense of the events?
