Pt. ShriRam Sharma’s Kripa :
Yugarishi’s Advent
and India’s Destiny
(Akhand Jyoti)
India too
could not remain unaffected by this freedom struggle of Bangla Desh. Those who
could not bear the prevailing fiery circumstances started fleeing the country;
and for them the natural destination was India. The number of people reaching
India went on increasing from thousands to lakhs to crores. India had to bear
the burden of feeding these refugees. Those days, the resources were meager; so
by levying extra taxes on citizens, the Indian Government was somehow managing
the situation.
Not
satisfied with the brutal torture of the people of Bangla Desh, the rulers of
Pakistan, under the compulsion of political upheaval, declared war on India.
The pressure started increasing on eastern and western borders from July 1971,
which took the shape of full-fledged war within a few weeks. Those days it
appeared that the super powers too were with Pakistan.
There was fierce fighting on both the fronts.
Within 2-3 days Pakistan’s army was losing the war and it started retreating.
When the countries friendly to the attacker sensed the marching forward of
Indian army on the Bangla Desh front, they started preparing to take the matter
to the Security Council; and USA was leading this initiative. The purpose of
such an exercise was obviously to put moral pressure on India.
USA did not stop
here. It also increased strategic pressure by ordering its Seventh Fleet to
move towards Indian Ocean. At that time it was world’s mightiest warship which
carried a fleet armed with warplanes, missiles, guns and sufficient arms and
ammunition. From strategic point of view, it was so powerful that it could
change the outcome of Indo-Pak war. At that time, Indian Navy too was not strong
enough to confidently face the might of the US naval power.
As
Indo-Pak war turned fierce, the decision in India’s favour was certain within a
week or ten days; but after the Seventh Fleet started moving towards Indian
Ocean, the circumstances took a different turn. However, suddenly news came on
the morning of 7 thDecember,
1971 that the Sleet Fleet had reversed its direction and that it was moving
away from Indian shores.

GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
