Mitro Bahini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mitro Bahini (Bangla: মিত্রবাহিনী) (Allied forces in Bangla) was the alliance of the Indian Army and the Mukti Bahini (as representation of the Bangladesh Army) that engaged the Pakistani forces in December 1971 during the Bangladesh Liberation War. The alliance provided the final blow to the already weakened Pakistan Army which surrendered thirteen days after the formal declaration of war.
