In the third and final episode of Wars & Warriors: The Liberation of Bangladesh, Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam narrates the story of how the Indo-Pak War of 1971 reached its endgame. This is the story of how it was 'Game Over' for General Niazi as the Indian Army, Navy and the Air Force decisively defeated the Pakistani armed forces in the Eastern Theatre and helped create the free nation of Bangladesh out of what was until then East Pakistan.

The podcast takes us through the airborne operation at Tangail, the exploits of the INS Vikrant in the Bay of Bengal, the air strike by IAF MiG-21s and Hunters on the Governor’s House in Dacca, to the final surrender by General Niazi, who was surrounded by five brigades of the Indian Army. ‘Game Over’ is the final episode in the story of the creation of Bangladesh in December 1971.
