Vijay Diwas is observed annually on December 16 to honour the Indian armed forces' victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war. The 13-day intense battle resulted in India’s decisive win, leading to the creation of Bangladesh as an independent nation. This day also pays tribute to the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers during the conflict. In Bangladesh, this day is celebrated as ‘Bijoy Dibos’ or Victory Day, marking their independence from Pakistan. Vijay Diwas serves as a reminder of India’s military strength and the successful culmination of the war.
