The war happened between Bangladesh and Pakistan. There was never a war in 1971 between India and Pakistan. I can send links if you want proof of that. Many of us(family members) fought in the war. It was a liberation war of east Pakistan Present Bangladesh. Please edit it. 213.31.232.197 (talk) 07:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

 Not done Please read the article properly, this was a 13 day war which formed part of the nine month long Bangladesh Liberation War. - Arjayay (talk) 08:40, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 22 August 2021

This edit request to Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

There's a spelling mistake in the infobox, which says "Chhamb" instead of "Chamb." The link is also broken, so could someone make it link to Battle of Chamb and correct the spelling mistake? Cipher21 (talk) 08:06, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 Partly done: Broken link corrected. However, according to one of the sources (), and Battle of Chamb, it seems the territory was indeed called "Chhamb". So I've left the name unaffected. —Sirdog (talk) 10:26, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Supportive nations removal

Why editors removed supportive nations from belligerents section? 122.174.33.58 (talk) 05:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Please help me (lol). Please other editor do this edit at earliest. --Contributers2020 05:20, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
bel·lig·er·ent, noun, "A state or other armed participant in warfare". Infoboxes are terrible places to describe things that are complex. The combatants parameter of {{Infobox military conflict}} is best for listing the countries whose forces took part in the conflict. Lesser degrees of supportiveness such as any from Russia, the US, the UK, etc., are better explained in the text of the article, and should cite high quality sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 11:32, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Worldbruce Umm, Russia was a armed participant in the war with have sent submarines to it. USA and Britain, as well, sent submarines and air fighters to help Pakistan win the war. I don't really see how it is complex. It is just like the Provision government of Bangladesh (at that time) was supporting India. --Contributers2020 17:06, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
1) it doesn't matter what your personal opinion is, all that matters is what the Reliable Sources provide, and 2) belligerents are those that do the actual fighting - suppliers of weapons and/or intelligence materials are NOT 15:01, 9 November 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.45.222 (talk)

Territorial changes

Both sides captured territory across the international border, which was subsequently returned in the Simla Agreement. This has been omitted for some reason, but I'm going to add it to the article. I also propose moving the specific areas captured to the casualties section of the infobox. Cipher21 (talk) 07:35, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Existing infobox touched on that aspect with brevity, Gyan publishing house does not measure up to the standards expounded in WP:RS. Kerberous (talk) 08:20, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
No, the existing infobox suggests only India captured territory which is POV pushing. If you object to a source, you don't undo every revision since it was added, unless you're suggesting other RS like NYT are unreliable. Cipher21 (talk) 09:30, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
As a matter of fact, that news report does not state that Pakistan captured Indian territory across the international border. You are risking sanctions by deliberately misrepresenting sources. Kerberous (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
