East Pakistan disappeared from the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e world map and, in its place, Bangladesh was born as a new, independent country. Of the many\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e factors that contributed to this victory in the war, an important one was the active participation of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy, starting out as a subsidiary of the Royal British Navy, grew in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e importance and power under the aegis of Lord Louis Mountbatten after Independence. With the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e efforts of dynamic officers such as Admiral S.M. Nanda, it gradually grew in terms of equipment and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e power. It took the years preceding 1971 for it to reach maturity and to contribute in a spectacular\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e manner to the war effort, such that it was instrumental in blockading both West Pakistan and East\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Pakistan. This book chronicles that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45675081728151,"sku":"9789357027700","price":387.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789357027700.webp?v=1769295519","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/guardians-of-the-seas-9789357027700","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
