Bilowgii 1971, doorashooyin lagu muransan yahay oo ka dhacay Pakistan ayaa u horseeday Bariga Pakistan inay ku dhawaaqaan madaxbannaanida Bangladesh. Cadaadiska iyo rabshadaha ka imaanaya ciidamada Pakistan ayaa sababay in 10 milyan oo qaxooti ah ay u guuraan xadka Hindiya bilaha soo socda. Ugu dambeyntii bishii December 1971, Gandhi si toos ah ayuu u dhex galay khilaafkii
in ay ka adkaadaan ciidanka Pakistan ee ku sugan Bangladesh. Hindiya ayaa ka soo baxday guusha khilaafka ka dhashay si ay u noqoto awoodda ugu weyn Koonfurta Aasiya. Hindiya waxay heshiis la saxiixatay Midowgii Soofiyeeti oo ballanqaaday inay iska caawin doonaan haddii dagaal dhaco, halka Pakistan ay taageero firfircoon ka heshay Mareykanka inta lagu gudajiray khilaafka. Madaxweynaha Mareykanka Richard Nixon shaqsi ahaan ma jecla Gandhi. Xiriirka Maraykanka wuxuu noqday mid ka fog maadaama Gandhi uu xiriir dhow la yeeshay Midowgii Soofiyeeti kadib dagaalkii. Ugu danbeyntii waxay u kortay inay noqoto lamaanaha ugu weyn ee ganacsiga Hindiya iyo alaab-qeybiyaha ugu weyn ee hubka.
