Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has drawn criticism after commemorating December 16 as India’s victory in the 1971 war through a Facebook post, without mentioning Bangladesh. The date holds profound significance for Bangladesh as Victory Day, marking the nation’s independence after the Liberation War.

Many Bangladeshis and social media users expressed disappointment, arguing that the post overlooks Bangladesh’s central role, sacrifices, and the millions who suffered during the war. Critics say presenting the day solely as India’s victory risks diminishing Bangladesh’s history and the meaning of December 16 for its people.
