Battle of Hilli - Wikipedia

Although the bloody battle could not be won without the bloodletting and sacrifice by the Mukti Bahini, an overwhelmingly large part of whom went unrecognized in the annals and records of the Indian Army, the Mukti Bahini commander rejected his award.
This undermining of Bangladeshi freedom fighters is typical of Indian Army historical records of that whole war, who falsely claimed it as their "victory" against Pakistan, undermining the contribution of Mukti Bahini Militias and various former EPR units and various East Bengal Regimental units. 1st East Bengal Regiment - Wikipedia.
Major Quazi Nuruzzaman was awarded Bir Uttom, the second-highest award for individual gallantry in Bangladesh, but he rejected it as thousands of Mukti Bahini volunteers, though achieving shaheed status - did not receive any recognition by either Mujib's govt. or the Indians.
Wait, pakistan and bangladesh have fought before?
