Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on 16 December in India, marking the country's victory over Pakistan in a 13-day-long war in 1971.
A total of 93,000 Pakistani soldiers had surrendered on 16 December 1971 before Indian Army Commander Lt Gen Jagjit Singh Arora in Dhaka.

Thousands of Indian soldiers had lost their lives in the war, and the day is observed to pay tributes to them.
