Here is an explanation to that:
Bangladesh, literally meaning “land of the Bangla (Bengali) speakers,” was born out of the civil war in Pakistan in 1971–72. Pakistan's very creation had been rooted in its claim to serve as a homeland for Muslim South Asians, but it proved unable to incorporate Muslim Bengalis into the polity. The major sources of conflict included language—Bangla bore little resemblance to the ideological, conceptual frameworks created for Urdu and Punjabi, the main languages used in the West wing—and rather different cultural understandings of the practice of Islam.
Indo-Pakistani relations deteriorated again when civil war erupted in Pakistan, pitting the West Pakistan army against East Pakistanis demanding autonomy and later independence.
The fighting forced an estimated 10 million East Pakistani civilians to flee to India.
In December India invaded East Pakistan in support of the East Pakistani people. The Pakistani army surrendered at Dhaka and its army of more than 90,000 became Indian prisoners of war.
East Pakistan became the independent country of Bangladesh on 6 December 1971.
So, would you call this an invasion. If we would have invaded that country, it would have been under our rules and regulations. But Bangladesh is an independant country now.

I wish all of these people except Azim didn't have to move to USA to achieve their dream and India provided the opportunities to them and kept them there but hay they went after their dream and achieved it in their land or foreign who cares.

I have read this before a few years ago - was sent it in an email. Even though I'm an Indian born and raised in the UK, I felt proud to read these facts and promptly forwarded them on to most people in my address book, both Indian and non-Indian and it was nice to receive back some really nice emails from various people about it. Good that you have shared this here :)

Hey, human spider,
I have a question here. To which country do you belong? What have you done for your country? Do you have a name in hot list?
It is not possible for each and every person to be on the top and famous and make their country proud. But atleast we can feel proud from what our people have done for the world and taken the country ahead.

hi Rakhii, thanks for your kind comment. And somewhat in response to the person who posted in this thread above, I would say that the thing I do to make myself proud to be an Indian is I behave in a way that people respect and admire me for. No one who knows me would say "She's a bad Indian" - hopefully they see me as a person before they see my skin colour but I think most people I come across would think of me as a positive example of an Indian person as I do my best to be good to people and as kind and helpful as possible so people can see I had a good upbringing and that I have strong values :)
