India, it had said, 'has launched an all-out offensive against East Pakistan without a formal declaration of war.' That charge proved to be false; it was not a full-fledged war?yet. On the other hand, it was certainly not a trifling skirmish, as Indian spokesmen at first euphemistically described...
