| যুদ্ধ চলাকালে ভারতীয় সশস্ত্র বাহিনীসমূহের উদ্দেশ্যে আকাশবাণী বেতারে প্রচারিত প্রধানমন্ত্রী ইন্দিরা গান্ধীর বাণী[১] | ‘ইয়ার্স অফ এণ্ডীভার’ | ১০ ডিসেম্বর, ১৯৭১ |
VICTORY WILL BE OURS
YOU ARE FIGHTING with courage to defend our freedom and honor. The entire country admires you. Our people are with you. The people of all region, all languages, all religions, all political parties are united as never before. They are as determined as you to defeat the aggressor. They are imbued with boundless faith in their cause and in your capacity to meet any challenge.
The enemy has raised the false and pernicious cry of a religious war. The people of Bangladesh, who are overwhelmingly Muslims, have given a fitting reply to the military rulers of Islamabad.
You and we are fighting in defense of the great principle that the people of all religions are equally our brothers. We are defending the great ideals of equality and brotherhood, which are the life and blood of our democracy, Bharat means not only the fields, hills are rivers which make up our country, not only the 560,000 villages and towns, not only the 550 millions of people, but the ideals of tolerance and respect for higher morality which the very mention of India has evoked for 30 centuries.
Fight well, my countrymen. Victory will be ours.
