1971 surrender.
The guy signing from the Indian side is JS aurora.
Heavily publicised as some kind of a hero who won India the war.
Actual people who did the planning and those who did most of the work on ground like IV Corps Commander Sagat Singh just stood by watching.

He was just given responsibility to coordinate with Mukti Bahini and Sam Manekshaw regularly bypassed him to talk straight with the Chief of Staff.

1. Maj Gen Lachhman Singh
2. Lt Gen Sagat Singh
3. Maj Gen Gurbax Singh

JS Aurora angry because Times of India didnt mention his name in the "Architects of Victory" article.
The surrender picture did the publicity for later periods anyway.

JS Aurora was a severe critic of Op Bluestar.
He said
"that there were not so many sophisticated weapons" and many of those weapons were lost weapons during the 1965 and 71 wars.
RPGs,LMGs,Hand Grenades were used by Khalistanis but they were supposedly not sophisticated enough.

The infamous Shabeg Singh who when ordered to lead a force to capture Chittagong refused with a weird reason and Aurora agreeing to his refusal without any protest.
Finally,JS Aurora's lack of support to his officers against a highly agitated Sam Manekshaw berating those commanders.
One can talk about Sam Manekshaw's actual plans about 1971 war some other day.
