Ok so this is a operational review issued by the Bangladesh Forces Headquarters in September 1971 which provides their assessment of their capabilities

“it can be broadly said that though we have inflicted a degree of damage on the enemy, it is FAR SHORT of what we should have achieved.

In fact, from the study of the sitreps a POSITIVE DECLINE in our war effort and success becomes evidently clear.”

No denying that there was incorrect analysis by Agencies that guys were Pak army not jihadis (mind u a dispatch does mention Pak troops are operating alongside) but that doesn't mean army is blameless. What excuse can u offer for building zoos? Sab ke according dusre ki galti hai

October 1998 report literally mentions the phrase a "limited swift offensive threat with possible support of alliance partners".

Breaking an infantry square using cavalry was a near impossible warfare b/w 1700-1850.Even Napoleon's cav was anhhilated at Waterloo

Some notable instances I found in the India:
1) Murari Rao Ghorpade personally breaking through a French square with just 15 men (9 of whom died) 2) Maratha cavalry breaking a British square wiping out the entire detachment somewhere after the Siege of Trichinopoly in 1751
