In 1972, India and Pakistan signed the Simla Agreement, a peace treaty.
The Simla Agreement, also known as the Shimla Agreement, was a peace treaty signed on July 2, 1972, in Shimla, the capital of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It began after India intervened in East Pakistan as an ally of Bengali rebels fighting against Pakistani state forces in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. The Indian intervention proved decisive in the war, resulting in East Pakistan's separation from West Pakistan and the birth of Bangladesh as an independent country.
