There were radios. Both Indians and Bakis had access to BBC broadcasts. In fact my parents tell me that it was only through BBC radio that they came to know the extent of Baki atrocities in Bangladesh, especially on Hindus. AIR was silent on the subject as directed by IG sarkaar. Every house in the subcontinent had a radio or access to someone who did.I believe in 71 there was no social media or twitter or youtube. Hence they could not access the other news.
But in the age of information if India lack behind promoting Indian propaganda of psywar and infowar on Porkis then its little sad.
The photos of Baki surrender were splashed in all newspapers.
The fact remains that Bakis are delusional to the extent that whatever you do, they'll refuse to accept anything that goes against their ingrained beliefs. Three quarters of them refused to believe that OBL was living and killed in Abbottabad, despite all the proofs in the world.
Do you know they still believe that India did not win 1971 because
a) Bangladesh emerged as an independent country and did not join India as another state in the union, thus, the do quami nazariya was validated
b) India returned all the captured territory in West Pakistan (except Turtuk and some other parts along LoC), so Pakistan survived (East was never Pakistan anyway) and have since emerged as an Atmi quwwat.
Despite their denials, world media has come around to the fact that WE did carry out surgical strikes and that Bakis were caught napping.
