Pakistani Army could not hold on to the gain made initially in the 1965 war, they had USA and China's backing then with the most modern weapon systems one can have "¦ Pakistanis thought they will have a cake walk considering the low morale of the Indians after the 1962 fiasco"¦ All fell flat with counter offensive from Indians to very heartland of Pakistan's territory"¦

"Pakistan claims to have destroyed something like 1/3rd the Indian Air Force, and foreign observers, who are in a position to know say that Pakistani pilots have claimed even higher kills than this; but the Pakistani Air Force are being scrupulously honest in evaluating these claims. They are crediting Pakistan Air Force only those killings that can be checked from other sources."

1965 War, the Inside Story by R.D. Pradhan:

In Chapter 8 titled "Of Cowardice and Panic", the author describes the cowardice of Maj. Gen. Niranjan Prasad, the Indian general commanding officer in Lahore sector. When the general was fired upon by Pakistani forces, he "ran away". "On learning that, Lt. Gen. Harbakash Singh and the corps commander drove in a Jonga to the battlefront. Army commander found that the enemy (PAF) air attack had created a havoc on G.T. Road. (Indian) Vehicles were burning and several vehicles of 15 Division abandoned on the road, the drivers having run away, leaving some of the engines still running. Maj. Gen. Niranjan Prasad was hiding in a recently irrigated sugar cane field. As described by Harabakash Singh: "He (Prasad) came out to receive us, with his boots covered with wet mud. He had no head cover, nor was he wearing any badges of his rank. He had stubble on his face, not having shaved." Seeing him in such a stage, Harbakhash Singh asked him: "Whether he was the General Officer commanding a division or a coolie? Why had he removed badges of rank and not shaved? Niranjan Prasad had no answer."

Pradhan's book contains many different entries by Indian Defense Minister Y.B. Chavan. A Sept 9, 1965 entry reads: Had a very hard day on all fronts. Very fierce counter-attacks mounted and we are required to withdraw in Kasur area. COAS was somewhat uncertain of himself. I suggested to him that he should go in forward areas so that he will be in touch of realities. He said he would go next day.

In Line of Duty: A Soldier Remembers, Lt Gen Harbakhsh Singh reveals that not only did Gen Chowdhury play a very small role in the entire campaign, he was so nervous as to be on the verge of losing half of Punjab to Pakistan, including the city of Amritsar. Harbakhsh describes, in clinical detail, how our own offensive in the Lahore sector had come unhinged. The general commanding the division on Ichchogil canal fled in panic, leaving his jeep, its wireless running and the briefcase containing sensitive documents that were then routinely read on Radio Pakistan during the war. Singh wanted to court martial him, Chowdhury let him get away with resignation.

According to Shekhar Gupta, the editor of Indian Express, Harbkhash Singh recounts that a bigger disaster struck a bit to the south where the other division cracked up in assault, just as it encountered a bit of resistance. Several infantry battalions, short on battle inoculation, deserted and Singh gives a hair-raising account – and confirmation of a long-debated rumor – that Chowdhury panicked so badly he ordered him to withdraw to a new defensive line behind the Beas, thereby conceding half of Punjab to Pakistan. Singh describes the conversation with Chowdhury at Ambala where he refused to carry out the order, asking his chief to either put it down in writing or visit the front and take charge of the battle.

The London Daily Mirror reported in 1965:

"There is a smell of death in the burning Pakistan sun. For it was here that India's attacking forces came to a dead stop.

"During the night they threw in every reinforcement they could find. But wave after wave of attacks were repulsed by the Pakistanis"

"India", said the London Daily Times, "is being soundly beaten by a nation which is outnumbered by four and a half to one in population and three to one in size of armed forces."

In Times reporter Louis Karrar wrote:

"Who can defeat a nation which knows how to play hide and seek with death".

"For the PAF, the 1965 war was as climatic as the Israeli victory over the Arabs in 1967. A further similarity was that Indian air power had an approximately 5:1 numerical superiority at the start of the conflict. Unlike the Middle East conflict, the Pakistani air victory was achieved to a large degree by air-to-air combat rather than on ground. But it was as absolute as that attained by Israel.

" the average PAF pilot is almost certainly possessed of superior skills when compared with, say, an average American pilot. As to those who are rated above average, they compare favorably to the very best."

"Pakistan's air force gained a remarkable victory over India in this brief 22 day war exploiting its opponents weaknesses in exemplary style - Deeply shaken by reverse, India began an extensive modernisation and training program, meanwhile covering its defeat with effective propaganda smoke screen.

To prove its air superiority, PAF put its entire fleets on show for inspection after BOTH of the wars in presence of world dignitaries and aviation community. The five times bigger IAF should have been able to annihilate the tiny PAF to prevent such displays.

One of your brave General Shahib [Ayub] promised that he will reach Delhi in 24 hrs with his tanks and the big talk of two consecutive blows on India's face will make India run away from Kashmir... but you see the brave Pakistanis were at the end as you claimed fighting heroically at the Lahore sector to save their home... The same lahore was saved by the Bengalis / East Bengal regiment and Gen Zia ur Rahman played an important role there... the same man who saved the brave punjabis was the man to declared independence of Bangladesh few yesrs later...

Pakistan then had the advantage of blessings of USA and other western countries with money , trainings and equipment that India did not... India just came out of the 62 fiasco or loss the moral was down then ... China just offered you a joint attack on India in 63 / 64 to get Kashmir which Ayub was so over confident of doing it himself... as if Indian are pushovers and as taught in his history books that Hindus are Cowards and Muslims are brave...

65 war for Pakistan was a failure to achieve objectives... so it is useless of talking of heroism ... how we bravely saved our house / land from Indian...

Every war you will find instances of poor leadership at battle front... be it any war... there was in the Indian side so too in the Pakistani side...

Pakistani cowardice few years later is un parallel in modern warfare ... rest we all know...

For a change get the interview of the Air Marshal (R) Asghar Khan on 1965 War with India...

And quarter of your airforce had turned into spare parts.... bases like pathankot,ambala etc were under rubble... and your own generals were literally shitless..

I also heard the news from Pakistan radio stations during the 1965 war stating that Pakistan Army has marched in to Ludhiana but we could not find a single soldier of your Army. Your dumb ass Generals para dropped over 150 men who were found hiding in the sugar cane field. The farmers took care of most of them that is what your Government will not tell you.
All the history is self created to make it look good in the eyes of Pakistan's citizens.
