I am reading the whole story from pakistan army’s official website. You should also read.

The Indian forces intruded into Pakistani area in the Rann of Kutch in April 1965. In a sharp and short conflict, the Indian forces were ejected. Both the armies had fully mobilized, with eyeball to eyeball contact. Pakistan proposed cease-fire, India accepted. An agreement was signed: the forces disengaged. The Award by the Arbitration Tribunal vindicated Pakistan ‘s Position.

Past midnight on 5/6 September, without a formal declaration of war, Indian Army crossed the international border and attacked Lahore and Kasur fronts. Pakistan Army and Pakistan Air Force halted the attack in its tracks, inflicting heavy casualties on the aggressor. On 7 September a single Pakistan Air Force Pilot, Squadron Leader M.M. Alam, Sitara-i-Juraat, in his F-86 Sabre shot down five Indian Air Force attacking Hunter aircraft in a single sortie, an unbeaten world record “On night 6/7 September three teams of our Special Services Groups were para-dropped on Indian Air Force bases at Pathankot, Adampur and Halwara to neutralize them.

To relieve pressure on Lahore front, on night 7/8 September, after crossing two major water obstacles in a bold thrust, Pakistani armoured and mechanized formations supported by artillery and Pakistan Air Force overran area Khem Karn, 6 to 8 miles inside Indian territory. Vital Indian positions at Sulemanki and across Rajasthan and Sindh were also captured in bold, swift attacks.

On night 7/8 September, 1 Corps of Indian Army launched its main effort east of Sialkot with one armoured and three infantry divisions on our extended 15 Division front, screened only by gallant 3 Frontier Force and B Company 13 Frontier Force (Reconnaissance & Support). 24 Infantry Brigade (Brigadier A.A Malik, Hilal-i-Juraat) on the move in area Pasrur, rushed 25 Cavalry (Lieutenant Colonel Nisar Ahmad, Sitara-i-Juraat), on 8 September to delay and disrupt enemy thrusts. As soon as the presence of Indian 1 Armoured Division was confirmed, Pakistan Army rushed forward to stop the onslaught on a 30-mile front. The biggest tank battle since World War II was fought on the Chwinda front by 6 Armoured Division with under command 24 Infantry Brigade Groups and valiantly supported by 4 Corps Artillery (Brigadier A.A.K. Choudhry, Hilal-i-Juraat). The main effort of the Indian Army was blunted, inflicting heavy and troop casualties. Pakistan Air Force support helped turn the tide of the battle. Before a counter offensive by 6 Armoured Division on 22 September could be launched, Indian asked for cease-fire in the United Nations. India ‘s aggression against our international borders without a formal declaration of war had cost it, apart from heavy personnel, material land economic losses, 1617 sq. miles of territory as compared to 446 sq. miles of our open and undefended territory. Pakistan Army captured 20 officers, 19 Junior Commissioned Officers, and 569 Other Ranks.

Now the discussion is this why the whole british,zionist media claims that pakistan losed that war. R u shocked?

We all Knows and all neutral viewers know that india losed 110 aircrafts. And india destroyed only 20 aircrafts of pakistan.

According to wikipedia 3,000 indians was killed and 3800 pakistani soldiers lose their life and got shahadat in 1965 war. Isnt it self a prove that we killed almost same number of soldeirs of a very big army of a very big country.Why cant india reached at lahore gymkhana? why their government cease fired this war? bcz they were gonna loose. but US state department writes.

After Pakistan’s loss in the 1965 war against India, Ayub Khan’s power declined.

What’s The Reality?

Daily Times write

September 6 is memorable day in the history of Pakistan when our valiant armed forces gave humiliating defeat to the Indian army despite strategic blunders committed by high officials in conceptualising this war. This war had, therefore, two dimensions: one, incompetence of our leadership and two, tactical brilliance of our men and the kind of national response which was forged during the war. It is unfortunate that we failed to compile the history of 1965 and 1971 wars. A large number of books have been written about the 1965 war by different Pakistani and foreign authors but most of them failed to produce books that could explain the real causes of the outbreak of this war. The main reason for this failure has been that writers involved in compiling the history injected their own prejudices.

It is not very surprising that like many other issues September 6 is also controversial. Even someone like Noor Khan has said that it was a blunder on the part of Gen Ayub Khan to start the 1965 war. On April 2, 1965, India launched an attack in the Rann of Kutch and after fierce fighting the Indians retreated and a ceasefire came into effect on June 30, 1965. This short war proved Pakistan’s superiority over India. This humiliating defeat of the Indian army at the hands of the Pakistan army came under sharp criticism by members of parliament. Bhutto criticised Gen Ayub Khan and said: “If Pakistan had taken advantage of its military success in Ran of Katch and completed the operation in that sector by annihilating a complete Indian division and occupied Karim Shahi, to which it had a right, India would have regained her senses and not precipitated another conflict only five months later.”

After the humiliating defeat in Ran of Kutch and criticism by the Indian public an announcement from India came that they would fight “at a time and place of her own choice” and this warning was ignored by our rulers. Operation Gibraltar was planned but without the participation of the air and naval chiefs and the reasons for this have yet to be made public. On Sept 1, 1965, after neutralising Operation Gibraltar the Indians captured three isolated posts in the Kargil sector. They later advanced in Tithwal and Uri-Poonch areas and could threaten the Neelam valley coming down to Muzaffarabad. This was the time when Pakistan launched its counter-offensive in the Chhamb sector of Kashmir and it met with great success. On Sept 6, the Indian army crossed the international border to relieve pressure in Kashmir thus negating our notion that war would remain confined to Kashmir. Pakistan was indeed surprised.

The striking feature of this war was that one witnessed a new face of Pakistan. The unity of the nation saved the day and compensated for the incompetence of our political and higher military leadership. The recent small operation against the Taliban in Swat and Malakand has been made possible only with the cooperation of the people of Pakistan and especially of the residents of the region in question.

As for the 1965 war it remained inconclusive as Pakistan initiated hostilities and the aim was to liberate Kashmir. Going by the strict parameters of military strategy it can be termed a defeat since the envisioned aim was not realised. And the point to understand is that in spite of the military blunders our performance was superb — because the people stood with the army. We did well in 1965 because we were united; we lost in 1971 because we were divided. We are doing well in 2009 because the nation is united. Are we ready to learn from our own past history?

Definitley It is big question for us…
