1965 WAR



On the early dawn of  6 September 1965 , India a sneakish aggression on the Lahore front in West Pakistan, and tried to cross the International Boundary. The Indian troops promised to take their midday meal at Lahore and the officers promised to bet up at Lahore Gymkhana. Thus on the early dawn of 6 September 1965 they overran the Ranger's Wagah Post which was 17 miles from Lahore and entered Pakistan's territory without declaring any war. They made a three pronged frontal-attack on Wagah.  Indians also attacked from the air on a passenger train at Wazirabad Railway Station.

                              This naked treacherous aggression of  India  compelled  Pakistan to accept the challenge. On the same day at 11:00 a.m. the President of Pakistan in a broadcast said,  "Now that the Indian rulers with their customary cowardise and hypocracy, have ordered their armies to march in to Pakistan's territory, with out formal declaration of war , its time to give them a crushing reply."

                               The Pakistan Army did not take long in repulsing the Indian aggression, the fought with courage, determination, devotion and dedication. They were full of thrill and emotionally stirred up. They faught till the Indians were made to run back from the sacred territory of Pakistan. War continued for seventeen days and during the time they cooled down the Indian military, they prooved that altough they were less in number they are capable of facing the difficulty and defending their mother land.            


Well Done Jawan !!! you have beaten back the enemy.

The Indian government knocked the doors of the United Nations and on 20 September 1965  the Security Council asked the governments of Pakistan and India to effect a Cease Fire from 12-30 hours on 22 September 1965.
