1965 War

Care to elaborate on these Afghan 'hoards' are we talking Durranesque invasion of Delhi or a Ghaznavi style sacking?

Speaking of the 1965 War, I blame Bhutto. ZAB was intimately involved in the STUPID invasion of Kashmir, his political career was furthered with the signing of Tashkent, and he promptly resigned and removed himself from Ayub's government to disassociate himself politically.

Pakistan's upward economic trajectory was greatly harmed by this meaningless conflict. In fact, Pakistan should have hit in 1962 when the Chinese were fully engaging the Indians on several fronts.
