'65 War: Photos and Facts

Society Military and Strategic Issues
1

**These pictures are from the book “17 September Days” by Aziz Baig. Liberty Printing Press: 1965. He was a journalist and served as the editor of Dawn. This book was much praised for it’s factual contents. No wonder a search on google with his name takes you to an Indian customs page, telling ppl that import of his book “Captive Kashmir” into India is not allowed!!!

BTW, my father served as the Proof Reader on this project. He’s got a copy of Captive Kashmir too!**

Ha HA.

This is great.

According to your own sources,

India held 240 sqkm in the Lahore-Sialkot sector vs 77sqkm by Pakistan.

The “Indian Fortress” had no name…

While my photo clearly shows the area.

Keep dreaming

From your own sources:

BBC says:

  1. Pak started the war.

  2. Even according to Pakistani claims, Pak’s “capture” included 1,200 miles of desert wasteland
    http://www.defencejournal.com/april98/wayitwas3.htm

  1. India had the strategic Haji Pir, Tithwal and according to your own book, we had 240 sqkm in the Lahore-Sialkot sector vs 77 sqkm under Pakistan.

So, you guys wanted to capture Kashmir, but ended up losing land in Lahore.

So who won?
