Re: 6th September 1965 - A neutral perspective
That was my point the Indians panicked at the losses they were suffering in chamb jorian and having failed to contain the Pak army there they wanted to open other fronts in order to divided the Pak army which they outnumbered and out gunned. So it was India who crossed the International border and wanted to capture Lahore but failed. As for BD saga India took advantage of a civil war, purely of Pakistan’s own making, Pakistan would have done the same if the roles were reversed so no strategic planning by India there.
pak should have done the same to India during the 1962 India/China war and walked into Kashmir at that time. Grave mistake by Pak there.
