People forget pattonagar from the same war that had Chawinda. it was a draw with everyone going back to ceasefire line, so move along chauvinists. There is internet out there for the unbiased.

I would consisder the 47-48 war a ‘win’ since india had the military advantage, yet Pakistan still kept azad kashmir even if poonch and srinagar were not taken in the end.

Gilgit area Scouts revolted on their own and that region also asked to merge with pakistan after few months of independence.

Now that is victory!!!

The most neutral consensus had always been that war was a draw, with Pakistani side claiming moral victory for successfully defending itself against a much powerful enemy.

Now suddenly we have a breed of trolls who suddenly want to call 1965 a ‘terrible defeat’. Yes, 1971 was a terrible defeat because you lost a chunk of your country but how was 1965 was a defeat when Indians failed to achieve their objectives of capture your key city?

Take a trip down the Indo-Punjab border, and are you telling me if Pak Army was so weak and useless, and India being 7xs their size, they would not have captured all those villages and towns if they so could?
