Re: Myth about winning 1965 War
Well, india never had had martial laws and the central govt failed to impose hindi as one language so lets accept some Pakistani positives.
As far as 65, there were blunders in army and ISI like isi having no clue about indian troop movenents until PAF (cecil choudhry?) saw ut in one of their flyovers. The OP might be over the top, but lets look at facts.
You have to remember that PAF was on a war footing after Ran of Kutch skirmishes, sO it was highly incompetent of the army tO not be PREPARED for war footing with oPeration gibraltor and its aftermath. I wOuld really want to see the suveniors as sOme indian veterans claimed that they had taken railway station cutting off sialkot and rawalpindi in Islamabad. I know of one instance where indian army captured but withdrew from pakistan thinking it was a pakistani trap when there was no pakistani unit aroubd to defend the area.
I would call it a draw as everyone went back to borders though indian allegedly captured 1200 miles of pakistani territory while 400 or so miles for pakistanis.
Of course; there is the infamous pattonnagar victory of indians over pakistani army in punjab (claimed to have captured 100 pattons). As for OP, Sindhi hurs were instrumental working with pakustani army to penetrate deep into rajisthan and even took over forts. I think that majority of pakistani gains were in the rajisthan sector.
All in all, india learned and became better while PAF still went and bought sabres when americans had embargoed them in 65. The real disgrace was 1971 where west pakistani army didn’t give a rough time to indians. I remember reading from a brigadiars book on how he was told not to care if indians came and took over parts of punjab
