    Why didn't Pakistan try to wrest Kashmir from India in 1962 but tried to do so in 1965? ------------- answer -----------
    In 1962 Pakistan was not politically / diplomatically prepared to militarily annex Kashmir . In fact Pakistan was even prepared to help India to jointly face the Chinese threat ,
    Further , Pakistan was then an Alliance partner of USA .USA had directed Pakistan not to open another front against India .
    India , Pakistan , Chinese relations changed very dramatically after 1962 Pakistan under the guidance of Bhutto struck an anti India deal with China whereby , inter alia , Pakistan gifted / sold 5000 sq km plus of POK-i.e. Shaksgam Valley to China . By 1965 , Pakistan had China as an ally . Kennedy was gone in 1963 . Also , most important for Pakistan’s 1965 Indian attack decision Nehru had also died in 1964. Pakistan thought that the new Indian Prime Minister , Lal Bahadur Shastri was a weak and indecisive leader and lacked stature especially when compared to Nehru. PM Lal Bahadur Shastri ‘s weak personality image was further bolstered by PM Shastri ‘s , sort of appeasement of Pakistan in the Rann of Kutch crisis in early 1965
    Most important factor for Pakistan ‘s decision to attack India in Kashmir in1965 was that after her defeat in 1962 , India had started expanding exponentially her armed forces both in numbers and equipment. Pakistan felt that if delayed further Pakistan , which was militarily superior to India till then , would never be able to wrest Kashmir from India. So ,Pakistan attacked Kashmir calculating that a weak Indian PM would keep the war limited to Kashmir. But PM Shastri with totally unexpected resolve , bravery and decisiveness .He counter attacked Pakistan across the International Border in Punjab forcing Pakistan to withdraw its forces from the Kashmir front and to , later , accept a ceasefire

      Beautifully analysed ! Mr Nehru too committed a blunder in 1959 , by out rightly rejecting FM Ayub Khan’s proposal of Joint Defence Agreement.Mr Nehru rejected it by saying JOINT DEFENCE AGAINST WHOM! Had this agreement been accepted, it would have completely changed the whole course of history. Perhaps even Indo- China War of 1962 , might not have taken place!

    Most of the operational plans are made/ built on highly attractive and appealing assumptions, but in reality absolutely wrong assumptions which in most of our subcontinent’s environments have failed ! I agree with Mr Gupta that 1965 War was a meaningless war of mutual incompetence. Realistically speaking strategically Pakistan suffered far more than India though tactically on quite a few fronts Pakistan’s performance can be regarded as satisfactory . Pakistan also failed in exploitation of initial successes! Both sides in 3 weeks time , ran out of the Staff Colleges Pink Solutions and had to agree to a ceasefire! Material losses were huge with no substantial results.
    Most of the researchers have now arrived at the conclusion that 1965 was a blunder committed by FM Ayub Khan. Had he not gone to war with India, Pakistan would have economically and politically progressed far better in the region . It would have been totally a different history.

I notice that you never give us Indians the credit we deserve for war in 1965, as, in your view, for winning the war there has to be an objective. I feel that denying a better armed and a better trained Pakistan Army their objective itself should imply victory to India.

    Gupta ji, you start with premis that Pakistan wanted to capture Kashmir and since it did not, it lost the war. In Pakistan, we look at it that with Operation Gibralter you had your tail between your legs and had it not been for change of command (probably under American pressure) you would have lost Kashmir. India attacked across international border that is why it was the aggressor. Despite being surprised, Pakistan blunted a much larger enemy. PAF completely knocked out IAF from skies. My father commanded an infantry battalion which won 5 gallantry awards.

An army leadership, comprising a bunch of loonies, could not wargame properly and expect India to cross international border. As for the awards, in Pakistan , all generals sport a bucketful of medals on their chest, roughly proportionate to the DHA plots they knocked away!

They lost very badly in 1999. Even AMERICANS did their thing in ABOTABAD & never informed them. Even now TALIBAN is in AFG but TTP is making their life miserable. Still possibly that's the only government model which works may be. It's only time which will tell if it really works, as the Islamization may be happening at a rapid pace.

    As per Pakistanis (who replied to me on there channels, possibly taught to them in Pak. Studies ) -
    1) India lost Lahore. (Defence Day reason)
    2) India lost lots of land in Rajasthan 😵‍💫 ( Jaisalmer, Jodhpur)
    3) After LOSING Lots of Land in Rajasthan (Possibly Jaisalmer, Jodhpur), Pakistan army decided to launch attack towards India Gate, Delhi via Jaipur.
    4. (India got shit scared & proposed ceasefire, peace deal) after Pak. Army neared India gate, Delhi & also seeing lahore response.
    5. So technically we won 1965 war (Pak.) but Pak. Became internally weak and let to breakup in 1971.
    6. India lost 2x equipment vs Pakistan hence they went for Peace Deal.
    I reality -
    1) India lost more planes (50% more) because of surprise attack also technologically inferior too.
    2) Pakistan lost more territory 1900 vs 540 sq kms. Here Massive mistake of giving back Haji Pir Pass of KASHMIR was committed 10kms inside POK. Would have provided alternative route to srinagar.
    3) Local kashmiri valley residents blew cover of Pak. Infiltrators who wanted to take srinagar by force. (One of reasons why kashmir valley is still in India)
    4) Pakistan lost between 300 min. To 450 tanks (Reason for breakup of Pakistan after 6 years as it took time to replish them & put in East.)
    5) Pakistan lost more men 3800 to 6000 vs 2000 - 3000 for India.
    6) India's Military Unprofessional, Lack of Coordination between IAF, ARMY exposed when Indian Army chief gave wrong Info. About India's weapons capacity (Remaining) to Shastri (India's PM) leading to Ceasefire.
    7) Shastri ***** in Tashkent , as a result of His Peace Deal despite winning more territory. (Possible Reason, as many were against his soft response attitude throughout & loss of territory in Kutch sector).
