Recalling the Indo-Pak War of 1965
Abstract
September 23 will mark the 55th anniversary of the IndiaPakistan War fought in 1965 over the issue of Jammu & Kashmir. This was the second attempt by Pakistan to annexe Kashmir by force. Its first attempt to do so, 18 years earlier, had resulted in its defeat and retreat from most of the captured areas except what came to be called Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), and led to the intractable and emotional Kashmir problem which continues to simmer adversely affecting the relations between the two countries.
