Who really won the 1965 India-Pakistan war? More than six decades later, the answer remains more complicated than the competing victory claims made by India and Pakistan. The 22-day war began with Pakistan’s Operation Gibraltar and its attempt to alter the status quo in Kashmir. After the infiltration failed to trigger the expected uprising, Pakistan launched Operation Grand Slam. India responded by opening a new front across the international border towards Lahore. This explainer examines how the war began, the major battles, the ceasefire, the Tashkent Declaration and why the outcome cannot be understood simply as a victory for either side. #1965War #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaPakistan #IndoPakWar Thank you for watching our video!
