The July 25 issue of Medals and Ribbons has focused on the 1965 Indo Pak War – Diamond Jubilee of that war.
The magazine articles highlight the devious designs of Pakistan to wrest Kashmir, their perspective of the war, and the impact of the war on India Pakistan relations thereafter.
The historic victory at Haji Pir, the Battles of Chhamb, Phillora, Chawinda, Dograi, Khem Karan Asal Uttar) and OP Hill have been described. My article on Asal Uttar (Grave Yard of the Patton Tank) talks about one of the greatest tank battles fought by the Indian Army and a knockout blow to the Pak 1 Armd Div.
The issue also delves into the strategic fallout of Operation Sindoor, and looks at the Offensive air operation and the Air Defence success.
An interesting comparison between life in 1965 and today throws light on lifestyle changes and choices.
