Why Indian Army and Pakistan Army Failed in 1965 War
ForewordMajor (retd) Agha Humayun Amin is a rare type of army officer. He is a philosopher, debater and a very keen scholar of military affairs. His writings are prolific. He does not hesitate to call into question received wisdom and dares to explode sacred myths behind which military establishments generally hide their blunders and failures. I have benefited a great deal from his scholarly contribution on the Pakistan Army and have cited and quoted him in my book, Pakistan: The Garrison State – Origins, Evolution, Consequences (1947-2011). I particularly found his work very useful to understand the Kashmir War of 1947-48 and the 1965 war. I am therefore truly privileged to note that he h...

Intelligence Review
1-Operation Blue Star by Dr . Hamid Hussain 2- Threat Perception Pakistani Baluchistan with detailed maps 3-Book Serialisation-Chapter Three Transformation of Jihad into Taliban Afghanistan 4-Book Serialisation-Chapter Three Drones, Jihad and Causes of US Deaths-Exploring Myths of US Afghan War Charisma and power comes when a man sells his soul and works for some one.No tribute to Mulla Omars personality.The very word Mulla signifies a mans lowest social status in Pashtun society. A large part of what analysts like Riedel now define as Islamic terrorism was created by the CIA in its notorious partnership with ISI and CIA in 1980-90. While the US abandoned Afghanistan and Pakistan in the period 1990-2001, the Pakistani ISI saw Afghanistan as a giant training camp to train ISI proxies for the war in Indian occupied Kashmir.Thus the rise of the Taliban from 1994 to 2001. American policy makers were simply sleeping during this period and today the Americans are simply paying the price for their naive complacency.
Battle of Chamb 1971
The 23 Division was the only formation whose performance was appreciated even by the enemy.Thus the following was the opinion of various Indians about the war performance of 23 Division and General Eftikhar:-"Major General Iftikhar Khan, the Divisional Commander, showed skill and determination in carrying out his misison. (58) "The enemy commander showed commendable flexibility. Having achieved surprise by using the northern approach, he switched to the south when he found himself firmly checked at Mandiala crossings" (59)"The permanent loss of tactically and economically valuable territory on the west bank of Munawar Tawi was the most serious reverse suffered in the 1971 war" (60)In the Sec...
1965
In 1965, while India was still licking its wounds from the disastrous war against the Chinese in 1962, the belligerent Pakistanis decided to wrest Kashmir from India. To test the waters, they launched their first military probes into the Rann of Kutch between February and May; India responded. By the end of July, India gave in to the dictates of the UN and stood down the troops it had mobilized in the Punjab and Kargil sectors in response to the Rann of Kutch skirmishes. Pakistan then launched i
The Kashmir and Northern Area War of 1947-48
History is made by those who seize fleeting opportunities in the critical time span in any particular situation and relentlessly execute their plans without second thoughts, subduing inner fears, overcoming procrastination and vacillation, and above all by those who are propelled by the burning desire to defeat the enemy rather than any half hearted judiciousness and timidity. Ninety years of loyalism and too much of constitutionalism had however made the Muslims of 1947 slow in taking the initiative and too much obsessed with consequences of every situation. This attitude was excellent as long as the British were the rulers, but not for a crisis situation, in which geography, time and space...
Letters to Staff College Quetta and What Is Wrong with Pakistan Army
There is something seriously wrong with command and staff college which means that Pakistan Army cannot be an outstandingly effective army unless command and staff college Quetta is reformed. This institutions assessment system is defective, lacks third party audit, not based on any training in field and the biggest conspiracy against all talent and dynamism. My squadron officer Colonel M defined his impressions of staff college . " first day in class, our instructor colonel F openly stated that he was here because of XX Punjab Regiment and will favor Punjab regiment officers ." These were impressions of countless officers that I interviewed. The rot starts from staff college basis of favori...
