2 INDO - PAK WAR 1965 OPERATION GIBRALTER

Pakistan believed that the population of KASHMIR was generally discontented with Indian rule and that a resistance movement could be ignited by a few infiltrating saboteurs

Pakistan attempted to ignite the resistance movement by means of a covert infiltration, codenamed OPERATION GIBRALTER

•On August 5, 1965 between 26,000 and 33,000 Pakistani soldiers crossed the LINE OF CONTROLL dressed as Kashmiri locals headed for various areas within Kashmir

•The Pakistani infiltrators were soon discovered, however , their presence reported by local Kashmir's and the operation ended in a complete failure.

3 INDO – PAK WAR 1971

The Bangladesh Liberation war ignited after the 1970 Pakistani election, in which the East Pakistani Awami League won 167 of 169 seats in East Pakistan and secured a simple majority in the 313-seat lower house of the Parliament of Pakistan. Awami League leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman presented the Six Points to the President of Pakistan and claimed the right to form the government. After the leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, refused to yield the premiership of Pakistan to Mujibur, President Yahya Khan called the military, dominated by West Pakistanis, to suppress dissent

• Mass arrests of dissidents began , and attempts were made to disarm East Pakistani soldiers and police. After several days of strikes and non-cooperation movements , the Pakistani military cracked down on Dhaka on the night of 25 March 1971. The Awami League was banished , and many members fled into exile In India. Mujib was arrested on the night of 25–26 March 1971 at about 1:30 a.m. (as per Radio Pakistan’s news on 29 March 1971) and taken to West Pakistan. The next action carried out was Operation Searchlight , an attempt to kill th e intellectual elite of the east.

•On 27 March 1971, Ziaur Rahman, a major in the Pakistani army, declared the independence of Bangladesh on behalf of Mujibur. In April, exiled Awami League leaders formed a government-in-exile in Baidyanathtala of Meherpur. The East Pakistan Rifles, a paramilitary force, defected to the rebellion. Bangladesh Force namely Mukti Bahini consisting of Niyomito Bahini (Regular Force) and Gono Bahini (Guerilla Force) was formed under the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) General Mohammad Ataul Ghani Osmany

India's involvement in Bangladesh Liberation War

The Pakistan army conducted a widespread genocide against the Bengali population of East Pakistan,aimed in particular at the minority Hindu population,[leading to approximately 10 million people fleeing East Pakistan and taking refuge in the neighbouring Indian statesThe East Pakistan-India border was opened to allow refugees safe shelter in India. The governments of West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura established refugee camps along the border. The resulting flood of impoverished East Pakistani refugees placed an intolerable strain on India's already overburdened economy.

• General Tikka Khan earned the nickname 'Butcher of Bengal' due to the widespread atrocities he committed

•The Indian government repeatedly appealed to the international community , but failing to elicit any response , Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on 27 March 1971 expressed full support ofer government for the independence struggle of the people of EAST PAKISTHAN

•The Indian leadership under Prime Minister Gandhi quickly decided that it was more effective to end the genocide by taking armed action against Pakistan than to simply give refuge to those who made it across to refugee camps

• Exiled East Pakistan army officers and members of the Indian Intelligence immediately started using these camps for recruitment and training of Mukti Bahini guerrillas

• The mood in West Pakistan had also turned increasingly jingoistic and militaristic against East Pakistan and India. By the end of September, an organised propaganda campaign, possibly orchestrated by elements within the Government of Pakistan, resulted in stickers proclaiming Crush India becoming a standard feature on the rear windows of vehicles in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Lahore and soon spread to the rest of West Pakistan. By October, other stickers proclaimed Hang the Traitor in an apparent reference to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

INDIA'S OFFICIAL ENGAGEMENT WITH PAKISTAN

On 23 November, Yahya Khan declared a state of emergency in all of Pakistan and told his people to prepare for war.

India responded by starting a massive buildup of Indian forces on the border with East Pakistan. The Indian military waited until December, when the drier ground would make for easier operations and Himalayan passes would be closed by snow, preventing any Chinese intervention.

OPERATION CHENGIZ GHAN

On the evening of 3 December Sunday, at about 5:40 p.m.,the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) launched a pre-emptive strike on eleven airfields in north-western India, including Agra which was 300 miles (480 km) from the border

This preemptive strike known as Operation Chengiz Khan, was inspired by the success of Israeli Operation Focus in the Arab-Israeli

• The Indian Air Force responded with initial air strikes that very night. These air strikes were expanded to massive retaliatory air strikes the next morning and thereafter which followed interceptions by Pakistanis anticipating this action

• This marked the official start of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered the immediate mobilisation of troops and launched the full-scale invasion.

•This involved Indian forces in a massive coordinated air, sea, and land assault. Indian Air Force started flying sorties against Pakistan from midnight.The main Indian objective on the western front was to prevent Pakistan from entering Indian soil.

OPERATION TRIDENT

The Indian Navy, under the command of Vice Admiral S.N. Kohli, successfully attacked Karachi's port in Operation Trident on the night of 4–5 December, using missile boats, sinking Pakistani destroyer PNS Khyber and a minesweeper PNS Muhafiz; PNS Shah Jahan was badly damaged.720 Pakistani sailors were killed or wounded, and Pakistan lost reserve fuel and many commercial ships, thus crippling the Pakistan Navy's further involvement in the conflict.

by Operation Python on the night of 8–9 December, in which Indian missile boats attacked the Karachi port, resulting in further destruction of reserve fuel tanks and the sinking of three Pakistani merchant ships.

AIR OPERATIONS After the initial preemptive strike, PAF

adopted a defensive stance in response to the Indian retaliation

As the war progressed, the Indian Air Force continued to battle the PAF over conflict zones

The PAF played a more limited part in the operations, and were reinforced by F-104s from Jordan, Mirages from an unidentified Middle Eastern ally (probably Libya) and by F-86s from Saudi Arabia

INDIAN AIR FORCE IN ACTION

THE FINAL ASSAULT

16 December 1971 Pakistan attacked at several places along India's western border with Pakistan, but the Indian army successfully held their positions.

The Indian Army quickly responded to the Pakistan Army's movements in the west and made some initial gains, including capturing around 5,500 square miles (14,000 km2) of Pakistan territory

MITRO BAHINI

On the eastern front, the Indian Army joined forces with the Mukti Bahini to form the Mitro Bahini ("Allied Forces"); Unlike the 1965 war which had emphasised set-piece battles and slow advances, this time the strategy adopted was a swift, three-pronged assault of nine infantry divisions with attached armoured units and close air support that rapidly converged on Dhaka, the capital of East Pakistan.

MISSION DHAKKA

Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora, who commanded the eighth, twenty-third, and fifty-seventh divisions, led the Indian thrust into East Pakistan.

Faced with insurmountable losses, the Pakistani military capitulated in less than a fortnight. On 16 December, the Pakistani forces stationed in East Pakistan surrendered.
