Ayub Khan's mis-adventure.
The whole world saw the rout of the Indian Army in 1962. The Army virtually ran away from the Battle Field. FM Ayub Khan ,who was a member of the pre-partition Indian Army,saw a great oppertunity & launched an all out second WAR against INDIA. There were some iitial failures in Ran of Kutch & J & K. Large Tank battles were fought for the first time(since IInd world war) Pakisthan lost 3800 people.400,tanks.40 aircraft were shot down . The Indian Army captured Haji Pir Pass( At a great scrifice) & reached Lahore & was responsible for creating Paton Nagar,a grave yard of almost 100 destroyed Tanks.Pakisthan claimed that they were the victims of Aggression by India. Field Marshal Ayub Khan,(son of Risaldar Major Mir Dad Khan,of Hodson Horse) employed Paton tanks,against India, inspite of CLEAR assurances given to Americans,that Aided weapons will not be used against India.The centurion(second world war vintage) tanks fought against the modern Paton Tanks in fierce battles at Khem Karan sector.
Lal bahadur Shastri,who went to Tashkent ceded Haji Pir Pass to Pakisthan, & shortly afterwards died in mysterious circumstances,. The congress Govt never insisted on a full scale investigation. Even today it has remained a mystery. Many people feel he was poisoned..
