When we speak of capturing territory in West Punjab, somehow I feel that the exploits of 1965 war are in our subconsciousness. Though in 1971 there was not much action on the West Punjab front as compared to 1965, but even in 1965 we had mixed results. It has been many years since the last war was f...
