6th September Defence day is one of the most important events in the history of Pakistan. Defence day is celebrated every year in memory of the sacrifices made by the Pakistani armed forces in the war of 1965. Indian army crossed the Pakistani borders without a formal declaration of war. This is the day when Pakistanis pay tribute to heroes, Ghazis and Shuhada who sacrificed their lives in order to defend our homeland.

Background of the war: 

Since the British India partition, Pakistan and India had disputes over various issues. Kashmir issue remained unresolved and both countries have fought previously.

Indo-Pak War (Defence Day)

6th September (Defence Day) is one of the most important events of Pakistan’s history. On September 6, 1965, Indian army crossed the international borders of Pakistan without a formal declaration of War. It was a time when not just our brave soldiers but the whole nation was cast into the mould of a cohesive unit to defend our home land and defeated the Indian Army and made them retrieve on all fronts.

The long-standing border disputes, communal tensions, and conflict over the question of Kashmir flared up in a full-scale war between India and Pakistan in September 1965.

The War of Rann of Kutch

The dispute goes back to the days of the British rule in India. The Rann was the bone of contention between the princely state Kutch, and the British Indian province of Sindh.

When British India was partitioned, Kutch acceded to India and Sindh to Pakistan. The issue was inherited by these two states along some 3,500 sq. miles of territory. From January 1965 onwards, border incidents became frequent. By all accounts the Indian forces were badly defeated in the Kutch area by the Pakistan army.

At the Commonwealth Conference in Britain, the British Prime Minister Harold Wilson successfully persuaded both India and Pakistan to sign an agreement on June 30 to resolve the dispute. Failing to do so bilaterally, a tribunal was set up to resolve this dispute. This tribunal announced its verdict on February 19, 1965. It gave 350 sq. miles in the northern part to Pakistan and the rest of the Rann area to India.

The War in Kashmir

The application of articles 356 and 357 of the Indian Constitution to the Kashmir State which enabled the President of India to establish Presidential Rule in Kashmir and legislate, there was an effort to amalgamate Kashmir completely into the Indian Union.

• The Sardar-i-Riyasat would henceforth be known as Governor and would be appointed by the President of India instead of being elected by the local assembly.
• The Prime Minister would be styled as a Chief Minister, as in the states of the Indian Union.

The Kashmiri people called for an all out war against Indian imperialism and established a National Government of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In a spillover effect, Azad Kashmir became increasingly restive. The Indian army made a series of new moves across the ceasefire line with her regular armed forces.

The Lahore Offensive

The U. S. suspended military supplies to both sides during the Indo-Pak War. Both the Soviet Union and the United States took a united stand to curtail the conflict within the boundaries of the Sub-continent from escalating into a global conflict. China threatened to intervene and offered military support to Pakistan. It was to keep China away from this conflict that both the Soviet Union and the United States pressured the U. N. to arrange for an immediate ceasefire.

The Soviet Union, which had remained neutral while India and Pakistan were at war, played broker at Tashkent afterwards. A Soviet Government communique formally announced on December 8 that the Indian Prime Minister Shastri and the Pakistani President Ayub would meet at Tashkent on January 4, 1966.

The Tashkent Conference lasted from January 4 to January 10. The Soviet Premier Kosygin earned praise as a peacemaker. The main achievement of the Conference was to withdraw, no later than February 25, 1966, all armed personnel to the position held before August 5, 1964.

What Happened on 6th September in Pakistan

What Happened on 6th September in Pakistan On the night of 6 th September Pakistan Defense Day 1965 in the darkness and silence; India who has been always frustrated with Pakistan after Independence made a big mistake as they enhanced their dirty intentions toward the Muslim state after they attacked Pakistan, un-warned and un-noticed. Their main intention was to get Punjab cut off from independent Pakistan and for that purpose, they attacked vigorously the areas like Lahore and Sialkot. But someone should have told these cowards that firstly if they wanted to attack they should have done it in the daylight so that they can get the response that Pakistan was capable of, secondly they should have been informed that the area in which they were willing to attack was not a bunch of nuts that would have split into pieces, this was the biggest mistake India could ever make; thinking attacking Pakistan.

Although the Pakistan army, air force, and the local people were unaware and were not prepared for the attack but Pakistani people and our forces are not to be underestimated as they stood as the stable and rigid wall in front of the coward Indian army, as after one another the battalions which entered Pakistani borders were being thrashed and blown away in no time. The border of Lahore which is known as Wagha Border was the gateway for the Indian army which Pakistan blocked by deploying their brave men who were ever ready to get their lives laid down in the way of the protection and life of our beloved country.

There were so many army officials and soldiers who led their lives in the way of this defense as they preferred losing their lives but didn’t let the Indian army get success in their dirty intentions of conquering Lahore and Punjab. The Army officers like Captain Sarwar Shaheed, Major Tufail Shaheed, Major Raja Aziz Bhatti Shaheed, Major Shabbir Sharif Shaheed, Major Muhammad Akram Shaheed, Sarwar Muhammad Hussain Shaheed, Lance Naik Muhammad Mehfooz Shaheed, and Havaldar Lalak Jan Shaheed gave sacrifices of their life for Pakistan and were awarded “Nishan-e-Haider” for their acts of exceptional bravery. Nishan-e-Haider is the highest military award given to brave martyrs of the Pakistan army those who left remarkable examples of bravery and sacrifice for nation and country.

Pakistani people remember and observe this day as the national day, as they proudly celebrate the day of 6 th September every year which is known as Defence Day or Yom-e-Diffa; in remembrance of those brave souls who gave the presence of their lives and blood for our country and they have given India one very crucial lesson that never makes the mistake of attacking Pakistan, because 6 th September was the Defence Day, Indian should fear from that day when we start celebrating the Attack Day anytime.

You can read this What Happened on 6th September in Pakistan and could speak these words in any of the debates as well as competitions.
