1. Write a brief note on the operations in the Rann of Kutch.

Ans: In Jan 1965 Pakistan sent its troops into the Rann of Kutch and established a track of 20 miles. They also set up a post at a place called Kanjerkote. Subsequently Pakistan was often aggressive in this area by firing mortars and artillery guns. A forward post was established by CRPF in the border and was called Sardar Post. This post saw heavy attacks by the Pakistani army but was always beaten back. They suffered heavy casualties too. On 25th April 1965 Pakistan once again attacked Indian Sardar Post in Rann of Kutch area. Though India could back her claim over Rann of Kutch with historical facts, Pakistan could not produce any evidence supporting their claim over the area. The British Prime Minister talked to both countries and requested to stop the war. At 6.00 am on 30th June 1965 a ceasefire was declared.

2. Describe the confrontation between India and Pakistan in the Kashmir Sector in the 1965 War.

Ans: In August 1965 about 30000 well armed Pakistani infiltrators crossed the borders under the protective fire cover of Pakistani regular army, and entered into Jammu and Kashmir. The Operation was code named Op GIBRALTER by the Pakistani Army. On 5th August 1965, two groups of Gibralter forces crossed the line of ceasefire and entered India. On 9th August 1965, about 100 infiltrators attacked Poonch for several days with heavy fire power but were defeated by India. On 15th August 1965 the Indian forces crossed the line of ceasefire and occupied the Pakistan position at Kargil and the Haji Pir pass. This action by India completely stopped the infiltration. In the early hours of 1st Sep 1965, Pakistan started Operation GRAND SLAM with artillery firing across the cease fire line in the Chamb sector in Kashmir. The plan was to capture the important towns of Akhnoor and Jammu.

3. How did the Indian Air Force play a crucial role in the 1965 War?

Ans: The IAF gave substantial support to the Army in fighting the enemy on many fronts. On the first day of war Indian Vampires and Mysteres struck heavy blows on Pak armour, advancing on the Chhamb-Jaurian axis. Subsequently, IAF Canberras raided major Pakistan Air Force bases at Sargodha and Chaklala at night. The Mysteres were employed primarily in the ground attack role whereas the Hunters were utilised for bombing and close support missions. The Gnat squadrons proved very effective in defending against enemy aircrafts. The astounding success of the Gnat against the Pak F-86 earned it the title ‘Sabre Slayer’.

The Vampires and Mystere fighter planes of the IAF attacked the enemy tanks, vehicles, and troops with maximum fire. 13 tanks, 2 artillery guns and 62 motor vehicles were destroyed. And it also stopped the Pakistani attack.
