Apart from Gandhi Jayanti, today is the birthday of Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister of the country. Shastri was born on October 02, 1904. Everyone is familiar with their simplicity and adventure. Speaking of the 1965 war, when India lost to China in the 1962 war, Pakistan was under the illusion that the Indian army was not strong enough. With this idea Pakistan attacked India. The strategy adopted by Lal Bahadur Shastri at that time was enough to give Pakistan a scathing response. Lal Bahadur Shastri became the second Prime Minister of the country on June 09, 1964.

* India lost the war with China in 1962.

* At that time, India's defeat was considered as Pakistan's future victory.

* The Ayub Khan government of Pakistan decided to take advantage of that opportunity.

* Pakistan's President Ayub Khan launched Operation Gibraltar in the scorching heat of 1965 and sent thousands of troops to Kashmir with the intention of destroying Indian Army communication lines.

* Not only that, he spread the word about the occupation of Indian Army land to get Kashmiri Muslims on his side.

* However, Pakistan's objective could not be surpassed.

* Kashmiri farmers and Gujjar pastoralists informed the Indian Army about the infiltration of the enemy army.

* In that, Pakistan was hit back and Operation Gibraltar hit back.

* The Indian Army carried out the order given by the then Prime Minister Shastri. He crossed the international border into Punjab, infiltrated into Pakistan and struck from two sides.

* Operation Grand Slam was the second biggest mistake of the then President of Pakistan Ayub Khan. Some orders were given to Pakistan's Tank and Crack Infantry Regiment under this operation. The order was to cross the Chhamb-Jaurian.

* Capturing Akhnoor so that they could rest in the plains of Jammu.

* Can destroy Indian Army contacts and supply lines.

* However, a high-level tactic was used to crush Pakistan's invading forces in the Chhamb-Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir so that they fled.

* For the first time in history, the Indian Army crossed the international border and attacked Lahore under the leadership of Major General Prasad.

* Shastriji's strategy was to attack Sialkot and Lahore.

* Initially the Pakistani army was successful. Job said to his soldiers, 'You have thrust your teeth into the flesh of the enemy, bit deeply, and left them bleeding.'

* At that time Job made a big mistake. He ordered a change in the arch at the infantry division level. The order was to replace the GOC and hand over the bow to Major General Yahya Khan.

* The force was affected by the change and one day no work was done.

* The Indian general got a chance to increase his power.

* To say that Shastriji believed in non-violence but put his motherland above all else. This is why it was also allowed to kill enemies to protect it.
