Q1. (b) How was the claim of Pakistan being victorious in the 1965 war proved wrong by a New York Times reporter?
Answer - Arif Jamal, a former New York Times journalist, wrote in his book (Shadow War):
This time, India's victory was nearly total: India accepted cease-fire only after it had occupied
740 square miles, though Pakistan had made marginal gains of 210 square miles of territory.
Despite the obvious strength of the Indian wins, both countries claim to have been victorious.
