A true picture of history can only be seen if history is just compiled and not created. It is a story of extra ordinary chivalry, velour, gallantry, superb planning, bold execution, dedication to cause, Dynamic Leadership and miraculous achievements, which ended in open / historical injustice and dishonesty .(It is an extract of various books and articles written by Indian and Pakistani authors ; mostly available on Internet ,& interviews of Kashmeeri immigrants/participants of operation Gibraltar Indo-Pak War 1965.) An account of achievements of Pakistan Army’s guerrilla officer Major Munawar Khan who captured about 2000 square miles (Gen Mehmud and few other authors believe it was 500 square miles) of Indian Held Kashmir,(Rajouri , Poonch and Budhil Regions) taught unforgettable lessons to Indian Security Forces and established his own Government. He appointed his own DC, SP and Judges. He was ordered by the GHQ to come back after UN mandated Cease Fire but he protested against the orders .He stood as a Hero amongst the war heroes of Indo-Pak armies during war 1965. But contents of this story were kept secret for many decades due to secrecy policy of the Government of Pakistan. 1. HIS EARLY LIFE: Allah Almighty blessed Malik Muqarab Khan a farmer of village Jhatla Tehsil Talagang, District Attock British India (Now Chakwal) with a son. It was 24th Jan 1921, while Malik Muqarab Khan was working in his fields with oxen, 3/66 received this good news. He rushed towards his home in excitement to see the new born. The new born was named as Munawar Khan (later to be known as Malik Munawar Khan Awan). He studied in village Jhatla and Talagang. Besides his studies he was very fond of playing kabbadi, hockey and horse/camel riding. As a young agile boy, he was spotted by a British officer winning an athletics race that Munawar had entered on the spur of the moment and was nurtured by the British for a role in the army. His career had begun in the British Indian Army. He was among those captured and made prisoner of war by Japanese forces at Singapur while his Regiment was trying to defend Rangoon in World War II. He learned the Japanese language while incarcerated and his fluency brought him to the attention of his captors. They moved him out of the prison camp and enlisted him in the Imperial Japanese Army, where he received special training. When the Indian National Army, led by Subhas Chandra Bose, was formed in 1942, Munawar joined its fight for India’s independence from British rule. Where as a Captain Munawar commanded 2nd INAs 1st Guerrilla Battalion of 2nd Guerrilla Brigade under command Colonel Inayat Kiani. During famous Battle of Imphal he led the Battalion and fought fiercely against Allied Forces. Later he was captured by the Allied forces and faced a Munawar as INA officer trial for treason at the end of World War2 and was put in Multan Jail.(“An attempt to defame Nehru” by G Ramachandram & Muslim Contributions to India’s Freedom Struggle – and A Different Narrative by Professor Nazeer Ahmed). While in the jail a Hindu billionaire’s daughter fell in love with Munawar Khan and would visit him in jail daily carrying along a bouquet of flowers. “Marry me,” she said to him one day. “I can’t”, he replied. “Why?”, she asked. “Because you’re a Hindu and I am a Muslim”, he said. “I will convert”, she replied. “You’re a billionaire’s daughter and I am the son of a poor father”, he said. “Never mind, I’ll serve you and your family happily”. The young beautiful girl dared Munawar to escape from jail and come for dinner at her father’s home to prove his bravado. “Munawar took up the challenge. In the evening, the jail superintendent made a final round. Munawar grabbed him and knocked him out when he reached his cell. He quickly changed into his uniform and confidently walked out of the prison to sit in the superintendent’s waiting car. It was dark and Munawar’s cap covered his face. He ordered the driver to take him to the billionaire’s home where the young lady and her family were speechless. Of course on his return to the prison, he was given the third degree and thrown into a solitary cell to be court martialled.” (Dawn News, The 20-watt fountain of energy by Anjum Niaz - Published Apr 21, 2013) 4/66 Soon after the above incident his luck rescued him. Munawar was freed, along with other INA prisoners, when the Partition of India occurred. Here while he was in jail Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah and Liaquat Ali Khan visited him and offered him to join the Pakistan Army. Being a court martial case Munawar could not be re-inducted in Pakistan army’s regular units, therefore he was offered to join Azad Kashmir Regular Force. He accepted the offer and as a formality was sent to Officers Training School Kohat for few months. He then joined a Battalion of Azad Kashmir Regular Force (AKRF), which later became 21st Battalion of The Azad Kashmir Regiment. He fought 1948 Kashmir war against India. While serving in Poonch sector as a Lieutenant he won the AJKs 2nd highest non-operational award “Ghazi-e-Kashmir” which is admissible for outstanding and meritorious services. (History of the Azad Kashmir Regimnt, Vol-1). His subordinates and friends used to say that Munawar was hardy and bold and quite unaccustomed to the fear, he feared none but ALLAH. As a Muslim he had very strong faith in ALLAH Almighty and was a true lover of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and Hazrat Ali (RA).He loved them to the extent of madness. Recitation of Surah-e-Muzamil from the Holy Quran, early in the morning and before going to bed at night was his daily routine. He was very fond of recitation of Darood-e-Pak and mediation of names of ALLAH and he continued with the same routine during war and peace. Capt Munawar under going Tactical & Weapons courses at SI&T Quetta 5/66 In early 1964 Munawar’s wife told him that she had dreamt about him that he was fighting against Indian Army in INDIAN HELD KASHMIR and defeated the Indians. Munawar laughed it out but after a month or so a messenger sent by Peer Barkatullah, a saint and a spiritual friend of Munawar from Neelam valley’s village Dawarian, contacted him at Tatta Pani AK and told him to meet the saint as soon as possible. In April 1964 he visited Peer Barkatullah and surprisingly he told him that there was a prophecy for him “be ready for raising KALMA-E-HAQ in INDIAN HELD KASHMIR”. Munawar was astonished and said there were no chances of war in the near future, how could he do the needful in INDIAN HELD KASHMIR? But he said that he had dreamt the same and he should believe him it was going to happen. Munawar then asked the saint, if it was so than you pray I should embrace shahadat in this Jihad-e- Fisabeelillah. (Pray that I should embrace martyrdom in the way of Allah) “No you will return unbeatable and successful” the saint replied. 2. Selection for Operation GIBRALTAR In May 1965 as a Major he was selected to undergo special training for Operation Gibraltar behind enemy lines in Indian Held Kashmir. This operation included Salahuddin; Tariq; Babur; Qasim; Khalid; Nusrat; Kundeshah; Sikander; Khilji; Ghaznavi Forces and the Headquarters. He was appointed as GHAZNAVI Force Commander. He himself trained the officers and other ranks of GHAZNAVI force at Dungi, Khuiratta AK, and later in the end of July 1965, led them to Indian Held Kashmir for guerrilla operations. 6/66 Major Munawar Khan being GHAZNAVI force commander had 5 Infantry companies and a section of SSG under his command. Companies were commanded by the following officers: 1. Capt Maqsood Hussain Shah 2. Capt Sher Ahmed 3. Capt Khursheed Ahmed 4. Capt Ghulam Hussain 5. Lt Khadim Hussain 6. N/Sub Mehrban Khan (SSG Section Commander) Unfortunately, out of 10 forces of Gibraltar Operation, all except GHAZNAVI Force, failed to accomplish their missions.

  • Operation Gibraltar.Docx
    Operation Gibraltar Operation Gibraltar was code name for a military operation launched by the Pakistani military in the Indian administered part of Kashmir. The objective was for Pakistani commandos to infiltrate the Line of Control and instigate the local population to revolt against the Indian government. The operation was a disaster as the local population did not revolt and the infiltration was discovered. This led to the outbreak of the 1965 Indo-Pak war. Operation Gibraltar was an important topic in the Modern Indian History segment of the IAS exam. Background of Operation Gibraltar The Indo-Pakistan war of 1947 resulted in Indian gaining two-thirds of Kashmir. However Pakistan kept looking for opportunities to gain the rest. That opportunity would come following the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict (Began on October 20, 1962). The defeat at the hands of the Chinese military led to major changes in the Indian army in terms of men and equipment. Pakistan, despite being outnumbered, would use its qualitative edge to balance the scales of power before India completed its defence build up. The Rann of Kutch clash (April 9th 1965) in the summer of 1965, where Indian and Pakistani forces clashed, resulted in some positives for Pakistan. Moreover, in December 1963, the disappearance of a holy relic from the Hazratbal shrine in Srinagar, created turmoil among the people in the valley, which was viewed by Pakistan as ideal for revolt. These factors bolstered the Pakistani command's thinking: that the use of covert methods followed by the threat of an all out war would force a resolution in Kashmir Thus Pakistani Military command opted to send in both its regular army and an auxiliary force of Kashmiri locals on their side of the border towards Jammu and Kashmir.

  • India Pushing Kashmiri Youth to Wall: Masood
    INDIA PUSHING KASHMIRI YOUTH TO WALL: MASOOD The Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has said that India had pushed the Kashmiri people toward the wall, and now they have no option except to fight. He said that today, every child of the age of ten to twelve years in occupied Kashmir is set to stand before the gun-wielding India army soldier to fight and die so as to save the honour and modesty of their mothers and sisters. Talking to a delegation of Friends of Kashmir Canada led by its convener Dr. Zafar Bangash here on Monday, he said that the UK, European and French parliaments as well as the US Congress and the US house of representatives have raised their voice over flagrant human rights violations in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). The AJK president maintained that these leading parliaments of the world had not only raised their voice for the rights of the Kashmiri people, but they also publicly criticized Indian repression in the held territory. He, however, regretted that other countries except China, Malaysia, Turkey and Iran have kept mum on the government-level over the situation of occupied Kashmir. "The Indian government headed by fanatic Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attempting to establish Hindu settlements in occupied Kashmir on the pattern of Israeli settlements in order to settle non-Kashmiri Hindus and ex-servicemen there in an attempt to turn the Muslim majority into a minority," he said and added that such attempts under international law are ethnic cleansing. The state president that organizations like Friends of Kashmir Canada can play an important role to break the silence of big powers and international forums on the aggravating the situation of occupied Kashmir.

  • The India–Pakistan Conflict an Enduring Rivalry Edited by T. V. Paul
    This page intentionally left blank ii ii The India–Pakistan Conflict: An Enduring Rivalry The India–Pakistan rivalry remains one of the most enduring and unre- solved conflicts of our times. It began with the birth of the two states in 1947, and it has continued ever since, with the periodic resumption of wars and crises. The conflict has affected every dimension of interstate and societal relations between the two countries and, despite occasional peace initiatives, shows no signs of abating. This volume brings together leading experts in international relations theory and comparative politics to explain the persistence of this rivalry. Together they examine a range of topics including regional power distribution, great power politics, territorial divisions, the nuclear weapons factor, and incompatible national identities. Based on their analyses, they offer possible condi- tions under which the rivalry could be terminated. The book will be of interest to scholars of politics and international relations, as well as those concerned about stability and peace in South Asia. T . V . PAUL is James McGill Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science at McGill University, Montreal, Canada.

  • A Golden Opportunity for South Asia
    A Golden Opportunity for South Asia Stanley Wolpert Professor of History, University of California at Los Angeles stan, offers South Asia's most powerful nations a golden opportunity for This golden enlightened jubilee change. With year Prime Ministerof India's Inder Kumar independence Gujral now at and of the birth of Paki the helm of New Delhi's polity, and Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif enjoying great popular support in Islamabad, South Asia may at last be ready to end half a century of mortal conflict and enter the next millennium at peace. Fifty years of war and terror, causing chaos and economic dislocation, have been the bitter legacies of a hasty, inept Partition that tore apart British India's breadbasket of Punjab and its most populous province of Bengal in mid August 1947. Deep-rooted religious differences and competing political ambi tions conspired to disrupt British India's stability with periodic communal riots during the last four decades of that Raj. All three of the major parties of the Partition, Britain's Government of India, the Indian National Congress, and the Muslim League, share historic blame for the bloody transfer of power that left more than a million fleeing Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs to die violently in the Partition's immediate aftermath. The end of World War II found Great Britain so sick of imperial respon sibilities and in such deep Sterling debt to India that its new Labour Government could barely wait to extricate itself from South Asia. Prime Minister Attlee sent the King's handsome young cousin, "Dickie" Lord Mountbatten, to New Delhi to put the best British ceremonial face on that final act of the Raj, with pomp and pageantry enough on the eve of Partition for the world's press almost to blot out the Hindu-Muslim-Sikh bloodbath of a civil war that ravaged the subcontinent Summer/Fall 1997 - Volume IV, Issue 2 209 This content downloaded from 128.148.254.57 on Tue, 06 Feb 2018 20:59:33 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms Stanley Wolpert in its wake.

  • Battle of Asal Uttar: 1965 Indo-Pak War
    scholar warrior Battle of Asal Uttar: 1965 Indo-Pak War P K CHAKRAVORTY Introduction India has fought three wars with Pakistan. All these wars have been initiated by Pakistan, and India has responded with alacrity and military precision. Out of the three wars, the war of 1971 was a classical victory for India. It also witnessed the dismemberment of East Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh. Pakistan ceased to be in the same league as India after this war. Prior to the 1971 War and after the Sino-Indian debacle of 1962, a major war was initiated by Pakistan in 1965. It commenced with operations in the Rann of Kutch in April 1965, followed by Operation Gibraltar which witnessed Pakistani irregulars trying to capture Kashmir by infiltration and gaining a few areas in Uri, Tithwal and Poonch, while India captured the strategic Haji Pir Pass. To continue the operations Pakistan launched Operation Grand Slam to capture Akhnoor and cut off the communications in the Jammu region on September 1. The Indian Army also launched operations in the Sialkot sector as also on to the eastern banks of Ichogil canal which brought it to the doorsteps of Pakistan’s second biggest city, Lahore. Pakistan launched its ultimate offensive with its 1 Armoured Division and 11 Infantry Division in the Khemkaran sector to reach the bridges on the Beas river and thereafter threaten Amritsar, Jullundur, or as visualised by President Ayub Khan, onwards to Delhi. It was in these operations that the one of the biggest tank battles was fought at Asal Uttar.

I welcome you to the magnum opus of this year’s PMUNC, The JCC: East Pakistan Crisis. My name is Prateek Swain and I will be your chair for the India committee. First, I’ll introduce myself; I will be starting my sophomore year at Princeton and will be majoring in Economics or Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy (depending on my mood when I have to declare) with a certificate in computer science. I have been debating as well as participating/chairing MUNs since my sophomore year of high school, and have carried on with these endeavors in college. Last year I was the Director for the Korean Reunification Committee at PMUNC, so I’m naturally extremely excited to be chairing this committee and have full faith that it will be a great experience for both you and me. This is certainly not my first crisis, but perhaps the one closest to my heart. Last semester, I took one of those eye opening classes at Princeton on Human Rights with Rebecca (Chair of the Pakistan committee) which set the foundation for this JCC to come into existence.
