On 11 September 1965, the Poona Horse Regiment under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Ardeshir Burzarji Tarapore was assigned the task of delivering the main armored thrust for capturing Phillora in the Sialkot Sector in Pakistan.
The regiment was thrusting between Phillora & Chawinda when it was suddenly counter-attacked by the enemy’s heavy Armour from Wazirali.
Lt Col Tarapore defied the enemy’s charge, held his ground and attacked Phillora with one of his squadrons supported by an infantry battalion.

So folks, yesterday was the anniversary of the ceasefire of the 1965 war - a war that Pakis chest-thumpingly claim to have 'decisively' won.
Well, like all Paki claims, this one too needs to be taken with a tonne of salt.
Let me share some thoughts on it ..

First, a bit of background.
1960s were a 'glorious' time for Pakistan.
Their economy was 'booming', their first (of many) IMF bailouts of 1958 notwithstanding!
To be fair, they were most definitely doing relatively better than us, though.

And then, there was the glorious, self styled Field Marshal sitting comfortably in the President's chair, having imposed the first (of many) military rules over the land of the pure!
