Abstract
Pakistan’s attempts to spark off a revolt in Indian-held Kashmir in August 1965 led to violations of the cease-fire line by both sides. (For the background to this, see Section D above.) Pakistan then launched a full-scale assault across the line, to which India responsed by invading (what was then West) Pakistan at several points. Thus the two states were at war not just in Kashmir but also along the 1,000-mile-long international frontier (see Map 29).
