6th September, Pakistan Defence Day, An Invincible Victory of Pakistan
Following the speech given by the Pakistani President, Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan during the 1965 war, the Pakistani nation stood up to the enemy like an iron wall, especially after hearing his charismatic, daring, and morale-boosting speech. With half the number of Indian armed forces, the Pakistani forces were able to capture more Indian territory and cause more damage to India than the Indian forces could do to Pakistan, even though their forces were less numerous. Pakistan Defense Day reminds us to pay tribute to the Shaheeds and Ghazis families. It reminds us of the pride and victory of Pakistan over the unethical advancements of the enemy. It makes us pride ourselves on our country and the people who fought for it. 6th September is a day we celebrate to let our younger generation familiar with the sacrifices made by real heroes. The day is a symbol of courage and bravery.
6 September, is Pakistan Defence Day — a time when Pakistanis around the world celebrate the history and power of their country by remembering those who have fallen in defence of their homeland. It’s an important date in the calendar and one that Pakistanis everywhere take great pride in commemorating.
Pakistan celebrates its Defence Day on 6 September in remembrance of what was then called ‘Operation Rescission,’ which was the 1971 liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan. The day celebrates the bravery and the strength of united Pakistan; commemorating those who were martyred during and before Operation Rescission.
The events of 6 September 1965 should not be relegated to merely a national day of celebration. History has proven that Pakistan was victorious over India and will always be victorious as long as its people have faith in their country and unity. Pakistan is most assuredly a force to be reckoned with, which is demonstrated by its victory in 1965. On that fateful day, much like on today’s special day, our soldiers were outnumbered but they held fast because they knew they were fighting for something worth dying for. On that day, like on this occasion, our army was outnumbered yet it did not waver because they knew they were fighting for something worth defending.
Since the time of its formation, Pakistani women have been playing pivotal roles in defending their homeland. In 1965, just months after Independence, Pakistani women once again put their lives on the line. The battle is memorable for the brutal tactics used by Indian forces, who forcibly penetrated heavily guarded airfields and pushed down roads toward major cities like Lahore. Yet on September 6th, India’s final bid for victory in Operation Grand Slam failed; thanks largely to an inspired local defence by units composed mainly of infantry with machine guns and tanks, supported by skilled fighter pilots flying vintage jets from unprotected airfields near Sargodha, an agricultural town near Jhang in West Punjab.
Every year, on September 6th, we celebrate Pakistan’s Defence Day. This date commemorates two important moments in our country’s history: the 1965 war with India and our emergence as an independent nation. The early years of Independence were fraught with uncertainty, chaos, and fear. These dark days forced us to fight for our very existence as a nation-state – from the Indo-Pakistani wars (1965), the Bangladesh liberation war (1971), and the Afghan-Soviet war (1979). This is what made people more patriotic about the nationalistic ideology that led them into the Pakistani army for defending their nation on every front.
In 1965, the Indian Army planned to capture Lahore on the morning of 6th September, and the army’s high command said they would capture Lahore and have breakfast in Lahore’s Jimkhana Club that day. There was an incredible amount of courage and tenacity in the armed forces. Aziz Bhatti and his troops stood like rocks and fought like lions to defend Lahore from the enemy. After embracing Shadat, Major Bhatti won the Nishan-Haider award.
It was therefore not possible for the Indian army to have breakfast at Jimkhana Club Lahore. Pakistani tank formations fought in a heroic manner in Chawinda, Sialkot, causing significant damage to the enemy and forcing the Indian tank units to retreat after the major battle. Almost crippling the Indian air and naval bases were the result of exemplary bravery shown by the Pakistan Air Force and Navy.
Following the speech given by the Pakistani President, Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan during the 1965 war, the Pakistani nation stood up to the enemy like an iron wall, especially after hearing his charismatic, daring, and morale-boosting speech. With half the number of Indian armed forces, the Pakistani forces were able to capture more Indian territory and cause more damage to India than the Indian forces could do to Pakistan, even though their forces were less numerous.
