refer ''In Retrospect'' by Robert McNamara
by arijit on Sep 06, 2005 08:41 PM   Permalink

while Indians will say they won & the Pakistanis will also say that they won, I would suggest that you read "In Retrospect" by Robert McNamara, who was the US Secretary of Defence, during the period, where he specifically says that India won & Pakistan lost.
At the same time, it is time we got over this debate about who won & who lost, for in war, there are only losers & no winners.
Lets look back & correct the mistakes we made, which made us go to war. Let us look forward to a peaceful co-existence & instead focus our resources in the development of our countries which will benefit the citizens of India & Pakistan and the sub-continent.
