With all obnoxious comments aside, wasn't Amir Abdur Rahman Khan essentially subservient to the British?

Yet was ruler of Afghanistan, what are the implications of that, care to elaborate?

even if Amir Abudrrahman khan could not stand against the british, , the british are gone now. then the freedom is nothing that you beg for you have to fight for and struggle for it.

everything iv ever come accross on this has shown that pakistans involvement was the opposite of "VERY small"..i think your source is a conspiracey one?? they arnt that reliable if they are..

I have read the same Manzareh. That French special forces the GIGN led the operation and Pakistanis provided support. Also that a cleric first 'converted' the Frenchies to Islam before they entered the main compound. Below are some sources that mention this. Dont know why Wiki doesn't have this. Maybe some Pakistani zealot edited out the wiki-page.

Actually, GoI recently revealed the full report of the official inquiry into the 1965 war. Pretty self-critical and a thread-bare account of the war. I had downloaded the entire 200 page report but I cant find the link now. Search it on Google, you might find it.
