Pakistani Soldiers surrendering their arms before Indian Army:Indo-Pak War 1971
Pakistan claims that its armed force is one of the strongest and most modern armed force in the world , both well equipped and well trained.Here are some "truths" about this army:
1. Pakistan army has always intervened in Pakistani Politics and has illegtimately toppled several elected Goverments.
2. This organisation is the biggest stake holder and stock holder in every big business of Pakistan. They have biggest share in Pakistan's stock exchange, operate commercial bank, airline, steel, cement, telecom, petroleum and energy, education, sports, health care and even grocery shops chains and bakeries. In short their monopoly is present in every sector of Pakistan's economy.Pakistan Army holds most of the civil departments, government lands , and other govenment organisations.Senior Pakistan Army Officers are engaged in selling n purchasing of government properties.They own enormous govenment assetts.
It would be better to call this army a Pvt.Ltd Company.
3. Till date this STRONG army has faught 4 wars with India (1948-1965-1971-1999).In each of these wars this army lost almost half of its capabilities.

"TIME magazine reported that India held 690 sqkm of Pakistan territory while Pakistan held 250 sqkm of Indian territory in Kashmir and Rajasthan. Additionally, Pakistan had lost almost half its armour temporarily.[55] The same article stated that - Severely mauled by the larger Indian armed forces, Pakistan could continue the fight only by teaming up with Red China and turning its back on the U.N." (1965)
"The invading Indian forces outfought their Pakistani counterparts and halted their attack on the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan's second-largest city. By the time United Nations intervened on September 22, Pakistan had suffered a clear defeat." (1965)
"Losses were relatively heavy--on the Pakistani side, twenty aircraft, 200 tanks, and 3,800 troops. Pakistan's army had been able to withstand Indian pressure, but a continuation of the fighting would only have led to further losses and ultimate defeat for Pakistan." (1965)
"The Indian campaign employed "blitzkrieg" techniques, exploiting weakness in the enemy's positions and bypassing opposition, and resulted in a swift victory.[26] Faced with insurmountable losses, the Pakistani military capitulated in less than a fortnight. On 16 December, the Pakistani forces stationed in East Pakistan surrendered." (1971)
"The war stripped Pakistan of more than half of its population and with nearly one-third of its army in captivity, clearly established India's military dominance of the subcontinent.[13]" (1971)
"The loss of East Pakistan had shattered the prestige of the Pakistani military.[6] Pakistan lost half its navy, a quarter of its airforce and a third of its army.[34] The popularized myth that one Muslim had the fighting prowess of five Hindus no longer held any water.[6] " (1971)
"The Indian Air Force flew 4,000 sorties while its counterpart, the PAF offered little in retaliation, partly because of the paucity of non-Bengali technical personnel.[3] This lack of retaliation has also been attributed to the deliberate decision of the PAF High Command to cut its losses as it had already incurred huge losses in the conflict.[25] In the east, the small air contingent of Pakistan Air Force No. 14 Sqn was destroyed, putting the Dhaka airfield out of commission and resulting in Indian air superiority in the east.[3]." (1971)
4. During Indo pak War 1971 about 90,000 pakistani soldiers surrendered in front of Indian Army.This is the largest number of POW's in a two side conflict till date.
5। During Kargil War 1999 Pakistan even refused to take back the bodies of its armymen who intruded into the Indian territory disguised as local Jihadis and were killed by Indian Army.
Source Wikipedia:
"The morale of Pakistani forces after the withdrawal declined as many units of the Northern Light Infantry suffered heavy casualties.[17][102] The government refused to acknowledge the dead bodies of many officers,[103][104] an issue that provoked outrage and protests in the Northern Areas.[105][106] Pakistan initially did not acknowledge many of its casualties, but Sharif later said that over 4,000 Pakistani troops were killed in the operation and that Pakistan had lost the conflict.[6] " (1999)
6. Pakistan Army is accused of committing one of the most brutal war time genocide in the world military history.This disciplined army committed lakhs of brutal murders , rapes and other war crimes in erstwhile East Pakistan during Indo-Pak War 1971.
