The mothers surely must have been cursing it, but the students were over the moon. Now that the students were not going to school, the routine could not remain the same.

I always wondered what was the one key point which helped Pakistan survived against an enemy having five-times more soldiers and latest equipment? When I discussed this with my elders, teachers and studied about this war, I’ve got to understand that our courageous armed forces and the nation stood together to successfully defend, and perpetrate a humiliating defeat on the aggressor.
