To you I would suggest the same thing, read the book. Pakistan won the war over the contested territory. What does that mean? You've been told that it was India that gave the territory back? Don't you think that goes against logic? Or have you been lead to believe that you won the war as well? This 90% reference was from Cloughley's work but I can't find exact the page. Pakistan got 300 square miles out of the 3,500 claimed, thats actually less than 10%, and Pakistan did get almost all the territory it claimed thats why they say we won the war. I don't have a link for you though, I can only suggest you go through impartial books as opposed to believing in heresay.
I know of the Indian losses in the Rann of Kutchh....but nowhere is it mentioned how much territory was with you and whether you captured the entire 3,500 sq miles of the disputed territory.
Pakistan won the war over which contested territory?

well...this shows clearly that runn of kutch was settled AFTER the war...so the idea of pakistan showing goodwill prior to the war..and India not following up to settle the kashmir dispute is not true....instead...the experiences in the Rann of kutch prompted Pakistan of replicating the act in Kashmir.
