why not? "V.Batra (IA account) charged the enemy head on ..."
At least compare things on equal ground. if you wanna compare physical strength of lion compare to hyena, go 1v1. Pak had just 40k regular troops in East.P compared to 175k mukitis and 3-4 corps of IA.
I think Dehli had been center of all the ruler except Sikhs. So spare me that present day India has 'always' been ruled by natives. Punjab always had to bear first brunt of aggressor as it lies on door steps of hundukush mountains.. be it Alexander or other invaders. British cam from east side not from North. Yes, S.India has remai untouched but mainly because, every ruler in Dehli, had enough manpower to handle major provinces like UP, Mahrashtra, Rajhstan, Punjab, Kashmir.. so unless they gained sufficient power. then they moved towards Bengal or Hyderabad.. So you got lucky too..
No. "Good times create weak men and troubled times create strong men". Anyway, battle Indians couldn't stand battle hardened people.. e.g. before attacking India, afghan had to fight among themselves for supremacy in AFG.. then they attacked India. Punjab was only weak spot as 1) it was just plain 2) Center (dehli) never spent enough resources for its defence...thats why major battles were fought near dehli, panipatt etc..

@Adonis
Ever wondered why US soldiers are body builder? They had yo carry weight. Of guns, armor, medic, etc etc... A regular PA soldiers, I think carry 22kg to battle,,
anyway, more physical strength means you can carry more
ammo.
and again what I meant was physical strength is important but
not the only factor in battlefield..
