WoW what a neutral and un-doctored by a indian major gen, thanks for correction @CyclopS
Alright.
Since it is customary for pakistani posters in pdf to do claim any info coming out of India as propaganda unless of course it is confirming biases in the way of negative news about India from India; how about the pakistan army website then?

From the above link it is clear that there was indeed a war in Kashmir in 1971.
We are politically weak and internationally alone in 71 and you're backed by Soviet Union, thats why we were defeated @CyclopS
That's not true.
Both India and pakistan had the same level of influence with their respective allies.
If anything, the rapidly growing superpower China and the premier superpower of the time, USA(who supported you economically, politically and provided you with the materials for your defensive needs) were in the Pakistani court, you had the best of both the worlds.
Apart from these two nations, I think both Jordan and Iran too were supporting you.
Hell, US sent a full blown carrier battle group Task Force 74, led by the nuclear powered USS Enterprise, with several destroyers, an SSN, amphibious assault ships filled to the brim with marines, a refueler and an ammunition ship.
That doesn't look like pakistan was alone at all.
Russians also claim that the Brits sent the HMS Eagle in the Bay of Bengal whom the former chased out.
The Soviet naval assets also hindered the TF-74 and stopped the Americans from intervening.
