Pakistan. India's PM bit the dust from the magnitude of defeat, India couldn't take Lahore or Sialkot despite outnumbering us several times over, and were very eager beavers to return any land. I think it's fair to say we won.
It's an easy answer: Pakistan won and India was annihilated, the IAF was facing a threat of extinction!

The PAF vs. IAF attrition rate speaks wonders WRT to the Air Wars.
On the ground, it was largely a stalemate, the war itself didnt last long enough. On defense of Pakistan especially Lahore and the Punjab the ground forces backed by air power pulverized the enemy and we are proud of that.
"Lahore or Sialkot" were deflections to spread the relatively smaller Pakistani troops thin by opening multiple war front. I see no hope for Pakistan if they couldn't figure out this simple but effective war strategy even after 51 long years.
India won the war as it prevented Pakistan from getting Kashmir which it was trying to get by cutting the supply route in Akhnoor sector through Operation Grand Slam.
Indian decision to cross the international border was a brilliant decision and forced Pakistan to stop the offensive in Jammu and pull back it's troops from Akhnoor and defend Punjab instead.
Thus, the war was a major victory for India as it foiled Pakistan's effort to get Kashmir.
Ironical though !If your not going to say anything useful don't say anything at all.
