Thanks for sharing ehsan bhai,
(Indian view) My father was in his teens when 1965 happened. There wasnt a radio in our house. Actually there used to be very few in the whole village. He used to walk kms to the village center ( Panchayat office) to hear the radio. There used to be large crowd gathered to hear the news. Not many people from our place had joined the army at that time. ( we are from far south). But still patriotism was very evident. After the war many people joined the army, including my father. He was only 15 at that time.
