4.  PERCEPTUAL FAILURE OF PAKISTAN
ARMYS STAFF COLLEGE QUETTA �
RAJPUTS AND MANY RACES IN INDIA
ARE FAMOUS FOR BRAVERY IN
BATTLE FIELD BUT ONE MAJ GEN
JAVED HASSAN BELIEVED
OTHERWISE !!!!!!!!! A very serious flaw of
this book is lack of serious research in
analyzing mindset of the principal
characters who launched Kargil operation.
Naseem Zehra claims that she was
researching the book from 2002 or so.In
17 years she could have easily
discovered that Javed Hassan authored a
book sponsored by Pakistan Armys staff
college which made all kind of bogus

5. claims like claiming that “the Hindu belief
system lacked commitment for sacrifice
on battlefield” (page-58- India – A Study
in Profile-Brigadier Javed Hassan) .That
India would be unable to sustain reverses
(page208). Naseem Zehra could have
related this book to Javed Hassans
preconceived gross underestimation of
India. The most dangerous part of this
book was that it was sponsored by
bcommand and staff college Quettas
“Faculty of Research and Doctrinal
Studies” and was distributed to all officers
by Pakistan Army book club. This was
seriously relevant to the issue as there
was a widespread mass mindset in

6. Pakistan Army inunderestimating
India.This I personally saw in my service
in Pakistan Army in 1981-94. However
Naseem Zehra does not point out any
such thing.Just shows how ham handedly
she worked on the book. All along the
book if Naseem Zehra had done her
home work carefully , something entirely
feasible and easy to do she could have
answered many questions, like Major
General Javed Hassans gross under
estimation of the Indians like the
discussion on page 119 :- India -
