Who was the Prime Minister of India at the time of 1965 war?

  • (A) Jawaharlal Nehru
  • (B) Lal Bahadur Shastri
  • (C) Indira Gandhi
  • (D) Morarji Desai
It was Lal Bahadur Shastri who became India’s second Prime Minister, stepping into the role when Jawaharlal Nehru died. Though some might think of Nehru first, it was actually Shastri who led during tense times. His voice rose strongest in 1965, amid fighting between India and Pakistan. Instead of staying quiet, he rallied people with words like "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan". That phrase stuck, echoing through villages and cities alike. The war didn’t drag on forever; a truce came through UN efforts in September that year. Peace talks moved forward, ending with the Tashkent Declaration signed in January 1966. Sitting across from Pakistan’s leader Ayub Khan made history - but also marked the end. Hours after putting pen to paper, Shastri fell ill and never recovered. Death took him in Tashkent, cutting short a steady hand at the helm. Only later did Indira Gandhi step into the position left empty. Morarji Desai waited even longer, reaching the post much afterward in 1977.
