If Pakistan had not gone over onto the attack after defeatign the intial Indian attack in the lahore sector, the hsitory books would call 65 or at leas tthe battles for lahore an Indian defeat.
The Indian attack in Lahore sector was meant to take pressure off Akhnoor, hence the Indian aim was achived.

The Pakistanis did counter attack in the KhemKaran sector, which ended in defeat for them in the battle of Assal Uttar.
