During the 1965 operations against Pakistan, Major General Rajindar Singh led his formation into battle against numerically superior and better-equipped enemy armoured forces in the Sialkot Sector. Inspired by his tactical ability and leadership, his troops inflicted heavy tank casualties on the enemy armoured forces.

By his presence in the thick of the battle in utter disregard of his personal safety, Major General Rajindar Singh inspired our tank crews to engage the enemy forces closely. He commanded the highly complex armoured formation in an outstanding manner and established such moral ascendancy over the enemy that in the later stages of the campaign the enemy tanks avoided battle and had to be sought out to be destroyed. Throughout these operations, Major General Rajindar Singh displayed conspicuous bravery and leadership of a very high order in the best traditions of the Indian Army.
