Although it ended in a ceasefire, after the war India captured more than double the land of Pakistan than Pakistan did of India and lost less soldiers. So it can be said that India won the war.

The following quote is from the Library of Congress Country Studies, conducted by the Federal Research Division of the United States:

"The war was militarily inconclusive; each side held prisoners and some territory belonging to the other. Losses were relatively heavy-on the Pakistani side, twenty aircraft, 200 tanks, and 3,800 troops. Pakistan's army had been able to withstand Indian pressure, but a continuation of the fighting would only have led to further losses and ultimate defeat for Pakistan. Most Pakistanis, schooled in the belief of their own martial prowess, refused to accept the possibility of their country's military defeat by "Hindu India" and were, instead, quick to blame their failure to attain their military aims on what they considered to be the ineptitude of Ayub Khan and his government."
