If they've changed, that's wonderful. @SoulSpokesman Know any more of them? @SoulSpokesman Know any more of them? You may butt in every time, and be welcome, dear boy. Elgin Road বুঝলাম ক্লাব আর কলেজের মাঝখানে?

Golf Green! Nice. You certainly retain a grip on the high spots of Calcutta!

I couldn't care about the Ummah, but I think it an outrage that a genuine citizen of India should be harassed and should have his or her rights of citizenship questioned by utterly vulgar and unprincipled gutter scum.

Unfortunately, they are big talkers and do nothing but sit around and solve the world's problems. They are good in art, in cinema and in music, but not in anything effective. When I was in the IT Services industry, my typical team composition was 35% Ghatis, 35% Goltis, 10 to 15% Tamils to...

Oh, no, no, no.....they are too loosely organised and dynastic for my support to go to them. It's just that to destroy the Sangh Parivar, it has to be a combination of the Congress and the regional parties. It goes without saying that the Sangh Parivar has to be destroyed, for India to...

I do, at an amateur level. I think I am beyond the narrow niche of a Bhadralok, although I still feel the pull of my Bangal, not just Bangali, heritage.

This is one of the remaining neutral or objective journalists, on the subject of the spanking that the BJP has got in the Karnataka elections. Read on. @CallSignMaverick @Halwa Brigade @jamahir @Kaniska @Krptonite @MilSpec @Skimming @SoulSpokesman @Chute @Destranator @Goritoes @villageidiot

Dear kansaheb That's Indira Gandhi. Not difficult to remember.

What?

Oh, great. No more snarky remarks. I am age-barred. Thanks millions. I need reminding that I'm different. One day I will come out with my psychological profiling of the bhakt, and I am saving my powder till that day. That prowess features as a 'villian' (I don't make spelling mistakes. Ever)

I was around at that time. Some very junior officers met some Awami League people, and a huge conspiracy theory was built around that. On the East Pakistani side, there was a navy steward named Mujibur Rahman, abd Pakistan GHQ lost its marbles.

Neither of these were used within India. That is why, as in their renaming Allahabad Prayag Raj, and their wish to rename Hyderabad Bhagyanagar, the Hindutva brigade are trying to do away with the name India, as well as the constitution that names India a secular democracy. It's a reality...

Why does it bother you? Nothing left to think about?

An excellent analysis. The reason for the Indian Army's reluctance even after Searchlight was their disposition against China. Jacob, chief of staff to Eastern Command, reporting to Arora, had to take away several formations from the China front, with the consent of the then chief of Army...

Once again, don't talk nonsense. We heard - my mother and I - the speech made by Mujib after his meeting with Yahya, the day after the speech. There was no Indian propaganda about events in East Pakistan at the time, only hostile reports. Afterwards, Indian stories dwelt on the pathetic state of...

Where did you get these fairy tales? I was there at the time, the son of a father in a senior position in the decision making at the state. East Pakistanis were treated as hostiles, and during the 1965 conflict, there were skirmishes on both sides of the border, the Bengal side and the...

Mujib had no backing from either India or Soviet Russia until long after Operation Searchlight. Your information is sadly defective. Even during his epochal speech on Ramna Maidan, Mujib identified himself and the whole of East Pakistan as integral parts of Pakistan. What he got as a reward was...

Michel Danino is neither an historian, nor an accurate narrator of the historiography of the Indus Valley Civilisation. He is among the foremost charlatan's who reflect the Hindutva brigade's efforts at twisting history to meet their need for an alternate mythology of pre-historic and...

That you have every right to do. I don't have to like it, but you needn't bother about that. It won't be a hindrance to your posting your opinion. Point is, he didn't, when he was PM. Not much point in raking this up now. Especially from the Indian point of view. This is something between the...
