Very much relevant. In your earlier comment you had insinuated that these strike corps and armoured divisions have been positioned only in pursuant to ‘cold war doctrine’. Your exact words were: ‘Indian army’s Corps XV, IX, XVI, X, XI, II and I plus the 3rd Armoured...

I just did, didn't I. That 47% of aam admi don't take decisions on war. And post 26/11 there has been a massive change in the sentiments of Indian middle class regarding Pakistan. So the claim that 47% of Indian's negative view on friendship with Pakistan, provides a valid ground to consider...

The point still holds though. 47% don't decide who and when to wage war against. Government does. You are still displaying your amazing skill. Continue.

How is that representative of GoI's official policies? I guess you don't need me to fool you. You appear to be quite capable of that all by yourself.

A quick question, entirely out of curiosity. Where were these Strike Corps, Armoured Divisions etc. positioned before this Peter Pan of 'cold start' came into existence?

Thats called putting the cart before the horse. China That is the carefully constructed perception that your leadership has built up so that it is convenient for them to get way with wasteful expenditure on Military.

I am commenting only on the portion your comment which appears to be another of your lame attempt to justify the brutality of the ‘courageous’ PA. The rest of it is usual tripe that genocide deniers usually indulge in. Taking something out of context appears to be your forte and in that you...

Jingo khush hua....:smitten::smitten:

From ‘Genocide’, The Sunday Times; by Anthony Mascarenhas; 13 June, 1971: ‘This is genocide conducted with amazing casualness. Sitting in the office of Major Agha, Martial Law Administator of Comilla City, on the morning of April 19, I saw the off-hand manner in which sentences were meted out...

Thanks. It wasn't that hard. Was it? I will try to get hold of the book. No need. One source is enough. I would likewise want to see exactly where I have mentioned this '3 million' figure.

When I said Bengali literature I meant biographies and memoirs as well. But I understand. When you have a chip on your shoulder it hardly makes a difference. Why else would you constantly attribute something to me that I have never insinuated? There is enough in English as well. But when you...

To be fair to you, and I am saying this with no tongue in my cheek, you do not have access to Bengali literature which actually provides a huge database. But unfortunately the problem with your posturing is that you appear to fall under the classic definition of deniers - "I can't see, therefore...

And the names of the books are....? Why this hesitancy in naming the books? If that article leaves you with the impression that reporting of during the time can't be trusted, then you should read it again. Ms Bose, the messiah, has actually used reports of two foreign newspapers, particularly...

I am still wondering, what was Mr Sial thinking? What could have possibly possessed him to scratch a dry wound open? I am not complaining though. Its fultu entertainment.

In other words you have pulled that magic number from thin air. So next time don't quote something that you can't substantiate. Not really. Many of those reports are by foreign journalists who had sneaked into East Pakistan or as in most cases taken on tour by PA themselves. Some are by a...

Yes, US declassified documents, ICJ findings, eyewitness accounts of foreign citizens, foreign reporters, foreign activists, representatives of foreign institutions like World Bank, thousands of eyewitness testimony of victims and survivors of atrocities mean zilch. Hail Ms Bose.

The reporter (and many others including representatives of various international organizations) was present at the camps witnessing first hand the inflow of refugees, relentlessly throughout day and night. I don’t think one had to do a headcount to get a ballpark estimate of the flow. If the...

What I find strange is that you are quoting the same author whose integrity and scholarship I am questioning, and that too from that piece which has been widely trashed by not just Mukti Bahini veterans but by several scholars. Shouldn’t you be quoting from someone else to first establish that...

Excuse me for not bothering to respond to your tripe in first para. I will however be eagerly waiting for your colleague's research paper. Hope it is not Qutubuddin Azis's 'Blood and Tears'.

Yes, yes I know what you are talking of. Now how about providing a citation for that magic number. Rubbish. May be you should read my post again. I said newspaper reports, like the one I posted above, not pictures. And no, the world hasn't forgotten anything but the world is wise enough...
