It is interesting to read the reactions of a few Pakistanis. "It belongs to the Mughals, my grandparents, Shia-Sunni-blah" Gentlemen when the war comes to reclaim your forefather's possessions, you should be the first ones to charge machine gun nests singlehandedy, given all your posturing and...

Why does Jinnah's aide matter so much to an alleged Australian like yourself?

Yep.

Wow, now we have third party explanations of direct quotes...if this is the case with a man, Jinnah, no wonder you fight so much over your holy book.

Yeah that's why your username is Baloch Pakistani.

Nice or not, that's who he actually is...making grandiose statements about Islam while living in a Western country. Ask him to live in Pakistan right now, to phir phat ke haath me aa jayegi.

Yeah well, if the concept of nationalism is all wrong, what does it matter and why are you interested who Pakistan was made for? In fact why are you interested in Pakistan at all?

Have you read up on why the PAF was "never involved"? Yes, the Germans only lost WWII because of international pressure. Well done.

At the risk of being banned: Ley Li? :partay:

I want Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis to note this remark very carefully. Despite all we have done and said, we're better than this. This poster's opinions represent the ugly underbelly of Europe, the historically racist and overwhelmingly violent thought process that provides fuel to...

No dinner? Is that all? Obviously he did not take losing the game seriously enough. "Didn't have dinner'- the great sacrifice of our age.

Yeah, considering that as 'classic' nation-on- nation conflicts it was one of the bloodiest post WWII (or was it the bloodiest?) in terms of casualties, surely there must be space for a few English language military histories, either in translation or the original.

Are are there any outstanding books (also translated into English) that came out of this war on either side? I am specifically talking of three genres: a) War Fiction b) Memoirs by combatants c) Histories written by scholars Thanks guys.

As far as I recall Kipling left India in 1889 never to return- are you saying he was in India in 1907 when he got his Nobel? On the broader subject you raised, I doubt he was Indian. He was fascinated and charmed by India but he never forgot that he was an Englishman and a white man first and...

As an Indian I have often wondered- since I first saw this video more than a decade ago- what happened to these boys after they were repatriated. To the best of my knowledge no journalist covered their post war stories. I hope they found respect and peace in their homes. They deserved that at...

Having read you for a while on this forum I thought you knew what you were talking about. But on this topic it is now personally obvious to me that you make grandiose statements without bothering to actually conduct the analyses required to back up your opinion. Everything I said about the...

OP gave the example of the movie in the context of bombers mauling an economy. I referenced the actual raid and observed that it made little impact on the economy. When you say that mission was not about the economy you're (a) creating a strawman and (b) arguing pointlessly, it seems to...

Economy in this context also means, and in fact back then primarily was, a war economy. Plus to the best of my knowledge the ball bearings were also used in commercial production. However, either way that wasn't the main thrust of what I had stated.

I am afraid your belief in the potency of conventional bombers against the enemy's economy is highly exaggerated. As you, I am not speaking of fighter-bombers in battle but deep penetration bombers as strategic weapons against an economy, bombing economic targets. As recounted in multiple...
