The 6 Mtn Div attack was an operation that was posponed for about 3 days before it went in. It was earlier supposed to go in along with 1 Armd Div (Indian). Later by 17th Sep or so 1 Armd Div handed over the front to 6 Mtn Div. There was'nt much effort put into it and was rightly aborted after a...

If I may assist. The basic training of the soldier would be about 6 months in the regimental centre were, he learns about his regimental history and is taught small arms skills. Drill and obedience of commands forms a major part of the training cycle. Basics in section level tactics. Basic...

Now how is Musharraf any different from Benazir's husband or Nawaz Sharif? This is blatent nepotism, that the city of Karachi may have bear. Lack of accountability will chew up most of the funds.

A meeting that goes through this crucible of heated differences to find a common ground, lasts longer. I think we'll be friends for a long time. If you notice the chest thumping is from the younger civi lot, who have not seen the horrors of war. Looking forward to it sir.

We are both nationalistic, so that is bound to happen. I took a break in this forum for a while, and when I saw you on line, I contacted you via PM, but had'nt enabled it, so I sent a msg through Neo. I wanted (and still want) assistance in researching aspects of my unit, especially the...

Nothing wierd, its the norm. For most of them (barring a few sane members) we will always be genocidal hindu country. There is a deeply ingrained hatred, that crosses nationalism and reaches fanatical levels. Unfortunately the sane chaps here debate far in between and the ground is mainly...

Poor them:coffee:

Militants with weapons. Mutilated bodies of militants with guns. Same as what the Pak army does in Balochistan. What would you know of dirty deeds? Trying learning of what your own army did in Baltistan in 1988. By the way that star of the occasion was one Brig. Parvez Musharraf, and...

Because officers and men posted in formation HQs don't do any fighting.

Rather unbecoming, and disappointing that all you have in mind is confrontation. A marked contrast to officers like MuradK sir. Really lets see... How does it serve your national interest?....and not forgeting the near mutiny you all had in the shia units after the way things turned out. We...

All this time the Pakistanis were made to believe that Kashmiris are fighting for "independence", now Musharraf is willing to give up claim on Kashmir?:coffee: Is he saying that all this talk of "independence" was territorial ambition in disguise?

Normaly I would have avoided this provocative statement, but I thought otherwise. The only ones killing Kashmiris directly are:- 1. The Hizbul Mujahideen - One example is below ( a recent case) The only ones killing Kashmiris in-directly are:- 2. The ISI/ Pak Army via the LET - The story...

Now lets not start throwing fits all over again, I do not know who you are till you give me reason to follow protocol. Tell me something, you chaps have had some of the best plans since 1948, 1965 and 1999, but still manage to bungle up in the end. Why? If you look at the maps, we have given...

The 5 positions were hill complexes occupied by company + strength, deployed in section posts. The 120 odds posts include section posts that made up these hill complexes. Tiger hill was made up of 6 such posts & Tololing complex was made up of two spurs, with 6 posts on the main Tololing spur...

Adux, blain2 is right. The PA regular army had put quite a resistance in Uri, Zoji La, and later at Naushera. They could not recapture any lost ground because of other issues. Besides we too were not allowed to press on and the Kashmir question was put up to the UN, at that time IA was in Kotli...

niaz, I hope you are not a lawyer. These lawyers have the habit of addressing their counterparts with the suffix "honourable", when they actually want to say "@$%*" Lol... As I said that was used as an excuse. As you staed it yourself - thats "real politik". Junagadh, was less comlicated...

1965 was full of such see-saw encounters. That is your perspective. The Indian 1 Armd Bde in Pillora-Chawinda was a regt bde:- Poona Horse Hudson Horse 16 Cav Total tank losses: Destroyed – 29, damaged and repaired (after the war) – 41 Out off approx 135 – 180...

The Raja wanted to stay independent, and he had equal aversion to join India or Pakistan, since his status during the British raj was special - J&K was a pampered principality. We don't really know if Mountbattan's actions were his own or was is part of the British policy. That is rather...

Niaz, Why did Raja Hari Singh acceed to India, when he wanted an independent Jammu & Kashmir from day one?

That maybe one of the reasons, but the two main reason for the fall of the Mughal empire were the Maratha and Sikh insurgencies.
