ha ha ha ....... I just commented in another thread about a commonality of expression between you and Ticker, particularly if the evening tea is served late. :)

ha ha ha ......... Was it you who mentioned to Joe Shearer in another post, in a similar circumstance that, he probably didn't get his evening tea in time. Both of you do have a way of expressing yourself when the evening tea is taken late. ha ha ha

When the discussion took turn towards the aspects being discussed now, the bone of contention was that the resolution was crystal clear, black and white. And that there was no need to interpret its clauses any further or seek additional information and clarifications. And that it should have...

I am sorry, It does not happen this way. Yes Indian diplomats and the staff at the UN, would have had to work hard to get the desired wordings in their favour. Pakistan being a new country, would have certainly found it difficult, without the support of UK, whose representative was retained as...

Those of us who have remained at positions where MOUs etc are drafted and signed would know that there is much more to be done between signing and implementation of the agreement. All things can not be added in the MOUs etc. I have read what @Ticker has been trying to explain. I agree with his...

If that be the case, then your contention is justified. Such poor treatment of any Jawan, literate or illiterate is an un-officer like attribute. Any officer found to be denigrating a soldier should be treated sternly and this practice should never be acceptable at any level.

No I don't know it. It is you who are giving it a different rung. If you think that a batman in an officer's house, may he be Indian Army officer, is a servant - he is not. Please stop turning this into a circus.

This is now turning into a circus.

If you are talking about batman and are re-naming or calling him as domestic servant, then you probably have served in the Army of Timbuktu. The institution of batman is much more than the slur you use. Soldiers do commit suicides for a variety of reasons - they are offcourse human beings...

Sir, This is plain damn mutiny and can never be taken as run of the mill daily affair. If it is taken as run of the mill daily affair, then there is something wrong in a big way. Such an event should normally lead to disbandment of an army fighting echelon and is indeed a serious...

Sir, I agree with you 100%. You see, as Nassr explained, and for me also after reading his explanation, I stand more educated, currently, India is working on only one type of defence i.e. Terminal Defence with regard to overall BMD capability. You have tested a missile on certain occasions, you...

@Nassr in his earlier post has amply described the K-15 and the Khokha Arihant (hehe) perspective. As you can't answer without sufficient knowledge, you start the rants. We are 10 times bigger than Pakistan, 100 times fatter economy, which incidentally has sunk to 5.3, 1000 times stronger armed...

No. You are one distinctive and singular gentleman whose analyses are realistic, very impressive and indeed worth reading. I don't include you in the general impressionists. You are a specialist with some more of your countrymen posting here and are impressive. You exhume knowledge, realism and...

We are two different nations having distinctly different cultures. We separated over 60 years ago and have problems ever since. This does not mean that you or anybody undermines the existence of Pakistan and again start a debate of why Pakistan was created. It was created and now is an...

There is one aspect which emerges from the discussion on this thread and in other Indian analyses as well. And this involves the confidence exhumed by the Indians in their ability including the ability of their armed forces. It indeed is noteworthy however, on many occasions this results in...

The thread has generated some very interesting discussion. Indian strategy with regard to military operations in NE India has been discussed at some length. However, their military operations along western Nepalese border and Leh area have not been given ample treatment. Particularly with...

Well said. The UNSC has passed 13 resolutions to this effect to hold referendum in Kashmir, but the Indians do not agree. Their famous objection is that one of the pre-condition is that Pakistani forces should withdraw from Kashmir and the UNSC resolution allows presence of some Indian troops...

Sir, Your information is outdated and you need to update your knowledge about the deployment of Indian Army. I’ll help you: Supposed Deployment in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) along the LOC Four Corps’ are deployed in IOK (14, 15, 16 and 9 Corps’), over a distance of 1225 km...

From Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) to Burma is certainly a long way. And the type of border also differs from being disputed to being international to again being disputed. This also may indicate the type of threat expected on each of these disparaging mountain stretches. Nassr aptly identifies that...

What you have mentioned has been largely covered in this report. Offensive Plan of the Indian Army against China Raising of Strategic Command was muted much earlier than being called a new development. As per one of the news items, it was to be raised in place of South Western Command...
