Your army has been fighting your own people for 15 years, with no end in sight. Says a lot, if they can't finish a war inside their own country for so long.

have they ever been out numbered by 1 against 20 troops with limited supplies

The point is to not get into such a position in the first place.

Your army has been fighting your own people for 15 years, with no end in sight. Says a lot, if they can't finish a war inside their own country for so long.

And your Army has been fighting Martians in J&k and Northeast for 50 years.if not so then you agree that they are Indian occupied territories whose native are fighting for freedom...

I am happy that they never surrender....like cowards

Yes like those cowards who loose just 800 km away from capital in 1962 or those who lie arms during a civil war in 1971 2000km away from capital...

Do you even know what is the total terrorist cadre of North east....hardly 5000 TOTAL ....and its not entirely Army ....mostly paramilitary.....Assam rifles...and state police.....with very low Casualty rate...


Also we never Bombed our civilians and use Tanks...to flush out terrorists.

Again starting cheerleading.


We never surrendered and rest is history....and i dont. Want to post the pictures of your POW....surrendered to terrorists in FATA or whatever

The insurgency in Kashmir is dead and buried. One or two infiltrators and terrorists keep getting halaled every now and then, but that is not comparable to the full scale war being waged perennially by the Pak armed forces in their own country. As you pointed out yourself, you have been fighting for 15 years, using tanks, armor, artillery and fighters jets - to what end? Your armed forces are not competent enough to quell a war by your own people, and you think that's something to be proud of?

The Indian army does not even fight in Kashmir - only the RR and Kashmiri policemen do. And all they do is keep the state peaceful. Indian Kashmir is more peaceful than any inch of Pakistan.

Yes like those cowards who loose just 800 km away from capital in 1962

Not an inch of territory was lost. What would you call the incompetent army that surrendered half the country and the largest surrender since WW2? Here they stand, with heads bowed and knees bent shamelessly in front of the Indian army:

 

[Assange]

Please stick the point...Do deviate from the point....Don't drag Kashmir here...

They look like a gay pair sitting and enjoying the sites....
