its a shame really to see the pics of those "muslims" who fought against muslims under the british flag and for what? some salary and medals from gora sahab. there are many turkish members here on this forum . how they will feel when they will see these pics that we are honoring are of those traitors from subcontinent who fought against ottomans under british flag.Nationalism, sectarianism and materialism have caused huge damage to us . atleast i cant take pride in looking at the pics of those who fought for brits and i am sure no body can justify such actions from Quran and hadith but many will try to get it justified by using some lame excuses and logics just to prove what their forefathers did was right .
i apologize from the turk muslim brothers here but they should remember that vast majority of muslims from sub continent supported ottoman empire and only 0.1% took pride in serving their gora masters.

the deserts in '71

As the war progressed in the Naya Chhor sector of Sindh, the outnumbered 55 Inf Bde was reinforced by the 60 Inf Bde, and the defensive battle was taken over by the 33 Infantry Division, whose GOC MG Nasir Ahmed, would be wounded in action on 12 December. https://t.co/8eQCc7LiX3

General Shariff took over command of the 33 Infantry Division after Nasir's injuries, and by ceasefire, attempts by the enemy to contact the 'green belt' had been denied.

Shariff later rose to be the first CJCSC in '76, but took early retirement soon after the coup of July 1977. https://t.co/l9ytUDlZDn

2001 saw a military escalation
a year with 'life under canvas' came with its blessings
a time to know your soldiers beyond ops & training
as I dined with them, laughed on their jokes, listened to their music, I got hooked to Saiful Muluk https://t.co/oXLcOcuj1M

the Chaffee squadron was embroiled in combat against 'C' Sqn 45 Cavalry of the IA - whose squadron commander was also killed in action.

despite all efforts, no blood relatives could be contacted to claim the award, thus the regiment now has it on display in the officer's mess. https://t.co/6fMEnO6KpM
