Guns Fall Silent on the LoC

that would have been demanded only if we had given any credence to this article in the first place, it's a unilateral action and doesn't change anything on the ground. We will raise our voice against it if it makes the lives of Kashmiris more miserable and behind these actions, India would try to change the demographics of the region but in a bigger scheme of things it doesn't matter if it exists or not. It's long been the policy of the state to give diplomatic and moral support to Kashmiris for their rebellion, Pakistan is not going for a war on this issue anytime soon. If it is acceptable for Kashmiris, we have no other choice but to accept it. If it is not acceptable to Kashmiris and they continue to resist, we will continue to raise our voice against it and place our full diplomatic and moral weight behind it. Kashmir problem is not so complex for Kashmiris but too difficult and complicated for the aggressor who is trying to forcefully keep control over the region for the past seventy-plus years but failed to sway the populous to its side despite trying all the options in the book. The frustration of the state is quite visible in its actions post removal of this article.

No one gave credence to the article. Nor your NSA or ours. But some higher ups on both sides other than the military are definitely involved.
When this issue was created (solution on Indian side) I made an observation, and even some Pakistani journos or ex military made an observation that IK/military was made known of this decision either directly or through US. And that both sides will huff hot for like 2 years and this will become an new normal. By my count not even 2 years. It's not possible for both economies to be at throat for no other plausible reason. Either go to war or don't.
I support the ceasefire for this exact process. This is pandemic time and it's time to concentrate on people and economic recovery. It will also help Kashmiris on both sides.

Very well articulated. War will not lead to anything. China starting a war for someone? No chance.
china can start a war against India, may be for more expansion but Pakistan doesn't have better economy and i don't think that there is any will to fight. it's not like old days. unfortunately we are in a terrible situation thanks to corrupt people. it's so sad. we still don't accept Indian unilateral abrogation decision but there is nothing that we can do. foreign policy is also terrible.

BSF makes up for their lack of competency by their increase in strength in comparison to an regular Indian infantry unit....BSF unit is more than 9 company strong.....more than 1000 men.

Interesting, would this hold for areas they are solely deployed (WB and IB) or also where they are co-deployed with IA (LOC)?

as napoleon said at waterlo.... we will match them with our lancers....so we match them with our mujahids :p:,,, besides what kind of competency is required when you have to just fire from your position, static and duck down when fired at. paramilitaries or civil armed forces are competent enough for that (defence).


If that's the case, why don't they deploy the BSF along the whole LOC and also in Siachen?

the same reason we dont deploy rangers or mujahids on the whole LOC. it ll always be a mix of regulars and paramilitaries/CAFs

Makes sense for our side, but don't know why they'd need BSF on the LOC.
