It is not been there and done that.

If troops are deployed against BD, it means that BD is a cognizable and immediate threat.

Even in 1971 such a situation never was there. It was there when the intent was to take East Pakistan on.

I have not seen deployment when I was in a position to see so, if indeed they were deployed, since I would have a role to play in my position.

Therefore, I am indeed astonished and alarmed with the pronouncement that the BD border is bristling with troops!

Well its not that our troops are deployed towards the border anyways
and thats because same goes on the other side. Last time some serious
deplyments were done in a short period of time when Myanmar suddenly got weird
but they were scared off(insert suitable word) after initializing the flamboyant response!

 

[IndianArmy]

BTW, The names that you have mentioned served in 1971 and were there in the Army during the Kargil Ops.

To state that BD border is bristling with troops is totally loose talk.

The names you mentioned all know me.

Well then what ever floats your boat, I am not in a position to doubt an Influential hero of my country on mere assumptions based on the genuineness of this virtual world... Quote me where I have said BD borders are Bristling with troops, I have been cautious enough to not say that, at the same time counted the times u have been using that word against me... To the far extent I have said, Security measure have been beefed up, never knew it had a similar synonym Bristling...

True there is no requirement for border deployment since the threat level is very low, if indeed anyone wishes to perceive BD as a threat. Such an imagination would be mere kiteflying.

Likewise, there is no deployment on the Indo Nepal or Indo Bhutan borders.

Only BSF is deployed in an anti smuggling role on the BD border.

However, where there is medium to high threat there is deployment as in our Northern areas.

There is no threat from BD nor does India have any reason to pose a threat to BD.

Our role is defensive, not aggressive and we perceive thats just the civilized way of life, however if we wanted to beat the bunny out of our neighbors then that could have been arranged for sure. Its just not worth the trouble though.

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

Beat any bunny that you wish to beat or even run with the hares and hunt with the hounds.

We are at peace with ourselves and don't find BD a threat.

You talk in the same frequency as an angry Brat.
A little less fight is a good thing for this Earth,
anyways if you really fought in '71 then kudos for that,
live a happy life.

No one fights.

But where I do get disturbed is alarmist attitude be it of you people or be it of anyone.

Believe it or not, I find Zabanya's post very balanced and it is not that I agree with Zabanya.

No country is perfect and we should also be able to see our own weaknesses and strength. There is no requirement to spin fairy tales.

This is not an oneupmanship game that we are playing here at this forum. It is to learn of each other.

Of course, there will be disagreements.

Even the 2001 incident at Pyrdiwah was a BSF issue.

Mortars were used and the BSF has mortars.

If the IA was used, then the situation would have been different.

But then, if some people cross the Rubicon, then it is open season.

And anyway my ancestry is from Barisal and so I could be forgiven!

The 2001 incident was called upon by the BSF themselves and they
had what they should been taught, our BDR (I still prefer the old name)
fought efficiently with minimal causalities. Still the case was not initiated by
our troops because they were not instructed to do so.

After watching the recent case of Sarfraj by the rangers, it seems to me
Indian BSF and their counterparts in Pakistan should practice Yoga for a change.
You guys are unnecessarily paranoid and aggressive,
though we do have our versions
but not in that scale.

I have a different version.

It is 0200h here and so I will let it pass.

What is this Sarfraz case?

OK

You are welcomed to wear your pink stiletto.

I have never worn one.

As a consequence of your obsessive compulsive disorder you turn pink every now and then, so we politely call you the neighborhood troll.

WoW now thats something! BD is not new for him. It was his first war-field. I think he should visit the war memorials in Chittagong.

Indian and BD armies has very close relation. I hope this visit will further enhance ties.

 

[damiendehorn]

Indian and BD armies has very close relation.

Very close relations? Which relations above that of any-other standard country to country or military to military relations are you talking about.

 

[IndianArmy]

We'll hang tough until the end or hang out your shingle, the fact lies in front....

Well the relationship is surely on the mend.

Does it matter what Fallstaff said?

Pink?

Notwithstanding the Blighty, I claim no blood but Indian, unlike others who delight to claim foreign descent and wallow in the pleasures of the local land and not return to lands that they claim as their own because of descent!

Personally, I am proud to be a son of the soil and not a foreign implant.

I daresay I have any disorder except that I do have a fine acumen to spot braggadocio.

It may appear to you as a disorder since much of what you all claim gets exposed for what it is worth.
