In a very large scale 2nd world war USA came to help France, Britain, Russia and all the countries of europe. France and many other countries were liberated with many millions of American lives. But, I have never heard any common american telling a frenchman or a british to kowtow the americans.I never denied India's role in our independence.And am always thankful for that.Now if you browse through numerous other threads,you will find me saying this over and over again.
You lost 3000 soldiers and we lost millions.But yet your fellow countrymen claims they gave us freedom.Its an insult to us and our martyrs and our Freedom Fighters.
When Indian War heroes like General Jacob acknowledges that without Bangladeshi FFs,this would not have been possible,yet many of you feel you gave us freedom(?)
That speaks about the attitude.
In case of vietnam war, China and Russia helped that country against american assaults. Vietnam won, but never I have heard the Chinese or Russians are demanding servitude from the vietnamese. Not only that, only a few months after that war, china and vietnam were engaged in a fierce border war.
Now, compare this to our sacrifice for long 9 months with which India joined its forces for less than two weeks. But, the small ant-minded citizens of India demand thanks and gratitudes and probably a lifelong servitude for that participation.
I believe, for that win in that war against Pakistan, India should forever be grateful to our freedom fighters and common people, because without their support India could never have won that war.
If India wants to prove its winning capability, then it will have to win a war single handedly against Pakistan. Only after a lonely war against Pakistan, Indians will appreciate our contributions in their war in 1971.
