Let's not bring Kargil here, it was a covert Op. If we want to explore that line then India set the precedent. Stating that India was not supporting the Mukti Bahini and before you know it, Ta-Da! what do you know, India was behind it all along! So let's not act all "Holier than Though" and next time, actually bring proof if you wish to allege any wrong doing. In a world where you even need references on your school assignment, something as serious as a torture allegation, just wont stick without an autopsy report.
After we won Kargil our stockmarket boomed whereas Pakistan military rule took place
Why... reading MISSION KASHMIR OVER is too painful for you?
Kargil was in 1999.....the stand off which proved soul destroying for IA was in 2002.
Scenario 1: We relapse to the 2002-03 sitaution, shell the **** out of each other, maybe go to war.
You are right, lets not go there & leave it at that.
Coz if Mukti Bahini is spoken of then refrences shall be made of Ayub's plan to insert paratroopers in J&K in 65 which backfired & they were caught.Op Gibraltar .. was it ?
Ppl might even talk of the PA action into J&K in 47 -48 when they entered J&K state after it acceded to India..
There's that line from a Mukesh song :
" Zikr hota hai jab Kayamat ke, tere jalwon ki baat hoti hai.."
@Hyperion : What do your sources say ?
Or this whole thing could be a ruse by the Pakistani army to take heat of that Tuesday incident and try putting India on defensive. I mean no one has seen the dead body of the Pakistani soldier right ?
2002 was the last time the two countries faced each other, the stand off lasted almost a year but Indians paid a heavy price for their misadventure. !!
