India's Forgotten Soldiers (IPKF)

[Abingdonboy]

The last words fromMaj Birendra Singh of 13th Battalion, The Sikh Light Infantry Regiment, stating; "Not to worry, We'll hold on..."

This proof that without proper intelligence how fatal it could be...
Salute to brave soldier..

Actually that was not a matter of not having proper intelligence, but mostly LTTE having intelligence on IPKF movements. It says LTTE processed radio equipment.

Gandhi family From Indira to Sonia are the main culprits behind genocide of Lankan Tamils

What genocide?

Though IPKF lost soldiers it is the only one which emerged a hero in the whole episode - it fought with its arms tied behind the back while there were so many backstabbers - Srilankan government, Karunanidhi - the b***d who never even came to Chennai port to receive the IPKF troops returning back, diplomats from Delhi including Dixit, army officers sitting in Madras ordering the IPKF commanders without understanding the ground realities - The triggering point of the fight between IPKF and LTTE - Thilappan fasting could have been prevented by the Indian Ambassador there but for his callous attitude nor the death of 13 of the 17 LTTE leaders due to cyanide consumption once the army officers in Chennai decided to ignore the local IPKF commander's advice and tried to handover the leaders to SL army.

Sri Lanka gov as a state never backstabbed india. What Premadasa did was done even without the consent of the Lankan gov.
And don’t forget to mention MGR . He was the one who facilitated LTTE to obtain foreign weapons, radio equipment (that helped to eavesdrop indian communications and subsequently finish off the para unit) using ports in TN to fight with IPKF.
The LTTE cadres would have killed themselves even if they were not handed to SLN. The reason Prabhakaran sent them cyanide was for them to commit suicide and find a reason to attack IPKF
