Indira Gandhi helped train Tamil rebels, and reaped whirlwind

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

Although the extent of Indian help to LTTE is unknown it was indeed a gross misstep to allow LTTE to grow its roots in India. Versions differ from military training to Prabhakaran and his group to local, non-govt support by Tamil sympathizers in Tamil Nadu. If the former is true, as stated by the OP as well, then we had no business poking into the affairs of Sri Lanka because it wasn't a hostile country and the people in question Sri Lankan Tamils were not Indians to begin with. And in case of support to LTTE by Indian Tamils, we shouldnt have turned a blind eye and curbed any efforts to arm or train LTTE cadres.

One of the reasons behind supporting LTTE is believed to be Sri Lanka's closeness to Pakistan.For instance in 1971 war Pakistani planes,ships on refueled in Sri Lanka,

Sri Lanka adopted a neutral position in the conflict. If India wanted to refuel planes on the island it would have been free to do so.

Thats not neutral position, but 'legs in 2 boat at the same time' position. Do you really think India would have send their combat planes from North India to SL just to refuel during 1971. You could have remained neutral by saying no to both India & Pakistan but you adopted a more pro-Pakistan policy in the name of neutral position.

I know, that is why you guys keep calling us "dirty chinks".

When in fact, it was INDIA who backstabbed China, in 1959. Which eventually led to the 1962 war.

How ironic.

Thanks to 1962, India is home to the 4th largest armed forces, not to mention the nuclear weapons and long range missiles. Thanks to 1962, you changed the psyche of a country who until then had no regional or global ambitions to a one who will always be at loggerheads with China. With 1962, China created for herself an eternal rival and this rivalry will continue until China becomes democratic or India becomes Communist.

Offcourse Pakistanis will despise Indira Gandhi. She really was a "man woman" as described by one Pakistani here. She split the back of Pakistani in two and for good measure she shoved her foot into Sri Lanka's mouth when it became a pest to India. In the current day scenario, if she was PM of India she would have no reason to have acted as she did then. But God bless her for her balls of steel then. Operation Blue Star was also an indication of strong steel like leadership. If she went on to remain PM of India to current day, Pakistan would most probably be minus many of its current states and would most probably have had a huge chunk of its territories gifted to Afghanistan and Iran. Like Durga astride a tiger she was not a woman to be ticked off. It took a veggie eating Hindu woman to show all those strong Persian and Middle Eastern descended Pakistanis what a good fight is about. Now just becareful. Her grandson is soon to sweep into office. Those Gandhis are a bad bunch to tick off so stop insulting our big mamma !

What can I say bhai. Its about time that we got more leaders who can say "do it and get it done and think about the consequences later"

There are days when I think the same. Sometimes this approach works best. What use is economic and political power if we cant do things as we want them.

Why dont you tell your govt. to accuse us instead of posting videos? I have never seen any of your elected heads accusing India. And guess what, nothing else matters!

I wish Indra ruled a big longer because that would have given time to Pakistan for making an alliance with smaller countries of the region and fragment India once for all.

Are you seriously equating a terrorist act with an act which is the open violation of sovereignty of your country by a super power.

Anyways, after PNS Mehran attack the world have seen how much incompetent your security agencies are to protect your defence installation let alone the citizens of the country.
