Thanks for the excerpt Jay, but it does not have any 'official', active military/GoP source claiming Pakistani knowledge and/or participation in the raid.I can't say I know much about 1947 issue you have raised being that the entire country and its citizenry was up in arms and not funded, supported and directed by the govt as in the case of your " insurgents". 1971 was the Indian army fighting you guys, and so it can't be claimed as being terrorists...else the Islamic countries support of Palestinians would be called aiding terrorists.
The rebels in Junagadh did in fact form a 'provisional government' in India, and they did receive 'logistical' support from India. They were also indirectly assisted by India's 'blockade' of Junagadh.
In East Pakistan I am referring to the covert support provided to East Pakistani insurgents by the Indian military and para-military organizations, that has been well documented by Indian writers and former military officials. Even leaving aside the argument of 'when' this support started (to debunk the refugee excuse), the fact is that if we use your clear cut logic of 'insurgents = terrorists', India was supporting terrorists against Pakistan in 1971.
But we are going way off topic - there are a few existing threads that have had this exact argument - for one, there is a 'denouncing Indira Gandhi' thread I started. If you wish you can read through those and continue responding there.
