Pakistan saw one of the largest displacement of people during the beginning of our full-scale WAR ON TERROR.
Millions of people were relocated and provided shelter & safety far away from their infiltrated lands. The best thing about this mass migration was the PEOPLE's willingness to RELOCATE for a temporary period of time because the tribal elders and their trust on the constitution and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was firm and concrete.
There's no example in recent or older history of such a massive exodus of people. Nobody's ever rebuilt schools, hospitals, colleges, roads and infrastructure after such massive destruction.
For some odd reason, some pdf pakistanis think we can't put in 2 clicks to fact check them.
The oppressed, languishing people clearly so wanted to be thrown out of their homes unceremoniously.

DO realise that you are patting yourself on the back for “solving” a problem you created.
You're foolish to dishonor our martyred soldiers, their bravery is second to none: Men of God something which your lot CANNOT understand:
نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ
The PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN asked the military for a military intervention, they're much happier in SWAT today than they were back in 2009. Please do some research before dishonoring our Shuhadah on this forum
LOL.
Dishonour?
My initial riposte was both factual and completely kosher. Had you dialled down that persecution complex, you’d have seen that.
Either way, don’t ask me to consider anything when you yourself aren’t willing to give the same benefit of the doubt; sitting in a comfortable room far away from the conflict and calling our soldiers names.
On topic:
India's jester of an army chief will hammer the final nail in his coffin with this new development. If this dumbass lets loose a bunch of bhartis with drones on SEPARATISTS he's sure to speed up the process of a referendum in Kashmir under U.N security council's pending resolution. Not to mention he'd be fanning the flames of an already burning valley.
The ONLY solution to stop the flames is for him to vacate the valley with his raping murdering dogs before the flames reach further south down the valley. Blippin idiot will soon find out why
Relax, we won’t be sending drones.
We don’t need drones, jets, tanks or even arti to do something our men on the ground are sufficient for. All we needed was a polity brave enough to not hinder IA, which we have gotten now. And as expected the terries are dropping like flies.
The only solution to stop the strife in Kashmir is for pakistan to stop sending terrorists into India, stay within its own means and spit out that Indophobic pill it has been trying to swallow for over half a century now,
“Indians will soon find out”, “India will burn”, “Kashmir will be ours”, blah to the blah to the blah…..
While Pakistan was suffering economically, diplomatically, democratically and going through coup after coup dreaming of the above, India was busy becoming a prosperous BRICS nation with one of the fastest growth rates in the world, while simultaneously fighting off pak and china.
But do carry on, Pakistanis have always hoped against hope that India be as destabilized as Pakistan is, not that it’s working.
It's the bitter truth unfortunately.
An Indian lecturing someone else about revisionist history. This should be good!
Ad hominem.
Facts.
Exactly. It's a PRELUDE to the war, not an actual part of it. Just like the Rann of Kutch dispute counts as a prelude to the war.
Yes it was the part of the war.
Literally half a month before another major offensive with 10s of 1000s of soldier participting in it, if that ain't war I don't know what is.
In the actual war, you attacked us in what was a rather poor attempt to try and take large portions of the Punjab and cripple our military. Your invasion was stopped in 17 days, making this one of the shortest wars in history.
LOL what?
Let's give you the benefit of the doubt let's say that Gibraltar was not a part of the war.
Literally the next offensive was the Grand Slam by PA and not by IA.
The battle didn't reach punjab until the 5th-6th September when we launched the counter offensive hence the failure of yet another pakistani op.
Again, wrong. The largest tank battle since WW2 (and the 2nd largest tank battle in history) was the Battle of Chawinda, which we won. Your advance was halted:
No you didn't, the battle was largely undecisive, you halted our advance in
YOUR territory, after our armoured columns were sufficiently thinned out in the tank battles of Phillori, Barki and Assal Uttar, all of which we won
decisively.
At the end of the war we were in your territory, you might have stopped us temporarily before the UN intervened but the fact remains that we were fighting inside
pakistani territory.
Thus, claims of “victory” remain moot as you failed to remove us.
BTW this is all nitpicking, and it really doesn’t matter if pak stopped our counter offensive that one time after continuously losing battles in its own territory, or who wanted whose territory and who shot the first bullet. All that maters is when the war ended eventually
IA had captured more territory than PA.
And we devasted Onka harbour in response.
And then we launched Op. Python and eventually blockaded you.
Not really, we did far more damage to you then you did to us. Everyone knows that much, which is why everyone considers 1971 an Indian victory.
That's still one more than PN.
When all merchant ships have to ask you(IN) to be let in and when PN can't operate freely in their own territory, that's a successful blockade in anyone's book.
Didn't happen. You made that up.
War of any kind puts a strain on the resources especially so(usually) for the losing side.
You not only lost land, you lost a tax generating avenue which as proven now will surpass Pakistan in 2-3 years.
As per Hussain Haqqani, former pak Ambassador to both USA and Sri Lanka.
The breakaway of East Pakistan to become Bangladesh was the most traumatic event in Pakistan’s
short life as an independent nation. The country’s population was reduced by more than half. Pakistan
lost a significant portion of its territory, its geopolitical role in Southeast Asia, and an important
segment of its economy.
Our economy still continued to do better than yours up until the '90s, after which is declined due to other reasons.
With foreign support, sure.
But what happened eventually was that the true potential of both our countries showed and now we have ended up becoming a BRICS nation with one of the fastest growth rates in the world today whereas Pakistan is languishing still.
I doubt Bangladesh would be able to keep that up in the long run. Also, how well they do really isn't relevant, I care about how good Pakistan does, and our economy is finally starting to rapidly grow again.
On the contrary, all forecasts project Bangladesh continuing its growth pattern for decades to come, it’s Pakistan with its rising debt and falling Forex reserves that we can’t be sure if it can maintain its already insufficient growth rate.
Because the region surrounding the Siachen is what matters. If India gets a hold of that, it becomes a problem.
Soooo, Siachen is important.
Again, if it wasn't important pakistan wouldn't have attacked us when we captured all the important points in Siachen.
Even though we thought of most of them as an inferior people, they were the one who started the atrocities. Before the Pakistani military came in, Bengali militias were executing every non-Bengali they could find. That's what triggered the Pakistani crackdown.
No they didn’t. That’s a lie.
Cultural differences have always brought some minor struggles but it was never a full on genocide like how the Pak forces initiated in East pak.
The same difference are there in the Punjabi dominated eastern parts vs the western portions of Pakistan today which is why some sectarian issues always emerge.
What triggered Bangladesh’s freedom movement was the tyranny of Pakistan as it was forcefully making the Bengalis change their linguistic heritage and accept a foreign culture, under represented them in major governmental organisations, deposed their democratically elected leaders, humiliated them on the basis of not being a martial race, etc.
The way in which Bangladesh has risen today, in fact proves that they were never inferior and it was Pakistan in the wrong.
They were bound to leave eventually, and it was almost 50 years ago. Most Pakistanis don't particularly care.
Maybe you are saying so coz an Indian is in the picture but you don’t really forget these things.
If we ended up losing a territory that became much more successful than us while we were languishing economically, it would irk us too.
