Long Thread:

Was #ManipurViolence vi0lece by Christians against Hindus? Was it only a targeted religion based Vi0£ence or there is more to it? What was the real cause?

Ready?

Manipur is a beautiful State with rich ethnic culture and suddenly it was MADE to burn.

What was the reason?

It all started After #Manipur High Court's order to State Govt on including Meitei community in the ST category.

Now you will say what is Meitei Community! Right?

2/20
So, to proceed 1st on Demographic Composition of #Manipur

Manipur is home to Meiteis who're Original Residents of State. They form 53% of State population (including Meitei Mu$lims).They are mainly concentrated in Imphal Valley.
They present REAL Ethnic Culture of Manipur.

Some 🇮🇳 friends want to talk about this——the Battle of Rezang La.
What is it described in PLA's war history document?
Then this thread is about it——
"Rezang La Battle" in PLA's war history document
Short thread+ ImageImage
Mainly based on #PLA official war history:
—"History of Self-Defense Counterattack in China-India Border" + ImageImageImage
First, there is no such title as "Rezang La Battle" in PLA's war history documents, bcoz the battle at pass of RezangLa is a part "Pangong lok Sweeping Operation" which PLA carried out in Pangong lok area in Nov 1962.+ Image

Lets do a short #T90 vs #T72 visual diff thread. #T90 is an evolution of the #T72 & was originally supposed to be called T-72U or T-72BU. Also, remember that early #T90S exported were actually #T72 turrets on #T90 hull. The pic is a T-90A Mod 1992 (feel free to correct) #εpsilon Image
But first, how do you know it is a #T90 or #T72 in the first place? Look at the wheels, it should have 6 road wheels with these spoke & cavity type design. If there are 6 cavities (pic 1), it is a newer #T72, if there are 8 (pic 2) older #T72. If there are 8, then confirmed #T72. ImageImage
#T90M's wheel cavities (also called indentations on all #T72 and #T90) extend till the rim edge instead of just short on older #T90A, #T90S and all #T72
Pic 1: #T90M without skirts, identations till wheel rim edge
Pic 2: #T72B3, identations just short of wheel rim edge. ImageImage

Okay let me pen down some facts about #Satyapal_Malik controversy.
1. IAF operates 20 IL76 to provide logistics & troops induction support to Indian Army & to para miltiary forces during war, emergency deployment, natural disasters etc.
2. #IndianArmy & #CRPF uses road convoys for regular mov of Tps (soldier's going on leave vice versa, (de)induction of tps
3. Air Tpt request is given to IAF in case of adverse weather conditions.
4. 99.99% of Tps movement happens by road till date as it is impossible for IAF-
To provide Endless sorties in a counter terrorism grid.
5. IAF sorties are used by tps deployed in kargil upto Siachen base camp considering the terrain in winters.
6. Jammu-Srinagar-Jammu road is the safest mode as we know every inch of the terrain.

While the #IndianArmy has #Arjun in production, why isnt there a large scale commitment to replace ageing #T72M in service. These tanks are terrible for their crews and not well protected. Image
While the plan is to add #T90 turrets on #Indianarmy #T72 and there are prototypes going around test areas. But #T90 is now a known quantity, the #US has a few to test on and develop anti-tank munition tech. #India needs to get away from the turret popping design to gain a....... ImageImage
Qualitative edge as all #Chinese tanks and all #Pakistani tanks which are not Type 59 derivatives rely on the same carousel auto-loader design. The #Chinese ZTZ-99 and #Pakistani Al Khalids are essentially #T72 derivatives, how do I know? I looked at the road wheel identations. ImageImage

🔴Thread: Future of India-China Standoff

Chief of Army Staff General #ManojPande said that the border with China requires constant, close monitoring as it could lead to a broader conflict. On March 27, the Army Chief gave a speech at the second Strategic Dialogue on...
...‘Rise of China and its Implications for the World’, organised by Savitribai Phule Pune University and the #NewDelhi based Centre for China Analysis and Strategy. He further said that “I think the most important aspect of our operational environment remains... #indiavschina
...our legacy challenges of the unsettled and disputed borders. Pockets of dispute and contested claims to the territory continue to exist due to differing perceptions of the alignment of the #LAC . Transgressions remain the potential trigger for escalations.”

आज ही के दिन 2003 में #कश्मीर के #बांदीपोरा में रात के करीबन 10 बजे एक गुप्त सूचना के आधार पर एक ऑपरेशन लांच किया गया - जब हमारे जवान उस गांव में उस जगह पर पहुंचे तो आतंकवादियों ने अंधाधुंध फायरिंग शुरू कर दी ताकि वे अंधेरे का लाभ लेकर वहां से भाग जाए परंतु भारतीय सेना के सिपाही Image
बलराम ध्रुव सर ने कड़ी टक्कर देते हुए उन पर फायरिंग खोल कर रखा और एक आतंकवादी को उसी समय ढेर कर दिया! 🔥💪🏻🇮🇳🪖

दूसरे दो आतंकवादी वापस उसी घर में छुप गए और फायरिंग करते रहे, यहां पर सिपाही बलराम सर गंभीर रूप से घायल हो चुके थे उसके बावजूद वे अपनी अंतिम सांस तक फायरिंग करते रहे
अंत में बाकी के दोनों आतंकवादियों को भी ढेर कर दिया गया परंतु इस ऑपरेशन में भारत माता ने अपना बहादुर बेटा खो दिया! 😭💔😭

सिपाही बलराम ध्रुव सर को 26 जनवरी 2004 को उनकी वीरता के लिए मरणोपरांत सेना मेडल से सम्मानित किया गया था! 🎖️🔥

भारत माता के वीर बेटे को

चलिए आज शहीद मेजर नटवर सिंह शेखावत सर के बलिदान दिवस पर उन्हे याद करते है। 27-03-2003 । 💐🇮🇳💐

26 मार्च 2003 को अपने गांव जाने के लिए ट्रेन का रिजर्वेशन था, की अचानक एक इनपुट मिला की डोडा में एक जगह पर आतंकवादी छिपे हुए है, उन्होंने अपनी छुट्टी को कैंसल किया और तुरंत निकल गए उन
आतंकवादियों का सफाया करने के लिए। 💪🏻🇮🇳🔥

करीबन 6 से 8 आतंकवादी उस ऑपरेशन में मारे गए साथ में 200 किलो आरडीएक्स भी मिला, सोचिए उससे आतंकवादी कितनी तबाही कर सकते थे। 🔥

ऑपरेशन तो सफल रहा परंतु, देश ने अपना बहुत ही बहादुर बेटा खो दिया। 😭💔😭

उन्हे अपने घर जाना था, ट्रेन राह देख
रही थी पर फर्ज के खातिर उन्होंने तिरंगे में लिपटकर घर जाना बेहतर समझा। 💐🇮🇳🔥💐

तिरंगा ऐसे ही शान से नहीं लहरा रहा है! ❤️🇮🇳

#राजस्थान - #चित्तौड़गढ़ के बहादुर सपूत मेजर नटवर सिंह जी को उनके बलिदान दिवस पर शत शत नमन! 🙏🏻🇮🇳🙏🏻

जय हिंद। 🌲🇮🇳🌳

On this day in 2007, the bomb blasts in #SamjhautaExpress killed 68 people including 44 #Pakistanis . The immediate investigations revealed irrefutable evidence about the masterminds. In this thread, We would share some #Indian newspaper clips which covered the investigations.
1. Lt Col Prasad Purohit, a serving #IndianArmy officer, was arrested for terror conspiracy in the Malegaon blast case. He was the co founder of #AbhinavBharat, a right wing Hindu organisation. He admitted that he was the mastermind.

(@TheTimesofIndia, Pune, 7 November 2008)
2. Lt Col Purohit met Pragya Thakur on 5 Oct 2008 to tell her that "Our People" had carried out the killings in Orissa, burnt down two churches and also carried out the Malegaon blast.

(@the_indian_expr , Pune, 24 Nov 2008)

Ironically, Pragya is #BJP's MP today.

Pls read complete thread. 🙏
This misleading report which claims India lost access to 26 PATROLLING POINTS along #LAC will hurt Indian PM #Modi a lot more than #BBC PROPAGANDA.

Everyone who read it, believed it‼️
Theres no way to VERIFY THIS.👎

Here’s the reality:
2/6 The report is made believable by including the name of the #IPS officer who claims 26 patrolling points hv restricted or no patrolling. Its so BELIEVABLE that anyone who reads it will believe it. 👎Most MEDIA house published it with same title— NDTV,Hindu, Indian Express 👇
3/5 What is the reality❓
1️⃣ There are many ppl in Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Defence who love generating CONTROVERSIES‼️

“Sarkar Modi ki hai par system hamara hai”.

As a veteran told me— lot of #LeLis exist in MHA & MoD. But issue doesn’t end there.

It is not the first time #RahulGandhi has insulted Indian Army... you will find barrage of incidents when this man has brought huge embarrassment for the country.

Shameless Rahul Gandhi used his mobile phone during the mourning of Pulwama martyrs.

Rahul Gandhi wanted proof of Surgical strike conducted by #IndianArmy on Pakistan.

If our soldiers have said that we have carried a surgical strike then who are you to question them?
