Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent brouhaha over the dragging of a dead Paki terrorist's body by own army men.
Funny, how all that 'outrage' died in less than 48 hours, no? Says a lot about the 'outrage' walas. But will leave that topic for some other day.

First things first - War is a deadly business (no pun intended).
And the Indian Army has been fighting this war for three decades now. It has faced countless charges of HR violations by the usual suspects, not more than a handful of which have successfully withstood scrutiny.

.. Paki soldiers with full dignity, even saluting them on their final journey back to their side of the LoC which they should never have crossed in the first place. Here's a video for those who weren't aware of this

Those that the Pakistan Army simply refused to accept, were buried with full military honours by the same Indian Army, wrapped in the Pakistani national flag.
Yup.
Here's video evidence of that.
Saurabh Kalia's memories were still fresh, mind you.

That was the Kargil episode of this three decade long war that Pakistan has been waging on us.
Yes, it was a mere 'high intensity' part of this 'low intensity' conflict that has been draining our Motherland since 1989.

That brings us back to the topic at hand - the photo of the dead Paki being dragged by a rope.
It is safe to assume that with a three decade long experience, the Indian Army would have created some drills and SOPs to keep its own casualties low.

Drills and SOPs that have been honed over the years at the cost of the lives of a LOT of fine men.
As folks like @gauravcsawant have been literally shouting over the past few days, dragging a dead terrorist's body is part of that SOP.

Hiding a grenade under your body as you breathe your last is a tactic which is well practiced by the loonies that have been streaming across the LoC.
The latest loss to this tactic was Lt Col Niranjan Kumar, Shaurya Chakra, who died in the aftermath of the Pathankot Attack.

Here's his photograph, for those who've moved on to other outrages since Pathankot.
I'd rather see a thousand dead Paki terrorists dragged for a few metres than have men like him take the fall, just because some libbies amongst us feel bad.

Oh, btw, here is the photo of two of the terrorists involved in last year's Amarnath Yatra attack, posted by ADGPI after they were despatched in September last year.
I guess no one noticed the nice little nylon rope tied to one of the fcukers' legs.
Right?

I guess there was no randi rona on that pic because there was no photo of the other end of the rope in a soldier's hand pulling the Paki.
But trust me, the rope on his ankle is proof that this one too was pulled.
Just like practically every other of his countrymen who come ..

.. sneaking this side of the LoC to 'liberate' Kashmir has been pulled .. nay .. dragged.
The difference this time was that own boys were clicked doing the 'honours' to this Paki, just like they've been doing it for all others before him.

.. released when the weight keeping it in position shifts. Hence doing it from a safe distance using a rope is now part of the SOP.
Here's the wikipedia link for those who were too lazy to just search 'Hand Grenade' on Google.

Now for the picture in question - the rona dhona is not because the Pakis and their sympathizers this side of the border sincerely care for the dead terrorists' human rights (Even the NLI soldiers buried this side of the LoC in 1999 will vouch for this).
No Sir!

This Randi Rona is more about the battle of perception, being fought on the social media.
The photograph of the dead terrorist being dragged is just the latest tool that has been put to good use by the Pakis.

This is where own side messed up- allowed it to be clicked.
And then there were two types of argumentative Indians that jumped in - the well meaning and the ignorant.
But in their own zeal, they've ended up feeding the Paki propaganda machinery, most of them unknowingly, and..

.. atleast some of them, intentionally.
Yes, the army is said to be carrying out an inquiry into the matter. But I feel that the inquiry, if at all, will attribute guilt NOT for the dragging of the body, but for not keeping media at a distance when this was being done.

Bottomline: DON'T FEED THE PAKI PROPAGANDA, whether unknowingly or knowingly.
Social Media is the new battlefield. DON'T make the enemy's job any easier.
Photo: Lt Col Niranjan's father and daughter after his body arrived.
DRAG THEM ALL, I say
