Ye Naga Regiment toh China ke saath joint exercise karne gaye the .. ye bhi 'communal' ho gaye! #ShastraPooja
Otteri!
United Nations mein bhi 'communal'!!
Aur ye Jannat-e-Kashmir mein bhi 'communal'!
:o
Jannat-e-Kashmir mein phir ek baar .. right before a pig hunt!!
RezanLa Memorial somewhere in Haryana .. That Sudarshan Chakra!
Gurbani of the Guru whose Khalsas brought the Jannat-e-Kashmir back into the folds of the Motherland!
Nishchay Kar Apni Jeet Karoon!
From the 1965 war!
Woahh!

A Priest, a Maulvi, a Granthi and a Monk administer the oath towards protecting the Motherland to newly minted recruits!
By God ki Kasam!
Retirement ke baad bhi!

(Btw, the amount of hatred showered upon Lt Gen @TheSatishDua after this tweet was unbelievable. Go see for yourself. Here's the link:
Kargil ki ladai mein hamle se pehle bhi!

Ye bhi Kargil se!
(Photo: Men of 2nd Rajputana Rifles pray to the Almighty before an assault on Tololing. That night, Tololing would have reverberated with their war cry of Raj Ramchandra Ki Jai!)
Kargil se ek aur!
Ladakh Scouts ke Sipahi, apne Dharmguru ke saath
Ye dekho 'communal' faujiyon ko - Saare ke Saare Hindu Muslim Sikh Isai apne tank ke aage agarbatti jalate hue!
Okay, it is time to end this 'communal' thread with this photo of a Mandir Masjid Gurudwara Girijaghar of the Indian Army.
I guess nowhere in the world would one find all these under a single roof!
Jai Hind!
Forgot this one!
Here are Gorkhas of the Indian Army singing a warrior's hymn penned by Guru Gobind Singh!
With THIS, I finally end this thread!
Looks like this 'communal' thread will go on for a while!
One more from the Kargil war!
The eternal, 'communal' Agni that guards our immortal spirits!
A silent prayer to one or more of the 33 crore Gods before the convoy moves off after the reopening of the Zojila Pass in Kashmir!

This day in 1999, a young Captain by the name of Manoj Kumar Pandey was going gung ho, clearing Paakis in Khalubar.
Little would he have have known that he had just about 43 days more in this world, before he attained martyrdom, and with it, immortal fame ..
He led the most difficult tasks assigned to 1/11 Gorkha Rifles in the war, with full confidence in his fellow Gorkhas to deliver.
Here is a letter he wrote from the battlefield to a friend.
Download, Zoom & Read.
I INSIST.

So yesterday was the second anniversary of the day an Indian Brahmos landed up in Mian Channu in Bhikharistan. In light of the same, replugging a short thread I did in the immediate aftermath of that.
Here goes!
Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent trip of a not so distant cousin of Shri Brahmos Ji to the Land of the Pure.
Let's see how this one goes ..
But first let me just write the phrase "Brown Pants", so that now Shri Viveek Agrawal Ji can also read this thread.
Ok, here goes ..
Here's wishing Happy #WalongDay to the heroes of 6 KUMAON.
They went to their deaths heroically & steadfastly, without any fuss, this day in 1962. Just so that a General could please a PM on his birthday.
This day in 1962 - The only attack of the war by Indian army was launched - As a birthday gift from a General to a PM.
A heavy price was paid by the Kumaonis of 6 Kumaon that night.
#WalongDay
Denied even one extra day to prepare for the attack, they went in as ordered. Out of the over 200 men that had gone into the attack, only 90 returned.

A thousand years old Varun Dev Mandir in Manora Island beach Karachi - Being used by Pakistan as a toilet for tourists.
Looks like the tweet above has generated quite some discussion. Apparently, the temple is no longer being utilized as a public toilet for some time now.
That said, replugging a thread tweeted some years back with the hashtag #PakistanAgainstMinorities, chronicling systemic hatred
#PakistanAgainstMinorities
A really interesting interpretation of their flag!
