So this tweet landed up on my TL some days ago. The contrast is striking indeed.
Prompted me to go exploring Google Earth to see if there are more such 'contrasts' in other parts of the country as well.

It didn't take me long to realize that all one needed to identify a military area in a city was to just find the greenest part and zoom in!
Don't believe me?
Well, here is Lucknow Cantonment for you - an island of green inside a concrete ocean!

3
Moving on to Pune, things weren't much different out there either!
Once again, not much of a difference!

4
Meerut Cantt was perhaps the most organised piece of real estate when compared to its surroundings, not to mention, GREEN!!

5
Next, I decided to visit (virtually of course!) the lands of Rajasthan.
Heck, even the Jodhpur Cantt is green - perhaps the ONLY major piece of greenery in the city!

6
My final stop was Ahmedabad.
Yup .. same old story out there as well!

7/7
So there it was - the photo of Delhi Cantonment wasn't a fluke. Instead, it is the NORM when it comes to military areas.
Bottomline - Trust the forces to be the true ambassadors of 'Green India'!

So the BBC showed this map of India on 19 Jul 2020 as part of a report on flooding in Assam.

Of course they were called out for being .. well .. BBC!
So they changed the map. Yet the clever ones could not bring themselves to hiding their blinkered glasses.
They shaded the correct limits of Indian territory, yet they couldn't bring themselves to acknowledge it all!

On a similar note, here is another map of India in "The Mirror" of UK some years ago.
Very subtle indeed!
They corrected it later, though.

Ok folks, carrying on from this thread on J&K history quoted below, let me now share some thoughts about the legal status of Jammu and Kashmir as it stands today.

https://twitter.com/CestMoiz/status/1309849730118189057

In spite of successive Indian Governments’ insistence that the whole of Jammu and Kashmir has been integral part of India since the signing of Instrument of Accession, doubts have been raised by many on its legality.

This is due to deliberately created false narratives by Pakistan and other inimical elements, which has cluttered the issue. This thread will attempt to de-clutter the same and bring out the fact that the whole region indeed belongs to India without a shadow of doubt.

Ok folks, so since Gilgit-Baltistan has been in news quite a bit in the past few days and weeks, let me share some perspective on PoJK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
In this thread, I intend talking about a historical perspective to the issue and the legal status of PoJK / GB.
Here goes..

But first, I will share this video of the Prime Minister of India speaking from the Red Fort not very long ago.

Then last year, after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, came these statements from the Home Minister, clearly specifying the territorial limits of Jammu and Kashmir.

#HappyTroops
More Bhangra!!
Judging by the length of the shadow, it seems to be an early morning workout, or perhaps one in the late evening!

#HappyTroops
And then there are the Gorkha brothers .. equally cheerful .. equally happy .. equally ferocious!
This particular guy makes the razor sharp 9-inch blade khukri look like a kid's toy in his hands .. sheer magic!
Can watch this video a thousand times over!
