After a very long time, seeing another interesting hashtag trending in Indian twitterscape - #GBisNotPakistan!
Let me add on to this trend by saying that GB was NEVER Pakistan
#GBisNotPakistan
GB landed with Packies through outright treachery and mutiny instigated by a dying British Empire. Period
#GBisNotPakistan
They've never considered the people of GB as their own. Just ask the self styled 'saviour' of Pakistan, Shri Musharraf who as a Brigadier organised and carried out one of the largest state sponsored pogroms of the predominantly Shia population of GB.

Here's wishing Happy #WalongDay to 6 KUMAON
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 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 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.

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!

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

#2dayIn1948
Meanwhile the situation in ZojiLa was getting desperate. Two well planned attacks had failed. The troops involved in them had suffered heavy casualties.
What was worse was that the enemy's positions remained completely intact at the end of these two ..

.. ops, and were sure to be further strengthened in the light of the experience gained. Winter was fast approaching and it was already doubtful if Kargil could be captured & stocked with supplies before heavy snowfall and icy blizzards gripped the area.
#2dayIn1948
Urgent high level discussions took place at Srinagar and Delhi to decide the next step. The difficulties and dangers of the ZojiLa operation were obvious. But the alternative of leaving the whole of Ladakh to its fate was unacceptable, both ..

#NDTV
What did NOT surprise me was the absence of their favourite word - 'Alleged' in this news report.
Of course, it turned out to be fake!
Damn you Social Media .. Hamara channel toh waise bhi koi nahi dekhta, aur ab tum log yahan bhi jhooth nahi bolne dete 😭 ImageImage
^^
Of course, we at #NDTV know how to do 'thook kar chaatna'. Zaroori hai hamare liye, you know!
So THIS is the latest example of our mastery over this art - The incident MAGICALLY turned from 'Attacked' to 'Reportedly Attacked' to ultimately 'Received Threat Calls'!

 Let me replug this tweet about #NDTV from early into this thread.
I'll tell you why I do this, in the tweet that follows.

#ObituaryOfTheDay
Naik Subash Thapa, 3/5 Gorkha Rifles.
This 25 year old Bir Gorkhali soldier, hailing from Bagdogra, was martyred on the LoC this day last year in Naushera.
Today is his first martyrdom anniversary.
Remember him, anyone? ImageImageImage
^^
#ObituaryOfTheDay
The local community came together and ensured that their young martyr is immortalized, forever inspiring the next generation, many of whom too will join the Indian Army like Subash and countless others before him.
#ObituaryOfTheDay
Balwan Jat, earned a Kirti Chakra for himself at only 24 yrs of age, making the supreme sacrifice in the process. Image

So the BBC showed this map of India on 19 Jul 2020 as part of a report on flooding in Assam.
#JustSaying ImageImage
2/2
 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! Image
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. Image
