On the second anniversary of the Balakot Strike, dubbed #PulwamaRevenge, replugging a thread I wrote early that morning, ending up getting late for office!
MUST HAVE A LOOK.

Today marks the second anniversary of the attempted 'retort' to the Balakot Strike by the PAF, only to end up losing an F-16 to a MiG-21 of all the planes in the IAF inventory!
And to cap it, they ended up with a hot potato in the form of Wg Cdr Abhinandan in their hands!
Replugging a thread I wrote on that day, even as the events were still unfolding.
Here's the above thread in my blog, for ease of reading.
At that same time, do take a moment to remember the fallen PAF Air Warriors who gave up their lives for their own country, unacknowledged, unwept and forgotten, much like their NLI brethren in Kargil

This was the day two years ago when Pakistan was forced to blink and announce the repatriation of Wing Commander Abhinandan 'in the interest of peace', as their shit scared Beggar-in-Chief put it.
Here's a thread written that evening.
MUST have a look!
The second tweet of this thread said it all.
What was later described by the Indian Prime Minister as a promise of 'Qatl ki Raat' had worked its 'magic' in making Terroristan see reason!

I was putting off tweeting about these men, since I knew the mood would only go downhill hereafter.
But then, it is definitely a day to remember the #14FebPulwamaBravehearts.
Let me share my jumbled, angry thoughts about that dastardly attack ..
I still remember that evening as the news of the attack came in and the casualty count just kept on going higher and higher. I was having dinner at my boss' place that evening. It was supposed to be a light evening, but it was anything but that.
#14FebPulwamaBravehearts
I doubt anyone of us was actually 'attending' that party that evening. Despite being physical present there, we were lost in our own worlds of emotions as the gravity of the event sunk in.
There wasn't much conversation that night, despite quite a few 'talkative' guys amongst us.

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the farmers' protest, twitter, Koo etc. Let's see how it goes!
Let me begin by talking about the wave of euphoria that the global 'liberal' ecosystem has been riding ever since the defeat of Donald Trump in the just concluded US Presidential elections.
I'm not going to comment upon the controversies surrounding the conduct of the election because frankly, it doesn't matter anymore .. atleast not for the time being.
However, fact remains that social as well as mainstream media played a BIG role during that election.

Ok folks, so I came across this report a few weeks ago.
This report talks about reorienting bulk of 1 Corps of the Indian Army towards the China border in Ladakh.
Sharing some thoughts on the issue.
Here goes ..
theprint.in/defence/army-p…
In essence, what this means is that atleast two divisions of the Indian Army will reorient, and possibly physically locate, to Ladakh, along with the Headquarters of the 1 Corps.
Frankly, this is a much needed exercise in order to plug own vulnerabilities in that region.
However, this movement / reorientation of two infantry divisions towards the LAC also means that there are going to be two divisions less in case of a contingency demanding their application on the Pakistan border.
This is what I intend to talk about here in this thread.

So there a recent report from Pakistan - one about Shri Shoaib Akhtar talking about his wet dreams of Ghazwa 'e Hind and capturing Kashmir, and then the rest of India. Here is the video, for those who have missed this story
In light of that, replugging a thread I did three years ago, analyzing the treatment meted out to Cdr Kulbhushan Jadhav's mother & wife when they had gone to meet him in Pakistan.
Its been three years plus since the incident.
Cdr Jadhav continues to be in Pakistani custody.
Here it goes ..
Sharing some thoughts on the treatment meted out to Cdr Kulbhushan Jadhav's wife and mother by Pakis, in what could easily have been a show of goodwill instead.
Still unstructured, let me see how this thread goes ..

In memory of the Four Sahebzaadas of Guru Gobind Singh, all of whom sacrificed their lives for the sake of their Dharam, this week in 1704.
Never fails to leave a lump in the throat
The kids will be watching this movie once again today afternoon. The perfect tribute to the four young martyrs
Can NEVER watch this without getting misty eyed.

You folks hear the story of the first Gorkha to surrender to the Brits in the Anglo Gorkha War of 1815?
Well, here it is!
2
It was the first time organised British troops had faced the Gorkhas in battle & were indeed very intrigued by these spunky little warriors.
However, even as the campaign dragged on, they failed to get a prisoner of war.

Finally, one fine day the Brits saw a Gorkha soldier walk into their lines. He had been wounded during the battle. Ecstatic at the unexpected surrender, their first priority was to treat this man's wounds.
