So I came across this tweet a couple of days ago.
I cannot describe how happy I felt upon seeing this.
Reason?
I had tweeted something on similar lines more than four years ago, on 22 March 2017.

However, since I managed to break that short, 13 tweet thread while tweeting it, I shall share here the same thread that I replugged in Jan 2018 before moving ahead.

Do go thru the thread quoted in the tweet above. It is hardly 13 tweets long, but brings out my take on the issue.
It is indeed unforgivable to have had so many of our finest spill their blood in these lands of Rishi Kashyap, and not have any memorial outside of cantonments.

It would indeed be heartwarming in case this effort commences with this school named after Sapper Shinde Ramachandra of 44 Rashtriya Rifles who sacrificed himself for the children studying there.
5/5 But regardless, it is satisfying to note that the govt has finally decided to act in the way it has, on an issue that has been so dear to me.
Godspeed, I'd say!
Jai Hind!
In the end, I'll just leave this tweet here as well :)
On the second anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, replugging a twitter thread that I tweeted a few hours before the announcement of the abrogation in the Parliament of India.
Here goes ..

Firstly, let us be very clear, we didn't reach the current situation in the past week, or month, or the past year.
Far from it.
The genesis of the Indo-Pak Kashmir imbroglio lies in the breach of the standstill agreement by the Dominion of Pakistan way back in 1947.

Kashmir was doomed from the moment Paaki army sent in its non-uniformed foot soldiers into the state and after a few initial, dispersed skirmishes, captured & raped Muzaffarabad on 22 Oct 1947, followed by the capture & rape of Baramula a few days later.

This day in 1999, the ceasefire in #Kargil was in its sixth day, to give the Paakis an opportunity to vacate the heights they were still in possession of. But, true to their 'style', the fcukers, instead of vacating, went about happily mining the approaches to those positions.

They had absolutely no intention of withdrawing despite those being the clear terms of the ceasefire that commenced with effect from 11th July 1999..
Finally, about two weeks later, the Indian Army would once again be able to 'convince' them to agree to its terms in ..

The Brown Panted Ba$tards were thrown out / ran away on the point of the gun.

.. from the enemy and turning it on them.
Though severely wounded, he refused to be evacuated so that he does not reduce the numbers available for the fight, by diverting them to take him to safety.
Instead he kept on fighting till the time he could.

Soon thereafter he succumbed to his injuries, right there on his final battlefield.
This 24 year son of an SBI employee, had done what under normal circumstances, might have been considered impossible.
But circumstances that summer were far from 'normal'.

It was yet another small step in Indian Army's steady march towards the Line of Control, paved by the blood of yet more young men whom delusional Brown Panted Pakistani Generals had failed to take into account as they fantasized about glory in Kargil & Siachen

So today is the 36th anniversary of the bombing of Air India 'Kanishka' by Canada based terrorists.
Replugging some thoughts on the same.
Canada, this one will haunt you till time's end.

Letting out some thoughts and some facts when it came to Western nations not merely looking away at terrorism aimed at India in the 70s, 80s and the 90s, but in cases, actually encouraging it.
This state sponsored terror cost us dearly then, and costs us dearly even now.

70s - 90s were not very popular years for Govt of India in Western capitals. At best, they looked away when it came to matters that were detrimental to Indian interests and at worst, they actively fomented trouble within Indian borders.
Primary reason was that the ..
