One of the least talked about incidents of post partition violence is the massacre of Hindus and Sikhs in Mirpur- Abdullah and Nehru, despite hanging time, failed to save almost 40,000 Hindus and Sikhs who came to Mirpur for refuge #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay
You may have heard how Khilji and others used to give gold in lieu of weight of janeyus of Brahmins massacred by his forces - here Shastri ji is narrating the same - yes this didn’t happen 500 yrs ago but only 74 yrs ago and we forgot abt it #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay
Entire train barring one small girl was cleansed of its travellers #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay

So, here is the thing: today marks the day of America’s return to his golden days when it used “Islamic terrorism” as its tool of their foreign policy- a project that was cut short by 911 attack to a very large extent and of-course in part due to Saddam’s ambitions!
With US back in the safe environs of its God gifted advantage of geographical separation from the theatre of war on terror; it can now resume its age old policy of using Izzlamic terror factory to pursue its foreign policy goals again
And this time, Afghanistan will suck China inside and will become the reason for USSR type disintegration of China!

Often I have read Nehru or about him but never bothered to listen to him or his views other than his tryst for destiny speech, thrusted down our throats for last 74 years!

Today I mustered courage and spent many hours listening to his speeches from 1947 onwards! Thread follows
Thanks to @prasarbharati we have readily available archive of all the I-day speeches from 1947 onwards. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Request @shashidigital to start a process to transcribe these speeches as well. Will go a long way in breaking the halo of Nehru- Gandhi’s!
First things first : if you make a stranger with knowledge of Hindi or Urdu hear these speeches, his first reaction will be that all the speeches were more like in Urdu. Yes close your eyes and listen to his speeches. All his speeches were more like in Urdu. No wonder!

Before I complete this thread, let me share my views on few burning issues that are controlling the mindspace on social media and chatter in WA rooms- about the potential implications of Afghan situation for India. Thread follows!
Let this be known loud and clear: India of 2021 is NOT India of Sep 1996. Unlike then, India is not governed by a rag tag coalition best described by Sushma Ji or Pramod Ji in their LS speech- koee mila nahi to unhone bola kisi bhi gadhi ghode ko bana do and DeveGowda jee……
So what does this mean when I say India of 2021 is not India of 1996. Here are some of the points.
1) Militancy in Kashmir is under control & forces have an upper hand
2) India of post 96 had to suffer the consequences of Gujarat doctrine leading to annihilation of Intel assets

Can anyone with knowledge of Afghanistan conflict tell me about this shura at Medinat al Hikamah, that was organised by Hamid Gul after Geneva Accords?
Copy of the Geneva Accords of 1988- doubt that Doha will read any different than this!
Second part of Geneva Accords of 1988

Tried finding references to Shura that was organised by ISI at Medinat al Hikamah after Geneva Accords of 1988. Sadly couldn’t find any reference anywhere but I remembering hearing this name somewhere. Note Omar died in Karachi only.
Curiously founder of Hamdard University located at Medninat al Hikamah was Hakeem Muhammad Saeed. To world he may have been a philanthropist but in reality he was ISIs asset - reason why he was murdered on 17 October 1998 at Karachi, prompting Nawaz Sharif to dismiss Sindh Govt!
You know this university was founded in 1983 and was inaugurated by Zia in 1985. All that philanthropy BS was a ploy to cover the money that was channelised into this place and reason why the alleged philanthropist was murdered
