01 Sep 1965: Ayub Khan unleashed a vengeful attack on Chhamb to show the 'Hindus' their place.
Was fighting to save Lahore five days later!

Events starting this day in 1965 would give birth to phrases like "Sabre Killer", "Graveyard of Pattons" and of course, "Defence of Pakistan Day"!

"Hindu morale would not stand for more than a couple of hard blows delivered at the right time and the right place."
- Ayub Khan, 1965

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the Afghanistan situation as it unfolds.
Been trying to gather my thoughts for the past few days, but events have been happening just too fast for that. So, I'll just do this thread on the go.
Here goes ..

Firstly, the issue is not whether or not Kabul will fall.
The real issue, IMO, is what happens AFTER Kabul falls, since it is more or less a given.
This is what I hope to delve upon in this thread.

Firstly, let me plug a thread from Feb 2020 when there was talk about Indian troops going to Afg.
With the rapid rout of US military in Afg, I think that folks who were thinking about sending Indian troops there would have by now changed their opinions.

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.

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.

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.
