Today marks 73 years since this 'Blood Soaked Giant' rose to hold on to HIS land in Richhmar Gali.
Here's the excerpt of that day's battle from the official history of the 1947-48 War published by the MoD.
Yes, these are the exact words used in the official history! Image

The word CRAZY doesn't come anywhere close to describing the bloody melee on the day that he earned his place in history Image
His story, as recounted in the epic DD Serial 'Param Vir Chakra'
The story of that crazy day in Richhmar Gali when the Pakis ran into a wall of stubborn Khalsas, tweeted by me last year.
MUST have a look.
I insist!

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent developments in #Bangladesh in the aftermath of killing of Osman Hadi.
Let's see how it goes.
At the outset, I'll share this tweet from almost exactly 1yr ago. Things happening almost exactly as mentioned
Moving ahead, let me introduce Osman Hadi to those who do not know him.
Here he is, yapping about Indian hegemony.
Do watch.
Mind you, this is not about celebrating his death.
But instead, this is to highlight the idiotic and utopian idea of Bangladesh being equal to India that he harboured .. something that is still being chanted by yahoos on the streets.

Finally watched the movie late last night.
Sharing some thoughts on it.
At the outset, a hearty 'Well Done' to @AdityaDharFilms, @AdityaRajKaul, @RanveerOfficial, @ActorMadhavan, @yamigautam and all others associated with the film.
It is indeed a MUST WATCH.
Before anything else, I'll share this recording from 26/11 Terror Attack which was uploaded to Youtube by @shiv_cybersurg.
If u think the Red Screen in #Dhurandhar was shocking, you are sadly mistaken.

At 4:00, Woman: "Pl don't kill me"
Then AK47 shots👇
And if you think the scenes of ecstasy in the 'Control Room' in Karachi as shown in the movie were exaggerated, then there is a white coloured building in Agra that I am willing to sell to you at a massive discount.

Here's wishing Happy #WalongDay to the heroes of 6 KUMAON. They went to their deaths heroically and 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 of the war 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 extra day to prepare for the attack that they requested, they went in as ordered.
Out of the more than 200 men that had gone into the attack, only 90 returned alive.

Glad I didn't write on this topic last Sunday as originally planned, because a LOT has happened since.
Sharing my thoughts on what might happen in the coming months.
Let's see how it goes ..
First and foremost, I assume you would have gone thru what the Army Chief said. If not, then do watch the one-minute long video of the Chief addressing his troops before moving ahead.
Do note the key words that he mentions.
Now the reason this short clip of the Army Chief piqued my interest was the fact that he wasn't the first one or the only one from the highest echelons speaking thus.
In fact, the first such instance was Prime Minister himself when he promised the Navy their dues in next round! Image

Today is the 40th 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.Image
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 from West 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 ..

Folks, sharing some thoughts on recent and current events in near and far neighbourhood.
A lot of thoughts entangled in a web .. let me see how it goes
This report from some days ago is a good start point:

US Centcom Chief very enthusiastically licking Pakistan's unwashed backside!

Whenever such a news comes by, the first thought that goes through one's head is, what are they planning!
In this case, it was quite obvious that Iran was the target, as events proved within days.
But I will come to that in a while.
