This article in Hindu states the clarification by @adgpi about the propaganda video launched by #PAFF that tries to create a story and to prove it, shows an image of a bag and its contents that they captured. I have PERSONALLY checked from military

thehindu.com/news/national/…
sources that the soldier mentioned in this video was never the part of ongoing operations, and is alive and serving in his unit. To further elaborate on the dumbness of propaganda, they morphed ID card of a soldier who wasn’t even mentioned in the causality list by @adgpi Futher
Dissection of contents can very well clarify how it’s an immature attempt at propaganda.
1. No soldier ever carries ID card in Ops. It’s an order and practice.
2. All items like clothing, leather bag, scissors etc look brand new. Obviously purchased recently to make this
Video.
3. Why would a solider carry extra pair of uniform on Ops ?
4. Why would he carry phone chargers going into forest ? Common sense !
5. Why would he carry a whistle ? ( top right ). This is Ambush and patrol. Troops maintain silence and secrecy. It’s not a PT drill in
stadium.
6. Why is there not even a SINGLE military item in bag? I mean why would he carry a bag for all these unnecessary things ? Logic ! And every soldier on Ops carries certain items that are critical for operation in his bag. Where are those? They won’t be coz this
is a propaganda video.
The ISI must have images of some old I card and they morphed some picture of solider on it and trying to pass it as genuine. This isn’t Chinese or Pakistani Army. If we have casualties, we acknowledge and pay them their due respects. The IW warfare from
ISI’s side is at full swing. Exercise caution and restraint before promoting or forwarding propaganda material. In case of doubt, wait for official statements from Army.
Jai Hind 🙏

The South Asian Geopolitics is about to go, rather undergoing drastic and unprecedented change.
1. It’s time for India to step up and enter into a bigger role than just focusing on itself. If it’s a battle of influence, you cannot hope to gain more by not participating in
regional activities. Sri Lanka post great, Bangladesh resolution of borders and increase in trade and commerce great. But Pakistan continues to be a nuisance that India is unable to find an answer to. Either by diplomacy or by force, the dispute has to be ended for India to gain
objective and clear prominence in region. Otherwise it’ll continue to be seen as a big country unable to resolve issues. Nepal and Bhutan continue to long standing friends, with minor issues coming up time to time. Where India also needs to focus is Myanmar. Given history of NE

I personally have lot of respect of Mr @ARanganathan72, especially for his panache with stats and facts to counter rhetorics. But I guess in this debate, he needs to understand that Army itself as an Organization is a fact, result and performance based Organization. The end game
will always be to be a ruthless war machine and win every battle. Whatever makes that happen, let’s do it ! In same breath, Caste based Regiments have proven their success since the time British created them. Even they followed the same principle. We don’t look deeply enough but
even they have Scot regiments etc. And they took Gurkhas exactly in same manner as it existed, in British Army, till present day to maintain the same principles, as mentioned ahead :
1. Infantry units at the face of it are one caste. But even within them, units and sub units

Spy Stories by Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott is exactly opposite of what investigative journalism is all about. On Pakistani side, a fictional Shahrukh Khan type over the top ISI spy becomes a protagonist who’s suddenly fighting everyone from ISI to Al Qaeda. On India side, they
gone to extreme lengths to disparage, implicate and pull down Indian government, Modi and NSA. Page after page they’ve tried to push the ‘Saffron terror’ up and given a clean chit to ISI on almost everything. For a book focused on Inter services rivalry, dedicating lot of pages
just to narrate the ‘Oh so nice’ Burhan Wani’s story and accolading him with names like Prophet and Young Fidel Castro and what not. There is absolutely no insight on any RAW operation except what’s already available on Internet. But to sell the Pak’s innocence agenda and again

Sharing a nice story on this auspicious day of #KargilDiwas.
During the war, millions of children from across the country wrote letters to faujis who were fighting on the front, sending their love and encouragement. The letters are distributed amongst all units and then further
to all companies, so everyone gets the to read them. I also got a few and replied to them. But my buddy, from 8 Sikh got one from Mhow, a place where we were about to for our Young Officers Mandatory course.
So when we reached there, in early 2000, he showed me the letter and
said we should visit this kid. I said sure. The letter was the cutest representation by a really you girl, 5-6 years old, of what she thought Army guys are doing and her best wishes for them.
So we bought a few chocolates and cookies etc and reached her house. We send the bell

This is no joke ! The systematic subjugation of Indian minds has been achieved through programming children from young age about invaders’ superiority. The text books in syllabus and other historic material considered as authoritative narration, written by agenda driven
academicians is brutally dishonest and prejudiced against Indians. Let me explain by example. Think of the most famous battles you can of our history, that you can recall immediately from your school time.
1. Panipat’s 3 battles
2. Palassey
3. Buxar
4. Haldighati
5. Saragarhi
6. 1857
And a couple of more. If you are not a history aficionado, these names are the ones that you more or less carry in your memory from basic history taught in school.

So what’s common in all of them ?
Indian forces lost all to outsiders/ invaders. Mainly Turks/Mughals and

Drone attacks : Jammu AF station

Specific to Indo-Pak situation, there has been lot of talk on Drone based deliveries or arms and ammo. I personally don’t think that’s a useful or even probable tactic. However, dropping low level IEDs to *Distract* the troops, to
ensure the main attack is carried out seamlessly and undetected is what these drones can achieve. This attacks proves following :
1. Diversion - so ground troops get distracted and occupied, so main attack has less hurdles.
2. Possibility of damaging Air assets - possible, coz
aircrafts or helicopters can be rendered unusable and under repairs even with minimal damage. Same impact on ground vehicles or AFVs etc wouldn’t have that impact.

3. Strategic hits - The drones can be aimed to hit fuel dumps, Operations rooms, high value targets, radars,
