This attack in Manipur, ever since the news broke, has been playing on my mind. I'm sure I won't be the only one who has been taken aback by what transpired earlier today.
2
I think the reason is not that soldiers were killed in this attack, but instead that the wife and child of the Commanding Officer too were killed.
Now this is not to say that the loss of the five soldiers is any less than that of the lady and the kid. Far from it, in fact.
3
Each and every soldier lost is one too many. However, it is also a fact that they willingly put their lives on the line as part of their service to the Motherland.
Yet, fact remains that none of their family members have been targetted in the insurgency in the North-East before
4
This has been one stark difference between the terror machinery of Kashmir and the NE insurgency. But I guess, that is no longer the case.
Nope.
NOT after today
5
Might it have been a tragic mistake out of ignorance of the presence of the lady and the child on part of the insurgents?
Plausible?
Implausible?
We may keep debating it till cows come home.
But fact remains that they too are dead, either mistakenly or deliberately.
6
On that note, I'll just leave this tweet here before moving ahead.
7
That it happened right in the middle of heightened tensions with the Chinese might just be a coincidence. But then, the possibility of this happening not very long after the unofficial mouthpiece of Chinese ruling dispensation tweeting this, makes one wonder about that too.
8
The ball now lies in the court of the GOI all over again.
What happens next remains to be seen. I'll not offer any comments on that as of right now.
Instead, I will wait and see how things pan out in the coming times.
9/9
May the departed souls find peace and mukti, and may the ones they left behind in this mortal realm find the strength to carry on without them ..
Om Shanti ..

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

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

Today is 48th anniversary of what must be one of the most audacious attacks that saw Egyptians cross the Suez and return to Sinai!
And this, barely six years after a humiliating rout!
What a campaign!

Sharing some thoughts on current West Asian situation on the 48th anniversary of the #YomKippurWar.
Israel fought ALL its neighbours (less Lebanon, but that is too insignificant a player). Here goes:

(a) Egypt was at the forefront, leading the entire Arab world. Israel made ..

.. its peace with Egypt by withdrawing from the Sinai Peninsula following the Camp David Accord. Anwar al Sadat had to pay for it with his life. Egypt lately has been on the brink, barely holding out against centrifugal forces.
(b) Libya: Gaddafi sent armour & ..
