Interesting Read- 1971 A war won on the battlefield but lost on the table.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto came to Simla as the head of a defeated nation with nothing to bargain. 93,000 Pakistani prisoners were in India and the tehsil of Shakargarh

as well as large tracts of desert were under Indian occupation.

The Pakistani State itself was tottering & the only card Bhutto had was to play on the Indian need to have a viable Pakistan survive.Using his weakness dexterously,

Bhutto made sure that India could never drive a hard bargain.

All that Pakistan conceded at Simla was that it would not use force to solve the Kashmir problem and it would deal with the issue bilaterally. It is indeed astonishing that a militarily weak and defeated nation

An old man meets a young man who asks:
“Do you remember me?”
And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:
“What do you do, what do you do in life?”
The young man answers:
“Well, I became a teacher.”

“ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.
“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”
The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:

“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.
I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.
Shortly after, my friend noticed the his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.

A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Rahul Gandhi fans. Not really knowing what a Rahul Gandhi fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for little Johnny.

The teacher asked little Johnny why he has decided to be different… again. Little Johnny said, “Because I’m not a Rahul Gandhi fan.”The teacher asked, “Why aren’t you a fan of Rahul Gandhi?”Johnny said, “Because I’m a BJP supporter.”The teacher asked him y he was a BJP supporter

Little Johnny answered, “Well, my mom is a BJP supporter and my Dad is a BJP supporter, so I am a BJP supporter.”Annoyed by the answer, the teacher asked, “If your mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?”

Just now was listening to the spaces on Hindus being killed in Bengal and there this ex cop Nageshwar Rao did not leave any stone unturned to criticise Modiji Infact even said that Modiji is encouraging the genocide of Hindus .

But, the minute another speaker spoke ill about Indira he went on the defensive mode and was close to rubbishing the comments made saying the she was the only one from the Family who was not anti Hindu . Made every attempt to defend her .

The equal right wali madam was also a listener till the time Modi bashing was on by this officer but once their job was done and they realised that the other speaker is going yo speak in favour of Modiji. But quit the space.

The Doctor said, “Here is your vaccine.“
Punjabi said No.

The Doctor said, “Your neighbours have all taken the vaccine “.

So the Punjabi took the vaccine.

Then the Gujarati came in.
