1990 Kuwait Airlift

In 1990, when 1,00,000 Iraqi soldiers armed with 700 tanks marched into Kuwait, the royals and VIPs had fled to Saudi Arabia. The general public was left behind to fend for themselves. Over 1,70,000 of those stranded in Kuwait were Indians.

On August 13, 1990, 12 days after the invasion took place, India kicked off the evacuation process after diplomatic negotiations. Air India flights brought the first batch of Indians home.

Over the next two months, more than 1,70,000 Indians were airlifted and repatriated to India.

It was touted as one of the most successful evacuation missions in history and Air India registered itself in the Guinness World Records for executing the largest-ever air evacuation mission."

There were men and now all we have is a Bhompu!

Fahad Zuberi writes about the insensitive Modi who does not really care for anyone other than the reflection that he sees in the mirror every morning.....

"Remember this. Most of the stranded Indian students in #ukraine are Hindus.

And Narendra Modi blamed them for their own suffering because they're studying medicine in "small foreign nations" instead of India.

The Prime Minister has no consideration for the suffering of those students and their family members - his own citizens who voted him to power.

If you think that politics of psychopathy will not knock on your doorstep because you are not Muslim or Schedule Caste, you're wrong."
