Replugging some thoughts on recent spate of incidents in the Valley.
Here goes ..

Ever since the humiliation of 1971, further reinforced by 1999, Paki Army is well aware they stand no chance in a face to face war with ..

Hence the other option - bleeding by a 1000 cuts - first by..

Thank God for the uniformed men of this nation that the Punjab issue has ..

However, in doing so, our forces have been paying a huge price by the way of their own blood, with the ..

.. army itself losing on an average 150-200 men every year, as per figures released every year on Army Day. JKP too suffer huge losses ..

However, IMO ..

The locus of what is wrong in the Valley lies ..

The Khakis have..

Things will NOT ..
