Sharing some thoughts on the recent moves by the Arakan Army on the Bangladesh-Myanmar Border.
Let's see how this one goes .. Let me just begin with this bombastic video of Bangladesh Army veterans threatening to capture Kolkata within four days!
Very bombastic, I'd say .. especially when their own generation got the blunt end of the stick from Pakistanis in 1970-71 and couldn't do anything about that!

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the current state of affairs in Bangladesh.
Let's see how this thread goes .. First and foremost, let us call it for what it is currently - An attempt at re-establishing East Pakistan.
Yup, that's what it is. Pakistan attempting to return to its erstwhile colony via proxy.

One man, unarmed, changed entire narrative of 26/11 by ensuring one Paaki gets caught alive.

Folks, sharing some thoughts on Big Tech that has become an integral part of our daily lives as individuals as well as collectively.
The trigger was the massive outage of Microsoft devices some weeks ago. Have been having some thoughts since then.
Let's see how it goes.. First and foremost, here is a link to the outage of Microsoft devices due to some issue with CrowdStrike, for those who might have forgotten it.

This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops! Image

Last night just as I was about to hit bed, this short thread landed up on my TL.
My first reaction was that this was inevitable!
Sharing some thoughts on this latest development.
Let's see how it goes ..
First and foremost, I will share this video of Dacca University, taken in March 1971, aired by NBC News 10 months later.
THIS is how the endgame of 1971 commenced - with the West Pakistani occupiers killing students and professors ..
MUST watch the video and hear the commentary

Sharing some thoughts on the #Bangladesh issue that has flared up over the past few days.
Thoughts are still unstructured, let's see how this thread goes .. I will start by saying that If you STILL cannot hear the drums of war, you must be deaf indeed!
The wheels of history seem to be moving with increasing urgency lately, getting greased with more and more blood. Sad, as it may be, it is just history repeating itself.

This day in 1999, a young Captain by the name of Manoj Kumar Pandey was going gung ho, clearing Paakis in Khalubar.
Little would he have have known that he had just about 43 days more in this world, before he attained martyrdom, and with it, immortal fame ..Image He led the most difficult tasks assigned to 1/11 Gorkha Rifles in the war, with full confidence in his fellow Gorkhas to deliver. Image

So yesterday was the second anniversary of the day an Indian Brahmos landed up in Mian Channu in Bhikharistan. In light of the same, replugging a short thread I did in the immediate aftermath of that.
Here goes! Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent trip of a not so distant cousin of Shri Brahmos Ji to the Land of the Pure.

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.

A thousand years old Varun Dev Mandir in Manora Island beach Karachi - Being used by Pakistan as a toilet for tourists. Image Looks like the tweet above has generated quite some discussion. Apparently, the temple is no longer being utilized as a public toilet for some time now.
That said, replugging a thread tweeted some years back with the hashtag #PakistanAgainstMinorities, chronicling systemic hatred

Folks, sharing some thoughts about the ongoing events in Israel.
Let's see how this thread goes .. But first, let me take you 50 years back - to 06 Oct 1973.
That day, sometime in afternoon, the Egyptians executed a brilliant crossing of the Suez Canal and rushed ahead into the Sinai Peninsula that was theirs till 1967.
At the same time, Syrians too attacked Israel from North.

I am not entirely in agreement with those who say that it was a Packie missile that landed at the Dera Ghazi Khan nuclear facility.
That said, technically speaking, Chinese missiles in Packie inventory have gone as far as Iran as well!
#JustSaying
The missile test landing 'by mistake' at that facility is simply too fantastical to be true. The odds would be one in a billion.
If they used that area as a storage facility for nukes, I wouldn't put it past the Brown Panted Ones to have had one gone off, even if a tactical one.

Ok folks, sharing some thoughts on the latest fart that Shri Trudeau Ji let out in the Canadian Parliament not very long ago.
Thoughts are still a bit jumbled, let's see how it goes .. So, where did this begin, one must ask.
Well, the seeds of Canadian support to Khalistan were sowed much before Justin Ji was out of his diapers .. when his own father was the Canadian Prime Minister who not only saw the killing of 300+ Canadian citizens by Canada based ..

Today is the 38th anniversary of the bombing of Air India 'Kanishka' by Canada based terrorists.
Replugging some thoughts on the same.
Canada, this one will haunt you till time's end. Letting out some thoughts and some facts when it came to Western nations not merely looking away at terrorism aimed at India in the 70s, 80s and the 90s, but in cases, actually encouraging it.
This state sponsored terror from West cost us dearly then, and costs us dearly even now

Two Volumes spanning 1574 pages.
Started reading on 26 May after taking four days to gather the courage to actually start!
Finished last night.
Spent the better part of three weeks ignoring every task because I just couldn't let go of this masterpiece.
Sharing some thoughts .. First and foremost .. JUST ORDER A SET FOR YOURSELF!
The narration is brilliant, broken down into small chapters so as not to make reading it a daunting task.
On the other hand, this makes the books difficult to put down, given the greed of reading 'just one chapter more'! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A man of unshakeable principles, Thimayya offered his resignation on atleast three occasions before 1947.
On two occasions, he was counselled by his British seniors who were gracious enough to concede his concerns were genuine, as also guiding him that these didn't merit .. 2
.. throwing away a promising career.
Then there was one occasion when he had a chance to meet Motilal Nehru sometime in the 30s in the peak of nationalist fervour.
Once again an offer to resign his commission in favour of joining the nationalist movement was made by Thimayya.
