Learn from our past mistakes
by Satyajeet Beuria on Dec 13, 2006 11:33 PM  | Hide replies

Maybe our armed forces don't learn from their past mistakes.Like Pakistanis sent specally trained commandos to infiltrate J&K our forces should also train and raise special units in army specialised in counter-insurgency operations.They should be specially equipped with upto-date weapons and equipments.Our govt and army should take notes from US who have special forces like Marines,Delta force,Green beret,etc.Maybe by doing this we can decrease the number of casualty and damage to life and property.Perhaps our politicians should think more of security of our nation than their own,after all if there would be no nation there would be no politics.

Indians as a people totally lack the will to kill the enemy, to defend themselves to the certainty, and to pursue the enemy till death. War is taken as just a routine activity that is required from time to time, but there is no concept of own versus enemy, of pursuit till the end, and of seizing initiative and advantage.

Such a lazy and unthinking people are doomed to face unending enemy actions, whose details might change as experience and technology improves, but one basic element will always remain, that the enemy can come in and kill Indians any day, any where, and in any manner they choose, without the Indians taking revenge.

Indians are like a prey people, and their enemy is a predator. The relationship is one sided and unchanging.

Great heroes.
by Ashok on Sep 22, 2005 12:10 PM  | Hide replies

What I can only comment about the gentleman in uniform is, heroes are heroes. They ain't hindu or moeslem or sikh ..just heroes they are.



Thing is they are not heard properly. Some people do the job of dividing people perfectly and bad is they are the ones that are heard, followed.



Are we as indians ever going to change or will it always be a hindu, a moeslem or a sikh that will supercede the very indian identity.



We probably need another war to bring out heroes.

Why do Indians who comment on the events of the permanent war not mention the very high probability that many influential planners of India are traitors loyal to the enmy ? Does it hurt so much to think of Indians in high places being real full blooded traitors, spies, and the like ?

If the general public does not start thinking of influential Indians as not just corrupt and inefficient, but motivated for the enemy, the situation is unlikely to improve for India.

The first thing in war is to know the enemy and what they want to do. Working out the best way to deal with it is secondary, but identifying the enemy, their agents and motives is primary, without which no war plan is worth anything.

Indians by and large make no effort to discover spies, traitors, and saboteurs in their policy making levels. As a result of it they have to watch helplessly as the enemy has a free run all over the country.

Communal accusations are a poor substitute for diligently seeking out enemy agents, taking them physically out of their position of influence, and sending own agents into enemy territory. War is all about winning, and cannot be won without carrying out these actions.

65 war : lessons yet to be learnt
by aniruddha on Sep 20, 2005 03:59 PM

Well timed article which brings out the reality of these characters behind Pakistani Army uniforms - who will not hesitate to risk lives of civilians for their cause but dis-own them if mission fails. But later on- memoirs are released by these leaders to stake a claim for credit!
Our PM needs to really do his home work well while negotiatinfg the so called peace process.

response to 65 war lessons
by ankur on Sep 19, 2005 08:42 PM

that was 65 and now its 2005, even after 40 years indian government fails to see the obvious..it consistantly suspects muslims of kashmir and that is why it does not talk to elected representatives but pakistani protages who never had any support..it is unfortunate that to get noticed by indian government one has to become a seperatist..india talked to sheikh abdullah only when he was talking of seperate state..same is true for hurriat leaders..
if one goes through the history of j&k one can see how this wound was kept open by almost painfully deliberate partisan and myopic governments...
we have been told how pakistan needs kashmir to justify its existance or to fool their masses & deflect their attention but truely speaking succesive indian governments are doing the same thing..sometimes to appease the minorities whose patriotic credentials are obviously suspected & on other times to terrorise indian people & create an enivironment of nationalistic hystiria & xenophobia..
the painful truth is that millions have been devastated,killed by this politics..& bad news is that it seems to continue...let's hope for the best

It is so disgusting that we are even talking to Pakistan about a part of our own country.
They want Kashmir, okay let's give it to them and in return let us have the part of India that became Pakistan!!
