No, my post referred to the confused public reaction from the Pak high command. The army said it was LoC firing and Sharif called a meeting and said it was a serious atrocity (which is not the normal reaction for LoC firing)
If someone says "we killed x whereas you killed y" what else could that mean?
My comment was also in response to what I perceived were giddy, arrogant remarks - I'm sure nobody wants war.
I'd recommend you lock this thread for a day or two. Hate to see anyone getting banned.
Apparently an Indian soldier captured. Was he kidnapped from the Indian side? Or were Indian cannons shooting Indian soldiers during their "cross border firing"? 
If someone says, "About fecking time
" - when people have died - what is that supposed to mean?Terrorists getting blown up in their sleep deserves that response IMO.If someone says, "About fecking time
Not sure why you need to lock the thread. Any kind of chest thumping should be avoided when it comes to citizens or soldiers dying. Terrorists on the other hand is a different thing. I agree with you that folks need to stay out of the thread if you can't keep your emotions in check.
There's been a lot of talk from the Indian government about dealing with cross-border terrorism and getting tough on terror and all the rest of the rhetoric. A lot of Indians perceived them to be empty words until these strikes, and are glad to see real action being taken. There is also a difference in soldiers being killed versus militants who were planning more attacks being taken down.If someone says, "About fecking time
Miserable standard of posting. I know it's an emotional topic for many but this isn't the YouTube comment section.I have quotas to meet or my family will starve, ok?
Still waiting for Pakistan to grant independence to the people of PoK. They care so much about them after all..Fair, so how about actually giving PoK independence, then? Somehow I don't see that happening
Can't have that!Pakistan as a nation will probably cease to exist in another 50 years, so in all likelihood Kashmir will become independent...just depends if India will ever allow it.
Why do you think that?
Pakistan is kept together using religion, unfortunately in south Asia, blood and ethnicity is way more important.
What?
I assume he thought I was of Pakistani heritage or something.I was wrong when I said nobody wants war. There are war mongers both sides (for some reason a lot in India) .You won't believe this! I've just had a sales call from India concerning gas and electricity, the guy asked for the manager and I told him he's not here (I don't want to talk to them), he then goes off on one talking about how "we're going to destroy pakistan"....seriously, out of fecking nowhere he just comes out with that
Mate, the guy sounded so fecking happy telling me this, that's the most unnerving thing.
Even if there is a war, I doubt if Pak will exercise use of Nukes.( India has a no 1st use policy). Pak using Nukes would mean China unable to support them vocally or financially, US and the EU siding with India unanimously. Even if China does declare support of Pak and help in war, a nuke would change things with US and EU supporting India in war, and eventually ending in a WW3
And I doubt US or EU would step this in. It still is a regional war and all I can see is this extending to include Russia (for India) and China (for Pak), but that's it. WW3 is definitely a stretch.
1 soldier from 37RR has inadvertently crossed over to other side of LOC. Pak has been informed by DGMO on hotlineNarrative being changed as we speak
My post was about the timing of the hockey match win.
That is what you get when the media has been harping about retaliation 24X7. I am deeply concerned with this ultra-nationalistic approach that Indian media has taken in recent years. I am pretty sure such strikes always happened in the past. The fact that it has been chosen to be presented in the media however, is a new phenomenon. Pretty sure it is meant to appease the bloodlust that has emerged. For me war is never a solution, and foreign policy is there for that reason. I am pretty sure those shouting at the media won't be enrolling or sending anyone from their family to war. Celebrating the Army and putting eagerness to put them in the front for war are juxtapositions that we find quite frequently in India and even more so these days.
People, usually foreigners, have been saying this for decades...
Nonsense.
There's just one idiot who's stinking up the place and constantly making goading posts.
It maybe semantics but I see difference in this being surgical strike, at multiple locations. The article explains what surgical strike is and strikes of that kind, at multiple locations, hasn't happened that often. The part that it wasn't made official before, on very few occasions it happened is true with reason being it meant a counter was done while continuing the outer pretense of solving through dialogue. It also helped pretend or be in denial that things are not bad as well. That's not true though. Violation of ceasefire from Pak has increased recently and there was Uri attack. Don't forget Pathankot too. Pakistan has never proactively or genuinely tried to reach peace. Maybe it is because of Army power in that country but whatever the reason, there is a limit till which India can keep on trying for peace, one-sided.
Unlikely, we aren't a theocratic state enforcing one set of beliefs onto everyone within the state.
Huh ? Indian media except maybe 1/2 relatively moderate channels on this issue has been far from liberal. Infact they have been war mongering and doing jingoism to ridiculous extents. Pakistan media has been same it seems.
States rise and fall, 70 years is nothing in the great scheme of things.
Yes but posters should know better than to get involved. Just report it and move on.
