Well done.
The guy who got abused was asking for it. If you heckle and heckle just to please RaGa then be prepared to get insulted.
Don’t test patience of a fauji. If Congress can call COAS as Gali Ka Gunda then calling a Congress stooge MC is well worth it.
Excellent reply 👍
Bakhsi epitomises the uncouth, mannerless Hindu. Despicable. I would be happy if the Paks or Chinese beat him.
Take a good hard look of yourself in the mirror… You will find the person worthy and deserving of those words “uncouth, despicable ” and many more to add to that staring back at you. Why don’t you just fade into that world where Hindus are not there if you hate them real bad instead of clinging in Hindustan enjoying it’s bounties. Shame on you!!!
I said Bakshi is a uncouth, despicable Hindu. Look at Sam Manekshaw. Not all Hindus fall in the Bakshi category, and they would know I am not speaking about them. Then how did you conclude I want a world without Hindus ?
Mr Rasgolla. Again, you appear to be allergic to facts.
Field Marshal Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw (RIP) was a Parsi, not a Hindu. And as regards your attempt to be politically correct by claiming:
“.. Not all Hindus fall in the Bakshi category ..”
raises another question, given your unparalleled expertise in all things Hindu.
What is the % of Hindus who fall in the General Bakshi category as opposed to Hindus who don’t ?
I know Manekshaw is Parsi, My point was minorities seem to have a higher proportion of upright people than Hindus.
Yes, I have an unparalleled expertise in all things Hindu as I am a keen observer of Hindus and their thinking, and I can stand back and analyse unsentimentally, unlike Bakhsi.
‘What is the % of Hindus who fall in the General Bakshi category as opposed to Hindus who don’t ?’
40% Hindus certainly voted for Modi and BJP. They strongly support fascism.
Another 50% Hindus have no issue with Modi’s murderous background – they look the other way.
Maximum there are 10% Hindus today who are liberal.
Today, the situation is Hindus will support their criminals out of false pride. All the wealth they got is due to MMS’s growth period. But they hate MMS and Sonia – because he was Sikh, she is Christian. They would rather have a criminal Hindu leading them. They have got that and they are happy with it.
Is it not a fact that today Hindus produce the worst in India – Modi, Shah, Uma Bharati, Viney Dubey any number of rapists, Babas, hate mongers like Arnob, and bank defaulters, ? You cannot deny it. Then the correct conclusion is Hindus are dragging India down. Why do you get enraged at this statistical conclusion ? You should point this out to Hindus and tell them to learn from minorities.
It is another question whether Hinduism is the cause for this abysmal output. That is another debate.
Bloody fool, rightly you are hiding under Rasgulla, you cannot spell correctly too. If you face Indian Army, you will be made bitter rosgolla.
You mean to say Indian army is good at killing Indians ? I can believe that, they are doing that in Kashmir. Like Indian police and Indian politicians. But that training does not help against China.
Mint also reaching to the new low to not show the complete unbiased Side of the event , thank god i saw this live in television and I surely can say that’s nothing objectionable any sane or normal indian would get so much furious , secondly he is getting old. And this is the exact replay what is needed, some one is talking French and you can’t answer in Sanskrit! So French was delivered! Anybody’s has a problem to that on television can watch sawara Bhaskar rasbhari , all the ethical questions will be answered if not then see swara empowering women with a vibrator in “veeray di wedding “ and that was a benchmark for mint as revolutionary! Shame who wrote this article !
Nandita Singh
Shame on you
If you don’t like him, don’t watch the channels he comes on, I guess the author of this article has not lost anyone in battle!! I have lost many and feelings are the same.
And if you don’t like Print, don’t read it.
ThePrint is a agenda driven portal which is Anti Current Government, Anti Army and Pro anything which harms the concept of India. Whenever i start reading an article here even before looking at the first word, I know what it would contain and as always they don’t disappoint me. You people hate anyone who speaks for a United, Multi cultural, Democratic India!!
Mr Nitin Shetty: Why would you call The Print anti-Governmenbt, anti-Army etc. ? Merely becuase The Print raises issues that are relevant, destroy your jingoistic idea of India and asks questions to which shakha educated chaps like you have difficulties answering ?
The General in question here has no business to go on television stations and run the foreign policy of the country. As French PM Georges Clemenceau famously put it:
“War is too serious a business to be left to the Generals”.
The way things are going now in India, it is quite likely that war will be declared on Pakistan and China by Arnab Goswami and his bunch of buffoons. Buffoons because no man of repute will be seen on his jingoistic shouting matches that he calls debates.
Yes, Ge, Bakshi has done great work in the Army and served the country honourably. But going on an Arnab Goswami show and screaming filthy abuses demenas the stature of the Army. And sullies his reputation.
Print Shit is replying.
Fact-free braying is clearly your forte !
Very true
the print and all the leftists are crying over these things , better keep focus on the real issues. stop insulting Indian army to run your agenda
Again an utter nonsensical article by print. What’s the base of print writing such articles..it seems they are getting quite handsome amount money to sell the country..otherwise there is no way they can earn via selling such rubbish articles…enjoying their freedom of speech…let them do so coz not many will give it a damn shit…!!!
Just want to understand what are curse words here…. When someone says same thing in english is cool…. But in other languages is curse words really ?? Grow up guys…. Be it anyone from any party let them express in their native language and no words are curse words
Maj.Gen.GD Bakshi is a true patriot and a great scholar.India needs more spiritual people like him.He has actually take part in war and his method of expression befits a real general..
You will understand his pain only when you lose your loved one at a very young age in war or warlike situations. And to rub salt on it, you can’t even take revenge. If he is so dangerous, look at his service of 40 years at various post in Army. Did he ever showed cruelty or let his idea of taking revenge override his sense of duty while serving in Kashmir??? I completely agree with the man who has seen so many deaths of his children. Every Commander consider his troops as his children. And he is a very strong source behind many youth to join Army. A girl from Sikkim or a cab driver from Pune are few of them. We need such real men who don’t want to be “politically correct” when it comes to motherland.
Bakhsi is a typical Hindu communalist and an empty windbag. On the battlefield, he will be ineffective like the Indian soldiers against the PLA.
For the Indian army to be effective, we need less of Hindus like Bakshi, but more Muslims, Sikhs and Gurkhas – these are the communities that are fearless once committed. The Bakshi type Hindu is an a rage precisely because he is conscious about Hindu impotence. Even if that was a Hindu weakness, he should not highlight it.
China and Pak together will act to check India as long as we have nasty Hindus like Bakshi.
But we don’t need pakistani like u. Better be in your country…you IP address tells your reality.
India would perform better if there were less Hindus like you and Bakshi !
@Nandita Singh
Well he loved, served and saw fellow get Martyed for the country…how can a lady who never set foot at border understand.people like you are like a red light ladies who write for anyone who pays more, with no self-respect and just for money.
You make a personal attack and pls don’t expect to get that back.
‘Well he loved, served and saw fellow get Martyed for the country…’
Even so, you have to act in a dignified way, and not like a jahil, emotional Hindu beating his breasts. You don’t see this behaviour in other communities.
Rasgola MC BC
Were those gaalis ? You are a real patriotic Hindu like Bakshi !
Aggressive views against hostile nations send a chill up the spines of our armchair journalists and status quo Baburaj. Their lifestyle is affected by Bakshi’s righteous anger at Pakistanis and others. They prefer pacifist surrender and idle talk. Nations are not defended in offices and newspapers. There is a price to pay for freedom. Bakshi is far far better than the rabid religious zealots of Pakistan. It’s the journalists of Print and the office chaaap babu that is the ban of India.
On the war front, Bakhsi would be a typical Hindu coward. He is making up for that in the studio.
An emotional person does not have control of his head and would be useless in a war.
A toilet paper..with cocked up write ups..just stfup
The pro china guy tried to lecture about war to a person who served 30 years as a soldier. He very much deserved it.
General GD Bakshi is far more bigger than print’s defaming article.
Communisto ke paise pe nhi palte wo desh ke liye Zindagi ji hai.
Gaali kam he jab desh ki bezati yaa indian army ki bezati karenge to maad v padegi
The Print ,”Biggest player of changing India’s narrative towards Anti nationalism and hater of Nationalist.
Who asks rights for terrorists and spread hate for Indian Forces.
It’s Shekhar Gupta’s fake news factory and aka Changing Narritives against India.
Propagandist, malicious article. The snake masquerading as journalist has bared his fangs against Major General Bakshi. Needs a thorough investigation on who all are his paymasters besides The Print!
Aap jinhe kutta bol rhe ho jaake unka record dekha , what the hell you have done for integrity and who the hell gives you right to say him stray dog
General rightly said.
Did we asked your your opinion on Retd. Maj Gen GD Bakshi? Just cover the news. Your job is to provide news, not to enforce your views on readers.
ARMY finish them all from the roots.Pakistani Administration is finished kill all the terrorist.
Nandita you and your print always working for dynasty and for favour. Be patriotic. We Indian army can offer 10 rs per head to be Indian firsr. Shameless Desh ka nahi huva tho husband ka hoga kya
Antinational mouthpiece like the print gets headache when someone thrashes Pakistan and china.it seems the print has got a good amount of money from them in doing their propaganda
Admire All Faujis.
But they all are carried away by channel like Republic India, Aaj Tak. All are BJP managed channel. Especially Arnab Goswami and his team are all bad anchors and treat guests very badly and always shout at them like they are there slaves. Arnab always is against Rahul &Sonia and uses bad language against them.
Lost interest in watching news which is fill of bull shit.
The time has come to be yourself. The art of being nice or pretending to be nice by so called elite Indians are gone. “If you feel bad about some one or something, then say it loud and clear”, is not that the freedom of speech? You can show sympathy and write about the freedom of speech of separatists, seditionists just because they support your chinese fat pay check. While some nationalists voice their opinion in a crude form, it makes pain in your intellectual, civilized pretending Gut.
Well done

Ms Singh, you have a like tab, but I searched for a ‘dislike’ tab. Plz keep that too.
Why do you even need to target Gen Bakshi(retd)?
Actually you are trying to get fame by using his name.
He is an honest man and speaks his mind fearlessly while engaging with selfish and corrupt panelists. Although he should refrain, but till the time he speaks with good intentions for the country, it can be ignored by most of his viewers.
Maj. Gen GD Bakshi is like a clown. Good entertainer without any serious substance.
Who is Nandita Singh to comment on a decorated army officer and a staunch nationalist ? Who is she to decide that Mr Bakshi is more rhetoric and shrill than substance. I mean how dare any armchair critic talks so stupid ? Mr Bakshi is not surviving on the crumbs thrown by congress. And has ms Nandita Singh lost a near and dear one, a brother or a sister or a father, being blown to pieces by India’s enemy ? Does she even know what is the pain of losing one’s brother in the most barbaric manner at a young age and not getting his full remains for performing the last rites ? It is regrettable that The Print is hotting new low every week because it can see the congress, its defacto patron losing its ground everyday and hence now wants to target people who strongly speak up against the enemies of the nation. And every Indian knows how democratic the father of the nation was when he made the unpopular Nehru as India’s PM by asking Sardar Patel, who has the support of the majority of CWC, to step aside and pander to Nehru’s greed. So please dont turn Gandhiji into some kind of God who cant be criticised or touched. He along with Nehru are responsible for some of the cancerous ills thia country is facing since long. An army officer who has given his sweat and blood for the nation has every right to speak his mind. So Ms Nandita Singh please dont be judgemental. First look inwards in the kind of dirty, biased journalism your portal practices. Look at the double standards of your boss who keeps quite when a Arnab, a Sudhir Chaudhary are hit with court cases for daring to question the Gandhi family and starts cribbing and questioning when other journos loyal to Gandhi family are questioned. Shame and disgusting level of journalism.
Correct facts. Print is exposed.
Cannot take anything against Maj General Veteran GD Bakshi.
There is nothing wrong in calling spade a spade.
I also call a spade a spade. Bakshi comes across as a typical cowardly Hindu, useless in the battlefield, but loud mouthed away from it.
Mr Rasgolla: Why this hatred against Hindus?
I have no hatred against Hindus. Only against Hindutva Hindus, they are wrecking India. Like Nazi Germans, Bakshi is a Hindu of that type.
abey to tujhe kyu khujli hori h? aise bakwas se article likh kr khud ko writer ya journalist mat ban. do kaudi ke article tere bas print jaisi jgah pr hi chap sakte h .aur zabardasti dusro ke news feed me push hoskte h …. itni musibt h logo ke pakistan ya kisi aur pr gusse se to vahin nikal le .teri jaisi vaise bhi bhot manhoosiyat bhari padi h india me…bloody useless self proclaimed writers
The Print-ers are also like termites in India… It’s the most fraudulent thing to happen to our country’s journalism… A paid propaganda agent… A propaganda machine… So much to say but not enough indecency to draw the complete sketch… Filth n scum mixed with poop…
Why r U as a part of media feeling so bad for his words?? We as a nation r ok with it..this only reverberates ur contradicting opinion that of ours…isn’t it shameful?
Ms Vidya: So you want your kids to learn that swearing is acceptable becuase this unhinged cartoon of a General is allowed to use the choicest of Hindi swearwords on TV?
It is women like you will end up rearing their sons to disrespect women Ms Vidya.
Pathetic Ms Vidya.
You suck big times ThePrint,so as your journalism. Bloody anti nationals.
This hate monger is a MOHRA and he is acting as per instructions of
his superiors.
He is your Abba !
Bakshi is good actor and can be replace for Amrish Puri
You seem to be a jihadi who is fit for terror camps in pakistan.
Go back to Pakistan
Bhonkta rehta hai kutta bhokney do, tab he woh survive karta hai barking dogs seldom bite. Pity for bakshi.
Maj Gen GD Bakshi retired as a Major General of the Indian Army and always led from the front. Without the fire that is at display now, he would not have been able to inspire his soldiers to sacrifice their lives. It is not equivalent of sitting in a hole and writing antinational articles on communist inspired Godi media. I love Gen GD Bakshi and would consider it a lifetime honour to stand before him and shake hands with him! Long live
Gen Bakshi!!!
HEY PRINT…. LISTEN…YOUR PROPAGANDA WILL NOT SURVIVE FOR LONG YOU LOSERS…BC porkio ki gaand chat na haramzade phr! Bloody asshole reporting shit
True
The General may have crossed the line (and what line is this!? With the kind of horrible things that is regularly done by politicians and other machiavellian characters in public life, I would take a foul mouthed but straight shooting person anyday), but his heart is in the right place.
I support the General, including his eclectic choice of language for above reasons.
He is a soldier and was in army not an arm chair person like you
Bhag Pakistani bhag
Bhag Pakistani bhag yahan se
We support G. D Bakshi sir, please we don’t want your validation, biased media print. Aur haa daksh beta, control your mouth or else gaali Tu bhi khayegaa and respect him. He is a war veteran.
Daksh
People like you are curse for a nation. Your parents must be repenting that they gave birth to a traitor like you
Theprint are the cancer that need to be removed. Full on propoganda and slander against a Major General of the Indian army. He called his opponent by his name whats wrong with that. Against his free speech or something?
Very good sir…well said!
Thanks for bringing biased media to our country ” the print” . Specifically formed just to hurt the patriotic sentiments. We Muslim so called minority thank you heartedly for showing this biased news. We the leftist always support Pakistan and Chinese Army though Indian Army actually protects us.
Look Ms. Nandita Singh. Why don’t you report of Kerala and Delhi Government stating the factually incorrect number of rising Covid cases? You find Gen.Bakshi and his comments on national television to a man defending the outsiders against his own countrymen. Why?
Delhi has reported factually incorrect data only after Mr.Amit Shah has Started overseeing Delhi situation
Even Gujarat is undereporting cases
Lowest testing rate in country is in Gujarat
very biased views by The Print , we need more of Maj Bakshi Type who don’t fear goons and come straight to the point of defending India.
If the journalist would have lost a brother he would understand.
Thanks
She lost her morals…
With due respect for Maj. Gen. GD Bakshi, did he even command an infantry Div of Indian army? Like Lt. Gen. Hooda or Lt. Gen. Panag must have, in their journey towards becoming Corp commanders and from thereon, GoC-in-C of the entire Northern Command. I have heard Lt. Gen. Hooda on TV, and he doesn’t at all sound like what you say Maj. Gen. Bakshi does. Each one has his style ; all I’m trying to say is, verbal belligerence does not really prove anything. Passion can be silent, but hallucinations of passion will necessarily have to be bombastic.
I do not know why THE PRINT has given so much “footage” to Gen. Bakshi, to use a word from Bollywood jargon. Are you next going to write about that obnoxious hot-gas-baloon, Arnab Goswami? My God! Is this a form of sadism or what?
Whatever his political leanings, just don’t stand in front of him when he lets off his tirade! He sprays you with spit. Perhaps, the face mask in today’s COVID times were made with him in mind.
Bakshi doesn’t behave like a retired army officer except for his white long moustache . Yes , while shouting or screaming he sputters & spits which is highly contagious to the people on stage . We all know he appears to be a paid stooge of the fundementalist BJP or RSS Hindu Racist organization but atleast he could keep up the decorum of the prestigious Indian army which espouses itself to be above religious or caste bias & is primarily there , just for the protection of the sovereignty of the country . Racism is a scourge of the modern world .
Hey you Pakistani Jahadi Keep shut your mouth and Ass.
First of all stop insulting a man who has spent his entire life serving the nation ,lost his brother yet decided to join the army,who the bloody hell on earth are you to judge him? U r either not Indian or just another sold Pakistani propagandist .u have a problem go cry to Ur mama. Maj. GEN. G.D. BAKSHI SIR WE SALUTE YOU. and yes his words were apt and exactly what as Indians we feel.
Why only Maj Gen GD Bakshi, every Indian would be happy to use choicest of bad words and abusive language against both Pakistan and China.
Time has come to make these Ba****ds pay.
The problem is an army run Hindu extremists like Bakshi will get beaten as we just saw.
Mohan: You pontificate:
“.. every Indian would be happy to use choicest of bad words and abusive language against both Pakistan and China ..”
I think you should go participate in Arnab Goswami’s hot air shows and screaming matches such that your parents, your kids and siblings can hear you scream bad words and abusive language. Such that your family and friends can finally realise your true class. Or lack thereof.
As regards making the “ba***ds” pay, well, you should perhaps start by smashing your Chinese made smartphone and Chinese made laptop. And for good measure, smash the Chinese made laptops and smartphones of your wife and kids as well. That way, you will be able to make one of the “ba****ds” pay.
With regard to the other set of “ba****ds”, try to get your son to join the Armed Forces and wear the green camouflage of the Forces and not covet n American Green Card.
And let me make a guess: None of above will happen. You will continue using your Chinese smartphones and you will send your kids to a “phoren country”. Very unlikely that you would want your kids to freeze on Siachen glacier and starve on uneatable Army rations.
Armchair valour is easy to display Mr Mohan. Exactly like your hypocrisy.
He is Patriot, Nationalist and keeps his point way to clear. Hope The print will also call him for interview s and promote a person who spend full his life in serving his nation.
Sure man
We want nationalist on TV not arm chair nincoompoos who can’t defend india. I salute major bakshi. I fully support what he said.
Lenguage in recorded means should be as per our literature and not sentimental. Now the media may be blamed for the deeds।
Most TV media channels are entertainment and not media. Gen Bakshi is a pawn for these channels. Frankly any serious and intelligent army man will not appear on a channel like the one mentioned.
If smart Indian army officers like him won’t come to news channels to explain the situation , then some idiots will start to believe that the other nation taking control upon us.
I sincerely am worried about his health. I fear someday he might suffer a stroke or a cardiac arrest on live TV because of his anger. The Major needs to cool down, especially at this old age.
You upgrade your knowledge. He is not a major
You bl**dy the print ! Why do you have a burning sensation in your an*s when someone expresses his patriotism, whether it’s Arnab Goswami or Gen. Bakshi? What do you want this country to be; just a chaotic one, that has been for the most part of the last seven decades? Shame on you and your propagandist activities ….
What a shame , you are writing such a defaming article against a person who served nation more then writer’s age.
The print in anti national we all know
Your concerns for his health are appriciated. But he is Major General and not a major!
He is a once-upon-a-time Major General, now he he is a third class communal vagabond., only fit for a shakha. You can compare his nationalism to Anurag Thakur. You are assessed by your present form.
