On his 103rd birth anniversary, ThePrint takes a look at the life of Lt Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora, the Indian Army veteran who planned & executed the 1971 war.
On this day in 1971, the Pakistani Army surrendered in then East Pakistan, after Indian defence forces successfully completed operations on two fronts.
Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh in his new book ‘Intertwined Lives’, drawing on P. N. Haksar’s archives, presents a compelling chronicle of the people...
Pakistan aimed to convey a message to the West about its counterterrorism efforts and show China that it has control over the CPEC routes. However, both messages fell flat.
According to a report by Macquarie, India’s data centre market is estimated to double by 2027. India currently has 1.4 gigawatts of operational data centre capacity.
At 11th edition of Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue in New Delhi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi said there are three major currents shaping this maritime 'dynaxity'.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
All these 2 kaudi journalists will write about strategy and diplomacy. Why doesnt india do a mandatory draft of all 21 yr olds for 2 years like israel so common man- and woman -knows what military means. Pakis need to be bankrupted with cold war and escalation and deployments of weapons. They cannot survive a 50billion dollar cost yearly. India is indisciplined. This government won’t get elected unless it visibly retaliates. Time to break up pakistan and take back PoK. India has to show its resolve which it did not after 2001 and 26/11 and hijacking. It only showed its incompetence. Modi can change that and he must.
Anti-Pakistan sentiment on the rise, just before elections? hmmm Articles like these are springing up everywhere pandering to such hateful rhetoric. A war between our two countries is stupid and can only lead to mutually assured destruction, saying anything to the contrary is highly irresponsible and delusional!
Comment from Pakistan side, I’m pashtun and we are supporting our Muslim brothers if the war started between India and Pakistan, if we can defeat super powers Russia, UK and Alexander the great and to repeat a history how you ppl lose half of Kashmir, we haven’t lose any war if the reader is good knowing history of pashtuns . But as human being hatred cannot be drive out by hatred it can be drive out by love. Let’s join hands and support each other.
1. Security lapse that has caused it, who is responsible, India or Pakistan?
2. Not talking to Kasmiris to resolve their grievances, who to blame?
3. Occupation, subjugation, rapes, torture, extra judicial killings of her own citizens, who is responsible, India or Pakistan?
4. Human rights violation, extra judicial killings, a couple of hundred thousand security personal for a couple pf decades could not control the Kashmir’s what is the massage for people in Delhi?
Loosing precious lives of 49 mens, putting lives in danger for millions more, is it prudent? Do you have the capacity to inflict pain on Pakistani’s with immunity? It’s living in a fools paradise to even think for military action. If Indian military was capable enough to control the situation in Kashmir, there would not have been any event like Pulwama. It hurts, it’s hard, but that’s the way it is unfortunatley.
Threatening a neighbouring country to impose sanctions on sports, literature, economy, and isolation has not worked in the past and seems unlikely to work now. End of the day Indian and Pakistan have to share the same geography, putting brakes on one’s progress would effect the other. What have we learned from First Afghan War outcomes in 1990’s?
God bless all those who have lost lives in Pulwama, God bless people of Kashmir who loose everything that the have on a daily basis. May God bless Indian politicians with sanity to address the issue of their failed policy towards Kashmir.

Reading between lines, while trying to appear balanced, what Mr Pai seems to be suggesting is that India has virtually no option except to remain stymied. He certainly has not articulated measures that would hurt the Pakistani military sufficiently without triggering an escalation. India has always played an appeasement approach to Pakistan and Kashmir. Look where it has brought us – exactly where Pakistan want us to be. Impotent in the face of constant attacks! This nuclear defence threat of Pakistan should not be taken at its face vale because that presupposes that the Pakistani Generals are willing to risk self annihilation! Kashmir issue will not go away whether we are stymied or otherwise. It is time Pakistan gets its own medicine back. India should make a concerted effort to destabilise areas of Pakistan that are vulnerable, such as Baluchistan but also in other theatres. This is not just a war for Kashmir, this is a jehad they have undertaken against largely Hindu neighbour and they will not stop this till they are exhausted, physically and economically. So a combination of diplomatic, trade, sports and cultural freeze India should accompany support for insurgency movements within Pakistan. Indian Government should require BCCI to withdraw from participating in ICC tournaments when Pakistan is involved and any foreign player who participates in Pakistani domestic tournaments should be banned from IPL. BCCI’s financial muscle will have impact on ICC. Starving Pakistan of water resources should also be considered. We have a variety of means that must not be just talked about but applied. If China becomes a thorn on our side we have a huge trade deficit with them and in China’s current economic situation it would not want to walk away from the Indian market. They must be warned of the possibility of trade curbs with China in the event it threatens our measures to tame Pakistan.
One constructive suggestion for the future : No more supercessions n the military. The idea of India going to war with Pakistan is so absurd, it does not even merit a comment.
what are the costs india is any way incurring for combating terrorism in kashmir on a daily basis since last two decades? 1800 cr/day is around average rs. 130/head per day. Instead of aiming just a revenge for the terror attack, with a concrete plan to dismantle the pak terror mechanism totally in india and in pak ,if we go ahead, the cost is worth. The least we need is demoralising articles like this

U know, when i read these articles, i have a feeling that god is still there to protect us.
Then reading comments, i feel like i am already dead.
Very sad to see people loosing lives in Pulwama.
