Bharat Rakshak

Sunil

Hi, Thanks for the compliment Ramana. The Pakistanis keep falling for the DDM cr*p that Parakram was a failure. They miss the following points: 1) The equivalence between India and Pakistan is no longer sustainable - even within Pakistan itself. Everyone in the world increasingly sees Pakistan as a ...

Sunil

I try to put myself in Musharraf's shoes and ask myself who would I sacrifice if India were to put the pinch on me? I would sacrifice the shooters. They are easily replaceable. I would not sacrifice the intelligence officers and the principal officers as they are very hard to replace - you will have...

Sunil

Hi, I don't know where Col. Athale is going with this so let me get off a shot across his bow. After 9-11 the Pakistanis were asked to fold up their end of Al Qaida and the Taliban. They agreed to fold up their end of the Taliban but left their options open on the Al Qaida thing. There was a distinc...

Hi JCage,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Shoot for March 30 and pick photos carefully (don't put Su-30 photos and the like - there is enough of that out there already).

That way caption load will be minimum.

email me at breadomlette at yahoo dot com for further discussion.

Sunil

Hi JCage, Can you put together a photo essay of the indigenous systems and Indian companies at Aero India for the next SRR issue? The photo essay format is here . You can shoot for 10-15 photos with captions of about 50 words each. Once again *only* indigenous systems absolutely no outside stuff. Th...

Sunil

The DPRK people have their back to a corner. In the negotiations the Chinese are reluctant to back them up visibly for fear of offending powerful trading partners, the Americans are keen to push with the infiltration of their political system, and the South Koreans want to push ahead with re-unifica...

Sunil

NRao,

(slapping my head)

Ofcourse you are right!!

Sunil

So a "Terrorist State" now officially has nuclear weapoms. Well might as well sell them F-16s, F-15s and AWACS to help raise their conventional use thresholds. Hey I mean like the Pakistanis I am sure that the North Koreans won't use the bomb if they have conventional parity with their nuc...

Sunil

Hi, Another explanatory note is needed on the naming issue. Usually when the Army starts doing something the initial deployment phase has to be planned and executed. This is given a name - eg. Operation Rakshak. The name is usually chosen from a list of names of previous operations that were atleast...

Sunil

Hi Rishi, A request: Keep orbat portions directly sourced. Ex. when writing "In May 44 Bn RR conducted highly successful area dominance operations south of Kishtwar" use the MS Word endnote feature to put a reference in right there. People in India get very upset when they see information ...

Hi,

What is Operation Garuda? (is this the indo-french trainex? - shouldn't it be Exercise Garuda?)

Sorry Denis,

I am out of action for the next month.

Sunil

Ah.. the sage speaks again...

Welcome back MTS... aap likho miyan ... we'll take care of the rest.

YIP give me the signal for when you want Op. Teram Shehr to begin.

Sunil

YIP, Sidebar: (I think our friends from Beijing are going to love this). The Sinologists should not be confused as they often are with the Left Wing of the Indian political spectrum. The Indian Left is no different from any other political formation in India. Though it shares a sense of Leftist ideo...

Years later an ISI officer Major Ikram Sehgal.... :D Enjoy... http://www.mediamonitors.net/ikramsehgal50.html To whom was US $ 100000 or thereabouts transferred from BCCI Karachi (now Bank Alfalah) to bank accounts in Canada almost on a daily basis uptil mid-1988? Why is a government committed to a...

Sunil

Hi Harsh, You are right I had the dates backward. The point I was trying to make was that the politicking doesn't end in India. Even during Kargil there was a constant flow of assorted political nastiness. AFAIK That is life in India. **** War Council IIIA Verghese watched the dicussion go around an...

Sunil

YIP here it comes. I have borrowed the format from Jyoti Arya's article on Musharraf. ----- Shweta racked her mind for the exact time that she had come across the name and the photo. Then it hit her... Operation Tufail.. Nepal... fake currency... something about Dilshad Ahmad Beg... and Babloo Sriva...

Sunil

Anjangarh..?? okay if you prefer... but I like Mohammedpur.

Sunil

> need bios. give me the weekend, I'll get them to you. Mody, I welcome feedback, and by God... I welcome contributions even more. As regards diversity and depth - (shrug) Yeh hain India... every single literary work I have seen by an Indian author contains mind numbing details. All the hi-fi summar...

Sunil

When MTS returns he will close the story as best he sees it. I will follow YIP's lead till then. I sense public wants to see a big fight - which is not my style - but YIP has that covered so I will support his storyline with side bars. I can reconcile the story lines placed here but I am baffled as ...

Sunil

> i totally agree with modi.. Dil Chahta Hai, Dil Chahta Hai Dil Chahta Hai, Kabhi Na Beete Chamkeele Din Dil Chahta Hai, Hum Na Rahein Kabhi Yaaron Ke Bin Din Din Bhar Ho Pyaari Baatein YIP Janaab, bacche log chocolate maang rahe hain... kya karen hum? Hum yahan isharon hi isharon mey baat kar rahe...

Sunil

Hi, I beg to differ with Mody. The posts are very much in the grain of the story. A war isn't all about troop movements and flankers - at its heart, every war is about a political struggle - which occurs at several planes. Most people see India's polity as weak and fractious. This is the view of a &...

Sunil

YIP, The "coup" is merely a vehicle for a new conflict resolution strategy that departs from the low key style that Arora represents and offers room for political maneuver, so it will remain in place. But the leader of government is still Arora and so the authority that entails will remain...

Sunil

Hi, If we assume that Shivi made Major just after 1984, I think the timetable works out. YIP, The thing is beginning to look a little skewed so this should bump it up. *** The party chief was now beginning to have second thoughts, she called Shivji over for dinner that night and over a plate of praw...

Sunil

YIP... it isn't ab tak chappan. You have the right idea, I am going to flesh dighe out because of the cool factor.

Sunil

Ah... My mistake MTS named him Manoj Dighe. I got the names mixed up. See changed scripts. I have no idea what is the Kerik angle is I don't have kerik's bio so please tell me if there is a problem. I had made up the MHA's persona based on a composite of four major national politicians when I wrote ...

Sunil

Okay time for a quick strike. I will build this up as I go along. Manoj Avinash Dighe, the first born of the Dighe family of Satara, Maharashtra, was now "incharge" as the MOD Ronen put it between his customary giggles. Avinash Yashwant Dighe had left his hometown of Mahuli, in Satara Dist...

Sunil

Haha.. YIP ... you've been planning that since Leila-1 haven't you?

Sunil

rajpa,

working on just that. give me a few weeks. it takes time to work it in properly.

Sunil

Yaar jo bhi likhna hai likho, go with the flow etc... but style match karo bhai. All this colorful "gps-durga-hare-rama-hare-krishna" style is there in plenty in mainstream movies and tom clancy and in Aniruddha Bahal's Bunker 13... why go down that beaten path? Kuch naya banao boss, somet...

Sunil

Hi Daulat, I love reading your detailed and descriptive NSN reports. You clearly have the talent so all I am asking is why not put in the few extra days needed to push the Katrina story into a more realistic description of events? Its not like we are working to a time limit or something. I think YIP...

Sunil

Hi, To answer bhavani's question, the character development is the key to revealing attitudes that people have. The person is more important than the actual event because ultimately how the event gets interpreted is more a function of the mindset that the person has. Without the insight into the thi...

Sunil

Hi,

Its not that I don't like the idea of a double cross, it is just that I am a bigger fan of Le Carre than I am of Clancy. "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" is my favorite Le Carre novel.

Sunil

Hi Daulat, Boss - that entire scenario with the cross border raid is not taking. I read it twice, and it simply feels unreal and out of place with the rest of what we see in the thread. Can you do something about this? is there a way to make it more real? Firstly, it stretches the imagination to thi...

Sunil

Kgoan, I hope my reworked post makes it clear why it has to be who it is and not who it could also be. MTS, My inspiration was Jacob Abraham, I have been desperate to produce something that comes to that standard. Satish Warichoo is my attempt, I'll polish it up as the days go by. and Boss.. this th...

Sunil

Nice touch.. I am going to poke in just a bit. DIG S. Warichoo watched as Katrina walked into the front room of her house. The moment of distraction passed, and thoughts turned to Karan seated in front of him. Dark thoughts filled his mind. The son of a Kashmiri police officer who had been killed in...

Sunil

Nice!!... the Jacobs character is brilliant. YIP if you are following this, dude.. give the Bull of Manipur a chance - you'll have to work hard though MTS just raised the bar for everyone here.

I am inspired by MT's work with Jacobs.
