The funniest part is when Arnab said he's "going to get up and leave the studio for just a minute to make a phone call and confirm one piece of news".....Yeah, like all the other pieces of news he is putting out are already confirmed, just this one pending
That should make sense to IMF. Which prudent financial institution would want to sink more money into a country that is quite possibly going to disappear, and nobody will be responsible for paying them back.
Breaking news: Hafiz Saeed converts to Hinduism at Sharda temple, begs for mercy, requests Indian visa for a foreskin graft operation.
KL Dubey call Arnab and let him know. He will break this to his audience next very second without a thought.
In the reuters article the whole language is itself very questionable. "Top Pilots" who the hell told Reuters if pilots of that plane were top? It is as if some body from Pakistani channels wrote itwilliams wrote: ↑09 May 2025 02:17

- Semi credible news from India today and Times now
https://www.reuters.com/world/pakistans ... 025-05-08/
- Very credible news from a foreign channel
And a lot of in between information. However all pakistani local handles are suppressed by the ISI - So no local Paki videos from Abduls in X now. We probably will get some good information tomorrow in the Indian press briefing.
However I would listen to this man very carefully - He has contacts in MoD (I will leave it at that)
Oh just go to CNN or Bee Bee See, it is the same language but it is shiny from the west and many like it. I would say we Indians need to get out of this colonial mindset thinking these "so called" established western networks are reliable while our own channels are not credible...just saying. BTW on the 6th night it is our own channels who broke the news about our first set of strikes.In the reuters article the whole language is itself very questionable.

US vice president says India-Pakistan conflict is “none of our business”
From CNN’s Kit Maher
Vice President JD Vance said in an interview today that the conflict between India and Pakistan is “fundamentally none of our business,” though he and President Donald Trump are encouraging the countries to deescalate.
Apparently indias representative has to be present to pass that amount. He has been recalled.
Not true. There are a few live cams from pakis that I follow and they are still active as of 5 mins ago. So are the websites that originate from that country.
At this point if US and other major powers say, "none of our business" that is good. We can take care of the problem as we wish.vimal wrote: ↑09 May 2025 03:01 Meanwhile in the USA JD Vance says this, what a shame!

Exactly that is what matters the most. If India has to rise in stature worldwide we need to fix TSP problem economically, militarily and diplomatically. Otherwise these ISI/PA folks will always try to pinch us every now and then to create hurdles and problems. Anyone who wants to bother us could leverage them and they will happily take up the work for highest bidder.
India hasn't done anything to night that it hasn't already done yesterday morning, i.e., attack multiple cities in pakistan in response to their attacks on Indian military installations the previous night as confirmed by MEA. Pakistan continued its intransigence and intensified its attacks on Indian civilian and military establishments to night and it is only to be expected India will retaliate with more intensity.
That is why I almost never watch him. But that is no reason to doubt his ethics. IndiaTV was reporting the same things Republic TV was at the same time. Both were clear when they were not sure and when they could confirm it. Now several other news channels are reporting 3 paki fighters down.
Leo XIV elected as first American pope.
Several news outlets claiming 3 paki planes shot down. Either thay all have the same sources or they are suffering from FOMO or its true.
Earlier, multiple sources told ANI that a Pakistani Air Force jet was shot down by Indian Air Defence systems in the Pathankot sector of Punjab. However, official confirmation from the government is still awaited, and more details are expected soon.
Defence sources also said that the Indian Army shot down two Pakistani drones in the Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The drones were intercepted during a heavy exchange of artillery fire between Indian and Pakistani forces.
Maj Gen Ian Cardozo says a mistake made by the BBC during the 1971 war helped his unit take on and defeat a numerically superior Pakistani force.
.....
At the time, Cardozo was a major in a 5 Gorkha Rifles battalion, comprising about 750 soldiers, that was tasked with capturing Atgram near Sylhet.
It was short of artillery and food supplies, but ultimately managed the surrender of two Pakistan Army brigades, including three brigadiers, a colonel, 107 officers, 219 JCOs and 7,000 troops in one of the most incredible successes of the war.
Speaking at a book release event here, he said: “Today I would like to use this platform to pay tributes to the BBC. They were the only reliable broadcasting station at that time, giving news as it happened. The Indian Army had nothing to hide, so the British war correspondents were going along with our troops.
“They were reporting minute-to-minute the progress of the battle. But they made a mistake. They announced that a ‘brigade’ of Gurkhas had landed at Sylhet. We heard it, as well as the Pakistanis. So we decided to pretend that we were a brigade.”
Taking advantage of the misinformation, Cardozo’s battalion built on small victories and created a situation where the Pakistani troops offered to surrender on December 15, 1971. Until it happened, Cardozo and others believed a Pakistani brigade was in the area, but they were surprised to discover the final number was more than twice the strength of a brigade.
Even after having twice the number of said soldiers, pakis wet their khakis after hearing that Gurkhas have landed.A_Gupta wrote: ↑09 May 2025 04:15 I recall an apocryphal story from 1971. India dropped 5000 paratroopers in East Pakistan/Bangladesh behind Pakistani lines and the BBC reported 50,000; and this supposedly demoralized the Pakistanis. When it was too late, the BBC said "oops! we made a mistake".

But apparently, we can't believe any news outlet according to several of our forum members. So, I will wait for official confirmation."Operation Sindoor is fully underway. Pakistan army chief Asim Munir will not be given a face-saving exit," a senior officer told TOI, as India's counter-strikes were still unfolding at night, including forward deployment of warships in northern Arabian Sea and total breakdown of the LoC ceasefire.
the hindu tweet that stated that 3 rafaels were downed by the bakis also had the source at the time "a government official", this was taken verboten as indian government confirms loss of 3 rafaels everywhere and the only thing westerners know about this conflict to date... faceless sources are convenient to put any story out, veracity comes later, the toi article may be correct, but with goi sources, there is no back pedaling and mental gymnasticshanumadu wrote: ↑09 May 2025 04:35
