Do you also take the Pak's allegation with a pinch of salt? If so, then there is no need to discuss this at all is there? Unless you are saying Gen. Kapoor is less credible in your eyes than the Pak guy (where is this Q&A anyways?)...

I atleast take the info coming from our side with a pinch of salt but I dont even consider the paki side capable of any honest debate. I am done with talking with them, their version of peace is to prepare for battle. Some times people on our side mirror them, they are Hindus who converted to fanatic islam,they just pray to a different name but their paranoia borders their enemies word for word.

I understand now that the right wingers in any country insult the left wing liberals, When Bill Maher calls Americans stupid for electing George Bush for a second term the right wing Republicans call him unpatriotic and a commie. This is the same case here.

karthik,

there is no left-wing, liberal yada yada in India, and there is no right-wing yada yada in India. This is all stuff invented in the West for Western audiences.

In India, there are only those who understand Indian national interests and those who don't.

The question remains, which method to take in achieving one's goals. Should one take the 'peace' path or the 'confrontation' path?! That is something people can differ on!! But even that is a non-issue. One takes the 'peace' path as long as there is justified hope that it can work, otherwise one goes a notch higher on 'extremism' ladder, every time one learns, that that the concerned level of consideration for harmony is not effective or sufficient to exact a change.

The next question is how does one determine, whether a level of 'harmony' or 'extremism' is insufficient, whether there is justified hope. For that one provides proof and arguments. But such a discussion is hardly serious enough to sustain a philosophical outlook on the lines of 'liberal', 'fanatical', etc. This is no black and white thing. This ought to be be a rational analysis and determination.

There are many in the 'chauvinist' camp who do irrational things, but all in the self-proclaimed 'liberal' camp are in cuckooland. India is by nature a 'harmony' loving nation, and all Indians as a rule are in favor of 'peaceful' means for solving problems. A 'liberal' lobby in India is as such completely useless and superfluous. But to prove otherwise, the self-proclaimed 'liberals' go to excessive lengths of Paki-appeasement, to lengths beyond rational thought or rational justification.

The self-proclaimed 'liberals' in India do not occupy any moral higher-ground, than the aam-aadmi or for that matter even the aam-BRFite, who really consider violence to be an option of last resort.

COAS did his job extremely well. There is no need to release any hint of information that will squarely fall under "Official Secrets Act" or classified information, which would be part of the process in procuring evidence. These secrets and other nuances cannot be cast in front of every Barkah Dutt types; so they can provide succor to enemies by providing such information as live coverage of coordinates of the NSG personnel while defending the Nation. For every sundry questionnaire, the COAS should not be immediately opening his data bank and knowledge that is vital in the interests of nation. Well, it is good that the questionnaire is left in limbo and hope the citizen if he/she needs to change the nature of official secrets, be well advised to work within the framework of constitution to get it changed.

A rhetorical reply is to ask the counter question would be how are we, the people whom your question is aimed at, to be sure that you are not a Pakistani intent on maligning the Indian army that i trust and admire.

I claim that I have proof that the Indian army's action is genuine and would like to see proof from you before I offer an answer - if only to make sure that you are not just another common-or-garden troll who is less interested in a real answer and more interested in rabble rousing and trolling.

This is a serious reply and I hope my request for proof from you is not met with either more trolling on the wrong thread or a deafening silence. Please link your reply on here after posting in an appropriate thread.

This is dumbness beyond repair.

Exactly who is insulting whom? And who is dumb? Could you clarify please.

Who is cheating whom?

I had not seen this reply when I read your question but your question is the classic "You farted" allegation. I presume that you on BR are familiar with the "You farted" game. In case you are not, let me educate you:

The "You farted" game.

The "game" or trick is to get a person on the defensive with an unprovoked accusation. The agenda and tone is set by the accuser and the passive personality goes on the defensive right from the start.

A group of people are sitting together - say 6 or 7 friends in a dorm. Suddenly the foul smell of a fart wafts up.

An accuser personality (call him 'A') picks out a passive personality ('P') and says "Hey P, you farted"

P protests "No I did not"

A: "Yes you did"

P: "Shut up and stop accusing me"

A:"Heh Heh. It's OK. No need to cover your guilt by getting angry. I know you farted. We don't mind - just warn us next time.

What happens in this exchange is that the Accuser 'A' has the initiative all the time. He sets the pace, and he sets the Agenda. He may actually have farted himself, but he gets away giving the impression that "P" is guilty.

In this case, you have intruded on this thread to accuse the Indian army.

Any reply made to your post is a rhetorical victory for you because any reply serves as a successful derailing of the topic of the thread as well as a calling to attention and increasing debate about the primary "You farted" accusation that you made - that is "The India army is guilty of wanton murder". Your topic gets discussed by force because of the exquisite timing and wording you use, backed by a healthy pretence of pompous innocence on your part.

You take the initiative and position yourself in a way by which you are protected from criticism ("Oh I know people are going to sling mud at me") while holding the moral high ground, even as you play victim an claim that YOU are being "cheated" out of an honest debate.

No my dear friend. It does not work that way.

It is you who are trolling. It is still possible to discuss your doubts about the Indian army's murders in an appropriate thread but I put it to you that your intention was never to actually have a debate but to corner people into a rhetorical box by introducing a new topic into an existing discussion and then claiming that YOU are being cheated.

Shush troll. Don't do that. I promise to out-troll you.

If you really have the guts to go beyond "deafening silence" please take your question to the Indian Army thread in the other forum minus the "prophylactic" emotional trash about "knowing that you will be critcized". The minute you say that you are once again setting up rhetorical victory for yourself - because when you are criticised - you can say "See - I told ya!". This is trolling. Not debate.

The thing is he did not do his job well that day, the COAS was in an seminar addressing how the ISI was involved in the attack and the Pakistani military attache placed in the press crowd the ISI agent, asked COAS the proof of ISIs involvement This was not an sundry questioner, this was a pakistani military attache from the embassy. For which the COAS could not give him any proof and backed down and gave him a clean chit, that was embracing.

You turn up in an seminar to show the evidence of ISI involvement and when the ISI asks what evidence then backing down leave anyone wondering whats happening there.

I also trust and admire the IA but that does not mean my emotions cloud my logic. There has to be an barrier of cold logic that seprates emotional respoce which would be counter productive.

The guy who asked the question in the Press conference was not a troll he was an Pakistan military attache. Do you even get that?

Calling me a pakistani because i ask a doubt or a question that needs clarification should not make me a troll. Hate is only fear with an attitude. Just to hate me without any obvious reason does not display any intelligence on your part, only your fears or inability to face a problem without resorting to condemnation or insulting.

Guts to go beyond silence? This is amusing. Where is the threat and who is threatening me, you? What exactly is your threat? Do you want to meet me in person? I guess your in bangalore, i should have meet you years back but i could not make it. May be next time i would make it and anonymity wont make us talk like little kids on you tube, hurling abuses. I suppose face to face there would be more understanding.

This is all your assumptions of me, anyone who knows me in person would not say that i am interested in cornering anyone, if for instance we are talking over dinner and someone brings up the the recent attacks on LOC and the ISI connection and i want to clarify what happened in the COAS meeting or question the authenticity of some of these encounters am i going to get kicked out of the dinning table? or would people argue sensibly and learn something over that conversation. Why is that not happening online? In an real life discussion we would be more patient to other peoples POV and discuss rather than just accuse him for asking a question.

I dont want to be accused of being a pakstani, you rather abuse me with bad words.

In that Press Conference, the "Pakistani Military Attache" was a troll, and the COAS treated him that way, without dignifying a troll with a response.

Here you are the one acting like a troll, so don't expect others to treat you differently!

You are cornering the discussion on this thread with your off topic accusation (about the Indian army) and by playing victim. Please take your question about the Indian army to an appropriate thread. You have the opportunity to have a fair debate on your accusation and I repeat that it is not your intention to actually debate the topic. You can prove me wrong on that count.

Karthik,
what you don't understand is that there is no rational way to discuss Pakistan's problems with them.

Now you have seen the propaganda going on in the Pakistani Media, that Baitullah Mehsud is an Indian agent. There is zero proof of this, but when have Pakistanis ever been discouraged from fabricating lies if it suits their ends.

The problem is you want to go on the defensive and let others (the Pakistanis) set the terms of the discussion with their accusations. Your arguments don't count, if it doesn't support that what Pakistanis want to hear.

At the least you are being naive, and at the most you're a Pakistani yourself, reading what you have written.

The problem with in our armies attitude has hurt us more than any of the enemies bullets or bombs, "lately".

There is no way Pakistan can defeat us in combat but that said we should not be oblivious to the gun powder next to our cigarette. Thats all i am saying, its so hard to contain the emotions of Indians before making them see the point. We are not perfect and never will be, so lets not pretend that our army is 100% perfect, the enemy has already changed the strategy to blaming us for our faults, his new weapon is blame, its no more about how many tanks or terrorist they have crossing the border, its all about how many irresponsible soldiers we have on our side, helping them pour fuel to the fire burning on our side.

Again, this is not a new weapon. I very well remember the Pakistani protests about human rights violations in Kashmir from the 90s ably backed by the Western press and human rights industry. All this is par for the course. We have to understand that some such incidents where the blame is with us are unavoidable when dealing with a war-like situation. However that should not blind us to the justness of our cause.

The one thing I'd fault our side for is in not playing the propaganda game. I mean, what is the need for Gen. Kapoor to address the press unless it is from his forward HQ in Karachi? What is the Information&B ministry doing and where is our propaganda division that employs the best social scientists we can produce?

Ramanaji, agree with you there is definitely problem with the style. But am not sure about the intent behind the postings. For example, the above post done in other thread, needs to be parsed. Is it sarcasm? Not sure what was the need to make commentary in a reference list thread, when BENIS thread is widely available?

if a person was serious enough about the issue he/she would have first done some basic reading before jumping to conclusions and hurling allegations at the army.

the alleged encounter killing in manipur is by the manipur police commandos, how is the IA responsible for that ?

Well, the credibility of the link can stand onlee if the conversations that occured here, gets uploaded as is on the facebook account.

I realized it. And as Ramana ji said, let it be. There is a problem in phrasing, but the core is that we do tend to neglect that little 5%. PR part. ISRO does a fab job, and messes up on the PR. Our exceptions get expolited as a rule and popularized as such. We'll get better on that front too pretty soon. Presently its so easy to pay anyone 5000 Rs and say to pretend marrying a dog or snake. And when that happens get a photograper and sell the story in the West Yes also i realize that the facebook link can be easily proved genuine or otherwise. ..Just ask him to change to post a pic decided here instead of the one sitting melancholically waiting for the train..

Anways back to the topic, how do we convince others that a split Pakistan is best for them too! Makes thing easier for us if they are on baord too.

Folks, stop accusing people of being pakis.
I was called a paki on my first day of this forum and it has left a deep scar on my psyche and I have lost all self confidence... I cannot even look into the mirror without hearing the word "paki" reverberate in the atmosphere..

Seriously, enough with the accusations. Karthik, what RajeshA did is not an offense that gets a warning according to our rule book, but I could have permanently banned you right away for that colorful response of yours. I am only giving out a warning. Learn to manage your temper or soon you will not be posting here anymore.
EDIT: oops, looks like another predator hit your cave.

Goodbye and have fun!

thread cleaned up.

karthik, I'm being extremely lenient and not serving a permanent ban this time.
cool down and come back in a month's time if you want to.

as for the confusion regarding your identity, I don't doubt that you're an Indian. most of my fellow members are having a hard time digesting the fact because they associate Indians with a minimum level of intelligence and understanding of Indian affairs. I'm however under no such illusions, hence ready to believe your country of origin.
Rahul.

karthik,

if you're Indian, I am sorry for having caused you any hurt! My apologies!

You must however know, that this hurt is nothing compared to the hurt to the families of all those jawans of India's security forces who have fallen to terrorist infiltrators from Pakistan, a fact you seem to be 'suspicious of'.

Over and Out!

Have to disagree with the heading of this thread. If TSP ever became a stable and prosperous country it would definately be a good thing. Because any stable and prosperous countrly would want to maintain a peace. Just look at Turkey and Greece. They hate each other, but have learned to live with each other. Their prosperity works as a wested interest.

But the wast people are not going to get educated, prosperous overnight. And as we know, any prosperity in TSP will be snached by the TSP army and used against India. Sad to say it, Indias best bet is to work against the TSP economy.

Karthik:
I honestly hope that there are liquidation squads in IA, IB and RAW that "take care" of people who are woking against Indian Interests. Be it on the border, inside TSP, India or any other country. If anything, I wish such groups were more active.
Have you ever heard of Human rights in TSP? Was the Mumbai attack in accordance to Human rights? Do you think SIMI would care a damn about human rights? Have you ever heard of Deoband complaining about human rights for non muslims in Saudi Arabia?
Human rights should be reserved for those who behave like HUMANS.

Maybe you need to approach this from another direction.

What would it take for Pakistan to become a stable and prosperous country?

Well I am glad to note that there is at least one person who knows the difference between one gun toting man and another. If a person cannot differentiate between the chain of command, leadership, discipline and ethos of a police unit and the army, I wonder if that person would be able to differentiate between an Indian army Jawan and an LeT operative.

TSP or any other Middle east inspired Islamic nation will never become stability because of the cultural/religious bias against accepting others right to think differently. Accepting the rule of majority as well as focus on wealth creation, rather then wasting the lifte to enter jannath.

Without the oil, middle east would be on the same level as Sudan or Rawanda.
