Army's rigorous training also includes forest warfare and unconventional warfare of the type Naxalites do. If army would have any shortage of personnel (which it doesn't), then combined army-CRPF op is always a viable and effective option.

We just have difference of opinion.

I am not undermining CRPF. I am as much aware and proud of CRPF's achievements and capabilities and as much grateful to them for protecting us as you are. But I do believe that army is better suited to counter the Naxalite problem compared to CRPF because Maoist insurgency is not just some small...

Army is many times called to maintain law and order in troubled regions. I think Naxalite problem is one of the most serious in the country. Army is better equipped and trained to deal with their guerrilla warfare. CRPF is a law and order force which is not equipped enough to take such cases. It...

Must be some unique course.

Your own news site ET says that. So if Pak media trolls, I can't do anything about it.

You people use the word "Kashmiri" as though you are talking about all of Kashmir. Kashmiri Hindus are pure Kashmiris who consider themselves Indian. Kashmiri Muslim separatists have done the same crimes against Hindus which they claim Indian army is doing against them but they conveniently...

Oh bygone days....looks like its all that's left to remember for Pak folks. Now the same America has reduced Pak to its stooge and made it completely dependent on its aid. I don't mean to ridicule Pakistan but Pakistan should do something about the situation, stand on its feet and make the...

Over 90 million are without improved sanitation in Pak. 40 million people – nearly one fourth of the total population – in Pakistan practice open defecation. You people face the same problems in Pak or is it because the numbers are less than India, you don't recognize this problem at all? After...

Well many people are here saying that RAW picked him up in BD but police claimed he was arrested in Rajasthan. This is because it cannot be accepted that he was grabbed in BD as it will affect relations with BD. No country accepts that they sometimes pick their enemies from foreign countries...

I really don't understand why the govt doesn't use army against maoist naxalite terrorists. Yes they are terrorists. This is the path they have chosen and they must be treated like any other terrorist. They have proven from time to time that they don't want peace. They claim to be fighting for...

My dear neighbor, just because you Pakistanis think that everything Indian is bad doesn't make it bad. AIIMS and Apollo are among global leaders in medical research and technology which are recognized all over the world.

I am well informed, my friend. Indian police is highly under-equipped due to corruption in spending of money. I am not saying modernization is not happening but its taking place at much slower pace than would have happened if govt money was utilized efficiently. Get your facts right before...

I just shared what I learnt from my cousin, an army Major. What I know as a fact is that Indian army height requirement for males is only 5'4'' for all combat roles. The US Marines height requirement is only 5'2" for males, IIRC, 5'1" for the US Army. Flight units and paratroops actually have...

Terrorism? You got terrorized by it? We just picked a rival agent dude. No East Bengali was hurt or killed.

Its very much excellent compared to the fact that some of our neighbors do not have the facility at all. Also, cultural and linguistic similarities make them feel comfortable.

They look more like dakoos of Chambal. Whatever govt spends on police modernization is gobbled up by corrupt officials.

It really is funny how foreign media keeps quoting these people when even Indians don't listen to them. Surprisingly they never quote the secular voices of India which have the support of majority of Indians.

Now when did we talk about mountain warfare?. Any soldier will carry different amount of equipment depending on the nature of op. But for same op, two soldiers carry equal weight. For example, if two soldiers go on a op on similar roles (let's say as forest or mountain warfare), they will carry...

Any authentic source which says Gurkhas carry less weight than other regiments? That would mean especially creating equipment with less weight for Gurkhas or they will have to carry less ammunition and equipment, which the army will not do as that will make them weaker and more vulnerable. All...
