I have been to the LoC - in fact at the BhimberGali brigade HQ area (where I stayed for a couple of days) in Rajauri district near Mendhar town ( a supposed hot bed of...

Also read up on Afghan Indian relations. Remember Indians, Pakistanis and Afghans are from the same racial stock Islam or Hinduism is irrelevant.
Afghans love Indian film music and movies.

lol al-zakir - you really need to read up on history and the Babri masjid dispute.
You see that piece of land is holy to Hindus, but there is no justification for mosque destruction. Maybe a better solution could have been found.
Pakistan Nationalist - before refuting some one's argument at least take the pain of researching his assertions seriously.

@blain - wrong to equate East Pakistan with Kashmir.
Reasons -
1. IA never killed, maimed and raped to the extent Pak did in East Pakistan and this is a fact - take it or leave it. The level of atrocities is not even close.
2. There was no religious connotation in security forces' action in...
Remember that the Afghan security forces were able to repel the attack by Taliban terrorist gunmen inside Kabul recently.
This is something Indian and Pakistani forces have not been very successful in doing in the past.

IA definitely believes in God Sam - but mind you this means all gods and all saints!
I visited Bhimbar Galli in Rajauri district on the LoC and found a Sufi shrine maintained excellently by the Army there. Tanot mandir is maintained by the BSF and they have done a first class job. IA leads India...
cheers Sam! btw are those Ferozpure tanks from 1965 ? And which make (Patton?) There is a surrendered Pak Patton tank at Battle honours mess Chanakyapuri as well.
Sam_Bajwa - hmm.. 1 thing I noticed was the tank did not have it's gun pointed downwards. Perhaps this is because it was destroyed (notice the missing track on the right side of the tank).
On Preservation - I guess a daylight shot could make this clear. The area was completely dark and I had...
Visited Longewala and Tanot from Jaisalmer recently. Amazing places in the middle of the Thar desert. Historical too as both were scenes of desperate battles in 1971 and 1965 respectively.

I agree that the IPL snub was wrong - maybe the cricketers should not have been in the auction in the first place if they were a "security risk".

dabong1 - why would Pak launch a surgical strike on India ? Is Pak public opinion inflamed against something that India has done in Pak ? Does Taliban have training camps in India or do Taliban leaders roam about in India ?
Someone here mentioned the downed Migs - the reason for this was that...
