Indian Aggression
Indian Aggression | Reformistan
Pakistani Perspective:
The conventional wisdom in India is that Pakistan is the aggressor in South Asia. Pakistan hardly has a perfect record but Indians should not throw stones before reviewing their own history. Even if Indo-Pakistan relationship is set aside for a moment as one of peculiar nature and even if Pakistan is presumed to be responsible for all the wicked behaviour, the question arises why do other countries of the region find it so difficult to forge a closer relationship with India? Why is it that India has failed to evoke trust and confidence among its neighbours to make any worthwhile collaboration impossible, including Saarc? Isnt it time for hostilities to give way to a congenial environment among South Asian neighbours too?
LIST COMPILED BY REFORMISTANI
Pre-partition Hostility

* India withheld 297 trainloads of supplies allocated to Pakistan. (3 trainloads were sent with scrap).
* Krishna Menon wrote a private letter to Mountbatten on 14 June 1947 warning him with dire consequences for the future of Anglo-Indian relations, if the State of Jammu and Kashmir were permitted to go to Pakistan
Land Grabbing & Invasions

* India invaded and absorbed Goa 4,000 Portugese security with a force of 30,000 on the basis of a foreign presence on republic of Indias land. Portugal broke relations with India.
* India annexed Sikkim by formenting a coup against the Buddhist king manipulating the grievances of his subjects. The prime minister that supported India was labelled a traitor by his own people. 5000 Indian soldiers stormed a force of 243. 1 nineteen year old palace guard was killed. Sikkim the tiny country was no more
* India maintains contested boundary sections with Nepal including 400 sq. km over the Kalapani River.
* India continues to stall negotiations on disputed territory in Sir Creek with Pakistan
* India invaded Siachen Glacier
* India swallowed Muslim-populated Minicoy Islands (forgotten by the British) without any negotiation with the other dominion (pakistan) nor the Maldives who also lay claim to the island.
* Indian encroached on Nepali lands and committed atrocities along the border villages of western district of Dang. These actions resulted in the displacement of more than 6000 people from their homes. Cases of rape and disappearance have been reported.
* From Jhapa in the east all the way to Darchula in the west (where the Indian military has even set up a permanent base), the pattern of border encroachment is repeated, with forceful displacement, shifting of border markers and appropriation of territory.
* India has already appropriated some 59,970 hectares of Nepali territory at 54 points in 21 districts.
Indian Fascism
* India banned the book on the partition by Jaswanth Singh
* India arrested the PRIME MINISTER ABDULLAH of Kashmir in 1953 when he did not tow the Indian line.
* India rejected UN proposals to keep 16000 troops until plebiscite is held.
* India banned an Indian book on Sikkim called: Smash and Grab (Annexation of Sikkim by India) by author Sunanda Datta Ray
* India has banned Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International from Kashmir over 20 years. Recently to AI personnel were allowed into Kashmir. They are Indians! Their first course of action was to call Kashmir an integral part of India (a fact disputed by almost all countries in the world except India).
* Indian Armed Forces are allowed to arrest non-violent protesters and are slapping them 2 years imprisonment under PSA laws
* Kashmir WAS under direct Presidents rule in the 1990s, after the state legislature was dissolved (the federally appointed governor had admitted that the Kashmiri legislature had a history of rigged elections).
* India also regularly refuses visas for international rights advocates. In 2003, India denied a visa to the head of Amnesty International, Irene Khan
* A delegation from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a congressionally mandated body, was denied Indian visas.
* The Indian security forces have flouted all norms of civilized conduct. Kashmiri youths have been murdered in cold blood in fake encounters and Kashmiri women of all ages were and are gang-raped in the prescence of their families. International human rights organizations and the international press has been refused entry into the State by the Indian government.
* Even this horrifying imbalance of 1 soldier for every 6 Kashmiris (majority of whom are old men, women and children) has failed to suppress the freedom movement.
* Huge chunks of the region come under draconian laws like the Armed Forces Special Protection Act or the Disturbed Areas Act, which have been in place in Manipur, Nagaland and many parts of Assam, thereby covering a significant geographical chunk of Northeast India for more than two decades. These Acts essentially give the security forces a free hand in doing what they please as long as its under the guise of fighting terror
* laws was that of the custodial death of Thangjam Manorama in Manipur, where the AFSPA had been enforced for over 25 years. Witnesses say Manorama was picked up on July 11th 2004 by soldiers of the paramilitary Assam Rifles from her home on alleged charges of links with separatist rebels. The next day, her dead body was reportedly found four kilometres away from her home in the state capital Imphal, with multiple bullet wounds and signs of torture. The entire state came to a standstill under the backlash of huge protests following the brutal and tragic death.
* India did not outlaw hindu practice of forced temple prostitution until 1988.
* Though the Indian constitution guarantees freedom of speech, political parties are not allowed to speak about freedom from Indian rule. Any party, group or individual who speak in support of freedom from India is not allowed to contest elections. This law was enacted by the Indian parliament (which is dominated by Hindi politicians) soon after electoral gains made in Tamil Nadu by a political party seeking independence from India. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagams (DMKs) dramatic success of winning 50 state legislature seats in the 1962 general election on the platform of independence from India scared Hindi politicians. The then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru quickly passed a law banning any party or individual voicing secession from India (that is, independence from India) from contesting in elections. Immediately, the DMK dropped its independence demand.
India foreign Intervention, sabotage & terrorism
* Sometime in the run-up to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi by Nathuram Godse, the UP police made a sensational discovery. A house used by RSS supremo Guruji Golwalkar had been raided and two locked trunks recovered. When B.B.L. Jaitley, the inspector general of police, opened the trunks, what he found shook him to the core. There before him lay a detailed district-by-district, qasbah-by-qasbah blueprint for the physical elimination of the provinces Muslims. The documents revealed incontrovertible evidence of a dastardly conspiracy to create a communal holocaust . The trunks were crammed with blueprints of great accuracy prominently marking out the Muslim localities . Timely raids conducted on the premises of the RSS had brought the massive conspiracy to light, recalled Dayal in his autobiography,A Life of Our Times
* RAW has responded to Pakistani arms and training for Muslim militants in the disputed region of Kashmir state. RAW allegedly executed a hijacking of an Indian Airliner to Lahore in 1971 which was attributed to the Kashmiris, to give a terrorist dimension to the Kashmiri national movement. However soon the extent of RAWs involvement was made public.
* RAW has a long history of activity in Bangladesh, supporting both secular forces and the areas Hindu minority. The involvement of RAW in East Pakistan is said to date from the 1960s, when RAW promoted dissatisfaction against Pakistan in East Pakistan, including funding Mujibur Rahmanhs general election in 1970 and providing training and arming the Mukti Bahini.
* In Nepal, India backed a feudal aristocracy for four decades, reinstating the monarchy by force after repeated popular revolts. It trained the Nepalese military, and orchestrated political marriages between Nepalese aristocrats and wealthy Indian families.
* India has supported Baluchistan liberation army and related terror outfits.
* India sent their military to sri lanka and massacred both the Sinhalese and the Tamils in Velvettiturai and Trincomalee
* India supported the Northern Alliance against the Pashtuns majority but blames Pakistan for interference
* India financed anti-Pakistan Northern Alliance. NA is responsible for many massacres in Kabul.
* India imposed an economic blockade on land-locked Nepal in 1989
* India overtly and covertly supported the insurgency against the state by LTTE, a nationalist Tamil group in the northern Jaffna region of this small island country of Sri Lanka, which kept it politically and economically destabilised for decades
* In 1971, Elements of the Indian Army looted Bangladesh while the high command benefited from the loot.
* India supported Shanti Bahini insurgency in the Chittagong Hill Tracts according to Bangladesh
* Ignoring and reputing Sri Lankas sovereign and independent status, and violating all limits of shamelessness, M K Narayanan, Indias National Security Advisor, on May 13, 2007, thundered out like a so-called superpower declaring, We are the big power in this region. Let us make it very clear. We strongly believe that whatever requirements the Sri Lankan government has, they should come to us. And we will give them what we think is necessary. We do not favour their going to China or Pakistan or any other country
* Indian conducted military regime-change operations in the Maldives
* In Sri Lanka, India funded SWRD, trained Tamil terrorists in Palestine camps and in Tamil Nadu, brougt CBK back and funded her, resurrected JVP with funds then SF.
* During the course of its investigation the Jain Commission received testimony on the official Indian support to the various Sri Lankan Tamil armed groups in Tamil Nadu. From 1981, RAW and the Intelligence Bureau established a network of as many as 30 training bases for these groups in India. Centers were also established at the high-security military installation of Chakrata, near Dehra Dun, and in the Ramakrishna Puram area of New Delhi. This clandestine support to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), some of whom were on the payroll of RAW, was later suspended. Starting in late 1986 the Research and Analysis Wing focused surveillance on the LTTE which was expanding ties with Tamil Nadu separatist groups.
* The RAW and the Ministry of External Affairs are provided Rs 25 crore annually as discretionary grants for foreign influence operations. These funds have supported organisations fighting Sikh and Kashmiri separatists in the UK, Canada and the US. An extensive network of Indian operatives is controlled by the Indian Embassy in Washington DC. The Indian embassys covert activities are reported to include the infitration of US long distance telephone carriers by Indian operatives, with access to all kinds of information, to r blackmail relatives of US residents living in India. In 1996 an Indian diplomat was implicated in a scandal over illegal funding of political candidates in the US. Under US law foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to federal elections. The US District Court in Baltimore sentenced Lalit H Gadhia, a naturalised US citizen of Indian origin, to three months imprisonment. Gadhia had confessed that he worked as a conduit between the Indian Embassy and various Indian-American organisations for funnelling campaign contributions to influence US lawmakers. Over $46,000 from the Indian Embassy was distributed among 20 Congressional candidates. The source of the cash used by Gadhia was Devendra Singh, a RAW official assigned to the Indian Embassy in Washington. Illicit campaign money received in 1995 went to Democratic candidates including Sens. Charles S. Robb (D-Va.), Paul S. Sarbanes (D -Md.) and Reps. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) and Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.)
* RAW began its activities much earlier in what was then East Pakistan. The short-sightedness and neglect of Bengali sensitivities by successive Pakistani governments since independence provided the perfect milieu for RAW to lay the seeds for wrecking Pakistan from within.
* The Indians played upon Bengali sentiments in the aftermath of the 1965 Pakistan-India war through RAW so that when opportunity struck the Indians were well-prepared. It was RAW that gradually converted Sheikh Mujibur Rehman from being a staunch supporter of Pakistan as a student leader to envisaging himself as the possible Father of a new nation Bangladesh. Indian sources, including journalists, have put on record how much before 1971 RAW had established the network of a separatist movement through cells within East Pakistan and military training camps in Indian territory adjoining East Pakistan. The Mukti Bahini were all in place organisationally to take advantage of the political trouble in 1971 and carry out acts of sabotage against communication lines so that Indian forces simply marched in at the right time. RAW agents provided valuable information as well as acting as an advance guard for conducting unconventional guerrilla acts against the Pakistani defence forces. A Bengali, who was a Mukti Bahini activist, Zainal Abedin, has written a revealing book which includes his personal experience in Indian training camps, entitled RAW and Bangladesh. It was the post-fall of Dhaka period which exposed the Indians true intentions and made Abedin realise that It was evident from the conduct of the Indian Army that they treated Bangladesh as a colony It is now evident that India had helped the creation of Bangladesh with the aim that it would be a step forward towards the reunification of India.Because Mujib returned, Indian forces could not remain in Bangladesh permanently and so it fell on RAW to initiate other fronts to undermine the sovereignty of Bangladesh. RAW has since been seeking to create I Indian dominance culturally, ideologically and economically in Bangladesh. In addition, RAW has also created another insurgency force: The Shanti Bahini (Fighters for Peace). This force comprises the Chittagong Hill Tracts Hindu and Buddhists tribesmen (the Chakmas) and the intention is to bleed the Bengali military and keep the border area tense. The Chakmas used to embarrass the Bangladesh government especially when the latter protested over Indian policy on the sharing of waters issue
Inheriting an "undivided" India conquered by the Mughals and consolidated by the British into an administrative unit called "British India", the Indians maintained an aggressive stance in the 50s as seen by this poster. This sense of self manifested itself in the provocative forward policy which resulted in a catastrophic defensive defeat at the hands of the Chinese.
Indian Provocations
* India started the nuclear arms race in South Asia in 1974 called peaceful.
* During the spring of 1979, when Washington made unsuccessful attempts to frame a regional solution involving mutual restraint by India and Pakistan of their nuclear activities, Indian prime minister Morarji Desai declared that if he discovered that Pakistan was ready to test a bomb or if it exploded one, he would act at (once) to smash it
* The Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Mr. Sood, interfered in the choice of Nepals Commander-in-Chief. By doing so, he has made it clear that Nepalese right to choose their government remains a right as long as their choice does not contradict with Indias vested interest in Nepal
* India started the nuclear provocation by testing nuclear weapons on Pakistans border in 1998 leaving Pakistan no options to demonstrate her nuclear deterrents.
* India border forces have killed hundreds of Bangladeshi border guards.
* India continues to fence the disputed borders with Bangladesh regardless of the Bangladeshi protests.
* India continues to support the Dalai Lama & Tibet Separatists to instigate the Chinese
* Indians government warned: If the Chinese will not vacate the areas occupied by her, India will have to repeat what she did in Goa. She will certainly drive out the Chinese forces. India initiated the Forward Policy setting up checkpoints north of the McMahon line.
* Bangladesh often finds itself on the receiving end of Indian development projects utilizing the numerous rivers that flow through the country apart from the constructing of Indian fences along the Bangladeshi border to placate Indian xenophobia resulting in ruined commerce interactions and livelihood for villagers on either side of the border.
* Up to the mid-seventies the Sri Lankan government had kept India happy by following policies which followed the Indian line domestically and externally. The trouble began in 1977 when the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) lost power to the Jayewardene-led United National Party in elections. He moved towards a more cooperative policy with the United States and Sri Lanka chose to oppose the Indian demand for the withdrawal of all foreign naval forces from the Indian Ocean. Mrs. Gandhi had already been irked by Sri Lankas support to Pakistan during the 1971 war when it allowed landing and fuelling facilities to Pakistans East-West commercial flights. So RAW saw a perfect opportunity to exploit within the prevailing dispute between the Sinhalese majority (74 percent) and Tamil minority (14 percent) over distribution of economic and social spoils of independence. Before the two sides could work out a compromise, India, through its RAW, managed to polarise the two sides as well as militarise this essentially political conflict. On the Mukti Bahini model, RAW built up terrorist training camps in India for a number of Tamil terrorist organisations, while India suddenly began orchestrating a public campaign feigning concern because of the links the Tamils had with the 50 million Indian Tamils of Tamil Nadu state which was separated from Sri Lanka by the Palk Straits. It was only a matter of time before the militants trained in India began sidelining the moderate Tamils and instead demanding complete independence Ealam. Ironically, the presence of Tamil training camps in Tamil Nadu often created a law and order situation when large arms were captured by the state police. The surprise for the state government came when New Delhi ordered that such captured material be returned.According to Rohan Gunaratna, in his book Indian Intervention in Sri Lanka, RAW waged a secret war in India beginning 1983 so that when the Sri Lankan armed forces launched a major offensive against the Tamil militancy in 1987, the Indian government had already ensured that the Tamils were well supplied and were able to conduct terrorist acts that brought the war closer to Colombo. Tamil Nadu had become the sanctuary for the Tamil terrorists in their hit-and-run tactics. Already, a year prior to this offensive, that is by 1986, there were over 20,000 Indian trained and financed Tamils and India forced Sri Lanka through this militant pressure to alter its foreign policy. But even more crucial, India by now was systematically destabilising Sri Lanka. Being unable to resist the temptation to now intervene directly, India used the Sri Lankan offensive against the Tamil terrorists to force Sri Lanka to accept Indias armed intervention ostensibly to save innocent Tamil civilians. Unfortunately for India, the controversial Indo-Sri Lankan Accord of July 1987 proved to be as much of a failure as Indias policy of direct intervention. The result was Indias massively assisted LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) turned on its benefactor and declared war against the Indian forces in Sri Lanka. All in all, this Indian adventure killed 60,000 men, women and children and forced the Indians to withdraw their forces without successfully completing their mission. The price has been steep for both India and Sri Lanka and even today Sri Lanka is paying the price for this Indian-initiated and RAW inspired polarised conflict. The extent of RAWs role in this affair has been painstakingly documented by Gunaratna in his book on the Indian intervention.Before the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan altered the dynamics of the whole Pakistan-Afghanistan relationship, RAW sought to nurture the Pakhtunistan issue clandestinely even as the Indian government sought to overtly cosy up to certain members of the political elite in the NWFP.When RAW saw an opportunity in Balochistan in the form of Baloch discontentment especially in the face of ZA Bhuttos dismissal of the elected government of that province it moved in fast to play up the issue of Punjabi dominance. While the Baloch insurgency may have had indigenous roots, it was nurtured and sustained with external aid and assistance and RAWs trademark was clearly evident through the Afghan route.
Other
* India continues to stall resolutions with Bangladesh over river boundaries, hundres of enclaves. *This changed recently.
* India forced China into war due its inflexibility with border territories unjustifiably inherited from the British Raj and Indias provocative forward policy.
* Indian governments have refused to sign nuclear testing and nonproliferation agreements accelerating a nuclear arms race in South Asia. (Indias second nuclear tests in 1998 on Pakistans border led to Pakistans decision to detonate its own nuclear weapons.)
* India supported the illegal, immoral and brutal Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Unlike the rest of South Asia, India did not boycott Moscow Olympics along with other democracies of the world.
Indian Pogroms & Terror
* India rampaged through the sacred sikh golden temple, killed sikh leaders and humiliated its followers.
* India used artillery against its own Sikh people in the residential neighborhoods of Amristar
* Indian police and para-military stood by idly as 3000+ Sikhs were murdered during the Sikh Riots sponsored by the govt..
* India government stood by idly as the destruction of Babri Masjid took place
* Indian state government of Gujrat headed by Modi committed a state-sponsored pogrom in gujrat killing 2000+ Muslims and displacing 100,000.
* India has slaughtered 70,000-130,000 civilians in Kashmir
* Indian forces have raped 9900 women in Kashmir
* India maintains an army 0f 700,000 soldiers in Kashmir (50% of its total army and greater than the entire Army of neighboring Pakistan) against the civilian population of that small state which numbers less than 4 million people.
* India massacred peaceful Kashmiri protests in Gowkadal, Maisuma and Bijbehara
* human rights organization like Amnesty International and Asia Watch constantly report of indescribably inhumane treatment meted out to Kashmiris in government run torture cells and elsewhere
* The Armed Forces (J&K) Special Powers Bill (1990), which have been passed by the parliament of worlds largest democracy. This Bill grants authorization to members of Indian Security Forces to fire upon or otherwise use force, even to the causing of death against any person without fire orders. 100,000+ people have been brutally murdered by the Indian Security Forces in the past 20 years and thousands more have been intimidated and terrorized
* According to a recent report by the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) up to 50 million girls and women are missing from India s population as a result of systematic gender discrimination in India. Most victims are of grisly INFANTICIDE not ABORTION.
Post 1971
* After 1971 war, the world chose Pakistan for Security Council instead of India due to Indias aggresssion:
o Pakistan triumphed over India in the 1976 elections to the Security Council, Indias then permanent representative, Rikki Jaipal, confided ruefully that he had received written commitments from well over a two-third majority of the General Assembly membership required for election. But Indias policies of the time its 1971 military intervention to dismember Pakistan, absorption of Sikkim and the 1974 peaceful nuclear explosion had created disenchantment within the international community and played in Pakistans favour in the election. Indeed, these considerations were factored into the calculation that led prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to decide to challenge Indias bid for the Security Council seat that year.
* Pakistan and Bangladesh became friends in 1974. Bangladesh terminated its treaty of friendship wtih India.
China
* Indian claim on northern territory of mongloid populations was based on serious distortions of 19th century British-Chinese documents, I was amazed by the seeming vehemence of New Delhis very weak claim to the territory. (Distribution of Lambs book was banned in India at the time.)

READERS ARE CHALLENGED AND ENCOURAGED TO PROVE THE ITEMS ABOVE AS FALSE.
I believe in peace between India and Pakistan. I believe the subcontinent could prosper if India and Pakistan show even the smallest bit of vision and maturity. However, I also think the propaganda or perception against Pakistan by some Indian especially on the net should be countered. Pakistan has enough troubles for others to sling deceitful untruths at the country. Every article in every newspaper about Pakistan is commented upon by Indian posters in a negative manner.
The purpose of these posts is not to insult anyone but to educated Indian and neutral observers that not all of Pakistan is bad and not all of India is good. The truth is always somewhere in the middle. There are many negative things about Pakistan that are absolutely true. There are many negative perceptions propagated by Indians that are patently false. Reformistani believes we are all part of the human family and truth is the ultimate liberator.

From 1981, RAW and the Intelligence Bureau established a network of as many as 30 training bases for these groups in India. Centers were also established at the high-security military installation of Chakrata, near Dehra Dun, and in the Ramakrishna Puram area of New Delhi. This clandestine support to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), some of whom were on the payroll of RAW, was later suspended. Starting in late 1986 the Research and Analysis Wing focused surveillance on the LTTE which was expanding ties with Tamil Nadu separatist groups.
* The RAW and the Ministry of External Affairs are provided Rs 25 crore annually as discretionary grants for foreign influence operations. These funds have supported organisations fighting Sikh and Kashmiri separatists in the UK, Canada and the US. An extensive network of Indian operatives is controlled by the Indian Embassy in Washington DC. The Indian embassys covert activities are reported to include the infitration of US long distance telephone carriers by Indian operatives, with access to all kinds of information, to r blackmail relatives of US residents living in India. In 1996 an Indian diplomat was implicated in a scandal over illegal funding of political candidates in the US. Under US law foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to federal elections. The US District Court in Baltimore sentenced Lalit H Gadhia, a naturalised US citizen of Indian origin, to three months imprisonment. Gadhia had confessed that he worked as a conduit between the Indian Embassy and various Indian-American organisations for funnelling campaign contributions to influence US lawmakers. Over $46,000 from the Indian Embassy was distributed among 20 Congressional candidates. The source of the cash used by Gadhia was Devendra Singh, a RAW official assigned to the Indian Embassy in Washington. Illicit campaign money received in 1995 went to Democratic candidates including Sens. Charles S. Robb (D-Va.), Paul S. Sarbanes (D -Md.) and Reps. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) and Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.)
* RAW began its activities much earlier in what was then East Pakistan. The short-sightedness and neglect of Bengali sensitivities by successive Pakistani governments since independence provided the perfect milieu for RAW to lay the seeds for wrecking Pakistan from within.
* The Indians played upon Bengali sentiments in the aftermath of the 1965 Pakistan-India war through RAW so that when opportunity struck the Indians were well-prepared. It was RAW that gradually converted Sheikh Mujibur Rehman from being a staunch supporter of Pakistan as a student leader to envisaging himself as the possible Father of a new nation Bangladesh. Indian sources, including journalists, have put on record how much before 1971 RAW had established the network of a separatist movement through cells within East Pakistan and military training camps in Indian territory adjoining East Pakistan. The Mukti Bahini were all in place organisationally to take advantage of the political trouble in 1971 and carry out acts of sabotage against communication lines so that Indian forces simply marched in at the right time. RAW agents provided valuable information as well as acting as an advance guard for conducting unconventional guerrilla acts against the Pakistani defence forces. A Bengali, who was a Mukti Bahini activist, Zainal Abedin, has written a revealing book which includes his personal experience in Indian training camps, entitled RAW and Bangladesh. It was the post-fall of Dhaka period which exposed the Indians true intentions and made Abedin realise that It was evident from the conduct of the Indian Army that they treated Bangladesh as a colony It is now evident that India had helped the creation of Bangladesh with the aim that it would be a step forward towards the reunification of India.Because Mujib returned, Indian forces could not remain in Bangladesh permanently and so it fell on RAW to initiate other fronts to undermine the sovereignty of Bangladesh. RAW has since been seeking to create I Indian dominance culturally, ideologically and economically in Bangladesh. In addition, RAW has also created another insurgency force: The Shanti Bahini (Fighters for Peace). This force comprises the Chittagong Hill Tracts Hindu and Buddhists tribesmen (the Chakmas) and the intention is to bleed the Bengali military and keep the border area tense. The Chakmas used to embarrass the Bangladesh government especially when the latter protested over Indian policy on the sharing of waters issue
Inheriting an "undivided" India conquered by the Mughals and consolidated by the British into an administrative unit called "British India", the Indians maintained an aggressive stance in the 50s as seen by this poster. This sense of self manifested itself in the provocative forward policy which resulted in a catastrophic defensive defeat at the hands of the Chinese.
Indian Provocations
* India started the nuclear arms race in South Asia in 1974 called peaceful.
* During the spring of 1979, when Washington made unsuccessful attempts to frame a regional solution involving mutual restraint by India and Pakistan of their nuclear activities, Indian prime minister Morarji Desai declared that if he discovered that Pakistan was ready to test a bomb or if it exploded one, he would act at (once) to smash it
* The Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Mr. Sood, interfered in the choice of Nepals Commander-in-Chief. By doing so, he has made it clear that Nepalese right to choose their government remains a right as long as their choice does not contradict with Indias vested interest in Nepal
* India started the nuclear provocation by testing nuclear weapons on Pakistans border in 1998 leaving Pakistan no options to demonstrate her nuclear deterrents.
* India border forces have killed hundreds of Bangladeshi border guards.
* India continues to fence the disputed borders with Bangladesh regardless of the Bangladeshi protests.
* India continues to support the Dalai Lama & Tibet Separatists to instigate the Chinese
* Indians government warned: If the Chinese will not vacate the areas occupied by her, India will have to repeat what she did in Goa. She will certainly drive out the Chinese forces. India initiated the Forward Policy setting up checkpoints north of the McMahon line.
* Bangladesh often finds itself on the receiving end of Indian development projects utilizing the numerous rivers that flow through the country apart from the constructing of Indian fences along the Bangladeshi border to placate Indian xenophobia resulting in ruined commerce interactions and livelihood for villagers on either side of the border.
* Up to the mid-seventies the Sri Lankan government had kept India happy by following policies which followed the Indian line domestically and externally. The trouble began in 1977 when the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) lost power to the Jayewardene-led United National Party in elections. He moved towards a more cooperative policy with the United States and Sri Lanka chose to oppose the Indian demand for the withdrawal of all foreign naval forces from the Indian Ocean. Mrs. Gandhi had already been irked by Sri Lankas support to Pakistan during the 1971 war when it allowed landing and fuelling facilities to Pakistans East-West commercial flights. So RAW saw a perfect opportunity to exploit within the prevailing dispute between the Sinhalese majority (74 percent) and Tamil minority (14 percent) over distribution of economic and social spoils of independence. Before the two sides could work out a compromise, India, through its RAW, managed to polarise the two sides as well as militarise this essentially political conflict. On the Mukti Bahini model, RAW built up terrorist training camps in India for a number of Tamil terrorist organisations, while India suddenly began orchestrating a public campaign feigning concern because of the links the Tamils had with the 50 million Indian Tamils of Tamil Nadu state which was separated from Sri Lanka by the Palk Straits. It was only a matter of time before the militants trained in India began sidelining the moderate Tamils and instead demanding complete independence Ealam. Ironically, the presence of Tamil training camps in Tamil Nadu often created a law and order situation when large arms were captured by the state police. The surprise for the state government came when New Delhi ordered that such captured material be returned.According to Rohan Gunaratna, in his book Indian Intervention in Sri Lanka, RAW waged a secret war in India beginning 1983 so that when the Sri Lankan armed forces launched a major offensive against the Tamil militancy in 1987, the Indian government had already ensured that the Tamils were well supplied and were able to conduct terrorist acts that brought the war closer to Colombo. Tamil Nadu had become the sanctuary for the Tamil terrorists in their hit-and-run tactics. Already, a year prior to this offensive, that is by 1986, there were over 20,000 Indian trained and financed Tamils and India forced Sri Lanka through this militant pressure to alter its foreign policy. But even more crucial, India by now was systematically destabilising Sri Lanka. Being unable to resist the temptation to now intervene directly, India used the Sri Lankan offensive against the Tamil terrorists to force Sri Lanka to accept Indias armed intervention ostensibly to save innocent Tamil civilians. Unfortunately for India, the controversial Indo-Sri Lankan Accord of July 1987 proved to be as much of a failure as Indias policy of direct intervention. The result was Indias massively assisted LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) turned on its benefactor and declared war against the Indian forces in Sri Lanka. All in all, this Indian adventure killed 60,000 men, women and children and forced the Indians to withdraw their forces without successfully completing their mission. The price has been steep for both India and Sri Lanka and even today Sri Lanka is paying the price for this Indian-initiated and RAW inspired polarised conflict. The extent of RAWs role in this affair has been painstakingly documented by Gunaratna in his book on the Indian intervention.Before the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan altered the dynamics of the whole Pakistan-Afghanistan relationship, RAW sought to nurture the Pakhtunistan issue clandestinely even as the Indian government sought to overtly cosy up to certain members of the political elite in the NWFP.When RAW saw an opportunity in Balochistan in the form of Baloch discontentment especially in the face of ZA Bhuttos dismissal of the elected government of that province it moved in fast to play up the issue of Punjabi dominance. While the Baloch insurgency may have had indigenous roots, it was nurtured and sustained with external aid and assistance and RAWs trademark was clearly evident through the Afghan route.

* India continues to stall resolutions with Bangladesh over river boundaries, hundres of enclaves. *This changed recently.
* India forced China into war due its inflexibility with border territories unjustifiably inherited from the British Raj and Indias provocative forward policy.
* Indian governments have refused to sign nuclear testing and nonproliferation agreements accelerating a nuclear arms race in South Asia. (Indias second nuclear tests in 1998 on Pakistans border led to Pakistans decision to detonate its own nuclear weapons.)
* India supported the illegal, immoral and brutal Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Unlike the rest of South Asia, India did not boycott Moscow Olympics along with other democracies of the world.
Indian Pogroms & Terror
* India rampaged through the sacred sikh golden temple, killed sikh leaders and humiliated its followers.
* India used artillery against its own Sikh people in the residential neighborhoods of Amristar
* Indian police and para-military stood by idly as 3000+ Sikhs were murdered during the Sikh Riots sponsored by the govt..
* India government stood by idly as the destruction of Babri Masjid took place
* Indian state government of Gujrat headed by Modi committed a state-sponsored pogrom in gujrat killing 2000+ Muslims and displacing 100,000.

* India maintains an army 0f 700,000 soldiers in Kashmir (50% of its total army and greater than the entire Army of neighboring Pakistan) against the civilian population of that small state which numbers less than 4 million people.
* India massacred peaceful Kashmiri protests in Gowkadal, Maisuma and Bijbehara
* human rights organization like Amnesty International and Asia Watch constantly report of indescribably inhumane treatment meted out to Kashmiris in government run torture cells and elsewhere

This Bill grants authorization to members of Indian Security Forces to fire upon or otherwise use force, even to the causing of death against any person without fire orders. 100,000+ people have been brutally murdered by the Indian Security Forces in the past 20 years and thousands more have been intimidated and terrorized
* According to a recent report by the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) up to 50 million girls and women are missing from India s population as a result of systematic gender discrimination in India. Most victims are of grisly INFANTICIDE not ABORTION.
Post 1971
* After 1971 war, the world chose Pakistan for Security Council instead of India due to Indias aggresssion:
o Pakistan triumphed over India in the 1976 elections to the Security Council, Indias then permanent representative, Rikki Jaipal, confided ruefully that he had received written commitments from well over a two-third majority of the General Assembly membership required for election. But Indias policies of the time its 1971 military intervention to dismember Pakistan, absorption of Sikkim and the 1974 peaceful nuclear explosion had created disenchantment within the international community and played in Pakistans favour in the election. Indeed, these considerations were factored into the calculation that led prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to decide to challenge Indias bid for the Security Council seat that year.
* Pakistan and Bangladesh became friends in 1974. Bangladesh terminated its treaty of friendship wtih India.
China
* Indian claim on northern territory of mongloid populations was based on serious distortions of 19th century British-Chinese documents, I was amazed by the seeming vehemence of New Delhis very weak claim to the territory. (Distribution of Lambs book was banned in India at the time.)

I believe in peace between India and Pakistan. I believe the subcontinent could prosper if India and Pakistan show even the smallest bit of vision and maturity. However, I also think the propaganda or perception against Pakistan by some Indian especially on the net should be countered. Pakistan has enough troubles for others to sling deceitful untruths at the country. Every article in every newspaper about Pakistan is commented upon by Indian posters in a negative manner.
The purpose of these posts is not to insult anyone but to educated Indian and neutral observers that not all of Pakistan is bad and not all of India is good. The truth is always somewhere in the middle. There are many negative things about Pakistan that are absolutely true. There are many negative perceptions propagated by Indians that are patently false. Reformistani believes we are all part of the human family and truth is the ultimate liberator.
