Indian Army deploys Armoured bulldozers to destroy Chinese bunkers on Bhutan border

Omg, you seriously dumber than I thought. Why not you climb up the Himalaya and then shoot drones from there. LOL

But we are talking about the Himalayas aren't we? Did anyone tell you that operation altitude increases along with ground altitude? They misguided you in that case. It is exactly as I stated - the effective operational altitude of your beloved HALE will be less to the extent of ground altitude, whereas the range of the MANPAD operator will be increased by as much.

Be on Topic,
We know pakistan will not accept.
Its good for both of us. :-)

Your own parliament didn't accepted it than how can anyone else accept it. Your military didn't presented a proof. UN didn't accepted it. Your own media didn't accepted that lie.

Thank God for Bangladesh .

This is official rape carried out by Pak army.

Why is the mass sexualized violence of Bangladesh’s Liberation War being ignored?


“It was part of a systematic plan to disempower and destroy the vertebrae of Bengali society”

One of my earliest memories about Bangladesh’s 1971 War of Independence is a story my mother told me about the bodies Pakistani soldiers would dump across the capital, Dhaka. She said you would go to search the mass graves in certain parts of the city for the dead bodies of loved ones and male family members who had “disappeared” after being picked up by Pakistani soldiers. “Despite the endless killings and torture, there was a feeling in the air that you could do anything,” my mother still says. “Everyone knew independence was only a matter of time.”

But the stories that captivated my imagination were about how Bangladeshi women took up arms and fought alongside the men. While the role of women as fighters and supporters of the war are shared and celebrated, the stories of almost 400,000 Bangladeshi women and girls who were raped and tortured at the hands of the Pakistani army in rape camps, and the war babies they gave birth to, remain largely unknown to the world. Growing up, those were the voices that were missing from the narratives told to the post-war generation.

“In the 1971 genocide by Pakistan, Bangladeshi women played a huge role,” said Dr. Nusrat Rabbee, a survivor of the war whose father, Dr. Fazle Rabbee, was a martyred intellectual of the war. She translated stories from the Bengali book, Ami Birangona Bolchi (The War Heroine Speaks) by Dr. Nilima Ibrahim, and learned that “Women served as soldiers but were also abducted, tortured and raped in concentration camps by the Pakistani army who set up rape camps in all towns and villages they went to. It was part of a systematic plan to disempower and destroy the vertebrae of Bengali society — similar to the targeted killings of Bengali intellectuals. Many of the hundreds of thousands of girls and women were killed or later rejected by their families; their children borne out of the rape were forcibly taken and adopted by foreign nationals. Most of these women eventually died of neglect and without recognition.”

Dr. Rabbee went on to state that despite academics’ acknowledgment that rape was used as an official war strategy during Bangladesh’s Liberation War in 1971, Bangladesh and the international community have yet to adequately acknowledge, confront and prosecute rape and gender violence as weapons of war and genocide in the country.

“There is an erasure of the 1971 history of genocide committed by Pakistan in Bangladesh in the world holocaust archives,” Dr. Rabbee said. “It is important to record that this is one of the world’s earliest and most heinous genocides, where perhaps the largest number of women were targeted by systematic rape, torture and subsequent execution.”

According to the Women Under Siege Project, run by the Women’s Media Center, a US-based organization founded by Gloria Steinem, which investigates how rape and sexualized violence are used as tools of war and genocide, women and girls from as young as 8 years old to 75-year-old grandmothers were abducted and held in Pakistani military barracks where they were subjected to mass rape, often followed by mass murder. Women Under Siege also cites interviews with survivors who describe how young girls were “strapped to green banana trees and repeatedly gang-raped. A few weeks later, they were strapped to the same trees and hacked to death.”

When Bangladesh won her Independence, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation, gave the rape survivors the title of “Birangonas,” which translates to war heroine in Bengali, in an attempt to respectfully reintegrate the women into society. Sadly, the gesture largely failed. After being assaulted, mutilated and impregnated by Pakistani soldiers, rape survivors in post-liberation Bangladesh were shunned by society, and the word Birangona became synonymous with dishonored and violated women — spoils of the 1971 war.

After the war in Bosnia, the world recognized rape as a war crime. Although Bangladesh finally set up war crimes tribunals in 2011, 40 years after independence, 5 years into its controversial existence, its verdicts and process are condemned by the international community. It is unlikely the tribunal will be the platform to finally deliver justice to these women, many of them still alive today.

Nevertheless in 2015, 41 Birangonas were finally officially recognized by the state and given the status of Freedom Fighter by the Bangladesh government, which affords the women the same benefits as all Freedom Fighters, such as a monthly stipend, medical services and reserved quotas for their children and grandchildren in public recruitment and enrollment in educational institutions.

But on the world’s stage, the stories of Bangladesh’s Birangonas have been given too little attention. Despite the genocide and atrocities being publicized and debated even at the time, today experts are still examining why superpowers like the U.S. did not intervene in the Bangladeshi genocide. The world still has difficulty placing Bangladesh’s atrocities at the same level or stature as Rwanda’s, Bosnia’s or even the Armenian Genocide. Why?

It is shocking that despite the mounting testimonies and evidence that is recorded, we do not place the 1971 war in Bangladesh amongst the world’s most horrific genocides. More specifically, why is much of the world, outside of academia and policy circles, largely unaware that sexualized violence on a mass scale was used as a weapon of war as East Pakistan seceded from West Pakistan?

On the eve of Bangladesh’s 45th birthday on March 26th, the country’s Birangonas should be recognized all over the world. We must find honor in their experience, and be just as proud of our Birangonas as we are of all of our Freedom Fighters. They all paid for their country’s freedom with their lives.

Bangladeshi feminists, especially, have an obligation to save Bangladesh’s Liberation War from historical amnesia, especially while these women are still alive. After all, as the saying goes, when a Birangona dies, her story dies with her. How can Bangladesh’s vibrant women’s rights movement move forward if we do not recognize and remember the unspeakable sacrifice and contributions women made to the birth of our country?

For the first time, the pathetic, grisly and untold story of the massacre of more than half a million non-Bengalis and pro-Pakistan Bengalis by the Awami League-led insurgents in East Pakistan (breakaway Bangladesh) in March-April, 1971, is bared in “BLOOD AND TEARS”. The details of the genocide waged by the rebels in those murderous months were concealed from the people of West Pakistan by the then federal government to prevent reprisals against the local Bengalis and also not to wreck the prospects of a negotiated settlement with the Awami League. The danger of such a reprisal has now been eliminated by the repatriation to Bangladesh from Pakistan of all the Bengalis who wished to go there. The 170 eye-witnesses, whose tragic accounts of their splintered and trauma-stricken lives are contained in this book, were picked from amongst nearly 5000 families repatriated to Pakistan from Bangladesh between the autumn of 1973 and the spring of 1974. Although they hail from 55 towns of East Pakistan, their narratives and the published dispatches of foreign newsmen quoted in this book, cover 110 places where the slaughter of the innocents took place. The majority of eyewitnesses consist of the parents who saw their children slam, the wives who were forced by the rebels to witness the murder of their husbands, the girls who were ravished and the rare escapees from the rebel-operated human slaughterhouses. While the focus in “Blood and Tears” is on the rebels’ atrocities in the infernal March-April, 1971, period, the brutality of the Indian-trained Bengali guerrilla force, the Mukti Bahini, after India’s armed grab of East Pakistan on December 17th 1971, is also recounted, though in less detail. The book highlights the courage and heroism of many Bengalis who saved their non-Bengali friends from the fire and fury of the bloodthirsty insurgents.

One of the comments left by someone.

Last week,Indian Army's Eastern Command destroyed documents relating to the liberation war of Bangladesh.It is suspected that those were destroyed as the time approached for declassifying and making the documents available to the public.The documents showed the extent of Indian involvement in then East Pakistan even before formal war was declared on 6 December 1971.One would think that a large number of the freedom fighters was actually Indian saboteurs in disguise and they were responsible for a large number of massacres of both Bengali and non-Bengali innocent persons.

Genius, I am not gonna spoon feed you, even if you climb up Mt. Everest you still not gonna be able to shoot a HALE UAV. Understand?:partay:

Situations like this literally raise the value of SFF

The fundamental difference between 1962 and 2017 is, in '62 there was zero possibility of a conventional war turning into a Nuclear one. And N deterrence has successfully since second world war diminished every chance of small skirmishes transforming into a full scale one.

The full fledged war is not the only thing you bleed your adversary with.
There is more than one way to skin a cat!

Russia (who has more nukes than the US) was under massive sanctions imposed by the EU & the US.

The Russian economy went into sharp decline, Ruble went down 40%.
Iran also same.

Other front is that of Cyber warfare, where India does not count at all.
So pound for pound, India is vulnerable vis-a-vis China.

Don't even compare India with China.
Chalk & cheese.

Well, we don't talk about dalit states. I mean, have you added your weapon inventory? Don't be like iraq.

Yes there are those that can climb upto tropopause. But that is not their operational altitude, definitely not for armed drones. The thing is, you do not need to be a genius to know these things. Whoever told you all this is rocket science was again misleading you. It seems you have an entire battalion of people who misinform you regularly. Or do you glean all your knowledge from Baidu?

Baidu filters out anything that is considered problematic to Chinese government narrative, so I was you I would be slightly careful in relying on it.
