Thanks for the correction, still not any better still WW2 era junk.

Well there is arguing its old, but its unfair to call it junk. OFB had them in production and still shows them in their list of products, so their make may not be old. The British used them till '94, from 1953, in active service. The span of their service shows how good it was. The British troops favored them for its compact size, reliability and firepower . And its the only silenced weapon that is locally produced.

There is no arguing everything good has to end one day, that our troops needs to equipped with more modern guns, but let just not call the Sterling SMG "junk"

The greatest impact of such IA programs is in Ladakh. There is no family in Ladakh that is not benefited in some way or the other through such means. Recently I reviewed the work of some Orgns. that are working as Facilitators in this regard and helped to edit a documentary on this. Ladakh has been secured, both in body and mind.

This is the only way the Kashmir issue is going to die (and why it is slowly but surely)- give the people jobs, make their lives better and demonstrate they are better off with India than the alternative. At the same time aggressively go after the hardcore elements who are just looking to destabilise the region and inflict damage to India and her people along with completly sealing the LoC to cut down the number of proxies coming in.

Thankfully this is exactly what the GoI/IA are doing.
