Indian Muslims who fought against Pakistan

[Solomon2]

I propose starting a new thread to uncover one of India's hidden strengths in its struggle with Pakistan.

Let's start with -

Company Quarter Master Havildar Abdul Hamid (July 1, 1933 - September 10, 1965) was a soldier in the 4 Grenadiers, Indian Army, who died in the Khem Karan sector during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, and was the posthumous recipient of the Republic of India's highest military decoration...

On September 8th night, the enemy made repeated probing attacks on Grenadiers positions but was frustrated in all the attempts. The most serious threat, however, developed when the enemy attacked with a regiment of Patton tanks...the enemy tanks had penetrated the forward company positions. At this critical juncture, Hamid was commanding a recoilless gun detachment. Seeing the gravity of the situation, he moved out to a flank with his gun mounted on a jeep. Intense enemy shelling and tank fire did not deter him -

What was it that made A.H. fight so hard against his co-religionists? Was he misguided? Did he attack because his family was under some sort of threat? Was there another reason? Or is the whole story some form of Indian lie? What should be done about this?

Hmm , sensationalism at its best.

Those of us who have been in uniform know & realise that a soldier fights for his Country, Regiment, Company /Squadron / Battery, Platoon/ troop, section.. in that order.

Notice, religion does not figure in the list at all.Well, at least in secular countries. I don't know why shadows are being sought where none exist.

"Misguided, family under threat"..it is not only shocking but also demeaning to even think on these lines.

Fighting against coreligionists is something that muslims have done all along the world over for centuries. Why muslims, even christians & Hindus have fought amongst coreligionists.

The Iran - Iraq war, Iran - Kuwait to quote a few are reasons enough to debunk theories of ' Ummah' & non aggression against coreligionists.

In a military forum Sir, I consider it sacrilege to question the motive of soldier who lays down his life for his nation for there can only be one - patriotism, and patriotism spans across religion.

What would you call it when George Washington fought the forces of GB for your freedom. Both were Christians without doubt. Can we say G. Washington or the forces of Britain were misguided?

WHat will you call the battle of Queen of England and the King of Spain. Thousand died. Both were Christains. The Great Armada of Spain sunk. Who was misguided?

KIT Over n Out

they fight because they know a thing called pride of the country which you obviously you have not heard of. PATRIOTISM ever heard of it or always indulged in the religious fantasy...

"MISGUIDED"... huh ... ever heard of iran-iraq war?????
