One IAF pilot not only became POW but also gifted us this:

He later became Air Marshal in IAF

One Indian General gifted us this with war plans inside it and later went to win gallantry awards by Indian governments

Come on yaar, you guys were forced to surrender half if your country alinh with 90000 prisoners. Can anything even remotely match it ?

 

[Haris Ali2140]

30000 armed men. Get your facts right.

Yeah 90000

That includes a great number of civilians like government officers, their kids, families etc

Anyways the kind of conditions that we faced in East Pakistan in 1971, if India would have faced them, you would have gifted Delhi as bonus

We have seen what you have done in 1962 war in much better conditions

 

[Chanakyaa]

30000 armed men. Get your facts right.

Its YOUR STAMP. Go correct your postal deoartment.

 

[Areesh]

Its YOUR STAMP. Go correct your postal deoartment.

Are bhai 30000 hi sahi... 30000 + Half of your country gone in a war started by you. Great.

 

[Areesh]

Are bhai 30000 hi sahi... 30000 + Half of your country gone in a war started by you. Great.

30000 vs 100000 plus 300000

Poori equation batao na

 

[Lincoln]

Are bhai 30000 hi sahi... 30000 + Half of your country gone in a war started by you. Great.

Half our country gone to who? You guys didn't and couldn't annex it.

30,000 i.e 14 teams, vs how many? About 400,000... nearly 1 vs 13.

These are the only odds with which India can win anything. Even then, they couldn't annex a single inch.
