Perfect example of crappy Indian assessment of a bygone era, let me enlighten you, long before the term Taliban was introduced, the darling of the West, the Mujahideen funded by CIA and others were pushed into action to fight the Soviets. If you must post then at least get your facts right. !!
Oh and Taliban was a creation of Paksitan on US bidding for what your Mushy famously said to have a 'strategic depth'. They were pushed for a reason and why did Pakistan allow that? After all they were mass produced in the many madrassas in your country.
Hell i can post other sources to your hearts content....and we are eating grass ??? idiocy has no bounds, for your bread basket has developed a taste for gulping pesticides for breakfast....any record of how many go down for your tall economy banter, how your forces fake encounters for incentives and the likes of Sajjan Kumar walk tall in your la la land.
Secular my foot, your trainmen of Dalits puts apartheid in shame...... baring it on and see what you are really made of.
Stop clutching at straws here, why bring secularism to what is being discussed, Indian Economy is much better than Pakistan the sooner you learn that the better for you. Answer these,
What percent of your GDP you spend on Defence even after the proverbial 'Atum bum'?
Why do you spend so much when the aggressor in two out of three wars was Pakistan?
Why is your Army concentrated on Indian border when Refugees are flowing into your country from the other side?
Why is that your railways have failed miserably?
Despite situated on a very fertile land, why is your economy going down the drain?
Why do you have infighting among your ethnic groups despite having no caste system and dalits?
Why is your minority population dwindling?
Why is a person like "Hafiz Muhammad Saeed" roaming freely on the roads? and person like Zaid Hamid being invited to universities when he claims Ghosts with shining blades fighting the IA?
Do you know about the Shia Genocide active in Pakistan?
Figure out the answers.. and it will be related to the OP..
