see how indian army say pak amry is best of all

Wonderful stuff. See, this is why I always stand up against blind criticism of Indians. There are some genuinely informative and honest people there, just like anywhere else in the world.

well professionals always respect each other despite all the enmity

Fully agree with you ajpirzada, both are very well trained Armys and they both respect each other as they both know about the profession or purpose of their job which automatically gaines one's repect. A harty salute to both the armies.

Being on the opposite side doesn't mean you have to hate each other.

I have no time for the vicious, almost racist abuse people of the two sides have for each other.

So true..what better example in recent times (Kargil) than coming from the Father of Capt Vijayant Thapar's (Vir Chakra) -Col VN Thapar, who echoes similar sentiments for a soldier's bravery. Though he lost his own 22 year old son. I had posted this earlier in some other thread...reposting it again..

An expert from NDTV's program which was aired in 2007 where Randeep Singh Nandal says...

"Col VN Thapar is a remarkable man, a soldier of the old school, very pucca, very composed. Every year, he climbs up to the exact spot where his son died, that's all eight years since the war ended and has made a small shrine to his son, at 15000 ft!! In 2006, I met him at an army function and promised that the next time he went up I would accompany him - that was that. So here we were, climbing up, crossing high alpine meadows and negotiating icy cold streams.

I said Col Thapar is a remarkable man, it just isn't the resilience he has, I am a reasonably fit man but at these heights it isn't easy. At 65, the Colonel isn't a young man, but he never complains, never once asked for a break, he just goes on stolidly.

No, the real reason for my respect is something that I realized as I shot the story. Here was a man who had lost his young son, Capt Thapar was but 22, when he fell, but even as he recounted Vijayant's last moments, his father, the Colonel, never lost his poise, calm, dignified, he found place in his heart to feel for the Pakistani soldiers his son fought, complimenting their bravery, recounting how tough it must have been for them as they were pounded for days on end by ceaseless arty fire, without water.

He even showed me the cave where they used to take shelter from the shelling and it was never 'as the enemy' that he referred to them, they were the 'Pakistani Boys', just as his son and his mates were the 'RajRif Boys', he was just a soldier talking about fellow soldiers!

For me it was an experience I will always cherish, Kargil was the first war extensively covered by the media, for the first time we saw the Indian army in action, we shared their agony, saw young soldiers on TV hours after a successful attack, alive, happy, recounting their adventures and then some days later saw obits read out on, saw their lifeless bodies, blackened, torn to pieces, being cremated in their hometowns"
