Thanks for clarifying.
Oh the mere fact that people have begun discussing it, howsoever absurd it may be, indicates otherwise. Take the number of threads on it. See the video of Imran Khan berating force and government apathy and violence in Baluchistan and FATA-Waziristan. How do you think that the figure of 700,000 soldiers is there? On internet, if you repeat it a number of times, it is quoted equal number of times. That is how propaganda is achieved.
I have clearly laid out the number of troops a number of times. But they are ignored. It is a two way street lady.
I repeat, this is another example of propaganda. Think rationally and logically, step back and really think it out, putting yourself as a commander of troops in kashmir valley who has been tasked to ensure that militants do not gain upper hand and to maintain safety and security of all concerned while limiting the collateral damage.
What, as a commander, will you achieve by ordering your troops to rape? Will it not antagonise the people further and create more problems thereby nullifying your military objectives? Will it enable achieving the military tasks or further aggravate it?
Seriously, give this a thought.
Incorrect. I was opposing posting of rape as being defined as a deliberate policy decision on a mere paper which was full of inaccuracies and complete bias and thereby trying to brand a professional army of both sides as 'rapist'.
If my aim was to sit here and spew venom and foster hatred, I would not be here in the first place. I had enough experience of that in far reaches of Kashmir itself.
I assure you, neither do I condone rapes, you did not read my post on post ratings where I have categorically called the as B4stards who are bereft of religion and nationality and deserve no sympathy and only due judicial process to punish them, nor is India using it as a policy as it is counter productive.
And my analogy to Counter Insurgency operations? It was to highlight the use of rape or threat thereof by the militants to get shelter and food and access to women ....
That is a fact. Had the author delved into these aspects, perhaps I would have respected the work and defended IA as the approach required in different light.
I refuse to listen to drivel from anyone who has not been on ground in Kashmir and roamed in the streets. The women and children are the greatest losers in any conflict. I did post a narrative on the role of women in Kashmir militancy and highlighted the fact that many women went pro only because of loss of near and dear ones.
The cycle of violence has to stop, for that Pakistan has to back off, and allow peace and development in valley.
Have you ever wondered why militancy erupted in 1989 and not in 1950?
Maybe if you looked into your own country's actions, you may , and may just get an answer which is logical and not mere rant.
You have a good day, I see your posts increasingly becoming personalised and full of animosity. I urge you to look at things by placing yourself in others boots and trying to see what would you do .... when you shout rape as a policy ... please tell me how as a commander will you justify that policy as being in consonance with your military objectives!
Why
@war&peace ? Put a few FCs with Blue Helmets .. that shall take care of that .....
