World must realise India’s contribution to WWII, rectify the past: Jaishankar at RIC meet

[Dark1]

Do you understand the context of Pakistani criticisms here or do you just feel compelled to sermonise your brain fahrts?

The entirely correct criticism is that "the secular republic of India" does not represent the contribution of "British India" to the world war efforts.

It's tantamount to London holding a parade for the commonwealth's contribution and only inviting Brits.

We get that Russia cannot invite Pakistan at this time because Delhi will get its knickers in a twist. We don't care that we're not there. However, Jayshanker is only making an idiot of himself by appropriating the whole of British India for his little rant.

" “So tomorrow, when our military contingent marches through the Red Square, it would be an affirmation of the difference that we made,” Jaishankar added ".....

...no Mr Jayshankar, you represent British India about as much as you represent a certain 60 sq km of Ladakh.

At this time our greatest issue is with China not Pakistan. If Russia cared so much about us , it would have managed China. But the Russian foreign minister has clearly decided to remain neutral and said so publicly
So your theory fails.
These were just 2 colonial wars , where the Indian soldiers were just guys who needed jobs. So not really a commemorative moment for India.
On the other hand we had Bose who met Hitler and sought his support for ousting the British. He joined the Japanese and formed the azad hind fauj.
Our FM is just being polite as these events were planned a long time back. Old invitations.

On the contrary my dear pseudo-intellectual friend, your preamble does not prove "failure" of my "theory" at all. Let me outline your error in terms of your assumption of mutual and overlapping relevance of two very distinct episodic contexts.

You're discussing an item of information that is of no relevance to Pakistan (the Ladakh episode) but trying to tie it to Pakistan by using a different reference point (the parade).

Russia's relationship with China most certainly is more important than its relationship with you, hence an issue concerning the three of you (Ladakh) will see Russia take China's side. Russia's relationship with Pakistan meanwhile is of less value than its relationship with India, hence in an issue concerning the three of these nations, Russia would rather not insult Delhi if avoidable - and in this case it's easily avoidable as it's a military parade and nobody really cares right now.

The two issues are completely distinct and Russia manages them distinctly.

FOr the brahmin (this minister is one ) Indian state existed from eternity. And he is the top dog of it all along. Thats they fabrication they want to impose on the world. Disgusting creatures.

LOOL

How delusional can one be? Indians didn't do shit. Hell majority of fighting men were muslims from Pakista in WW2. Still no point celebrating mercenaries fighting for colonial power. Jaishankar look like his ancestors contribution wouldn't have more then being coolie or cook for Raj army.

A well-informed and non-Sanghi Indian diplomat at the UN would have also acknowledged the role of Pakistanis, Nepalis, and Bangladeshis in the same breath. Everyone contributed to arrive at that 2.3 million number, and India alone should not be hogging the limelight through propaganda.

This guy is a total moron and behaves like a spoiled kid. He is making india look more and more stupid. I wonder is that the only person india could find for FM? That short witch was much better than him.

He became FM because of nepotism. His father K. Subrahmanyam had good connections.

Well my original post was "short witch".

 

[Taimoor Khan]

That'll be Ironic when you present that point in front of the Russians as Soviets Republics fought the war.

The only irony, rather funny bit is "India contribution to WW2" and incumbent Indian FM having verbal diarrhea about it. A colonial entity and its subjects fighting on behalf of her majesty the queen in war which thay had nothing to do with, now a country which came into existence on 15th august 1947 talking about that war!

Lunacy!

They were part of the British Indian army. It doesn't nullify the sacrifice of Indians and a lot of soldiers who fought the World wars later became part of the Indian army. It is not about which political entity fought the war, it's about the army, which is the point of the entire parade. Besides, we are 'invited' which in itself nullifies your entire argument.

And they were subject of the Raj and fought on the orders of Raj. For incumbent Indian FM to talk about them is pathetic to say the least. What he or his country got to with those who fought for the Queen from the sub continent? Its actually rather funny that Nazi Germany directly contributed to the independence of sub continent by weakening the world order of 1940s. And yes we know, how Russians offices were pleaded in a hope to get the audience of Chinese after Chinese FM smack the phone down on Jay Shankar. That's what it is, otherwise as we say "Baygani shadi main Abdullah dewana" .

Who cares man. They're Indians, my grandfather served in both the British Indian army and Indian army should I dishonor his service in the British Indian army? It's a simple argument, did Indians served in the World war, we did it's a parade to honor them. We contributed to a world war with men, machines, and other supporting equipments.
