Interesting perspective, and I agree. The focus should be elimination of the insurgents without embarrassing Myanmarese Army, as we need to keep them on our side. Source: http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/editorial/lift-the-fog-on-the-operation/article7310192.ece

With large swathes of territory of Myanmar virtually ruled by Khaplang, it is all the more important for India to continue to strike deep inside Myanmar, and neutralize these terror bases. There will be collateral damage, and many ordinary people in Myanmar, if hurt, will begin to resent India...

This guy is simply making things up: India never said anything about doing anything inside Myanmar. The spokesperson said "along the border." Myanmar never said anything about radars. The picture of the helicopter is indeed fake and this was propagated by ANI news, and was already debunked by...

No, but sometimes what? So I tell you exactly what I have stated repeatedly. mercenary (This definition is from Oxford Dictionary. If you disagree with this definition, please take it up with Oxford Dictionary.) I think you are trying to put words into my mouth. Yes, but this is just an...

A few clarifications for those that try to link the Glorious Past of the Indian Army with the British Indian Army:

Are Indian citizens taking orders from the Indian Government? Answer this question and you will get your answer. Moreover, UN missions are not war missions. They are peace keeping missions.

@DingDong, if I may add, Geneva Convention, where the rules of warfare, and treatment of PoWs, etc., were discussed, came about in 1949. That could be one reason why institutions established prior to 1949 were exempted from the definition of a mercenary and application of Geneva Convention rules.

I am not interested in your nose, and your nose has no jurisdiction over my rights. I have no interest to honour the British Indian Army. I leave that privilege to you. Take it or leave it. Your choice. I am proud of not being a British bootlicker. Accusing a member of insulting Indian...

Was India really trying to send a message to Pakistan? Then why did the spokesperson categorically state "along the border" and not "across the border?"

That is true. The French Foreign Legion was made up of thugs and criminals. They were trained after they chose to fight. Also, a mercenary is primarily (but not necessarily) motivated by money. If we consider the poverty rate in Nepal, I think money certainly is a motivating factor. There has...

Not all Gurkha soldiers are Nepalese citizens. Majority of them are Indian citizens. They are not mercenaries. Indian Government allows Nepalese citizens to serve in the Indian Army. A mercenary is a person who is from one country but fights for another country (going by dictionary or UN...

Many of the Nepalese in Bhutan were migrants who went there to earn a livelihood. Not all of them were Maoists, but many of them were Maoists. There were also ULFA cadres and other NE insurgent groups who were hiding in Bhutan. That entire operation made the chicken neck area secure.

Everything Ray Sir said is correct, and there is always exception to the rules.

I still did not get the mystery how King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev was assassinated. If you see, his entire lineage was eliminated. Soon after, Gyanendra assumed power and made a mess of things. The people of Nepal saw the previous King as next to God, but the new King never enjoyed the...

You are full of, . . . , fabrications and all. Neither @DingDong, nor I have denied dignity to anyone serving in the Indian Armed Forces. You are a dishonest man and a pathological liar. You have absolutely no sense of honour. It is your mind that is hateful, that you try to project guilt onto...

@Bhadra, Yes, this is a sensitive issue. This is not a sensitive issue because anybody insulted any member of the armed forces. Nobody insulted them. It is a sensitive issue because you falsely accused @DingDong of insulting the Gurkha soldiers, when his comment was simply an objective...

I am still waiting for @Bhadra to apologize to @DingDong for levelling unfounded and slanderous accusations against him. He has a habit of doing this, again and again. I would also like @Yusuf to take note of this. It is a pity that we don't have @Kunal Biswas to keep the thread clean and...

Yes, that was the Bhutanese Army flushing out all the trouble makers. It is about time to eliminate as many as these militants as possible. Once that is done, the government should take some concrete steps to bring about development in the North East, which will generate jobs, and take away the...
