Indian Army: News and Discussion

[W.G.Ewald]

Those who have glass houses do not throw stone at others !!

Thinking the Unthinkable about Napalm and Flamethrowers | Small Wars Journal

Please spare me the self-righteous attitude. Read the comments about Grozny following the article.

And as I have pointed out elsewhere, how many Indians have been hacked to pieces or burned to death by other Indians in recent history? You think nobody knows about that?

Glass houses indeed.

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's

Matthew 7:1-5

Shopian encounter: The final journey of two martyrs

Srinagar: The wreath laying ceremony of Major Mukund Vardarajan and sepoy Vikram Singh who were killed in the Shopian encounter in Jammu & Kashmir was held at Srinagar on Sunday morning. ( Read: Shopian encounter ends, all 3 militants killed ) Their bodies will be flown out of Srinagar to their respective hometowns. While Major Vardarajan's body will be sent to his home in Chennai, Sepoy Vikram Singh's body will be sent to his home in Haryana. Both leave behind wives and children. Major Varadarajan of the Rashtriya Rifles had passed out of the officers training academy in Chennai in 2004. Security forces launched a search operation in Karewa Malino in Shopian, 55 km from Srinagar on Friday evening following information about presence of three militants - two locals and one foreigner. The militants were asked to surrender but they resorted to firing, triggering the gunfight. The three militants, holed up in a house, were killed. Some arms and ammunition were also recovered from the scene of the encounter, a senior police official said. Shopian is part of the Anantnag Parliamentary constituency and the encounter took place a day after militants carried out an attack on a polling party escorted by police and CRPF in the district at the end of the voting on Thursday.
