"Yaar Tigram you're a Baloch and a Hindu at that?"

He is neither a Baloch nor a Hindu. He appears to be a pathan from the Quetta area, a solid jihadi and Taliban supporter too.

He is one of the fellow travelers Major Amin brought to chowk with him to support his nonsense. Like the interview with that jihadi Rtd. Major General Tajammal.

he got a nice house in westridge in pindi where he is now practising extreme ball polishing with musharraf.

Yaar Tigram you're a Baloch and a Hindu at that? Never seen one before on Chowk. Welcome here. How's the situation in B'stan now? Is the army operation still on?

Mr Jafri,

Thank you for your article. I did not read it.

I have though two questions for you: how many people did you personally kill and what impact has that made on your life?

I would read with much interest an article that detailed the answer.

Regards,

Raj Mor

Itna ghussa aapki sehat ke liye theek nahiN - and it would probably spoil the taste of the Martini you are sipping!

The Pakistani army - like most armies, is reasonably professional and was probably a lot more so (than now) back in the 1970. It was unfortunately saddled with a leader who fell short. The situation was made far worse because of the ZAB's selfish motives.

The "marriage" of the two Pakistans was never really consummated, it was a shot-gun wedding, a wedding of convenience, and there never was a meeting of hearts. It was bound to end up in divorce sooner or later. And that is exactly what happened in 1971.

Arjun mian,

(just like if they had fought longer in 48, they would have srinigar)

There is more than a kernel of truth in that. When the jihadis reached Baramulla they took some time off to indulge in some brahmacharya (or as Zee sahib says a game of palang polo) with the nuns in a convent there. And by the time they reached Srinagar the Injuns had just about secured the airport for troop landings.

The few hours of R&R proved fatal to the Paki cause.

Tigram,

(HP i undestand could be a relative of musharraf.)

HP sain is a Sindhi to the best of my knowledge so unlikely to be related to Mush in any way.

Regards

There was no depth, no reserves, no second lines. There was enemy (Indians) in the front and enemy at the back (Muktis).They never realised that it was not the territory but the capital of the country that mattered. It had to be the Warsaw, the Paris, the Moscow, the Berlin and in our case the Dacca which until captured by the enemy the country would not fall. If only they had concentrated all the troops in Dacca, made a fortress out of it and fought there for months, which they could do. The East Pakistan story would have been different. We still wouldn’t have been able to avert the creation of Bangla Desh but it would have come into being by the intervention of the world powers and probably the UNO itself.Pakistan would not have had to suffer the ignominy of a defeat.

If this is the level of delusion Paki faujis suffer from, is it any wonder they haven't been able to win a single war despite sucking Pakis dry? One can always look back and think they could have done this or that better, and Jafri mian was very much in service in those days, so one is tempted to ask what is it that he did to prevent B'desh?

arjun bhai , Ram Ram , aap nai sahi bola , i understand that pava posted the interview to prove that even tajaamool admitted that paki army committed atrocities in bangal.

HP i undestand could be a relative of musharraf.

Wow...the mail course in the paki army mess is delusion pulao with fried denial for sides..


Had General Niazi and his team of Generals and Brigadiers decided to stand and fight, the Indian Army would never have succeeded in reaching even the fringes of Dacca.


yup...had they fought, they would have won.

just like if they had fought longer in 48, they would have srinigar

just like if nawaz hadn't chickened out, kashmir would have banega'ed pureland by now..

For the attention of Pavocavalry aka Major Agha amin

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your articles. They have been too numerous to read in a few hours, but I am sure they do contain great depth and detail and may have a Kernel of truth, hidden within them, somewhere.

But, Sir, you are inflicting upon us Visual Torture. I say this as the articles are not formatted, too long, etc etc.

In this day and age, setting up a Blog is as easy and performing your daily chores (indeed you might not get a toilet handy in many parts of the world, but setting up a blog is easier than that. Indeed Chowk also has that facility within its ilog pages (since you have an account here you can use this facility).

Could I, humbly request you, nay beseech you, to

(a) put up these articles in the ilog or blog pages
(b) use you interact spaces here n the articles to say what you want to you succintly and then refer to these pages (BLOGS, ILOGS, BOGS or other materail) in your interacts.

I am sure this is not beyond your ken.

Thanking you

Yours Sincerely

Dash_Dot
