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.

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

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?

"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.

Harishbhai,

(Yaar Tigram you're a Baloch and a Hindu at that? Never seen one before on Chowk. )

Precisely my feelings- a Baloch Hindu is a completely new and unknown animal to all of us!!! (LOL)

Re: # 73 since all u know all guys are ignorant , please note that there are Hindus in Balochistan , they are mostly Munshis of all major Baloch Sardars or they have business like pansari or selling liquor as my family did in Dalbandin.We migrated to Karachi.We have some relatives in Kandahar,Kabul and Dubai also.

Tigram,

A little bit about Baloch Hindus wud be much appreciated. What language do they speak at home and at work? What do they look like-(relatively) tall and fair like Pushtoons and Baloch or dark skinned like Indian Hanuds? Who do they intermarry with? Any large scale migration to India, Gulf or West? Relationship with local Muslim communities?Voting preferences? Caste system? Loyalty to Pakistan?

Regards

Regards

Yaar Tigram, thanks for the information. How are Hindus treated in general in Pakistan? We know a little from media reports, but I would love to hear directly from you.

Boyz and Gaals mix freely in Balochistan/Sindh. It's almost like India :)
