1971: A Forgotten Story

Reply # 72 Farzana

[``I repeat that those who fought the 1971 war were not mercenaries. People join the Army and are expected to go to battle when they are called. I don’t think they have a choice here about saying, “I smoked but did not inhale” and its military equivalent. Soldiers in our country, and I assume some others, cannot refuse to join because they do not ethically believe in the war.``]

Thanks for responding. I agree with you that not every Indian who fought the 1971 war was a mercenary. They were just doing their patriotic duty and we should all respect them for that.

However, those Indian soldiers and officers who agreed to take off their uniforms to fight alongside the Bengali terrorists and participate in the massacare of Pakistanis are mercenaries. They were a small fraction of the total Indian force, agreed, but mercenaries nevertheless.

Uniform is the key. When a soldier fights without his uniform, like some Indians did in `71 including probably some on your missing list, he forfeits his right to be treated as a POW in case of being captured.

Please understand the difference. Pakistan is obligated to return any and all POWs but not the mercenaries.

``And while at it, stop using the Brahmin name OK?``

Why SM? Rishi Bharadwaj was a generous and charitable man who loved birds and animals. I don`t think he would have minded.

Yeah, studebaker`s use of this nick is a bit offensive to some of us; but everything is offensive to someone or the other. Certainly, we don`t need to slide into a silly censorious culture.

[## Mullah Ali-jee, don`t worry yourself sick over Farzana`s haal. Worry instead about your own miserable lot back in Pakistan.]

soundmeister bhosdi-ke, quit name calling or be prepared to get back what you hurl, multiplied by 100.

[``The way you talk, you`d think Pakistanis live their lives in complete freedom, lack of fear and prosperity.``]

Of course. Unlike Indians, we are free from bubonic plague and starvation deaths, not to mention that a Karachiite earns several times more than a dhoti-clad in Mumbay or Bunglore.

Nice conspiracy theory. Now take off your stupidity hat, and learn not to believe every silly theory that fits your world view.

[``Hence, all diplomatic options will be exhausted including scrapping the Indus treaty, naval blockade etc. These are very extreme measures akin to declaring war.``]

Who told you that? Sai baba?

[``From what i hear, Musharraf may surprise us. He is supposed to address his countrymen in a few days time. Looks like our man in Khaki will be doing another somersault on the Kashmiri policy (helped by western powers, of course).``]

He will probably provide Indians with a face saver. As for the Kashmir policy, a complete defeat in `71 couldn`t change that, so I doubt a threat of war would do it now. I suggest that you worship your Sai Baba`s lingum as much as you can, `cause that alonghwith your arse is soon to be vaporized.

re: anarayan # 80

Dunno about ali1 but, heck, we need ALL our muslims. Farzana is a jewel, and studebaker is certainly creative.

Mean ol` Scout, eh? Scout, you have a greater following among Indians than one would have guessed!

Tahmed, hamdim, Drumz? Kaash. May be we can kidnap them and a few others.

( *in the meanwhile, let`s start preparing to welcome them by putting the arses of Bajrang Dal and Siva Sena type fools on fire? *)

[You take Farzana and we`ll take that mean ol` Scout. She`s not your favorite person, is she ???]

Actually, I adore scout.

[You can also throw in the other nasties...hamidm and tahmed. We`ll take them off your hands.]

tahmed is precious albiet a bit of a dumbass. I like him very much indeed. hamidm is a nasty racist of the Yahya Khan/Tiger Niazi variety. He will vomit to death before living with dark skinned wobbly headed Indians. Ask him.

[Deal ??? Drumz will probably wander over the line himself (in one of his meditative spells)!]

who is drumz?

[If you agree...bring your mule over to the fence...and we`ll have her all trussed up.

To show you our appreciation...you can pick all the rocks from our side that you can carry...add to your collection.]

I will settle for 72 virgin Brahmin boys. Must be young, tight, neutered and unsullied; and free from facial/other hair please.

mullah, india`s per capita is now higher than pakistan`s...so is the literacy rate...

who iz drumz?

``I am a mountain. I am tall tree. I am a swift wind - sweeping the country...

I am a river, down in the valley. Oh I am a vision, and I can see clearly.

If anybody ask u who I am, Just stand up tall, look em in the face and say...

(((who wants 2 sing back up?)))

Im that star up in the sky, Im that mountain way up high. Wait a minute: Im the worlds GREATEST.

And Im that little bit of hope, when my back`s against the ropes. I can feel it: Im the worlds GREATEST.``

ali1 #97 I see you are an astute observer of character. You got me ALMOST right - the place you slipped up on (as I am sure you will agree on reflection) was when you referred to me as ``a bit of a dumbass`` (as I know you will agree after some reflection). I hope you will be more accurate next time, and instead of referring to me as a dumbass, mention my great wisdom and deep insights.

ali1,

i adore you too, just as much as i adore the smell

of rotten eggs.

Prem,

you think anNy`s getting jealous? ;)
