Jammu & Kashmir live updates: GOI remove all provisions of Article 370

Nehru never had the military or diplomatic advantage that politicians today have. India was no different then from how Zimbabwe is today.

India had the upper hand militarily. Pakistan was outgunned and outmaneuvered in the field. If Nehru had not listened to Sheikh Abdullah and pressed on we would have at least regained Skardu this whole Siachen mess would have been avoided.

Diplomatic I can't comment, but Militarily no. Most of the brass was either WWII trained or lead by WWII veterans. There was significant hardware compared to the adversaries, but the procurement was absolute crap due to Non-Aligned movement.
 
A little difference being , In 1948 Nehru begged but from 2014 but modi f@cked (#Uri,#Balakot,#Article370) them .
Nehru begged when there was no need for it. We were winning the war.
Nehru was aware that as part of Great game, UK wanted a part of India as buffer as they knew that Indians will want to have their old foothold back in central Asia. So they divided India. Present Bangladesh was an accidental offshoot of that game. The general commanding both the armies of India and Pakistan was a British and reporting to Lord Mountbatton. Could he not have asked his officers to vacate J&K and handover the territory to India after Maharaja Hari singh signed the agreement?
It did not fit the scheme of things of UK as agreed with Chgurchill. So we are living the crime of Nehru.

Singapore which got independence 20 years after India was a fishing village when Lee Kuan Yew took over and now it's considered a financial capital of the world . All that is required is a honest leader with a vision to make the country great and nehru had almost all the qualities exactly opposite for a leader with a vision .
 
A small prediction. Gen Bipin Rawat Might be levated to FM and will never retire. Lt. Gen Ranbir Singh will occupy same spot in Indian History as that of Lt. Gen Jagjit Singh Sparrow Arora and become Deputy NSA on retirement.

So many retired vetrans hate him for his decision like( taxing disability pension , opneing of cantonment road) he took as army chief , whats your view on that ? Does he really deserve to be a FM ?
 
No he openly declared infiltration day..

Very tough for FATF to NOT black list them...

Imran accepted of having 30-40 K armed terrorists with them.. Maybe sort of warning India not to proceed with #370..

Explain s why he was foolishly accepting it...

Now openly declaring terror attacks..

Releasing terrorists..

They not going to get blacklisted even after major attack on India. That's the least apologist world think they owe to Pakistan and let this bilateral matter be settled by strength.

Best General in long time. No nonsense and very bold one.

US saving its Pakistani dukaan?
I told you it didn't look like any US-India deal, I don't know how people are connecting dots and putting feel good stories but India was nowhere in US list of priorities.

They have tried their best to get India in Afghanistan but we didn't budge, to get into SCS but we backed off, we are of not much value to them regarding this region. Pakistan is however ready to kill his troops at right price for US and when they leave the mess behind Pakistan can even take the blame for them. We have very very limited utility for them, more for essays and articles of democracies and all, Pakistan is first choice militarily because of their readiness for selling their soul.

If anything this 370 move was a royal F*U from Modi to Trump after his repetition of meditation offer. He ignored it first time but second time he felt this unnecessary party to the dispute be shown it's place. If Trump didn't offer to meditate 370 may not have gone away with this urgency. Side effect of this act is Afghanistan where US is stuck again. @_Anonymous_ how you concluded India-US cooperation on this? Everything tells us it was quite opposite and the magnitude of this action is so high that US is exercising caution before saying anything more that can have even worst implications for them.

I expect an attack at some point in LOC...Mostly a recorded one...These days PA give more importance in keeping their fans excited and happy rather than achieving tactical objectives.....
Yeah, I too think so, that's what all logic points to.

Just a hunch. The deal with Taliban is mostly done. All that remains to be seen is how many do the US withdraw & how soon? As it is the neighborhood is hostile to the US. Barring the GoA & India they've hardly any friends there - testimony to brilliant US diplomacy. With them our of the way watch how Iran & Russia's ties with the Taliban cool off.
