I would be the last person to take away the honours due to our brave soldiers. Sam was one of the best, and it is pity that India unlike any other country does not honour our brave by awarding them public office as leaders. As Prime Minister, he could have made greatest impact rather than the non-entities that have since occupied the highest office in the land.
India's intervention in the Pakistanis beating the brains out of the Bangladeshis episode shows all that is wrong with Hindus lack of foresight. Bangladesh's independence has profited India not at all. In fact, just as with Pakistan, India created another venomous viper to our Eastern wing of the country. Pakistan's genocide in Bangladesh would have meant they would have been too long preoccupied with their own intercine conflicts. Their long chain of communications would have made them so vulnerable that it would have made profitable little for them to have antagonised India. Independence for Bangladesh has allowed both countries to single-mindedly pursue Jihad against India. Ostensibly, India's intervention was based on the half million Bangladeshis that had flooded in. As a consequence of the war, we now have more than 10 million illegal Bangladeshis in the country care of Indian left leaning governments. We have yet to learn from history.
