A lot of Iranians I've spoken to online before Pakistan retaliated were completely delusional, and boy, how they ran away and still haven't returned after Pakistan struck is just funny. The facade has been torn to shreds, and while it is sad that this plays into US interests, I don't see it...

I read up on Brig. Devinder Singh last night and the story seemed tragic until he was rightfully recognized, please do share the article when you can as I'm eager to learn more. :)

Great (y) I'm not at all interested in discussing anything with you, Please don't make this thread obnoxious, I'm only interested in the truth, not your veiled slander that occupies your responses. You have a problem with Pakistan, take up arms and sort it out yourself. I know you can't help...

Sure thing, looking forward to it!

Well ofcourse, 1971 is a no brainer since Pakistan lost East Pakistan. Kargil is more of a blurry line though, same as 1966.

During times of conflict or war, India, like many other nations, often uses various forms of storytelling, including fiction, to shape narratives and influence public perception. It's a common strategy used by governments to foster unity, boost morale, and convey specific messages aligned with...
