There is tremendous parallelism there. As in the south, the Kannadiga resents Tamil cultural hegemony (assumed hegemony); in the east, the Odiya and the Ahomiya/Assamese bitterly resent Bengali assumptions of superiority.

Why Meghdut2000? If you want a change, please approach the administrator, TR_123456. Doesn't make a difference to the rest of us, so stay as that if you are ok with it.

Different strokes for different folks. The Bengalis detest and despise Hindi. They speak it with distaste, distorting it with almost malicious pleasure. The Odiyas, next door, have taken to it like ducks to water, and speak it in preference to anything else when out of Odisha.

You mean there are people around the world who 'naturally' hate India? As distinct from India-haters who hate India for a reason?

Controversial. This is alternate future writings. Best avoided.

I'm not sure. Need time to think this through.

Air Force - 90%, but I hope we will be allowed some expansion/additions. Navy - 95%, some minor cosmetic changes, perhaps Army - some major differences, thus Current locations of divisions to be retained, subject to information about details of presence in East Ladakh Regrouping will change...

Point is that we are messing up relationships with each and every neighbour. Think about this, and forget Pakistan. Going clockwise, Nepal hates us, on two counts; Bhutan is disappointed that we let the Chinese take over the family grounds of the royal family; Myanmar, where the junta is...

Yes, and no. More no than yes. What I am doing is making schematics - a stage before blueprints - of the entire order of battle for Western Command, as that is the command that will be deployed in the war game. At every stage of these schematics, it is being planned to accommodate whatever is...

Ah, so.

I have never seen the metal version of CMO, but what we had done during the simulation was to issue an explicit command re-grouping the scattered elements. I could explain with examples, if required.

As above As above Define starting positions Define Air Defence Command in outline, with details filled in for Western Command; Place Defence Teams/Defence Groups along defensible borders; Mobile Teams and Fixed Teams Identify opposing Order of Battle, separately for Army Air Force Navy...

Define General formations in functional terms, across services, thus Defence Teams and Defence Groups - solely for guarding vulnerable locations, primarily artillery-oriented with light infantry guards; Combat Teams, Combat Groups - specific to opposing formations, committed to defeat...

This is precisely the problem that the previous 'Controller' for the simulated war-game had faced. Let us ask him what he did as work-arounds. What we can do is Defined 'Commands' (ie, Pakistan facing Western Command, Tibet/China facing Northern Command, general maritime Southern Command - more...

The four were - # Muslim Bengali # Hindu Bengali # Muslim North Indian # Hindu North Indian and it was their permutations and combinations that formed the politics of Bengal in the period. He goes very convincingly in this line - more when I am able to write freely.

This is fascinating. I don't want to answer you handicapped by being on a touchscreen keyboard. I am home in a couple of days and will reply in detail. Meanwhile you may have noticed that I am halfway through 'Bengal - The Unmaking Of A Nation'. One of the striking ideas from that preliminary...

This is SO FAMILIAR.
