Let's put our heads together and work out a way forward. @Milspec

You mean Bharatiya Mahasagar? Remember, you read it here first.

Count that as a brain fade on my part. Desert Fox had used these with devastating effect in his first set of actions in the simulation, along with robust use of Air Defence and very effective use of coastal missile batteries against naval vessels during their re-grouping. I didn't realise that...

Why are our patriots going on and on about Houthis and the Red Sea, when a tanker off the Konkan Coast was attacked by a Drone possibly from Cha Bahar?

Confused. This ship was nowhere near the Red Sea.

There'll be place kept waiting for you. We have a pool building up.

I can contribute a little bit here. The Eastern Frontier Rifles were a very efficient para-military force inherited by India, composed of Darjeeling Gorkhas, and one battalion strong when partitioned. You must be right in calling the Pakistani segment the East Pakistan Rifles. The EFR is now...

Shall do. Am presently ploughing through Bengal - The Unmaking Of A Nation, that has yielded surprising insights. Estimate that will take two more days.

Fascinating. Fascinating account. Yes, Osmani was there. He is indelibly associated with the First Tigers. I was curious about the references to EBR. EBR were the Border Guards, the East Bengal Rifles, five battalions formed, trained and deployed by Brigadier Torgul, a paramilitary force that...

Good to see you. Time to move.

There are more, in disguise!

Bhalo, khubi bhalo. Jaygata bhalo, lokjon bhalo, ebar shudhu contented nit anti proyojon.

Nothing to read yet; everyone is clearing his/her throat and making meaningful noises.

Ah, HERE you are!

A really meaty and detailed account, and one that is rewarded by close study. I only wish that the action details had been parcelled out, either by geographical sector, or by formation, and that its related maps attached there, so that a series of detailed accounts of parts of the overall...

I don't know about the very educating, but would certainly like to bring as much fact as is available to an individual to the table, for us all to consider, and to form our opinions. Now the opinions we form on the exact same facts presented and accepted may differ, and that is not a bad thing...

Scary. We seldom know when we are called.

Good-oh.

If you wait a bit, I'll be summarising a raft of books on these general subjects (they are listed at post #52) Specifically on this number, I haven't checked, but Yasmin Khan, The Great Partition, is a very well-considered source book. Incidentally, I don't agree with @Afif , either about the...

Since I can't afford to buy the missing books that would make up a full series, I am forced to go to Wikipedia for an admittedl suspect abstract of the subject matter
