Did they run away and apply for asylum overseas? Or did they use the Indian system to ensure they not only got out from detention (not lock up) but won the next election? Please read up. Thanks.
That's the good thing about living in a plural democracy. People and political parties should be entitled to their views. Sanjay Raut is from Shiv Sena - to give context to the gleeful cheerleaders here - that's the party of Bal Thackeray. If anyone within India, especially Maharashtra can get...
Much to my shame, I haven't been to most of these places except a few in Rajasthan. If you have some nice pics of Jaisalmer and its Fort, please put those up too. It seemed out of some magical

There was no battle as such to gain Siachen. Just a race to the top of the glacier. There was a minor skirmish named Operation Rajiv to capture Bana Top. When Pakistan had it, it was called Quaid Post - which India renamed after capturing it. But that's just one feature on the glacier and that...

To quote @Kaptaan -
" However from the India POV it gave them the first victory in a 1,000 years and that is why they will tout it for thre next...
The people who live on those islands outside of defence personnel are some of the last uncontacted people on the planet. Bombing has no strategic benefit. Killing uncontacted tribe would invite worldwide condemnation. The only thing that would help China is an actual capture of the islands...
India also lost 50 aircraft. You can expect a separate thread on each of them.
