Also I think given that his family didn't latch on and he was no where near as charismatic as Nehru and also had a pretty short tenure, our country tends to forget what a fine leader Shastri was. Tbh, if I had to rank Indian PMs, he would be #1, followed by Vajpayee and #3 being Nehru.

I support it. It was high time someone bit the bullet. The clampdown on rights was also to be expected. It's unfortunate and I wouldn't want my fellow citizens in Kashmir to be in lockdown mode for long. Pak isn't going to be able to do anything about it.

I agree that this is the general consensus. A bit charitable to call 1965 a stalemate. But then again, India is known for its largesse.

Touché

I reckon the downfall of Modi will be his duffer trigger happy Home Minister Amit Shah. Modi is by and large illiterate and doesn't think too much. Almost all the acts drawing international criticism are the brainchild of Amit Shah.

One thing Pakistan must surely do in South Asia is to issue a formal apology for the genocide of erstwhile East Pakistanis (now Bangladeshis) in one of the worst pogroms since the genocide during WW2.

It's going to be a massive challenge. Modi has also antagonized a lot of state CMs and satraps probably like no PM before him ever has.

It's a lost cause. They had their one and only chance in 1965. Even they know they aren't getting anything.

I agree. But I would prefer if firms like Mahindra, L&T and Tata are more involved than a firm run by Govt. bureaucrats.

That's always been our position. It's also legally correct.

Are the DRDO Netras any good?

The fact that Polio is still rampant in PoK is testimony to the fact that Pakistan seems to care little about this part of India it has illegally occupied. Polio has been by and large eradicated in other parts of India - obviously PoK is an unfortunate exception.

As far as India is concerned, the only dispute is the illegal occupation of Pak Occupied Kashmir in violation of the Indian Independence Act passed by the British Parliament and accepted by the Dominions of India and Pakistan according to which via Treaty of Accession, the entire erstwhile...

Is there a link to an actual OIC statement? Can't see it on OIC Twitter feed.

Yes. This also had to do with what Abdullah told Nehru. He was a popular leader but his writ ran mostly in the area already captured by India.

Pak seems to be getting kind of desperate in Kashmir. Their hold on PoK is tenuous at best.
