A very very hard earned peaceful border against an irresponsible neighbour.<br />2. Indian politicians are hypocrites to have even thought to give Siachen away. They are fools to fall <br /><br />in paki trap of sweet talk<br />3. Corrupt Indian government doesn't give a damn about soldier's lives. It even scammed in the ration <br /><br />supply and cold suites for army men and even coffins.<br />4. We are in dire need for some strong and sensible political leaders and military chiefs<br /><br />We need a new breed of strong, stable and open minded political, economic and military leaders to take <br /><br />some strong and ground breaking decisions. Otherwise, the alarming rate at which china has grown in the <br /><br />past 10-15 years both economically and militarily, with its growing assertiveness, it might be even too <br /><br />late for India if we allow the current red tapism to exist..vikrantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-44692836782529559452012-08-31T00:00:34.270-07:002012-08-31T00:00:34.270-07:00Anon at 12:51

Could you please ...Anon at 12:51<br /><br />Dear sir/ madam-<br /><br />Could you please write proper sentences without the "...." It does not make your comments appear any deeper or more poetic or philosophical or any such thing... its merely irritating like a fly (makhi) buzzing around one that one cant get rid of. And in some ways it even devalues any valid comments/ observations you might make.<br /><br />Kindly do not take this constructive criticism personally.<br /><br />Many thanks, and apologies if your sentiments have been hurt.<br /><br />Heberiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-16304908134538377172012-08-30T15:27:04.294-07:002012-08-30T15:27:04.294-07:00If in a deep forest any man catches a big poisonou...If in a deep forest any man catches a big poisonous snake by its throat, then the snake forms a coil around his hand and body. Now the situation is locked and that man has no option to release the snake. Otherwise he will be dead. So he has to find a rough tree trunk and repeatedly rub the mouth of the snake patiently and forcefully against it till the whole portion of the snake's mouth and head gets disappeared. Any deviation from this procedure can only invite the inevitable death.

My question is, if India has asked for demilitarization of Siachin, citing reasons of casualties in last decade, would they have accepted India's plea. <br />Are Pakistani lives valuable, and Indian lives worthless?? <br />Conclusion: We need to support, encourage our troops at Siachin, and no discussion with any parties. We may give assurance that we will not move into their territory, so they are free to act on demilitarization unilaterally.
