Views:What I feel? My eyes are wet for our Brave soldiers. If not for them, the country would have gone into the hands of Pak, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan etc long back and thanks to the Great politicians of our Nation. I only ask these eunuchs (read Politicians) don't you have Guts. You make so many trips to Israel. Don't you learn from them as how to behave when you are attacked. You are so friendly with U S A. Ask them how they Value their citizens. Tell me you bloody power crazy politicians are you only interested in making money? ACT NOW OR ELSE THE POEPLE OF THIS NATION WILL ACT FIRST AGAINST YOU AND THEN REST.

Views:the pak soldiers would always boast that their orders were on the trigger of the rifle that they hold whereas the Indian soldier had to wait for orders from Delhi, pathetic sight indeed. We so many million people being attacked by a small gang and 16 Patriots killed and mangled beyond identity. No politicians to react, one offical with wrong figures from the Ministry of External affairs was the only one who went on the lines of friendship and all those bullshit, let all these chaps in the BJP, RSS, VHP, Bajrangdal, Shivasena wear bangles, shame on these chaps. We miss Indira Gandhi, she would have finished off with these Bangladeshis. god save the country

Views:It is really surprising as to how a tiny country could make such an intrusion into the Indian teritory and kidnap our 16 soldiers and the use III degree kill them cold bloodedly and return the mutilated bodies. if Bangladesh could do it can Nepal, Bhutan,.. be far away. What's happenning is hard to belive. We provided them independence and they are slugging it out on us.Whatever be the political compulsions or the straying of BDR forces it should not be our concern. Infact, our concern should be for the lives of our BSF forces and the failure of the intelligence. Bangladesh should be made answerable lest this would send a wrong message to others.

Views:The 16 BSF men were not simply killed.. they were tortured to death by the @##$ Bangladeshis. I say blow up the whole f****** village and kill all those villagers that tortured our soldiers to death. The BJP govt is responsible for this and the govt is the reason why low-life Bangladeshis could even dare to enter India. Ever since the this party came to active politics India has been going down first the Babri Masjid Demolition, Mumbai Blasts, all the scandals, Kargil, Indian Airlines hijacking and now our soldiers are being killed by beggars(read Bangladeshis) whom we have fed over so many years. All this is so pathetic. Isnt there a MAN anywhere in Indian politics or r there just Eunuchs like Vajpayee and Advani...?? I beg to the army generals to take over the country and kill all these politicians. And I ask where are all those members of Shiv Sena who dug up a cricket pitch to show that they are patriotic, where is the RSS whos members always help the country. These organisations do nothing but kill the minorities in India, create riots and demolish religious structures. All these organizations kill India from the inside while other bastards like Bangladeshis kill India from the outside. I just pray that somehow India can get through all this !!!!!

Just recently we saw how the US made hell for China when what it did was just as 'capture' its spy plane crew members who landed in Chinese territory, or for eg: what the Israelis do when anyone of there people is even injured in clashes with the palestines! I'm afraid, we will continue to be gutless with our leaders trying to be 'mature' and relying on a stupid diplomacy.

Views:Its a conspiracy by frustrated Pakistan again as i find its a continuation to what happened in Nepal "Hrithik". Though i feel equally enraged by what they have done to our soldiers, i would support the stand the govt. has taken because as reacting otherwise would fall into the scheme of things that Pakistan wants. To retaliate and antagonise a nation however small or poor it may be will only increase India's troubles for a prolonged time. i'm quite confident our govt. will handle the situation tactfully and in our interest. Remember every country's soldiers are aware of such situations and should be ready for them. My proud salute to the BSF jawans for doing so for so many years and bravely defending the nation.

Views:This is shocking and outrageous, and can not be regarded just as 'local adventurism' . Bangladeshis are trying to follow the example of Pakistan's Kargil misadventure. But for the 'appear-the-holy-cow-till-the-very-last' kind of attitude of the Indian leadership,Bangladesh would have been punished suitably. The BDR doesn't stand anywhere near the professionalism of the Indian forces. Still, such a high casualty on the Indian side hints at a pre-planned offensive on a limited scale because BD can not afford to have a full scale confrontation with India. Indian jawans will trample BD forces.

O LORD PLEASE SAVE COUNTRY FROM INVADERS AND THIS FOOLISH POLITICIANS. It is a suprise that even opposition leaders like Sonia, Mulayam, Lallo, Basu are keeping mum on this issue. I request to Mr. Naidu to come out of this ruling combination. AGAIN I REQUEST OUR LEADERS TO TAKE ACTION, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME BY TALK OR NEGOTIATIONS.

Views:How many times does India be silent on the issue? We should firstly fence off the bodrer completely. Fence all borders off with Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Burma, China, Bhutan, and electrify them. This will give the Pakistini ISI punks harder work to get into India, and harder for the Bangladeshi BDR to attempt this again. Our soldiers should be equipped with the latest weapons. Any funny stuff by the Banglas should be an all out invasion of all the border posts until an apology is met. The stupid and ungrateful Bangla soldiers and opposition have forgotten that it is us they sholud be thanking for liberating them from the tyrant Pakistani generals! This is what we get as thanks. Bangladesh should not forget that we are a nuclear power with one of the world's most formidable military and can pulverize them within a day!

Insted of criticising present governament and coming out with suggestions such as we should bomb bangladeshis, it will be nice if we keep patience. Bangladesh has done really a bad thing which no one can forgive. Its prime minister whatever may be her political constraints should apologise and dismiss the 'local adventurists'.

The only outrage I have come across is in this bulletin board...in our neighbourhoods, our offices, local clubs....life goes on as usual. The common Indian couldn't care less. A more ungrateful/cowardly race of people does not exist on the face of this earth. I do not think we will be able to survive much longer as a nation if bhookhe-nange Bangladeshis can also bully us. I am sure every soldier in India is wondering whether he should waste his life for this ungrateful country. Shame on J N Dixit for calling this "a practical approach". Let us stop fooling ourselves with notions of friendship with Muslim majority countries - these countries will always have elements who will be rabidly inimical to us simply because we are a Hindu-majority nation. And it is these people who will call the shots - because they will shout down the moderates, if any, by calling them traitors to Islam. This is waht happens in Pakistan and this is what has happended in B'desh now. And what is this bullshit about not embarrassing Haseena Wajed ? As far as I am concerned, I have lost 16 of my contrymen who risked their lives so that I and my family can live in peace. It is irrelevant whether this attack was sanctioned by the B'desh PM or carried out by "rogue elements" in BDR. I mean, this is ridiculous - these kinds of excuses should have come from Sheikh Haseena. We are the aggrieved party and we are also the apologists for the aggressor ! The same thing happended in Kargil when Fernandes tried to absolve Nawaz Sharif of all responsibility. And see where we ended. It could have been much worse if not for the raw courage of the Indian Jawan. The same Jawan will think ten times before rushing in to sure death after this incident.

Even the guardian forces like the Defence Forces, Police, The Customs department (whose efficiency and Honesty have a direct bearing on our national security. Remember how the Customs department have facilitated landing of Contrabrand and even RDX explosives in the past?) are rotten to the core. That is the sad fact. The BSF is on of the most corrupt security forces in the world. They have been involved in clandestine human Trafficing, Narcotics trade and cross border. This led to a complacency and absolute lack of alerness in the BSF and in fact the entire nation now has a Chalta Hai attitude. See the fruits it bears that a "Bangladesh" behaves with impunity. This is a larger issue than just a border intrusion.When are we going find the patriotic fervour and righteous indignation to hit back swiftly and ruthlessly when somebody wages war against us? Or will we remain the same soft state which has blundered through Kargil, the Kandahar Hijacking, The Kashmir Terrorism and now the BDR incursion?

Views:The Bangaldeshis seem tohave forgotten that they are a free nation because of India. Had it not been for our Indian troops, they would still be under Pakistani rule. What is disturbing is ht eweak stand of taken by the Government. Be it Kashmir or Assam border, the government seems to be only talking. That is all. Talks will take us no where. It will be misinterpreted as a sign of weakness on our part. Ee need to deploy more troops with heavy artillery and air support. In case any neighbour of ours intrudes into our territory, then we should immediately cut off our diplomatic relationship with that country.

Views:The cruel treatment shown to the BSF soldiers needs a debate.This a high time that the Indian Armed forces take the rein in their own hands rather than allowing a group of nerds to talk only about peace.The politicians must first be gunned down and then the B'deshis must be thought a lesson. Its high time the people of india wake up.Stop paying taxes and all those things for these corrupt politicians.The Vajpayee GOVT has proved to be a coward. We need a leader like saddam hussain,even if we have to live with sanctions....we indians r capable of facing rough tides.

Views:Shame Advani, shame Vajpayee and shame Jaswant Singh. A country like Bangladesh, which will be wiped out of the map, if every Indian urinate on its soil, intrudes in our village and drags 16 of our jawans and kills them. Why are these 'swadeshi rashtrabhaktas' silent? Are they foreign agents, trying to sell our great country? I appeal to the BSF and the army to retaliate. If any officer dares to stop you, simply chop his head off and give this gift to the children of our martyrs. Even if these spineless leaders try to stop you, chop their heads too.

Views:I think it is high time India acted like good big brother to small neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh....It is shame for nation like India to sit across the table with bangladeshi army and talk about peace....Already more than 1 crore bangladeshis have entered into India illegally and becuase of Indian government having soft corner for these bangladeshi...Bangladeshi army has dared to act in this manner....Just crush bangladesh into pieces....

Views:it is shame on part of Government. The politician here comes to power only to grab opportunity for making as much money as to help their next 3-4 generations to enjoy their lives. They are all corrupt people, whoever they may be or whatever party they may belong to. Politician is a breed of living things as human beings or animals. Their characteristics can never change. It is such a shame that they are so insensitive towards their soldiers who guard their borders to make them relax and enjoy the power. Shame on PM, Home Minister and Defence Minister. Spineless lot.

Views:This is really pathetic. Today minnows like Bangladesh can attack India, mutiliate Indians and we have to defensive. So called rulers of India seem to be the harem keepers whose personal tools have been chopped off. If they are serious about Indian dignity, they should take action similar to what Israel is doing to the Landyahs in Palestine. Twenty eyes for an eye!! Why do we have to take approvals of fucking Mullahs and Arab world before we start protecting our sovereignity??

Views:I tried to understand the reasoning behind this whole mess, but to no avail. If Shekh Hasina's govt is not doing it, why doesn't the Indian govt also get out of the way and let the Indian army handle the matters? If it is a "local adventure", destroy the part that did this "adventure". That is not declaring war, that is defending our territory. Or is the govt too busy to do this as well? It was pathetic to see the picture on the front page of ToI, with the villagers carrying one of our soldiers like a "bakra". Do you think people will line up to join the army now? There are times when patience and non-violence makes sense. This IS NOT one of those times.

Views:This government must go!!! Mr. Vajapeyi needs an explanation to the nation and to the widows of 16 innocent soldiers whose bodies were mutilated by Bangaladesi.The act of BDR IS NOT JUST A CRIME AGAINST HUMAN BEINGS BUT IT IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMAN CIVILISATION. Mr Vajapeyi and Advani has become too old to take strong actions. Perhaps Dr.Ranavat has not done the operation on his knees perfectly as he still lies down his knees frequentlu First at Kargil,then at Kandhar and now infront of a weak muslim populated Bangalades. No wonder tomorrow even countries like Nepal,Bhutan will easily hijack indian jawans and torture their bodies. This government must go!!! India should be handed over to the army and Bangaladesh should be attacked.India is not secured under Atal Bihari Vajapeyi and Mr.Brajesh Mishra.

Views:when i was in third year of my Engg. , i was dying willing to go for IMA-Daheradun and join Indian Army. Due to Kargil conflict parents didn't allow me to do so. i was very much unhappy with them till today. but after this incidence of bangladesh , i m happy that i m not part of indian army or BSF, otherwise, i would have got killed by BDR or any militant. my parents would have cried for me,with some piece of VALUELESS medal. after some days they would have read the news of rehabilition of same militant. i don't understand the policy of India. they r rehabiliting the militants and those who don't deserve it. at the same time they r ignoring the personnels of Army and BSF who died in such incidence. i m happy with civil life, as this country doesn't deserve my life-sacrifice. she deserves to stay as "Gulam". we r not hitted by pakistani or bangladesh, we r beaten by our own politician. Today is the right time for reborn of SARDAR PATEL. India at this stage needs musolini or hitler because the personnels of Army or BSF got killed in such occasions r much ahead of those who fought for India's freedom, as they know there death is wastage still they r fighting on border. infact they r fighting with our own BLOODY BASTDERD politicians. Congratulations to Bangladesh for there daring and win over India. Today india don't need a Abdul Kalam or Sachin Tendulkar , really it dyingly need one SARDAR PATEL, otherwise we would get hit by each part of the world in similar way. Hoping that SARDAR will come back . Don't sacrifice ur life for country. Save it for yourself. Its more valueable. Best Wishes . By an ashemed Indian.
