Views:I don't understand what good bilateral relations we are talking about. When Bangladesh did not give a damn about it's bilateral relations with India why should we give a f------ damn about it. But we have invited it upon ourselves. India is our Motherland and when our mother was raped by Pakistanis in 1993 (Bombay Bomb Blast) the whole world had seen the we were just mute spectators of the whole act. India our Motherland (Bombay) was raped on friday and our Mr. Sharad Pawar, the so called Maratha when to the town shouting on Monday that BSE is working and Bombayites have started going to work. Instead of raping Pakistan this impotent bastard was bandying around town that he was very proud to go to work on Monday eventhough his mother was raped on friday. Now it's the turn of Bangladesh and the same story is being repeated. This politician bastard should be raped by homosexuals and hanged in public.

Views:"once bitten, twice ready to be bitten " is how one could describe the recent assault on the indian border. the mutilated bodies of the jawans is proof of how friendly the 2 neighbours are. the motive appears to be masterminded by a political spindoctor of PM Sheikh Hasina , what with the impending general elections in bangladesh. otherwise one could say that the forces at their end and the PM herself would have gone bananas to authorise this. but what r we indians doing , taking all the crap , lying low ??? when are we going to get shy ?

They always talk and talk and just enquiries. Nobody ever care of our army's moral. what the armymen are going to think. Does somebody ever think how much it hurts when u see your friend's deadbody that too treated with inhumanity. We should teach Bangledesh a lession so that noone else try the same. If we can not teach a lession to even a country like Bangladesh who eats the wheat send by us, then there is no point of wasting so much of money on so called security.

Views:India should drive away all the illegal immigrants who have come from Bangladesh. India should tighten the security on the border and should insist for court marshalling the troop which was involved in the attack. Let our Prime Minister be ignorant diplomatically like Sheikh Hasina, when BSF along with army wipes out Bangladeshi troops on the border. India should increase surveillance and should be prepared to wage a war, if there is slightest altercation in the Border.

Views:I dont have any regrets nor am I ashamed to call my fellow Indians as EUNUCHS. BDR without any reason had tortured and killed 12 BSF men in cold blood and what are we doing trying to solve it diplomatically. Think about the pain those people must have endured when they were strangled without any mercy and without any reason. The govt doesnt want to take action because they are scared to loose power but the worse are we Inidians who are not doing anything because we dont care!!!!! Dont we have the moral responsibilty towards those who sacrificed their lives and their families who have lost everything. If we react in such a cold way to their sacrifices do you think anyone will ever risk their lives for India and my dear people do you all think that this wont happen to us . The day is not far when another ghazni or gauri will enter India coz this country is full of cowards and lynch each and every soul on this land. So lets get together and convey this message to the govt that if they want to stay in power then they should do what Israel does. Let our Intelligence agency get the names of the people behind this incident and we will send out commandoes and when ever we get a chance we will lynch those bastards and if the govt does that I am sure no one will ever think of doing such a thing. My question is clear if a tiny country like bangladesh can do this and get out of it unscathed think about what china or America are capable of doing. I salute those BSF jawans and hope that their sacrifice will not go in vain. You were the only mards and the country left is full of na-mards....

If those SOBs can forget that It was due to India's courage, effort and sacrifice that their country was born then why should we care. Also, what India needs are young and dynamic rulers and not old haggards like Vajpayee who pause more than talk. I am sure that if a younger man like Rajiv would have been PM then we would have atleast hit back. Shame on spineless Namards like Vajpayee and Jaswant

Views:It is unfortunate to see so many people are responding so angrily about this incidence. Yes it is unfortunate that we lost 16 good and brave soldiers. But we all need to understand the game plan of China and Pakistan, that they are trying to create anti-India sentiments within her neighbouring countries like Bangaldesh, Nepal and Srilanka and they are successful to certain extent. Had we responded to this Bangladeshi intrusion in an Israeli manner we would have done a lot of damage to our long term regional/national interest. We should dissuade ourselves from playing into the hands of China-Pakistan ploy. If you look at the chronology of incidents to weaken the strong central government from these to unholy countries, first it was Thelka exposure to weaken the goverment (I will not be surprised if Cong-I is involved with these two countries, why not it was Pakistan which sponsored money to fight last general election. And it is time for cong-I to return the favour now), then it was Nepal, now it is Bangladesh...next Sri Lanka ? So my dear fellow countrymen I appreciate your strong emotions about our great country, but at the same time we need to very watchful by not playing directly into the hands of Chine-Pakistan (and Congress-I ?). Be careful, be watchful. Jai Hind.

Views:Are Indian lives so cheap? This is what I often wonder about after seeing the govt's reaction time and again. Would one like to work for BSF? i DON'T THINK SO. I do not advocate a tit for tat policy as it may not fit in the scheme of things. But, sending a clear message to them that we care for those lives. Get the culprits in India and let them stand for trial here. Regarding what ppl are talking about pak and china- Well, I doubt India can face china in a war. We have got rusted MIGs that crash every other day. All the political parties are just interested in filling their coffers than buying defence technology. Chinese are buying lethal tech at a fast pace. So, all you, can judge for yourself. Now with tehelka, government will take longer to buy any defence tech. It is frustrating. That too when we know, how many times India has been invaded, that too successfully.

Angry - coz 16 of our men have been murderd and we are mum . i dont know the reson for our silence and its an insult to the jawans who had to die.The reaction of the indian government is very disgusting. As a country India should be seen as an emerging SUPERPOWER , but the image its making of itself is that of a "quite" "submissive" state of being. Its like every Tom Dick and Harry (especially Dicks) trying to step all over us and our soil and the worst part is that - they get away with it . This has happened too many times . china ,pakistan and now by a little country called bangladesh.Its shocking that a country like bangladesh can take a country like India for granted . I say we adopt"eye for an eye , tooth for a tooth" no matter who it is or where it is . Look at Israel - we definetly can learn a lesson or two from them . Its time we Indians realise that we do not have too many good neighbours around and we have to watch out - you will never know who is going to backstab you next - lesson one !And as for our 16 men - it was too late!!! Ours is a Big country , ITS TIME WE REALISE THAT AND START ACTING LIKE ONE !!! THE MESSAGE SHOULD BE - YOU STEP ON US - WE CRUSH YOU !!!THAT WILL SHOW THE BAD NEIGHBOURS THIER PLACES. I SAY , THAT SHOULD BE OUR MOTTO. NO JOB IS COMPLETE WITHOUT LEARNING A LESSON AND DEFINETLY WITHOUT TEACHING ONE WHEN NEEDED!!! WE SHOULD STOP ACTING LIKE SISSIES !

Views:Even as an ardent supporter of Shri Vajpayee, I find it difficult to justify his handling of this crisis. How can we as a nation, with aspirations of becoming a super power, accept torture and mutilation of 16 of our BSF soldiers ? This is not a case for applying Gandhian philosophy. We should act sternly, so that whoever has perpetrated this crime gets punished in a manner befitting the crime. Our response has been like that of a whimp. If the honourable Prime Minister of India has run out of ideas, as a responsible citizen, I request him to consult the US President or the Israeli Prime Minister in deciding a fitting course of action.
