I’m very much calm. Thank you. I do agree that, Indo-Pak generals have same history. They come from same schools. It was good to see Gen Shankar Roy Chaudhary addressing Gen Aslam Beg as “Sir” during one of the talk shows, as Gen Aslam Beg was senior than Roy chaudhary.
Why would you believe, I’m from “Indian South or East”?
But I do not believe that we should thank Indian General and paksitani generals for not having us burned up in a pile of ashes.
I believe it was coz of the civilian govts. from both sides. Indian army generals have repeatedly said, they are ready to strike across the Loc, or they shoudl cross Loc during the kargil war. But it was the civilian govt. that had to clip the wings of the Army. There have been many times, Indian Army generals have been asked to apologise for their actions by the govt. Like, AY Tipnis, chief of Air staff had to make a public apology, for not saluting to Presedent Musharrraf during his arrival. Indian defence minister Goerge Fernandez has dismissed Indian Navy Chief, for his anti govt remarks.
Gen K Sunderji’s plan was to bisect paksitan throught he middle during operation brasstacks, but civilian govt. dismissed his plans. Due to Sunderji’s war doctrine, Pakistan wants to use afghanistan as its strategic depth.
There were many times, Army chief padmanabhan jingoistic comments were dismissed and the chief was asked to know his limits.
I truely believe its the civilian govts from India and pakistan that should and is responsible for whatever peace that exists in the sub continent.
India has been mostly surrounded by military or military like govts. paksitan, bangladesh, china. Its a big task for Govt of India, to make sure that it checks the activities of its army, navy or air force, so that there is no coup, like it happens in pakistan.
I truely believe kargil war would have not taken place, if Govt of pakistan would have been in total control of its army.
As both Army generals come from same old schools, they have the same Khujli as well.
