Dear AB, I really admire your nationalism. Really and I mean it.
I wish majority of Pakistanis be that patriotic with their country as well.
Now that I have admired your patriotism, let me humbly add that your replies (2 of them in quick succession) show you a bit off balance (intellectually).
I am simply quoting Manekshaw and his close generals for their honesty about 1971 that is generally absent from Indian intellectuals and net-posters.
Statements by Gen(s). Maneksahw and Jacob clearly show that Indian government was ready to pounce on Pakistan within days of March 25th. That pouncing was supposed to be done just like Indira's dad used against the state of Daccan some 23 years before 1971.
These are the dark facts about Indian designs on a sovereign country called East Pakistan. The sooner you accept these facts, the quicker you will join the honesty level of Manekshaw.
