Views:So typically an Indian reaction.... This is a national disgrace, each and everyone of our neighbours comes and slaps us once ina a while, be it a hijacking or a intrusion, and we in the name of maintaining"good relations" react as whimpishly as we are now...why the hell ar we bothered about this relationship thing if they aren't or are we simply cowards??? The poorest country in the world, millions of whose population has taken refuge in India has the temerity to do what it has and e are still busy trying to find out who has done it and exlore diplomatic means to resolve the deadlock no other country worth its salt would react the way we have after having lost an eniter village of its territory and 16 soldiers. SHAME UPON US!!!+

Views:Lets not speak of friendship when the people accross the border doesn't know how to respect such a bond. When BDR has gunned down 16 Indian Jawans, perhaps its only our leaders in the world who can afford to speak of diplomacy. encounter at border is not unnatural, but the way the Bangladeshis are geting into the act is serious. There is no official appology or explanation for the act from Bangladesh so far.What r we doing? Just mere spectators.

Views:India should take a tough stand. The position to take is 1) Give time for Bangala troops to withdraw (4 to 6 hrs) 2) if they don't do attack with army, capture. (No talks, flag meetings....) this will give a sense of apperhension in the minds of all our neighbours(including China, pakistan). Failure to take a tough stand will make these mor powerful states to pose more threats..

Views:Bangladeshi intrusion is a classic case of "Jiska khao uska maro" Indians were instrmental in giving birth to a nation what is known as Bangladesh today. If India had not stepped in this country would have been kept suppressed by the maruading Paki soldiers. This is what you get when you good to someone. What we should do is smash them to smithereens and teach them a lesson. Perhaps they donot know what are they playing with.

If a similar thing had happend to either US or China they would have attacked and bombed Dacca beyond recognition.

I think they must be given a reply so that they realize that if we could build bangladesh, we can also destroy it. If we don't do anything then it will be a wrong signal to china or myanmar that even bangladesh can get away with intruing inside india. I think they must be taught a lesson so that they don't dare such things in future. BSF people are not meant for sacrifice. They must be given a free hand.

Views:This is nothing new.Our history tells us that we were a disorganised lot and too passive so much so that we have ALLOWED attackers and plunderers to loot this land and rule us. They are not our friends who came to get friendly with us and their heritage is not our heritage. Our comtempory incidents have further reinforced this opinion whether it is in sports or daily life - Indians lack the aggressiveness. How can you explain the fact that a nation which is not even on our radar has killed our 16 soldiers and managed to capture our teritory. By this time we should have taught them a fitting lesson. Make the costs heavy for them so that they would not even dare to attempt such a thing in the next 100 years. If we can not be the first attackers at least attack the second time when we are attacked. It makes no sense just to recapture our teritory at the cost of money, lives and pride. We need our forces right inside Bangladesh so that they know what we are about.

The Pakis are creating trouble in J&K, Bhutan is harbouring anti India terrorists, B'desh kills 16 of our men, nepal is creating trouble .... Where the hell is iron man Advani ji ? Where is the nationalistic BJP govt.? We need to teach all these banana republics a few lessons, that is if Vajpayee ji can hold on to his dhoti!!! b) India might be a big country size wise but has the mentality of a tin pot , banana republic. c) China did not tolerate the killing of 1 person and here nobody seems concenred on loss of 16 persons. We seemed to be more concerned with exploits of Mamta & Samta!!! d) Do we have another Kargil?? I hate the politicians who have not developed a spine till date.

Views:At first glance it doesnt look like Bangla will try take on India, knowing very well Indias military strengths. We are capable of crushing them. Therefore either there is someone who is trying to create tension between Bangla and India or some mis-understanding. The best way to deal with this is: -Investigate whether Bangla really did this on purpose by holding diplomatic talks. -If it turns out to be true, teach a lesson to them so that they dont even think of an intrusion in the future. -If it is the work of some miscreants, find out who they are and teach them a similar lesson.

Views:India is showing that it is a soft state any country can fiddle with. Pakistan can do incursion in Kashmir 1947, in Kutch in 1965, In Kashmir in 1965,and in Kargil in 1999. China keeps on doing that. Myanmar did it sometimes a go. Now even Bangladesh is doing it. Four days have past and we are sleeping. On the very first day, we should have initiated both diplomatic pressure and military maneuvers. Yes, agreed that we would not like this to spoil our relationship with Bangladesh and undermine Shaikh Hasina's position but we, so called Regional Superpower must put intense pressure both diplomatic as well as military to force them to back off within 24 hours. We should have ordered a major troop mobilization, ordered moving INS Virrat to Bay Of Bangol, Declared Neval Blockade of Bangladesh till they restore status-quo, ordered 3-4 squadrons of IAF to fly over Bangla border to put military pressure, to intimidate them. This along with talk at ministerial level should have happened within hours of their first attack. Look at the way China or Israel ( and not only USA) reacts to any such challenge to their sovereignty. We must act like that. Not in an impotent manner as our government is acting now. We display that even Maldives can some day occupy our land and we will just express concern and lodge protest. I feel ashamed being a citizen of such a timid country. Under some previous government, we occupied Siachen, surrounded intruding Chinese troops till the time they backed off, liberated Maldives from pirates and foiled an attempt by same Bangladesh to capture New Moors Islands. BJP gave a feeling that it would provide a tough government and restore Indian pride. Actually the opposite is happening We don't need to attack Bangladesh and initiate a larger hostility, but we can build enough rapid pressure that they have to back off without our actually fighting the

Views:It is shocking to note that our small neighbour, whom we brought into existence, has turned hostile towards us. It makes a mockery of our armed forces' abilities. It also shows how hollow our claims are about being a great power. What did George Fernandes mean when he said it is china which is our first enemy and all our arms purchases and defence policies are directed towards it when we couldn't even stand up to a small Bangla Army? The call of the hour is to be pragmatic and not to get carried away by emotions. At the same time, we need to show Bangladesh where it's rightful place is. This might sound haughty but the world only fears the powerful.

We need to capture what was taken away by force. It is another thing if we have to return the land back if is decided through talks. We have till now been very wimpish and that is not the signal we want to send to the world. We seem to wimpish with China and we seem to be wimpish Bangaldesh and all other tweeny-weeny countries. What have we acheived by saying we are nuclear, that we are the fourth largest military in the world, etc. We have done the right thing by setting the diplomatic ball rolling on the latest embroglio BUT we need to parallely set the military ball rolling too.

That country needs to understand that they cannot survive without India and it is we who brought them Freedom. India is a big country. If these small and insignificant puny countries carry out these kind's of aggression, others will be encouraged to see India as a Soft country. That Image should change and we should not be worried about the consequences. Let the army be given a free hand to eliminate these aggressors. I feel, That we have had enough from the other neighbours already...!

Views:16 lives of Indians, this is unacceptable. Teach them a lesson so that they never dare do anything like this. India has not retaliated till now, we cannot be meek like this.
