India – As we saw it – Part 2

Continued from last part .

China debacle

Instead of showing pictures of dead Indian soldiers I thought this cartoon would be more appropriate.

About soldiers thse lines are engraved on shrine of Shaitan Singh of Rajputana Rifles all whose men perished fighting. Their bodies were found frozen but yet ready to throw grenade or fire gun when discovered months later.

“How can a man die better/ Than facing fearful odds/ For the ashes of his fathers/ And the temples of his gods”

Indian sparrow atop a tank

Instead of famous photograph of Shastri shaking hands with much taller Ayub I prefer this photograph.

Bangladesh war

Does this picture need introduction?

Only thing is a discredited Pakistani General has tried to settle scores by badmouthing Field Marshal ManekShaw when no one is available to refute the charges.

Buddha smiled

Buddha Smiled for the first time in 1974 but it was too late & too little. Result India faced technological apartheid for 30 years & Pakistan got an excuse to go nuclear.

PSLV

PSLV – One of the many things India is justifiably proud of.
