@Rutviii01 Clearly, we haven't established our massive growth potential as a deterrent against such fiesty blows.

2 years ago, one of proxies of usa, Canada tried to use offensive on separatist issue. That didn't end well for them.

Congratulations to all the Bihari people, index pages and Bihar related handles who have put their honest and constant efforts towards raising the necessary issues of Bihar and today we can see that the main opposition party is raising the same issues.
Now, I'm sure that this election can't be fought just on "jungleraaj" , mandir-masjid, mangalsutra, pahalgam, operation Sindoor, caste and religion.
Instead, the real core issues of Bihar will be raised.
Hopeful for a change in Bihar politics✌️

For everyone who is disappointed that we didn’t finish Pakistan. I have only one question.

What exactly do you mean by “Finish Pakistan”? What do you expect to do?

Do you want to do a WW2 style Operation Sickle Cut, launch armored pincer movements, encircle Pakistani armies and annex Pakistan? Why on earth would you want to do that?

Do you want to add 300 million hostile people, some of whom already think blowing themselves up is their greatest purpose in life? How will you manage them?

Is that how you will finish Pakistan?

Or do you want to nuke them out of existence?

Because let me give you a reality check here. We won’t do that. We can’t do that. Indian citizens cannot morally contemplate, let alone sanction, nuking 300 million people. So that option is out.

Then Someone said, “Let’s split Pakistan into 5 countries”.

Now, Pakistan isn’t some Ikea Furniture that you can assemble or disassemble at your will. As hopeless they may be, they still have a functioning military and a working bureaucracy. They will do anything they can to keep the country together.

With all our might, with all our focus, we can exploit that Faultline, but it will take a lot of money and energy and 10-15 years. Are you ready to wait that long?

Some people said we should do a large-scale attack on all their air bases, military bases, Ports, Military HQ everything. Obliterate them out of existence.

Sounds nice if you are movie general.

In reality if we do that, Pakistan will launch nukes on Mumbai and Delhi. Simple. Because it will be their last resort and they will exercise it.

Obviously, we will retaliate and wipe them out of existence, but are ready to lose our 2 big cities and the lives of 20 million Indians as a price for taking out their military?

I don’t think so.

Finally, what is War? War is nothing but politics by other means. And War without objective is pointless.

Any battle launched should be with a purpose.

Our purpose in this strike was two-fold

1. Send a message to Pakistan that for every Indian your terrorist kills, we will kill 100 of your terrorists. We will take you out even if you are ensconced in the heart of your country. We will come after your terrorists like a wrath of God.
2. If Pakistan retaliates, not only can we handle them, but we will also hit and twist the knife if it comes to that.

We have achieved it. In fact, we have more than achieved it.

We have put the fear of God in the terrorists. Obviously, they will try again, but this time they know we will hit back.

And we have clearly shown Pakistan that we can penetrate wherever we want into Pakistan, while the maximum they can do is look up and shake their fists.

Some people also speak about India being diplomatically isolated.

In this entire exercise, if anyone has been isolated, it is Pakistan.

In the olden days, as soon as something bad from Pakistan happened, most countries used to descend on us, asking us to be restrained, calm, resilient etc.

This time not only did nobody speak, but they also allowed us three days of complete freedom of action where we stuck fear in the hearts of the Pakistani military.

So much so, they had to beg to us to stop.

In international diplomacy, no country will come out and say “Please attack someone else. We are with you” .

They will support you only when you are being attacked. The fact that nobody said anything when we attacked, is a diplomatic success in itself. Just that we don’t see it.

To summarize, as far as Operation Sindoor is concerned

1. We sent 200 jihadis to where they belong.
2. Took out 9 terrorist locations deep inside Pakistan
3. Attacked all major Pakistani Air bases, made a complete mockery of their air defence system.
4. Made them beg for us to stop. I mean if it is a wrestling match, the person who taps out first is the one who loses. Pakistan tapped out. Ergo, they lost.
5. Ensured Indus Water Treaty is now firmly in the dustbin.
6. Have given ourselves the freedom to attack Pakistan as soon as a Terrorist incident takes place.

If this is not a win for us, then I don’t know what is.

P:S: India wants to be an advanced country and has to provide for 80 crore people who are below the age of 30.

We have to focus on industrialization, technological self-sufficiency and agricultural modernization.

We have higher priorities than fighting pointless wars against a country who has nothing and can give nothing.

Operation Sindoor vs. Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos

Some of the firsts

One :
Realizing the stalemated status or irrelevance of the UNSC, India didn’t seek to request sympathy from the five of the 1945. Operation Sindoor clearly demonstrated a strong sense of self-confidence and real strategic autonomy and sovereignty.

Two:
For the first time, India shredded the notion that terrorists are separate from terrorist backers and thus targeted both. The notion that certain powerful rogue officers of Pakistani State authorize terrorist attacks was also shredded. This is a new paradigm. Another type of deniability must be invented.

Third:
There was a battle going and a war being planned. In the midst of the battle, Pakistan negotiated for a loan from the IMF, which surprisingly approved it. It matters because most likely Pakistan isn’t fit enough to finance a war but has capabilities to engage in battles. A war can't be won with IMF loans anyway.

Fourth:
The strategic patience and cultural restraint have a limit. That limit was tested on April 22 by the Lashkar Teyba terrorists. Perhaps they wanted what followed. They didn’t benefit from their adventure though. Perhaps they wanted to humiliate India publicly. They seem to be mentally stuck in 2008.

Fifth:
Size matters. Every inch of Pakistan was under reach. I always thought the Nur Khan airbase was the best defended base of Pakistan. It isn’t. The grarrison town of Rawilpindi as the heart of Pakistan’s military and its best-known airbase was hit.

Sixth:
Pakistan lost the monopoly over Islamic Fatwa. The Indian ulema presented a fatwa of their own to their own government. Thus, the religious dimension always exploited by Pakistan to earn sympathy from the Muslim Ummah evaporated. Deoband is located in India by the way.

Seventh:
Keeping secrets in a democratic society is next to impossible, but very little leaked out of India, which shows enormous skills in adhering to principles of operational silence and public unity to assist in safeguarding of secrets.

Note: I have seen very little or no visuals from Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos to comment on. Seemingly, it never took off the way it was propagated. The ceasefire saved Pakistan’s skin. Pakistan military leadership has made statements and claims over their own achievements, but the Indian skies remained open, flights weren’t cancelled, and I haven’t seen visuals of missiles landing in Delhi or Amritsar.

[Amrullah Saleh @AmrullahSaleh2]

India invented the Chess game. Be confident.

My "becauses" to your "whys".
Why it matters to support India.

In September 1996, President Mohammad Najibullah was brutally executed in Kabul. The prevailing narrative attributes this act to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), with the Taliban as the executors.

From 1992 to 1996, the Islamic Government of Afghanistan, led by President Burhanuddin Rabbani, accused Pakistan of sponsoring Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and later the Taliban to violently overthrow the Afghan government. The ISI was named the orchestrator of this brutal war, driven by Pakistan’s pursuit of “strategic depth.” Reports assert that the ISI supplied 10,000 missiles to target Kabul during this period.

In 1997, a scorched-earth policy devastated the Shamali Plains. The destruction was attributed to a trio coalition of Al-Qaeda, the ISI, and the Taliban. Numerous interviews with national hero Ahmad Shah Massoud, available online, corroborate these assertions.

From 1998 to 2001, Pakistan’s Special Services Group (SSG) deployed units to Kunduz to support the besieged Taliban. Following the 9/11 attacks in 2001, these units were airlifted out in what became known as the “evil flights,” enabled by a secret agreement between Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and U.S. President George W. Bush.

On September 9, 2001, Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated by two Al-Qaeda operatives whose passports recorded twelve trips to Pakistan. General Musharraf warned British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Scotland Yard that pursuing the investigation would jeopardize Pakistan’s role in the anti-terror coalition. The investigation was halted, and the official narrative holds the ISI, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban responsible for the death of our leader Shaheed Ahmad Shah Massoud.

From 2004 onward, Pakistan’s military provided financial, military, and logistical support to the Taliban, enabling them to regroup and wage a bloody terror campaign against the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The ISI was repeatedly condemned by Afghan leaders, including Presidents Hamid Karzai, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, and Ashraf Ghani, as well as international figures. The U.S. designated the Haqqani network as a “veritable arm” of the ISI.

In 2008, the Indian Embassy in Kabul was bombed. In 2023, the bombers’ families publicly revealed their ties to the Taliban and disclosed the terrorists’ identities online while seeking recognition and financial support from the Taliban system.

On September 20, 2011, Professor Burhanuddin Rabbani, head of the High Peace Council, was assassinated by a Taliban operative using a sophisticated bomb concealed in a turban. The operative had traveled from Pakistan, and the ISI was accused of supplying the device.

On May 31, 2017, the German Embassy in Kabul, located on a crowded street, was bombed by the Haqqani network, killing or injuring over 700 Afghans. The Haqqani network, a close ally of the ISI, was based in Peshawar and Miram Shah.

Pakistan facilitated the Taliban’s diplomatic outreach to legitimize their cause. When Kabul fell in August 2021, ISI chief General Faiz Hameed visited to assist the Taliban in forming a cabinet, famously photographed holding a teacup - celebrating the humiliation of Afghans. Pakistani leaders particularly the relgio-terrorists celebrated the fall of the Afghan Republic as a religious victory, rubbing salt on the wounds of millions of Afghans.

Emboldened by their success in Afghanistan, the ISI and its proxies launched the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, India, on April 22, 2025, killing 26 cilivilan Indian citizens. in a brutal assault claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot - our common enemy. In response, India, the world’s fifth-largest economy, launched Operation Sindoor to dismantle the ISI’s terror networks.

Why should we not thank India for confronting our common enemy? Why act with cowardice? Some assert that this type of statement conflicts with the interests of our bloc, constituency, or ethnic group.
But let’s not forget Pakistan’s official stance: without the Taliban and the complete removal of ethnic diversity, particularly the Tajiks, from power in Kabul, Rawalpindi would continue to support the Taliban. This policy is recent and well-documented.

We, the good Afghans, couldn’t dismantle the ISI’s terror networks ourselves, though I wish we had. India has now taken bold action. The least we can do is offer moral and political support for India’s large-scale counter-terrorism efforts targeting the culprits behind our leaders’ assassinations.

We live in a multipolar world. The outcome of this conflict will shape South Asia’s strategic landscape. Let’s have the courage to call a spade a spade. And remember: chess was invented in India. They know the game.

After you raised the issue of 991 acres proposed for PMMITRA park as against 1000 acres, DM Begusarai has clarified that they have proposed additional 500 acres with good connectivity to Expressways and railways. Ab aur kya chahiye.

Giriraj Singh will soon approve PMMITRA park in both Champaran & Begusarai. Let's give him 2 months time. Is bar Begusarai me textile park lagega toh hi vote milega 🫡

Jai Bihar ✌️
