[BITList] More fall out from the Mumbai attack.

[John Davison]

All noted John , 

 No one   can  condone the terrorist acts , which are ghastly and not acceptable

Guess most of us have travelled extensively in India/Pakistan , and in Pakistan Mountbatten is not admired like  in India , they do not have much good to say about Nehru and co and I am being polite .

We have all read books on the history or the partition   recently  I have just read a book by Alex [ a lady ] Von Tunzelmann, INDIAN SUMMER , THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE END OF AN EMPIRE .

Whilst all these history books are the point of view of individuals , this book , implies the Mountbatten's favoured    India rather than Pakistan , who drew the short straw , and the issues of Kashmir of the book certainly leans towards that Pakistan should have got Kashmir , or it should have become an Independent state .

I certainly do not wish to get involved with a political dialogue on this web , and we all know about the problems with Nehru and Jinnah , however this book is an interesting read , and the problems it may appear to day stem      initially from  the   Kashmir problems  it was forecast at that time    that a jihad would last     forever  although wider issues have got in evolved now

The book says Churchill was against Mountbatten , and favoured Kashmir for Pakistan !!!

Try reading the book , it also confirms the rumours that Lady Mountbatten and Nehru  were very very friendly , all condoned by Dickie , who was used to her affairs , and it mentions the same about him too, its a bit like the old saying " are you married or live in Kenya " during the days of the white settlers !!

Salaams   ALL .

  More fall out from the Mumbai attack.




  Facts on Pakistani Terrorism Against Kashmir


  Number of Terrorist Camps in Pakistan: 37


  Number of Terrorist Camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir: 49


  Number of Pakistani-run Terrorist Camps in Afghanistan: 22


  Total Number of Hardcore Terrorists Operating in Jammu and Kashmir: 2300


  Total Number of Foreign Mercenaries Operating in Jammu and Kashmir: 900


  Number of Pakistani terrorists killed by Indian security forces: 291


  Number of Pakistani terrorists in Indian jails: 125


  Number of Indian civilians killed by Pakistani terrorists: over 29,000


  Number of firearms recovered from Pakistan-trained terrorists in India: 47,000


  Amount of explosives recovered from Pakistan-trained terrorists in India: 60 tons (30,000 kg)


  Number of explosions carried out by Pakistan-trained terrorists in India: 4,730


  Nationalities of Foreign Mercenaries Operating in Jammu and Kashmir:


  Pakistan, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Afghanistan, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq


  Deadliest Pakistani Terrorist Groups Active in Jammu and Kashmir:


  Harkat-ul-Ansar (recently renamed Harkat-ul-Mujaheedin) Headquarters: Muzaffarabad (Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir) Lashkar-e-Toiba Headquarters: Muridke (Pakistan) Hizbul Mujahideen


  Peak time of annual infiltration of terrorists into India:


  Summer months, when the snows have melted, under cover of Pakistani Army firing


  Number of people in Jammu and Kashmir killed in violence waged by Pakistan-supported terrorists over the last decade: over 20,000.


  Ethnic Cleansing in Kashmir: Nearly 300,000 Kashmiri Pandits (original Hindu inhabitants of Kashmir valley) driven out of their ancestral homeland by Pakistan-supported terrorists.


  Pakistan's response to charges of terrorism support: "It only provides diplomatic and moral support to the terrorists". To see through this outright lie, read about the "credible reports of official Pakistani support to Kashmiri terrorist groups..." in the US State Department 1997 report on global terrorism.


  The US Tomahawk missiles killed Pakistani terrorists belonging to Harkat-ul-Ansar in the Khost camps in Afghanistan this year. These terrorists were training to fight in Kashmir.


  The Harkat-ul-Ansar and the Lashkar-e-Toiba threatened US citizens recently in open news conferences in major cities in Pakistan (Kashmir Chronicle, Vol. 1, No. 6).


  The Pakistani government makes no attempt to shut down any of these groups.


  Most recent recruits to Pakistani terrorist camps: Kashmiri Muslim children as young as 12 years old, coerced into a dead-end career by Pakistani terrorist groups.


  Why is the Pakistani economy in shambles? 70% of its budget goes to the military plus its debt payments, much of the military spending being on sustaining the Kashmiri terror
