Youve got Bangladesh. Youve got Bodo Attacks in Assam, Meghalaya and all of east. Youve got Naxals. Youve got LTTE down south. Youve got the underworld gangs thriving in the west. God save us all. God save India.

Views:strict action should be taken. we may instruct our forces to clear our area occupied by bangladeshi security forces. we should have a objective for revenge that their 10 soldiers should be killed in lieu of our one soldier. But at the same time, we should see what is the motive of their forces. Shekh Hasina Govt. is a friendly government to India and their force may be against this attitude. Why their force creating such situation (is itISI inspired?) Regards Anand Sharma

Views:Well well well. earlier it used to be only the superpowers , now even countries like bangladesh think they can have their way with us. 16 soldiers dead and what do we do? nothing. See how america fought for its guys against china. that too over a plane. Here bangladeshis have occupied our teritory n what has been our response so far? nothing. See how Israel defends its citizens. A small country doesnt think twice before taking on the arab bullies. Here a wholevillage is uprooted and what have we done nothing. Its high time countries like lanka bangladesh and burma were shown their rightful place. When Bal Thackeray pointed out the dangers that bangladeshis pose everyone laughed at him . Now see what has happened.

WHY SHOULD WE PAY TAXES WHEN THE GOVT. CANT GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF OUR LAND? IF THERE IS ANY SHAME LEFT IN OUR BSF THEY SHOULD OVERTHROW THE INTRUDERS.

Views:If reports are to be believed, then it's a shame that we have taken so much time even to lodge a protest. Even worse than this, is the fact that such a small country that is no match to the might of our country would venture and attack, without any fear of the consequences. This just shows how the countries take us for granted. Is it a problem with our Military (or) with the political system ? It's a shame again that 16 of our sholdiers should get killed. Compare this to the Sino-US stalemate. US reflected their concern even for a single soldier of their country. And then China, demanded apology from the mighty US. What do we do here, other than holding meetings. Why can't the government systems confirm the status and issue stern warning to Bangladesh of serious consequences. Diplomatic efforts can always follow. You can't let them take us for ride, for god's sake

Views:Bangladesh should be ashamed of this incident, and should tender an unconditional appology to the Indian nation. It was India which fought for Bangla's independence, and now for political mileage these Bangladeshi do not even think twice before intruding India and killing BSF soliders. I am strongly convinced that Muslim religion is an in and out Violent one. all Muslim countries are real danger to the World peace. Be it Pakistan,Bangla,Afghanistan,Iraq..all are terriorist nations. This allows our Army boss, to have a introspection and come out strongly against these kind of actions. even if we have to intrude or counter attack, we MUST DO IT. It is time Indian Army goes on the offensive, we are not easy picks are we Mr. Vajpayee?

As it is the refugees are becoming a threat to our country and now their troops. It is time that we start giving them their own medicine and not keep quiet. I hope a lot of people will agree with me.

Though the Chinese Border had not been active since many years but is still not considered safe. This new birder tension in the east can turn out to be a big problem. If these muslim counties unite we can face major problems. Bangladesh should not forget that it has been formed with the help of India, or it would still be east Pakistan. India should take stern measures and give these Bangadeshies a tough reply so they or any country will not try to play with the teretories of India.

Views:What a coincidence ? On the same day whole of India were feeling on the top of the world on the success of their scientists in successfully launching GSLV into orbit comes another news which makes them feel small by the action of Bandeshi forces launching an attack of BSF post. The validity of press reports on the loss of BSF personnel is strengthened by the (absence of) official reaction into the incident. It is during such incidents the country should get re-assurance from official press releases, which was unfortunately not forthcoming till now.

Views:This incident of Bangladeshi intrusion points at the utter intelligence failure and the foolish stand of the NDA government in dealing with border disputes. This shows what respect and tolerance our neighbours have towards the integrity of the Indian territory. And above all there is no statement from either the home minister or the defense minister until 2 days after the incident. and the external affairs spokesman terms it as being "careful" towards the excellent relationship with the bangladeshi goverment. it is really heart burning to hear that so many jawans have lost their lives. I can only conclude that there are real "eunuchs" at the helm.

India should react in a firm and decisive manner and teach Bangladesh a lesson that they will remember everytime they think of doing something like this again.

It has a very lacksaidal attitude of dealing with things. A country which was liberated by our help is stabbing us in our backs & claiming something that is rightfully our land. Just a push from our jawans will send them reeling. On one side we launch the GSLV & on the other we sit like dumb creatures waiting for something worse to happen.All I can say is it's now or never.

Views:It is high time that India shows to its neighbours that it is not weak and will not tolerate any voilence on its citizens. Though we have a large population, it does not mean that life is cheap, Indian citizenship should have some value. If the government can not protect itself against countries like Bangladesh, tommorow it might be Bhutan who will be occupying our villages and we will do nothing to show to the world that we are a tolerant nation. Nobody cares. Remind the Bangladeshies that they have earned their freedom through us, and if they act funny they will loose it again.

Views:its a shame for us that anybody can come at anytime, fire on our soldiers & kill them. How can India sit back when 16 of its soldiers has been killed & many captured. Some stern measures are necessary if we want to have some credibility in the eyes of the world. Just think what america or Israel would have done in this circumstances.

Views:India should convey a strong and no-nonsense reaction like China. As a Nation we are sending out a 'too weak and taken gor granted' image for neighbours. It is high time to put the neighbours in place. Look. Loss one pilot and so much ruckus created by China despite threat of negative fallout on trade relations. I wonder whether India could have exhibited same sternness. In nut shell we lack national character. Life is too cheap and expendable for us. True but Sad it is. Statecraft is art of possible and this goverment is Nil at this. Its patriotism is nothing but emotional plank to garner for votes.

Views:no way i am quite angry with the sort of response this bjp govt has shown and our leaders in general dont those killed have families and childrens and talk about our nation still trying peace and flag meetings balls to these leaders & to think about that a country like bangladesh where each year flood india is the first to send help killing our soldiers i want a proper and firm action rather than reply which would further diter any intrusion on indian territories and at least in lieu of those 18 bodies bangladesh must receive 180 bodies i demand revenge why is that for ages india has lost always because we shout peace peace its high time we should be like israel where when one person isa killed he is avenged one way or the other but our leaders sitting cosy and hoping to resolve via talks with this sort of response one can also believe that one day bhutan or nepal will bang in and sit at kalkutta or lucknow and we will still be shouting peace and to remind Mr vajpayee his party was the one which at a time wanted pak terrorist camps raided now what happened once in power they want to just stay put and nothing else i am disillusioned and will never ever support such a meeky and coward parety as BJP burning effigies and protest in india is all that we can do nothing on the front AAlas my country! my heart goes out to those killed and those 2 soldiers whom bangladesh have captured and displaying them as trophies i spit on our govt and leaders who have no guts except shout and shout i love my country and want revenge for my countrymen who lie dead on the border

Views:At the outset, Bangla Desh should not forget that India has played very important roll in getting them the Freedom and they are enjoying freedom at our cost. Any tensions on the Border they should resolve by bilateral dialogues. NOT THIS UGLY WAY.
