In my last post I mentioned how wrong Umesh (while supporting your case) was in comparing the Manorama situation and the British police action. I mentioned Bobby had to make a slit-second decision, while the Manorama case was one where a few Assam Rifles jawans committed a crime. Now, above here you have with one sweep made the Indian Army look like they are a vicious group of thugs. The Assam Rifles is NOT the Indian Army, and if we have to compare then either compare the British Army to the Indian Army or Bobby to our 'thula' In spite of certain incidents, the Indian Army, one of the largest in the world is a very diciplined, and efficient set. Can you cite some examples, since you say they do it all the time, where you have found the Indian Army to have planned to rape and plunder anyone? The Indian Army, like the British or even the Pakistani Army, is steeped in tradition, extremely diciplined, with a very efficient code of conduct, courts of Military Justice etc. It is NOT some rag-tag bunch of idiots running around the country. --Ram On 7/27/05, Rini Kakati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The difference between the Indian Army and British Bobby is -- the Indian > Army do it all the time in a callous, calculative and well planned manner. > Whereas the police officer in London had to do it in split seconds. > > This morning when I walk past the high street I saw few people waving > placards reading "Racist killers", "No shoot to kill".
