'I Sensed Pakistani Duplicity Ahead Of Kargil'

[@bopalkaravi]

Super-Duper. I am awestruck by the humility of G Parthasarathi and the sagacity of the interviewer Surya Gangadharan to remain in the background all throughout.

[@abhinavsingh.92]

Best SNI interview in my opinion so far!

[@doncorleone3901]

We want to see more of Parthasarathy. It is such a joy to just listen to him

[@malkiatsingh9924]

@APS Chauhan.... Wow..... Just wow.... Great in belittling a community who had won and protected Indian sovereignty on countless occasions.....

[@732anoop]

@APS Chauhan This was really a stupid talk of belittling Indian community, shame on you.

[@rohitroll2119]

@APS Chauhan such stupid and uneducated rhetoric. Our Punjabi brothers had been the shield defending India and the sword punishing India's enemies. Respect for my Sikh brothers from a Bengali❣️

[@nitishsaxena1372]

@APS Chauhan Indian Punjabis (both Hindu and Sikhs) as a whole have always been at the forefront when it comes to serving for the country. Khalistan thing doesn't track much support in Punjab either. It's only those Sikhs who don't even live in Punjab. Btw, Chauhans in Pakistan (yes, they've people with this surname too) also call themselves Punjabis, Rajput Punjabis to be precise.

What a scholarly gentleman, thank you sir for your service.

[@roshanchachane142]

Let's be honest, Atal Bihari made the same mistake as Nehru. He was also vying for Noble, to please the Muslims, and blinded himself from reality. War comes to those who are least prepared for it. So, if you want to avoid war, always be prepare for one.

[@roshanchachane142]

@john doe We may have won, but we came so close to losing the Kashmir. Had it been not for Israel's critical help, we may as well have ended up losing Kashmir or a large chunk of it had the world power pressurize Vajpayee enough to stand down.

When ever I listen to Pardhasarthi Sir feel proud and excited. I personally feel Modiji govt should have used his services more better way. We would like more of his views on other important Indian centric diplomatic aspects with other Countries also. Once again we thank you 🙏. If possible please come to Hyderabad for all ur needs

[@sandeepbhoot1213]

Partha Sir you are strong iron man I m fan of you. Whenever you comes on times and Republic your each word sounds weight. Hats off you Sir.

[@apbg9235]

Such an insightful interaction. Thank you SNI for another excellent interview.

[@bipinsingh171]

In the deliberation at the very end, Ambassador you said about sensible people in Pakistan, but do they really carry any weight, or their views count in Pakistan, you did not elaborate on it. What counts in Pakistan is their army, in every aspect, and you are absolutely right that we can never trust, Punjabi dominated and to much extent radicalised Pak army. The only treatment is obvious without words.

[@manoharseetharam2660]

Good chat. Was hoping to hear more about Parthasarathy's views on the post Kargil diagnosis in Pakistan about the misadventure and the conclusion that it was planned entirely by 4 generals without any political involvement.

[@palanharish4464]

All well spoken, but what parthasaarthy just said in the last 20 Seconds, is unacceptable. This is exactly the kind of problem that bugs us - a forgiving & self destructive tendency in some of our frontline fellows till this day, since the Mahabharata period. Arjun's predicament or Dharam Sankat to put it precisely was demolished by bhagwaan krishna on the battle field. Wake up Hindus and stay mentally strong - ruthlessly, mercilessly & ferociously offensive, never defensive in Ur mindset. Jai Hind...

[@neumoi3324]

Palan Harish - Absolutely right. The belief that ahimsa under all circumstances is a virtue is a self defeatist attitude. The only language that Punjabi Muslims of Pakistan Army understand is that if you step on our toes we will cut off your feet.

[@artram1655]

Pruthvi raj Chauhan defeated Mohamad Ghauri in the first battle of Tarain Ghauri understood how rajputs fight: that Rajput fight only from sunrise to sunset and how ethically a Rajput fight is more important than winning the battle So the next year he came and attacked the rajputs at night and won and established the first Islamic kingdom

As always, insightful. Amb. Parthasarthy - please take care of yourself sir. SNI - thanks for this interview.

[@rathnaky9815]

The statement that Army was told not cross LOC was appreciated by Foreign powers What BS is this. This probably is one of the causes for heavy casualties and loss of precious, innocent Indian army lives

[@adityabhan5299]

@john doe What a joke! The Indian Army fought off the enemy from Tololing Ridge, Drass, Kargil, Mushkoh Valley, Tiger Hill, and numerous other features despite having one hand tied behind its back by the Government of India. None of these features were regained through diplomatic negotiations. In fact, our government decided to give safe passage to the surviving infiltrators when we were in a position of strength, by prematurely agreeing to a ceasefire.

[@adityabhan5299]

@john doe If the government hadn't restricted us from crossing the LC, we would've severed their logistics channel from Skardu within 48 hours, and the infiltrators would not even have grass to eat within a few days. The frontal assaults caused us massive casualties. Our ability to regain territory was never in question. It is just that a lot of needless Indian blood was spilt because of the manner in which we went about it.

[@adityabhan5299]

@john doe Many of those casualties were a result of frontal assaults. If we'd avoided this naive tactic, crossed the LC, and cut the enemy's logistics, we'd have finished the war earlier and with fewer casualties.

[@adityabhan5299]

@john doe One quarter the cost??? We lost far too many men. We'd have lost very few, had we launched special operations along the Skardu-Kargil axis and disrupted the enemy's logistics. The 7:1 or 9:1 ratio came into play only because we were forced to carry out frontal assaults. This was completely avoidable.

[@adityabhan5299]

@john doe True! And the political dispensation at the time, ended up being over-conservative.

[@vidhyaraghavan2614]

Fantastic interview. Great insight by one of most distinguished ambassadors G Parthasarathy.

[@deepakgogoi5975]

Fascinating ringside view of developments leading up to the Kargil war, giving valuable insights into the duplicity of the Pakistan establishment, particularly its army. Congratulations.

Kargil was the absolute failure of intelligence and diplomats in Pakistan.

[@raghav1976007]

What an amazing interview... As rightly said by GP Sir - We still have not learnt to understand how treacherous can Pak Army be...

[@invinciblesoldiers5654]

Great to listen his views. But now since all the documents are in public domain, and it clearly show that young officers even brigadier rank officers informed the superior officer about Pakistan occupation and trying to capture key feature in our areas well before between Nov 1998 to Jan 1999. But senior leadership failed to react and we lost so many soldiers.

[@hitaarthmehta113]

Fantastic... Do more such interviews

[@rathnaky9815]

The Intelligence failure as claimed by this foreign secy is totally wrong. I was told that Defence Intellegence and RAW gave a clear picture of what was coming soon (??Kargil war) to the then Defence minister George Fernandez ( and of course PM Vajpai too) . These arrogant fellow George Fernandez underestimated and result isloss of precious Indian army lives

[@1mehra]

Great interview very authentic and very real !

[@brucevilla]

Thanks for Uploading.

[@vasukinagabhushan]

Kargil infilitration was a failure on Indian part, due to complacency of Vajpayee Govt, which was in peace talks with Shariff Govt.

[@pranaysingh586]

Very good episode. Kindly discuss Afghanistan with Mr Parthsarthy and also ask him about the backchannel talks of the plane hijack which he is talking about.

[@user-tk4kw1rk7i]

I can't seem to stomach the fact that Mr G . Parthasarathi said ' that the greatest intelligence failure in our Indian history was our inability to discover movement of Pakistani forces towards our border' . I guess he forgot to mention the Chinese. Who not only built a road in our territory now ( aksai chin) in 50's but it took us a decade to discover it . And now we don't even have it.!!!!!!!! Which one is the bigger failure? Sir tell me

[@himeshreshamiya7830]

D he is probably a nehru gandhi lover.. ofcourse doesn’t have the guts to speak the truth

[@padmahariharan6327]

Excerpt from Naseem Zehra book Sartaj Aziz pointedly asked his PM whether the plan the army had made was not contrary to the undertaking in the Lahore Declaration. “Sartaj Aziz Sahib, can we ever take Kashmir through paperwork? We have here an opportunity to take Kashmir,” was a relaxed Nawaz Sharif’s response. By contrast, his foreign minister was perturbed. He was clear that this operation would not help Pakistan get international support for Kashmir.

[@PramodKumar-eg7ws]

Excellent conversation sir 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@gautamgupta2198]

First time, I have heard our inside story of Kargil. G Parthasarthy Sir is great, very honest. By the way, I have seen lot of videos wherein many Pakistani journalists and thinkers have openly blamed and critisised Musharraf & his 3 generals who inflicted Kargil on us.

[@sakshipant5607]

These sort of persons r also like soldier confronting with diplomatic front. They have their own weapons to turn treagdy into triumph.

Sirji - Do you think was Simla Agreement a lost opportunity for India (having had 90,000+ PoWs ). If a light is thrown on it we will be thankful.

[@neumoi3324]

GP is a good man. But this interview is irrelevant because Gen V. P. Malik has covered most of these points quite succinctly in his book. He has also accepted that the initial belief of the local commanders that mujahideen were involved in the infiltration as a failure of the military intelligence. Gen Malik has further said that only four Pakistan military officers were involved in the planning of the Kargil operations. That Nawaz Sharief was informed at a much later stage by telling him that if Kashmir could be separated from India then Sharief’s name would be written in golden letters and that he would be sung as the liberator of Kashmiris. So Sharief also started seeing a dream for himself. At this point it was not possible to safely retreat from the occupied heights. Gangadharan could have probed the ambassador on these aspect. Gen Musharraf’s statement that even if Kashmir issue is resolved the attempt to destabilise India, which he (read Pakistan Army and puppet political leaders) regards as a hegemonic state, would continue, is new. This should make Indian government sit up and think seriously.

Government has not taken lessons from Kargil seriously. There are two phases of Kargil war. Pre'bofors and Post Bofors artillery induction. The first phase India was losing miserably and the second phase we got a fighting chance. Lesson learnt - use your Artillary, helicopters, missiiles, RPGs and drones first before using army as cannon fodder and not the other way round, and be prepared for the worst scenario don't scramble after the damage is done.

India needs to introspect regarding our generals ALSO

[@artram1655]

Thé bofors guns were obtained in 1987 and because of the corruption scandal it was put in storage without usage During Kargil war, Vajpayee and George Fernandas took the decision to use the bofors guns Each bofors Shell cost $1000 India reestablushed deal with bofors abs got the shells Such a stupid thing to put the guns in storage for 11 years that we paid for and denying the army of these guns

G.Parthasarathy(GP) was an excellent advisor to Indira Gandhi on Srilankan tamil issues GP was a Tamilian, from the Hindu newspaper family group: The Kasthuri Rangan group His advise was: To Eelam tamils: give defunct weapons to Tamil militants so that they keep engaged against Srilankan army but not a win for Eelam To Sinhalese: offer them tea and express sympathy Rajiv Gandhi came to power and replaced GP with Romesh Bandari, an arrogant Brahmin from UP who had no clue about Tamils or Dravidians This led to indo-Srilanka accord which threatened Rajiv Gandhi life on the day it was signed by a Srilankan naval cadet and later led to the murder of Rajiv Gandhi Rajiv Gandhi betrayed Tamils and died licking tamil soil

Who was the Indian defence minister, who kept sleeping during kargil incursion..?

[@Charanms]

We need more South Indians or people from South India in the diplomatic relations especially in Pakistan and Bangladesh. The reason being that in the past and even now sometimes there is still a soft corner in some North Indians who see Pakistani people as their long lost brothers ( it is true in many cases) but this is not wrong on the people Level but when it comes to relations between governments, the Pakistani Army and establishment is much more devious than what the people in the Indian government especially North Indian community think who have has some family ties with the people or with the place living in the Pakistan . This has been misused by the Pakistani Government and Army and its ISI on numerous occasions. Let it be Sikh Community for a very good example. If you think I have anything against my own people in North India, don't get me wrong. But time and time again this has been true especially and mostly with India Pakistan relations .
