Captain MV Pranjal , 63 Rashtriya rifles , sacrificed his life for the nation in Rajouri . He was a brave soul, a great leader and a kind heart. 🇮🇳 om shanti!

[@PMPatel-np5jq]

Immensely helpful in grasping & understanding the complexities of the situation. Very well dissected & explained.

[@Geertwilders865]

Thats why i dont give a damn about palestine gaza , because these people have not said a word of sympathy about lives lost in this area since 47

[@sandeepshetty237]

Sir, please don't be insult your intelligence by calling terrorism as miltancy

[@AVINASH-ph1wr]

he is not intelligent . he is just avg.

[@bsheikh717]

Sir, you are wrong, for British Govt. Baghat Singh and other freedom fighters were terrorists, but for you they were freedom fighters. Those militant freedom fighters aggressivily bombed the then British parlaiment because the arrogant British establishment was not comming to the table for talks but were using brutal force to crush the genuine right of the freedom fighters and general innocent Indians.

[@sandeepshetty237]

Your answer answers your intentions 🤣🤣🤣

​@@bsheikh717I sincerely hope you have same kind of feelings about TTP, BLA etc as well? right?

[@ramanvk5523]

SG confuses and confounds the meaning of militancy and infiltration ... If it is infiltration, then the word mitlitancy does not belong in the same sentence and vice versa... My question is, is he deliberately passing off this though he is aware or is he not good at English?

[@anuragrajasingh]

Yeah right! He is bad at English. And yet you are here like a free loader watching his videos and posting comments. Shows that you have nothing better to do than watch videos of someone you feel is not aligned to your thoughts or is bad at English. Tch Tch Tch!

He is probably not stupid like you may be? Food for though!

Balochistan and Sindh freedom fighters deserve to be heard. Perhaps, then India should openly support and fund them and their militancy for their nationalistic causes.

Man Mr. Gupta, I thought you are better than this. When situation was better you didn’t utter a word in support of the government. Now with one incident you are calling militancy and look at your headline saying “militancy returned “. You act like a learned man and cannot identify terrorism. What is your agenda in supporting anti government elements softly under the guise of cut the clutter when there is no clutter to begin with.

[@usazar]

What a ridiculous comment, that's like saying let's talk about all the people Godse didn't kill. 10 years of relentless propaganda has rot the brains of the average indian.

[@sansinutube]

Indian army is too poorly equipped and poorly protected compared to a modern army like the Israeli army. Ballistic vests worn by Indian army can't even hold up against armor piercing ammunition that jihadis are using these days. Hundreds of billions spent on military, but soldiers are not properly equipped. No better way to break the morale of soldiers. Also, when will army stop using canvas covered trucks for transporting soldiers and start using armored vehicles like modern armies do? Most casualties happen when regular trucks carrying soldiers hit mines. No modern army loses soldiers like Indian army does. Life is cheap in India, and Indian soldiers are expendable. And Agniveer scheme was introduced to recruit more cannon fodder.

[@ranaahmad2781]

They are freedom fighters, not militants. They are fighting for their rights. Hold the plebiscite and let them decide about their future according to UNSC resolutions. What a dilemma on the part of India that on the one hand, India wants to be a permanent member of the UNSC but on the other hand, it does not want to uphold the UNSC resolutions over Kashmir. Kashmir is a disputed territory according to UN. This is fact.

[@harshsaini9898]

Ist read un resolution on referendum. And if they are freedom fighters then ttp also.

Pakistan has forfeited any rights in the matter by its systematic religious cleansing of Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs. From around 25% of the population in 1947, they are now around 2%.
