WHY THIS WORLD-CUP IS NOT THE 'SAME ONE' FOR ME!!

I was born in the year when Imran Khan lifted the world cup i.e. 1992, I was 4 when great Arjun Ranatunga won the cricket world cup in the Asian subcontinent, and I was 7 in 1999 – where I saw the courage of Steve Waugh and his ‘invincible’ team and their dominance in the Cricket world for the three consecutive world cups till 2007. I saw the moment in my life, when M. S. Dhoni lifted the cricket world cup after 28 years. However, why I am talking in a sarcastic manner and why I am telling you cricket world cup history? It’s because this world cup of 2015 is not the same one for me, I saw a legend since my childhood, a legend who inspired many generations to go and play cricket, a person who made cricket a religion in India, a person who is responsible for scoring a number of records for the nation, the person is – Sachin Tendulkar.

That is why this world cup is not the same for me and I am not excited about the ongoing matches. Great Sachin Tendulkar has scored the most number of runs, number of centuries, good match average both in test and one day matches, and many other records that I cannot describe here, because the list of records are longer than we can even calculate. He made the generations to start cricket and to make it as a career. He retired in 2012, and believe me a majority of people has stopped watching cricket game. Believe me my generation is, raised by watching his talent and his aura. We love him and you he has scored the most number of runs in the world cup as well, so that is why I said this world cup is not the same for me.

Anybody can be the champion and my wishes are with each and every player, but I am not interested in watching it, told you the reason. Therefore, I am little sad during the world cup, hope every team will perform better for their nation. Hope teams will show a great talent of their skills.

A Day In History

It’s 16 December, this day has a great importance in the history of Indian Defense, and today I am going to share about an incident, which created a new nation. On this day, 33 years ago under the command of General Sam Manekshaw India created a new nation, Bangladesh, from the map of Pakistan. India in collaboration with Eastern Pakistan started Operation Chengiz Khan against the barbarism and cruelty of Pakistan army, who were slaughtering millions of people in the East Pakistan. The war lasted for 13 days, and it made 90,000 to 93,000 Pakistan Armed Forces with paramilitary personnel as war prisoners by Indian army. In addition, Pakistan faced a huge humiliation from this incident.

“This is Sam Manekshaw.

Indian Army is in Bangladesh.

Your Air force is, destroyed.

You are, surrounded on all sides and if you do not surrender,

You all will be killed unmercifully.”

-          Sam Manekshaw during the war

General Manekshaw planned every move very carefully and strategically, he created pressure on Pakistan Army very bravely and which resulted in the victory of India. The pictures of signature between Lt. Gen Arora and Lt. Gen Niyazzi are the best memory regarding the war. India won the war from every side, in air, water or land. Moreover, India defeated Pakistan Army in Eastern and Western fronts of the border.

Our Army created a nation for the sake of the native people. India could exaggerate the war and could do more harm for Pakistan, but after freeing Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, India concluded the war. Indian army was brave and humble; we have done big harm for the Pakistan in minimum sacrifice.

After winning the war, Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto signed Shimla agreement, which ensured the Independence of Bangladesh and returning of POW's. India treated all the POW's in strict relation with the Geneva-Convention, rule 1925. It released more than 90,000 Pakistani POW's within five months.

The agreement also gave back more than 13,000 km² of land that, Indian troops had seized in West Pakistan during the war, though India retained a few strategic areas. However, some in India felt that the treaty had been too merciful to Bhutto, who had begged for leniency, arguing that the fragile democracy in Pakistan would crumble if Pakistanis took the agreement as being overly harsh and that he would be, accused of losing Kashmir in addition to the loss of East Pakistan.

This day is to remind the sacrifice and bravery of Indian Army. I want to say that we love you; you have made us proud every time, Indian Army. You are the best, whenever we need you-you are always there for us! Thanks
