A propos de cet article

Contents: Preface. 1. Prisoners of war: whose men they are? 2. POWs and politics. 3. MIS-X, E&E s covert plans rocked Hitler s boat. 4. South-east scenario: POWs and Vietnam war. 5. POWs-the US administrative view. 6. Operation big switch a big eyewash. 7. War consequences analysed, at last. 8. Indian POWs in Pakistan. Appendix:1. Geneva convention on the treatment of prisoners of war. "Why POWs meet such a sorry fate?

We ll bury you so deep that you won t stink." "Major Smith was fortunate enough to make it home, where his testimony became part of official record.

Later they lied to the hapless POWs families. "India s honor is none better. During 1971 was with Pakistan, India captured no less 93, 000 Pakistani soldiers, and released all of the POWs as part of deal after Shimla pact with Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, without troubling to take back all its 193 POWs, all high-ranking military officials who still are lodged in Pakistani prisons, and reduced to mere lunatics as result of barbaric torture. Even to the recent release of Rooplal, that came as result of ceaseless efforts by his family members, the Indian government was mere a spectator. So, is fighting for one s nation a thankless job?"
