Just my thoughts. These guys must have gone to school over at the Charles De Gaulle. If these worthless pricks don't like what were doing let them help fix the problems. India has about 100 billion useless people and all they do is scream and yell about Pakistan. I have yet to see India do anything in this world to help out anyone else. Especially if it involves getting into a fight.

Yeah right,India helped give birth to the world's 4th largest Muslim nation(Bangladesh) in 1971,while all America did was whine on the side of Pakistan.If they think America hasn't had success in control the drug cultivation in Afghanistan,they have a point-afterall Afghanistan is effectively under American control.The same goes for the US saying about Mexico or Iran saying about Pakistan,where opium harvesting is rife.

Right after sept 11 India was the FIRST country to want to help the USA in spite of how badly the US has treated them. With the enormous prudence of this administration trying to heed Paki "sensibilities", Indian troops were NOT allowed to participate in Afghanistan. Now you are asking what have they done to help? The US shot itself in the foot by not letting the Indians help. Morons like you dont even know that.
India is also the largest troop contributer to the UN. Useless my foot!

There were over two and a half million Indian citizens in uniform during WWII. The Fifth Indian Division, for example, fought in the Sudan against the Italians, and then in Libya against the Germans. From North Africa the Division was moved to Iraq to protect the oilfields.
Over 36,000 Indian members of the armed forces were killed or went missing in action, and 64,354 were wounded during the second world war. Indian personnel received 4,000 awards for gallantry, and 31 Victoria Crosses.
The land of India also served as an assault and training base, and provided vast quantities of foods and other materials to British and Commonwealth forces, and to the British at home. This necessitated the involvement of more millions of men and women in war work and war production.

I wouldn't call that doing nothing.
