And there are people in this country who want to Free Trade with these people....and give them H1B visas instead of hiring Americans.

I am sure all the Globalists are giving the salute and a loud “Sieg Heil” to their Indian comrades....

Oh, LOL!


It's one thing to read a silly book, and quite another to stretch that to say that Indians are Aryan / NAZI.

There are probably more skinheads / NAZI admirers in America than in India, if you care to investigate. Just Google KKK or 'StormFront'.

To turn your H1-B paranoia into an anti-India hatefest, is amusing, to say the least. Your prattle won't go far.

An Italian soldier surrenders to a Jawan, during Operation Crusader, of an unnamed Division and Regiment, on 08 December 1941. The purpose of Operation Crusader was two-fold; to relieve Tobruk and destroy the Afrika Korp. First part of the conflict was a success, the second a failure. The battle took place between the Egyptian border and El Agheila in Libya.

**************************************************************************************************************************

 

 

The 14th Army was a polyglot force, consisting of British, Australians, Canadians, South Africans, Burmese, Chinese, Africans and, chiefly, the Indian Army, the largest volunteer army in history.

 

All the time, the Allies were still determined to regain Arakan. After being beaten back twice, they succeeded at the third attempt, where the breathtaking bravery of so many of Slim's men played their part.
 

 

A company commander looking for a missing soldier at night bumped into a Japanese patrol. In a frenzy of hand-to-hand combat, he shot one man, then grabbed the little body and swung it round like a flail, knocking his other two assailants off a cliff.
 

Then there was Umrao Singh, in command of a forward field gun detachment, who came under sustained fire from guns and mortars. Twice wounded, and while firing a Bren gun, he directed the fire of the surviving gun on the target.
 

He held the gun pit until dawn, and was found face down in the mud surrounded by ten lifeless Japanese soldiers and holding a hand-spike he had used in hand-to-hand combat. Singh survived and was awarded the Victoria Cross.
 

Years later, living in penury on his Indian smallholding, he was told he could sell his VC for a good price. He replied indignantly that he would never sully the honour of his fallen comrades.
 

Yet still the Japanese came. The battles of Imphal and Kohima, fought in the spring of 1944 on the far northeastern border of India and Burma against three Japanese divisions, were the decisive battles of the Burma campaign.
 

Before Imphal, the Japanese general, Mutaguchi, was so confident of Japanese invincibility that he had arranged for 'comfort women' (mostly Korean women forced into prostitution) to be flown in after the victory.
 

The Japanese hurled themselves with desperate courage on the British positions, but they held firm. Days turned into months.
 

A Japanese Lieutenant, Taiso Nishikawa, wrote from the front line in his diary: 'If we do manage to capture a position, the enemy bombards it with mortars and bombs it from the air to a heart-shaking degree; so that those who have dug deep trenches are buried in them, and those who have dug shallow have their hands and feet blown away.'
 

Eventually, when he realised that what remained of his troops were no longer obeying his orders, Mutaguchi broke off the offensive. With 55,000 casualties, Imphal and Kohima represented the largest defeat in Japanese history.
 

In Europe, the D-Day landings had just been completed. In Burma, the road south to the strategically important city of Mandalay lay open. The tide had turned.

According to the article, sales in India reached 15,000 last year. According to Wikipedia, Americans buy more than 15,000 copies every year.

OK, lets see. India with a population of 1 billion buys 15,000. The US with a population of 300 million buys 15,000 copies a year. I'd make some point about your high horse, but quite honestly I'm too worried about the fact that 15,000 Americans would want to read this thing every year.

Haven't you heard of Henry Ford and other Captains of the industry who held Hitler in such a high regard that they provided funding (J.P. Morgan), weapons (Colt), oil, artificial rubber and chemicals (Standard Oil, DuPont), trucks and tanks (GM), adding machines (IBM) and many other things needed for his war machine. Perhaps Indian students want to learn how to attract American capital.
