Wake up everyday and get frustrated with every single thing around. That's our life bois.

Na Prthiviraj ne serious lia…na aj k Gangu ram teli ne..!!

I disagree with the second point. Respectfully

They are better trained bro.

North eastern millitants dont consider them a militant ..they think they are an Army.

They have ranks and even go for courses in Myanmar where they are trained by chinese and burmese.

They have leave system.

Morally they are even better than most armies as they dont touch women and children.

Ask any Army man he will rate them above Kashmiri or Paki terrorists.

They have more operational discipline and overall tactical awareness as well. Most of the those militants were born in the bush and spent their childhoods hunting with sticks - their survival skills are not ideological its part of their habitat.

I agree with most but maybe not the family part. Why did they ambush and kill Col Viplav's family?

P.S. The same militants were killed by Major Dig Rawat, KC

I am not aware of this incident..please share.

I am not aware of this incident..please share.

Col Viplav Tripathi, who was a CO of a AR regiment was traveling in his convoy with his kid and wife. PLA cadres ambushed from both sides, killed everyone. It was brutal.

Did they know women and chidren were there in the convoy?

Please tell me how we avenged the killing of Col Viplav's family? I have no pity, mercy or any sympathies for these PLA cadres or Maoists. They need to be wiped off the earth without delay or mercy.

They have more operational discipline and overall tactical awareness as well. Most of the those militants were born in the bush and spent their childhoods hunting with sticks - their survival skills are not ideological its part of their habitat.

This is why Major Sahani often preferred to have North Eastern operators in his team. Nearly 60% of his patrol and strike group comprised individuals from that region. Their upbringing in the local terrain gave them an unmatched awareness, enabling them to avoid numerous IEDs during his tenure. These operators had an almost instinctive sense of the land, far surpassing their counterparts from the northern regions.

 

[IWIarad11]

Guess so. Their intel is on point usually

Not sure entirely but guess 21 para took the revenge. Kaise lia uske liye toh Maj Rawat se puchna padega.

true even Col Hunny Bakshi said this and he's seen both of these terrorists. Major Sapru on the other hand has fought all of them in their prime...including the LTTE. Definitely the LTTE were the big leagues and if Indian army wants to learn it's lesson the hard way sadly they need to fight a similar force again

Also to add on to your points, North Eastern fellows have been hunters and are expert trackers since childhood + fighting on their own turf soil...even politically they are better organized. Kashmir mei on the other hand the only fighting men were Dogra, the rest were Sufis...at large....the use of foriegn insurgents to motivate young kashmiris has been since 1947 and especially after Soviet Afghan war ended. Kashmir has a huge drug problem also.

The thing is that the North Eastern militants might be better organized , but they still don’t have the same level of training as paki mujahids nor experience. Also not entirely sold in the china part. Maj Gen bakshi himself considers NE to be a insurgency while J and K from phase 97-03 to have been a proxy war.

Do remember in the early90s all the way till mid to even late 00s many of the paki terrorists had expereince fighting in Soviet Afghan war, they were directly funded and trained by one of the largest insurgencies.

However, I can say that north eastern militants have managed to get KIA of ours in double digits at least three times since 1980 (1982 ambush on sikh regiment, 1994 ambush on 16 maratha LI, 2015 ambush), but then again, historically North Eastern miltiants often surrendered in large groups when defeat was eminent.

Naxals are superior to even NE militia boys if we can discount the .303s .Have been following some Kuki and Meiti militants in insta.Just like you said they consider themselves as military.Can’t blame them for their rebellious tendencies though for historical or cultural reasons

They view themselves more as a professional military than as revolutionaries, which is why they sign treaties and surrender as a unified group. They don’t see their cause as something worth dying for in a suicidal manner; it’s a completely different mindset. Since they believe their struggle is primarily political, they know it could dissolve if public support fades, though that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.

This is the clearest explanation I’ve encountered so far......

"It would be reasonable to assess and hope that with the death of Isak Swu in 2016, and the squeezing of the NSCN(K) by security forces from both India and Myanmar, the insurgency is in its final phase. However, tribal and ethnic loyalties are still deeply rooted and will be the biggest stumbling blocks in developing a cohesive Naga identity and reaping the benefits of economic prosperity. Contrary to public perception that China no longer looms large onthe north-east horizon with its support for the Naga secessionist movement, there is still a free flow of arms from southern China into Nagaland and Manipur. Bibhu Prasad Routray, a security analyst with a focus on tracking terror and insurgent networks, argues in a recent piece that Beijing could well be ‘gradually unveiling a grand design to revive the battered (north-east) insurgencies’. Going on to highlight rather alarmingly, he cautions,‘Provision of safe houses, supply of weapons and even playing a more prominent role in directing attacks on security forces could be emerging as Beijing’s instrumentalities to disturb peace in the fragile north-east.’ Clearly, there is little room for the security forces to let their guard low."

(PS: Thanks @Binayak95 for the recommendation, my favourite book on Indian millitary history so far)

So the main takeaways are...(about the NE insurgency)

• It's an older politcial struggle
• The are trained in hunting and jungle tracking since childhood
• They think of themselves as semi nation states already (big time delulu but works on them)
• Good infrastructure and proper care of the NE states and it's people can help take away much support from them....but not with current laws which still protect tribal identities which often times they see bigger than their Indian identity so here's the point about tribal loyalties and seeing everyone else as outsiders
• Even if it is brought down....China will be despirate to bring about revolution and keep funding
• India's position between the golden traingle and golden crecent of drug trafficing brings about weapons and human trafficing concerns too, especially in the north east
• India's undermanned narcotics control bureau and lack of balls or intent to go on and do war on drugs like the US did in Honduras, El Salvador and Bolivia (which at the time had an insurgency and threat to US borders). Dont confuse it with Columbia and Mexico please
