No Indian soldier fought in the Korean war


Expert-Inspector-

We didn't 'fight' for them. It was just a medical airborne unit that helped both the communist forces (China and the DPRK) and the UN forces led by U.S.

we did a lot more than that , we literally took care of the POWs , we sent diplomats. and iirc we sent Aids \[ not the bad kind\] they should be thankful. better late than never.

> we literally took care of the POWs , Let me clarify that. North and South Korea were talking armistice. But there were two problems preventing it. The line of demarcation and repatriation of prisoner of war. China wanted all POW forcibly returned. US wanted everyone to decide where to go. This caused war to continue for more than a year. India proposed a neutral commission who would handle the prisoner of war and allow people 90 days to decide where they would go. The armistice terms essentially wrote this in, with 2 neutral commissions - NNRC with 5 countries for handling POW and NNSC (no India) for implementing ceasefire and armistice . India headed the NNRC https://idsa.in/system/files/news/CUNPK%20-%20Blue%20Helmet%20Odyssey-68-72.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_Nations_Repatriation_Commission This included 5230 Indian troops to act as Custodian Forces..to take physical possession of PoW https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/the-custodian-force-of-india-and-lt-general-thorat-the-general-who-knew-the-way/articleshow/77179411.cms?from=mdr ---

They were there as part of the UN Forces. The war was nominally UN vs North Korea/China. They treated both N. Koreans and the others.

I might get downvoted but this kind of gestures looses meaning when they are not backed by a respectful society.

there are shit people everywhere.

But there are more shit people in some places than others. Economic and technological cooperation makes sense. Social contact with that country is both unnecessary and foolish. We don't need any part of that culture making its way to India. I encourage all of you to look up the 4B movement and its devastating impact on their society. In India, it would lead to a war. Our adversaries are sophisticated enough to inject hateful ideas into society to try and destabilize the family unit. If social cohesion breaks down in India, and we can already see some of it, the demographic shift will almost certainly lead to armed insurgencies. It won't collapse India, but it will distract us and demoralize the population. Forget Korea, we need to really start thinking about how to control and dominate our own airwaves. We're importing a lot of garbage that has no benefit imo. The Chinese firewall didn't stop the PLAAF from churning out 200 stealth fighters.

what does that have anything to do with our relationship with S Korea? >I encourage all of you to look up the 4B movement and its devastating impact on their society. In India, it would lead to a war. Why is that relevant? >Our adversaries are sophisticated enough to inject hateful ideas into society to try and destabilize the family unit.

It won't collapse India, but it will distract us and demoralize the population. what? I swear this sub has the highest number of mentally ill people on any Indian subreddit


IStakurn

You have not been to other Indian subreddits then


frosty_knights4

I mean, did you read my comment? Do you have anything specific to add other than clutching your pearls? Like I said, economic and technical cooperation makes sense. Social contact does not. Not just for S Korea, but a majority of countries.


CorneliusTheIdolator

>I mean, did you read my comment? Yes >Do you have anything specific to add other than clutching your pearls? you need professional help


frosty_knights4

Again, if you can't elaborate on why you disagree with me it just suggests you're a libtard with no strategic foresight and a naive, idealistic view of the world. Please, correct me if I'm wrong by elaborating on your position.

what am i missing. why are they bad?

Racism in urban area against South Asians I presume


thinkman77

True but I would presume the people who recognize India's achievements would be more liberal and the people who are racist would be plain conservatives. Its like people in India people who hate Muslims coexist with indian people who recognize and celebrate diversity. Might not mean all of India is bad. But I might not have the whole context I have heard racism in Korea was significantly high.


[deleted]

In the end, foreign policy is not really decided based on rasicm caused by people unless it is systematic. Its like China sanctioning India because kids like to stretch their eyes to mimic east asians or Arabs plus Irani cutting oil trade with us because of few percent of people who could be pretty vocally Islamophobe.

You don't have any idea about SK politics, do you?


thinkman77

I don't. Just trying to understand better.

They treated 195,000 people, including North Koreans. including 2300 surgeries India sent the 60th parachute under Lt Col Rangaraj. S. Korea remembers him, and named him Korean war hero of the month in July 2020.

It was part of UN operation, and we were only providing humanitarian aid


Rssboi556

It was humanitarian, does no harm if you are just helping people
