Cricket can get nasty: India v Pakistan rivalry boils over into cyber-war

The continuing rivalry between India and Pakistan has spilled over into cyberspace, with activity peaking around nationalist holidays and sports fixtures. A study of recent real-world events and hacktivist operations by threat intelligence firm Recorded Future highlights the varied motives behind online malfeasance. Events …

If we must have war, by all means let it be cyber

Well, as long as they don't burn down buildings and torch people in good old-fashioned riots or lob a few nukes over the border to demonstrate resilience in the face of insufferable insults, it's ok for me.

You ruled those land

Kashmir had the right to vote(according to British separation law) about which country to join. But Soviet backed India occupied it by killing millions. Since 1948, there isn't a single day when India don't kill at least 3 people in Kashmir.

Ahmedabad(the total Telengana state) once was an Independent country, well before India got independence. They even got the UN's primary membership before India. But after 3-4 years, India occupied it by tanks and bullets, killing 1 lakh people in just 1 night.

Almost same happened to Sikim, now another state of India.

We Bangladeshi people can't vote since last 8 years. India selected a puppet and if we make a sound against her injustice she shoots us. She destroyed our army, boarder guards, killed scholars, destroyed and paganised children's education syllebus just to make India happy. Hindus(who rules India) are 10% of our population but withing this 7-8 years, in Police they are now 34-36%, in govt. administrative offices 43%. Getting a govt. job is now almost impossible for us. She is now talking about deleting national border so that she can fulfill her mission and we again become servant of Indian Hindus as we once were. We just watch can silently cause when we make a sound she stages a fake battery-bomb attack and directly shoot us using that cause. She know she'll get all the western support she needs when she can stage an muslim "Terrorist" attack and she usually gets that. One is invincible when he got RAW and KGB as bodyguard and Mossad as advisor. There isn't a single day when India don't kill at least 5 human(they aren't if you don't count Muslims as human. Always almost of India's victims are Muslims. Sometime some Christian dies, but only when Indian Hindus think they too need to be taught them some respect) within Kashmir, India, Bangladesh. Who are terrorist? Before every big killing and looting, when there is no enemy, countries like USA, India gives birth some terrorist themselves to justify their upcoming works. Then they play this sympathy card to buy people's permission to start the mass murder. They have international media co-op to make lies true, we don't have that and nobody listens to our scream without us.

When you ruled our land you and Hindus were friend cause they were clever and we are dumb. They can sit with you and drink alcohol what we couldn't do. And you both had common animosity to one particular race. When you left you designed the map according to their will giving them every last thing you can. Not complaining about that. But I really hoped that after all these years, after all the killing using false excuses, after all many of us within now your own land, your position probably changed, atleast a bit..

Re: You ruled those land

So, is this the hogwash they fill you up with in Bangladesh? No wonder you guys have turned crazy over the years. You need to come out of the fantasy misery land that your politicians are pushing you into and wake up.

" Independence day (14 August) to anniversaries of the Mumbai attacks"

Getting to and too mixed up is one thing... but to and two? - How many Friday pints had Leyden downed before penning this? ;-)

I'm dyslexic, but even I can't make much sense of what's being said there. So I'm going to stop trying to parse it and go get another coffee. Mmm..... coofffeeee......
