“Nehru was being told by both the British and the Americans that any formula that was worked out would necessitate India giving a large share of concessions to Pakistan. The logic being put forward was that while Nehru had the charisma to carry India with him, Ayub would have a hard time convincing his people as to why Pakistan was giving up on its claim on parts of J&K.”

“If a man was killed by lightning, they said it was an act of God and not attributable to military service, so his dependents got no pension, regardless that the man had to remain at a place, and by the very nature of his duties, exposed to lightning. Frost bite and death by exposure were declared non-attributable by these financial caretakers, and their idiocy wasn’t challenged. If a man fell down a hill on a dark night and broke limbs which could not be healed in time for him to resume duties within 60 days, he was put on half pay.”
