ttbn,

Dyer was in command but he was not the only officer present. Nor were the Gurkhas the only troops, but it is claimed that many of the other Indian Army soldiers did not fire into the crowd but over their heads.

runner,

I forgot that strictly speaking, I have been to Pakistan, in fact, I was in Bangladesh for a short period whilst it was still part of Pakistan but I've never been to Pakistan proper.

Philip S.,

Please explain.

I still don't understand what the problem is.

I am not going to waste my time explaining it to you when you can read for yourself.

First hit the ( all ) icon.
Then read what ttbn has written.
Don't read my first comment (it is only direct from an article).
After that read comments ttbn, Paul1405 and mine.

If you still don't understand come back with specific questions.

Is Mise,

Dyer was responsible for the atrocity, and atrocity it was, against peaceful protesters. How he was allowed to retire with no consequences, even in that era, is beyond me.

Philip,

I honestly don't know whether Paul is a liar or completely insane. His rants are out of all proportion to the opinions posted by anyone he disagrees with. I can imagine him screeching and foaming at the mouth as he belts out his unreasonable and totally disjointed ‘responses’ - everyone is a 'racist’, a 'homophobe’, an ‘Islamophobe’, a 'misogynist’, a Nazi’, even when the people he vilifies have not said a word about race, homosexuality, Islam, women or politics. Any subject anyone mentions cops a barrage of his favourite abuse words if he disagrees with them.

I don't want to say another word to him or about him. He turns my stomach. I wonder how many people that we don't know about are deterred by him from from expressing opinions on OLO.

ttbn, //I referred to Muslims only as a very small minority, along Christians and Jain's living in the Punjab. I did not mentioned the religion of the two subjects of this thread.//

You only looked that up after Is Mise had alerted you to the fact in a comment to runner //How do you know that the couple referred to are not Christians// Its my bet that in your ignorance you thought the Punjab was full of Muslims, so its likely this pair would be Muslim, maybe they are. runner thinks the Punjab is in Pakistan which is full of Muslims.

You seem to be rather fragile, my little petal. I only call the likes of you out, for what you are. There are many hateful comments posted on the forum aimed at homosexuals, women, Muslims, refugees, liberals etc, some made by you. I don't see you calling out those that make such hateful remarks.

It's now become clear as to why all the fuss.
Thanks Paul for explaining.
I now understand.
