Oh this was in the Naval section, it was listed as "Anti ship missile" there is another one next to it with similar name C802A, but it was smaller and had a seeker radar on front/tip (half the body was transparent to show insides)
On our independence day's occasion, bit of background of how did it happened.
By RICHARD S. EHRLICH
NEW DELHI, India -- The late Lord Louis Mountbatten said he would not have partitioned the subcontinent into India and Pakistan if he had known Pakistan's 'psychopathic' independence leader was about to die of tuberculosis, a book released Wednesday said.
More than 1 million Hindus and Moslems were slaughtered as a result of the partitioning when nationalistic religious riots erupted on both sides of the British-drawn border in August 1947.
In the book, 'Mountbatten and the Partition of India,' Mountbatten also expressed the belief that Pakistan would cease to exist without American aid.
In an interview with authors Larry Collins and Dominue La Pierre before his death in 1981, Mountbatten was asked if he knew the Pakistani independence leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, was dying of tuberculosis in 1947.
'Not only was I not aware, but nobody was aware,' Mountbatten replied. 'Nobody had a clue. I'm glad I didn't because I just don't know what I would have done if I'd known that.'
The book further recounts the interview. 'I am asking myself this question now,' Mountbatten was quoted as saying. 'Would I have said, let's hold India together and not divide it? Would I have put back the clock, and held the position? Most probably.'
Largely due to Jinnah's demand for a separate Moslem nation, the subcontinent was partitioned into Pakistan and India when the British granted it independence in August 1947.
Mountbatten described Jinnah as a 'bastard' during the interview.
In Mountbatten's previously unpublished 'personal reports' penned on April 17, 1947, he wrote:
'I regard Jinnah as a psychopathic case. In fact until I had met him I would not have thought it possible that a man with such a complete lack of administrative knowledge, of sense of responsibility, could achieve or hold down so powerful a position,' according to the book.
During the interview with the authors, Mountbatten said of modern Pakistan, 'If it weren't for the Americans giving (Pakistan) enormous aid, they couldn't continue to exist. They're finished the day America withdraws her aid. I don't see how they can survive.
'Even with an army, an air force, they'll be completely at the mercy of India. All this I tried to explain to Jinnah.'
this will get political, but mountbatten was an asshole, he did everything he could including cutting off punjab-bengal and other border issues so that the most 'bad hand' could be dealt and India could 'reabsorb' pakistan back in a few years, This went even further when it came to dividing the various resources and machines/factory equipment.
Meanwhile over the years I have legit heard indian intelligentsia claim that 'Brits only created Pakistan to hinder indias Rise to power'
'America only helped Pakistan to counter soviet union and to counter India' ???
Now they say the same thing about China (and usa again after the recent change in us), they cant accept that Pakistan was made for its people.
For years Jinnah was not Pro independence because he kept believing that Nehru would give the concessions and law changes he wanted,legal guarantee that muslims wont get treated badly in india.They didnt budge an inch,he only changed his tune in like last 8 or so years to become Pro-independence and separate nation.
Jinnah said it well "We Eat what they Worship"(cows)
its gone up from 5 to 6/7 now.
The way POTUS is going, it will be very hard for our neigbours to save the face.
Not only that there is something even more insidious that was going on with last viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten, but its better that its written in Indian thread on 15th of August.
