A Big Blunder Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Insurgents came from Burma camp
Attacked bordering soldiers in Manipur
Killed eighteen
And fled to Burma again.

Assam Rifles, the guard of Manipur border
Had no clue of this incident
So tried to digest it
It was the failure of Indian intelligence
From military and civil both.

To save the face of Indian Arm Force
Army executed a surgical attack
On the rebel's camp inside Burma
Just after five days
As America attacked Laden in Pakistan.

Army believes... they killed 83 rebels
And published photographs
In social networking site as proof
And restored their Aan-Baan-shaan.

But Army did not think
It may reveal the identity of commandos
It's not only a mistake...
A big blunder.
