#1 If this comes to pass, the Indians should be quite liberal in reducing the number of tribesmen, say by 5.8 million.

#2 India remembers the tribesmen. What they did in 1947 will not be forgotten.

"Dirty, blood-stained, ill-kempt with ragged beards and hair; some carrying a blanket, most completely unequipped," wrote Father George Shanks, a missionary priest in Baramullah, describing the ill-disciplined tribal army as it entered the town.

They were armed "with rifles of Frontier make, double-barrelled shotguns, revolvers, daggers, swords, axes and her and there a Sten gun. Jostling one another, shouting, cursing and brawling, they came on in a never-ending stream".

The tribesmen ransacked the mission (raping many nuns), looted Muslim homes and businesses, and abducted Sikh girls and women.
