[Assam] Soviet/Russian Invasions : Afhganistan, Georgia

[umesh sharma]

Hi,

In light of curent invasion of Georgia by Russia (erstwhile USSR/Soviet Union) I was wondering if anyone remembered Afghanistan invasion by USSR in 1978 - the year my fathher left(resigned ) Indian army to start a school. I was in 2nd grade - I think too young to  remember any country other then India.

I do remember the fall of USSR, I was in the process of going to college and saw history face-to-face. What they taught in economics and history book - USSR and Communist economic system's success (in Delhi Univ., JNU etc) was being negated in newspapers like the http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/  and the newsmedia.

Any comments?
