It is chewed for its stimulant and psychoactive effects. After chewing it is either spat out or swallowed. Paan has many variations. Slaked lime (chunnam) paste is commonly added to bind the leaves. Some South Asian preparations include katha paste or mukhwas to freshen the breath. (Source: Wikipedia.)
It comes in varieties :
Benarasi
Meetha

Maggai
Numbered Paans with tobacco

How India won the 1971 War against Pakistan- Read this smart plot

War is not only fought on the battle fields. The preparations for an attack or the defence strategies are constantly framed, and modified according to the moves of the oppositions.  Espionage helps collect data strategizing. Knowing the moves of opposition beforehand has changed the course of the war, and hence paving way for a restructuring in geographies. History has witnessed valiant espionage efforts during both the world wars. Even the encounters of agency like Mossad have been laudable. Israeli forces banked upon Mossad to stamp their authority over the Arabs in wars since 1948.

Unlike the agencies of other states, very few facts about India’s premier intelligence agency RAW is known. Books and declassified records of such intelligence modus operandi are slowly surfacing nowadays. The book “The Kaoboys of R & AW” opened up a pandora’s box.

Spy stories are interesting, even romantic. Although not as dramatic as shown in movies, the heroics throw the common man in awe.

The 1965 war was incomplete in terms of resolution of issues and it was always evident that another war was always just around the corner. Both the sides were eager to lock their horns. East Pakistan was a troubled state with authoritarian rule of West Pakistan, and did not have a significant representation in the parliament. The Army feared the popularity of Mujib Ur-Rehman and tried hard to suppress his political ambitions. India sensed an opportunity to fragment the enemy and create a friendly state. This would ensure that only one side of the border was a burning frontier.

The pre-preparations for the 1971 war involved one such remarkable incident, unknown to many. It was a shrewd ‘Vazir Chaal’ by Smt. Indira Gandhi to stamp her authority in the political circles of South Asia and also fortify her chair back home. She seemed to have taken a leaf out of the Six Day War- wherein Israel in its’ preparations had hijacked a Mig Plane from Iraq.

This is what exactly had happened. Pakistan used to send resources for the army using the civil route, that passed through the Indian air space. Other routes were long and exerted constraints on the pockets.

The D-date was January 30, 1971. An Indian Airlines Fokker F27 Friendship aircraft named Ganga was hijacked by two Kashmiri citizens, Hashim Quereshi and his cousin Ashraf Butt.

Ganga was one of the oldest aircraft in the Indian Airlines fleet and was already withdrawn from service but was re-inducted days before the hijacking. Ganga was readied for its’ final sojourn. This was the ultimate flight. The entire plot was planned by RAW. The hijacker,  Hashim was a RAW agent, an ex-BSF officer. The travellers were all Indian services personnel or their family members. 

As expected, Pakistan was not aware of the hijack operation. The drama reached its’ crescendo when Hashim contacted Lahore air base seeking permission to land the hijacked plane on Pakistan soil.

It was never difficult for Hashim and Ashraf to convince the then foreign minister and future prime minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The strong case of seeking world attention to Kashmir problem was evident. It was perceived to be a blow to India, which was already interfering into East Pakistan (Now Bangladesh).

Bhutto himself welcomed Hashim at Lahore. However, under pressure from India, all the passengers were released  and the aircraft was destroyed.

This gave India, the chance to enforce a curfew for Pakistan flights over the Indian air-space. The supplies to East Pakistan was a burden now. The effect- Pakistan overall lost East Pakistan territory due to insufficient and untimely supplies from the mother nation.

Pakistan realized this soon and arrested Hashim and Butt. Hashim was given a 13 year jail term by Pakistan court.

RAW has always maintained a diplomatic stand on this chapter. It has neither denied nor accepted the fact that the hijack was planned.
