A SAD DEVELOPMENT

A sad development. 

Recently a friend from the 41st course NDA, had gone back to Khadakwasla with his batch mates to welcome the 141st course. A nice (but newish) tradition. 

After interacting with the cadets and confirming his findings with the Academy Adjutant, he had the following to report. 

1) Not even one cadet from any of the 7 Southern States TN, Kerala, Pondy, AP, Telangana, Karnataka and Goa) This one I can not explain or understand. 

2) No cadets from Gujarat (so what’s new) 

3) Only one cadet each from Maharashtra and Punjab. 

4) None from Assam, WB, Orissa. (He thinks that there was one from the seven sisters) 

5) Practically all the cadets were from UP, Jharkhand, Chatisgarh and Bihar with a sprinkling from Haryana and Rajasthan. 

6) No Parsi’s, no Christians. (He didn’t have data on Muslim cadets) 

7) 70% plus of the cadets were sons of JCOs and ORs. 

Whilst I’m sure that they will all make great officers, and will lead from the front and do us proud, this scares me. 

I paraphrase the historian Gibbons (I think) who said that the first sign of a culture in decline was 

“when the sons of its leaders (political, military and business) shied away from that culture’s armed forces.” 

This Country, including all of us, have some thinking to do.

TERRORISTS ARE BORN TO BE KILLED

[19/06 13:54] A N Roy Col: I firmly beleive terrorists are born to be killed & they do not deserve any rights, forget human rights. Serving defence forces personnel at disturbed area should be beyond questioning by supreme court and law to that effect should be enacted in  Our Indian parliament!

A Great Feedback From an Army Veteran on Supreme Court's Order on Human Rights in Kashmir

An Army veteran, who lost a family member to a militant’s bullet, has raised an agonising poser to the Supreme Court, “How much do you know about the brutality of war?

How many of you have sent your progeny to the armed forces?

Have you ever lost a family member in the defence of the country?

Do you know the pain of losing a young son or having a widowed daughter or seeing your grandchildren grow up without their father?
If not, please do not impede our war effort. Human rights sound very nice when you and your families are safely ensconced in secure air-conditioned homes but not when you are facing bullets and stone of a unruly religious fanatic mob.”

Applying the Court directions to the Pulwama incident, an FIR will be lodged against Gunner Rishi Kumar who risked his life and killed two terrorists despite being hit on his headgear.

Police investigations will carry on for years haunting him even when posted to other places in India.

 Courts will issue summons and demand his presence. He will be accused of depriving the ‘innocent’ jihadis of their human rights and asked to justify the killings.
He will be queried, Are you sure they were terrorists? They did not kill you, why did you kill them?
He will be asked  "Did you give them adequate opportunity to surrender and reform themselves?"  Did you give them a fair chance to escape? Did you fire warning shots in the air?"

Instead of lauding his bravery, he will be subjected to judicial witch-hunt. What a disgrace for the nation!

Subjecting active military operations to judicial review is an outlandish idea. Whereas all nations empower their soldiers to vanquish enemies of the state, India takes pride in shackling them.

While addressing the U.S. Naval Academy in April 2010, Secretary of Defence Robert M Gates of USA had said, “ You have answered the trumpet call. For my part, I consider myself personally responsible for each and every one of you as though you were my own sons and daughters. And when I send you in harm’s way, as I will, I will do everything in my power to see that you have what you need to accomplish your mission – and come home safely."

Apparently, India’s Supreme Court thinks differently. Human rights of the enemies of the state appear to be far more important than the security of the country.

Finally, as a serving officer commented wryly, “The Supreme Court has given us two options – get killed and the country will honour your martyrdom or
kill the terrorist and face police/judicial investigations for years."

His apprehensions are genuine and shared by the most. Wonder which soldier will look forward to serving in such antagonistic environment!

Appeal to All Indians:-
However, Let us all make this a People's movement so that the Supreme Court will Reconsider the issue and Appreciate its gravity.
We cannot Fight for India on borders but We can Fight for our Soldiers Betterment from the safety of our homes.

हम सब के लिए,  हमारे भारत देश के लिए, भारतीय सेना द्वारा बहाए गए खून के एक कतरे का कर्ज उतारना चाहते हैं तो--Please forward it to minimum 10 of your Friends.
Jai Hind

Airlines Set To Introduce Standing Seats For Budget Fliers!

An Italian flight interior organization, Aviointeriors, have structured SkyRider seats or standing seats for another ‘Ultra-Basic Economy’ class on planes. Otherwise called saddled seats, Aviointeriors first showcased these in 2010 to enable aircrafts to crush in more travelers for less expensive airfare. 

As indicated by reports, no airline companies repurchased the seats at that point however at this point it appears that spending aircrafts, for example, Europe’s Ryanair must be intrigued and it is conceivable they may introduce them on their planes. 

The organization as of late introduced another adaptation of the seats named SyRider 3.0 yet is as yet anticipating a purchaser for its first group to be sold. The new seats permit leg space of 23 inches, which is 7 inches less than a typical Economy situate and will likewise offer extra room that incorporates a snare to hang your coat or purse and a rack for the lightweight suitcase. 

One Twitter client censured the seats and composed: ‘What fresh hell for budget airline passengers’. But according to Aviointeriors, sitting on these standing seats is as comfortable as sitting on a horse-saddle. 

Last year, Aviointeriors introduced the SkyRider 2.0 at the Aircraft Interior Expo held in Hamburg, Germany, while this year there is a newer version of these ‘seats’, the SkyRider 3.0. The seats are said to help airlines to maximise their revenue by allowing squeezing in more passengers on the flight. If this happens, then soon you will have a standard economy, premium economy or business class and ultra-basic economy in the same cabin making air- travel more uncomfortable than now. Though, the company compared seating on the SkyRider as comfortable as horse riding for hours but it looks quite uncomfortable. 

However, this is not the first time that the idea of standing seats in an airplane has been floated. One ‘Skyrider’ version made its debut as early as 2010. But it still has no buyers. Stay tuned for further updates.

PUNJAB IS DIFFERENT

When Indira Gandhi ruled 18 states, PUNJAB wasn’t in those 18.

Now when Modi is ruling 19 states, PUNJAB isn’t in those .

When British ruled all over India PUNJAB was the last one to come under that rule and immediately started struggle for freedom.

In the freedom struggle against British, the contribution of Punjabis is more than 80%.

When Mughal ruled India and converted Hindus to Islam, one and only one Punjab stood against them and Guru Teg Bahadur Ji ( 9th Guru & father of Guru Gobind Singh ji ) laid down his life at Chandni Chowk in Delhi for their support & Guru Gobind Singh sacrificed all his four sons of the age of 7,9,14 & 17 years against the conversion to Islam.
 His Elder two sons (Sahibzade) sacrificed their lives in war against Mughals at Chamkaur Sahib(Pb) & younger two sons (Sahibzade) were bricked alive at Sirhand (Pb) by the  Mughal ruler of that State.

Even when Sikander conquered all, only King Porus of Punjab dared to stop him.

I salute to the river land -  PUNJAB

Today is Death Anniversary of one of the greatest emperors in Indian history, Sher-E-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh

Blinded in one eye, injured in one arm, yet built up the great Sikh empire.

United the disparate Sikhs into a kingdom and built an empire that covered Punjab, Kashmir, Ladakh, the entire North West.

Served by able men like Hari Singh Nalwa, Dewan Mokam Chand, Veer Singh Dhillon,  Zorawar Singh.

Also built a modern army, even recruited European officers to bring in the latest techniques of warfare. That’s why British Rulers couldn’t annex Punjab until he was alive. Because of him, Punjab was the last State which came under British rule in 1849.

But alas no one teaches about his legacy in India. 🇮🇳

Because of him, Punjab was the most literate state at that time. Even though he recruited European officers he ensured they followed a strict code of conduct, no beef, no smoking and no alcohol.

As a matter of fact, Ranjit Singh banned cow slaughter in his empire.

A devout Sikh, who never differentiated on religion. Both his court and army had equal number of Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims - a true secular king.

His Finance Minister was a Hindu Brahmin,
His Prime Minister was a Dogra,
His Foreign Minister a Muslim.
He also renovated the Golden Temple, gave it the gold plates, and gave equal amount of gold to then Hindus and Muslims too, for renovation of their shrines and temples.

Built Gurudwaras at Patna and Nanded, in honor of Guru Gobind Singh, both of which are considered among the Panch Takth.

A great warrior, an equally able and wise ruler, a truly great human being too.
 Ranjit Singh is the only king in the history of world to have conquered Afghans, which even modern militaries of USA and Russia couldn’t achieve, and eventually blocked entry of Mughals. 

AN ISRAELI ROCKET - MAY BE A REPEAT FOR SOME

What you are about to watch is an actual event. The Israeli Armed Forces filmed this in real time. What you'll see is a fully armored Syrian tank being hit by an Israeli laser-guided, steel-penetrating, phosphorous-filled "hand held" rocket.

The rocket is small, very portable and is a tightly controlled weapon. Each one is accounted for when they are checked out and back in. There must be no fewer than 2 soldiers present to verify the use, one must be a senior officer with a minimum of 10 years military service.. (the name and program is classified)

This tank was headed for one of Israel 's settlements. There were four more tanks one mile to the rear of this tank. They turned around before getting to this area after learning what had happened to the lead tank.

You can hear the ammunition going off after the initial strike. No Syrian tank crew member survived this event (pretty obvious) and it did not make the news.
