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.
