The Statue of Unity is a tribute to the Iron Man of India in recognition of his role to unify India into what it is today rather than 565 independent states under Maharajas which the Britishers intended to leave for us. The Statue is located near Bharuch down stream of Narmada river over looking the Sardar Dam. It is to soon become a place of International tourism where a visit is worth the journey and effort.

Claude Arpi salutes Major B K Pant and his fighting force of 112 men, 82 of whom lost their lives in the Battle of Namkha Chu, and whose courage must never ever be forgotten by a grateful country for who they laid down their lives.

MODI'S MEDITATION

 Modi Meditating - Defining Moment of This Election?

The picture of Modi sitting in the cave with his eyes closed, meditating reminded me of a picture from another era from childhood. It is that of Swami Vivekananda sitting on the last rock in the ocean facing the vast sky before India. I imagined then and do so now how they both would face infinity, sitting alone. Two solitary men, in search of answers, the first who spread the glory of Indian civilization to the world and the other, his disciple who was influenced by him to follow his footsteps a hundred years later.

SEVENTIES - CRUCIAL AGE - LIVE LONGER

● To have Long Life, the 10 years from 70 to 79 years old are crucial! 
 Israeli scholars have found that 70-79 years old is a dangerous period. During this period, various organs decline rapidly. It is a frequent period of various geriatric diseases, and it is often prone to hyperlipemia, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes.
After entering the age of 80, these diseases will decline, and the mental and physical health may return to the level of 60-69 years old.

*Cholesterol* is finally officially removed from Naughty List. The  US government has finally accepted that *cholesterol* is not a _nutrient of concern_. *doing a U-turn* on their warnings to us to stay away from high-cholesterol foods since the 1970s to avoid heart disease and clogged arteries.

Independent Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar is a member of Parliament's Standing Committee on Defence and tells Nalin Mehta why he thinks armed forces have been treated unfairly and why this matters:

I have deliberately put my name on the article as I am fed-up with anonymity.....makes me feel like a coward!! 21 years in the Army and having had the good fortune of facing bullets and Near-death experiences several times in life.... should I logically be scared of the Army hauling me up for voicing the truth?

BETRAYAL BY INDIRA - ARMED FORCES

Breaking: What Was The Biggest Betrayal by Indira Gandhi to our Armed Forces???Tuesday, 14 Aug, 2.59 pm

After the 1971 war, the entire country was rejoicing and celebrating the win of India over Pakistan. This war was considered one of the greatest which changed the geography of the sub continent. The war which earned the title Durga to Indira Gandhi! The armed forces were feted everywhere and appreciated for their impeccable service and courage. Although our country lost 4000 soldiers and 10,000 were wounded and scared for life, the pain was masked in the victory of the country. They had to co
ntinue their life in the forbidding world.

BONUS ARMY - WW-1 US-VETERANS WHO MARCHED FOR PAY

BONUS ARMY (US-VETERANS)

The Bonus Army was the name applied a group over 17,000 U.S  WW1 veterans who marched on Washington, D.C. during the summer of 1932 demanding immediate cash payment of the service bonuses promised to them by Congress eight years earlier.

WHY THE BONUS ARMY MARCHED
Most of the veterans marched on the Capitol in 1932 to protest against the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924 promised to them, but not until 1945 -- a full 27 years after the end of the war they had fought in. Something like the OROP and downgrading of the military protocol being junked by successive Indian Govts. False promises.

Last week was my turn to face the reality of a Mai-Baap Sarkaarand its "Officers". It was particularly galling because I was not really expecting it.

SOLDIER'S HONOUR WEAKENS - FACTORS

Civil-Military Relations: Let's Not Weaken the Corporate Character of Our Forces

 *_Indian military gives great value to the concept of honour. If officers and men feel under-privileged it could weaken this edifice. Putting out tweets and spending time with soldiers are great gestures but not enough to assuage the angst._* 
 *Lt Gen (Retd) DS Hooda* 

Two groups are today dominating discussions about civil-military relations in India. The first group is the veterans who continue to protest over the definition of OROP. Recent images of soldiers and their wives being pushed and shoved into police vans has again brought into focus their long-standing demand. The second is a group of junior officers from the services who think that their career interests have been ignored and have gone to the Supreme Court. Grant of NFU to the military is another case pending in the same court.

Do Medicines Really Expire or Are we taken for a ride?

Does the expiration date on a bottle of a medication mean anything?
If a bottle of Tylenol, for example, says something like "Do not use after June 1998," and it is August 2002, should you take the Tylenol? Should you discard it? Can you get hurt if you take it? Will it simply have lost its potency and do you no good.

HOW CAN FORCES BE RELEVANT IN INDIA

HOW CAN DEFENCE FORCES BECOME RELEVANT IN MODI'S INDIA?
The number one Law of Power is "never outshine the master judgement." This is enumerated in a bestselling and widely read book, "The 48 Laws of Power (1998)", by American author Robert Greene.
Why have the defence forces become so powerless in our country in spite of wielding most of the weapons? It is common to hear in the gathering of the armed forces officers that the bureaucrats have marginalised the defence forces and that their status is being eroded continuously. The forces also complain against the politicians for their lack of knowledge about the military affairs and their apparent distrust of defence forces. It is assumed that the politicians are gradually reducing the relevance and status of defence forces to emphasise civilian control and to preclude any chance of military takeover of the government.

HAPPY OLD AGE ?


HAPPY OLD AGE
Amidst the gloom & doom scenario, Happiness seems to be from a different world. But old age does and can bring happiness: Ike
Jonathan Rauch reports in his book The Happiness Curve, published in May. Life satisfaction appears to follow a U-shaped course, with its twin peaks in childhood, when the world is one great theme park, and in old age, when we've been on all the rides a thousand times and are perfectly content just to watch. It's in the middle—our 40s and 50s, when our power, potential and productivity are the greatest and we should be feeling our happiest—that life satisfaction bottoms out.

Second, to enhance funds in the Capital Account for modernisation, by reducing expenditure under the Revenue Account.

The nation condemned this killing and rightly so. No one deserves to die the way LtUmarFayyaz died. A million Candles were lit. A full course of  National Defense Academy organised a solidarity march in memory of the young officer. Eulogies were sung and the youngster all of 22 was declared a Martyr. A role model for all youngsters to follow. An example to be emulated

MORAL COURAGE - FD MARSHAL MANEKSHAW


*Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, as quoted from his own speech to the Officers of DSSC, Wellington, on 11th November 1998, regarding the real meaning of 'Moral Courage':-*

*" Ladies and Gentlemen, I do not know which of these is more important. When I am talking to young officers and young soldiers, I should place emphasis on physical courage. But since I am talking to this gathering, I will lay emphasis on Moral Courage.*

 *What is moral courage? Moral courage is the ability to distinguish right from wrong and having done so, say so when asked, irrespective of what your superiors might think or what your colleagues or your subordinates might want. A 'yes man' is a dangerous man. He may rise very high, he might even become the Managing Director of a company. He may do anything but he can never make a leader because he will be used by his superiors, disliked by his colleagues and despised by his subordinates. So shallow– the 'yes man'.*

          *I am going to illustrate from my own life an example of moral courage.*

We were on a train travelling from Berne to Geneva in the autumn of 1980. "Indian?" he asked. "Yes" I replied. We got talking. He was an official in the UN and was returning to home and headquarters at Geneva. I was scheduled to lecture at the university. We chit-chatted for a while; he gave me some useful tips on what to see and where to eat in the city. Then, having exhausted the store of 'safely tradable information', we fell silent. I retrieved my book – 'Defeat into Victory', an account of

THE BUREAUCRACY AND THE ARMED FORCES IN INDIA


THE BUREAUCRACY AND THE ARMED FORCES IN INDIA -– A CASE OF PEN** ENVY?
             If there are any kings in a democracy, it is our bureaucrats. Hope the essence of this article below also reaches the balanced, patriotic elements in our bureaucracy. The author, Kishore Asthana, (an IIM A aluminus of 1972 batch), as a man any one  would LOVE to interact with.
He just happens to be NCR Mensa head as well... 
           Imagine two branches of service in the Government of India. The two branches are different in substance and in the perception of the citizens. One branch has its halo effect and is considered both glamorous and praiseworthy in public perception. The other branch is often pejoratively titled "babudom".
 Now consider the following points:

OWNERSHIP - CONCEPT UNDER CHANGE

*Why young people don't buy cars and apartments anymore*
        Nowadays, the traditional measure of success — owning an apartment and/or a car — is out of date. An increasing number of young people around the world don't want to buy them.
Research shows that the so-called millennial generation, who are now 30-35 years old, rarely buy houses and even more rarely — cars. In fact, they don't buy super expensive things at all. In the USA, people under the age of 35 are called 'the generation of renters.'
Why does this happen?
Some sociologists say the current generation of young people differs from their parents' generation. They have different values.The youth today has reconsidered the concept of success, which means: Successful people don't buy property — they rent.

BATTLES WITH TIMES - VIETNAM

 

 

 

 

There are some events that can be understood only with the perspective oftime. The war in Vietnam is one. It was June 21, 1989, and I was interviewing a diminutive man with four stars on the epaulets of his dark green uniform shirt. We were talking in what had once been the mansion of a French colonial governor in Hanoi. The man was Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, theVietnamese military genius who had led his country to victory, first

In the Budget 2017, a new provision was inserted, making the quoting of Aadhaar number mandatory in the application form the for PAN. Also, effective from 1st July 2017, it is mandatory to quote your Aadhaar number while filing IT Return.

Also, whoever trying to apply the new PAN, must first have Aadhaar card. Otherwise, the existing PAN cards will be treated as invalid.

       The Kashmir Valley has become a warzone today because of radical Islam. This is the exact same genre of Islam that caused the terrorist attack in Paris last week. And the exact same genre that lies at the root of all jihadi terrorist attacks. Until we admit this, we cannot begin to talk of peace. Just as it is impossible to defeat the worldwide jihad as long as moderate Muslims continue to support it, albeit inadvertently, for reasons of piety, faith and community, so will it be impossible to defeat the jihad in Kashmir. The violent mobs that abuse security personnel on the streets of Srinagar are made up of small boys and youths who are too young to understand politics but who have been bred on their difference from other Indians for reasons of faith.
 

NATIONAL FLAG FLIES OWING TO SACRIFICES BY MARTYRES

THE NATIONAL FLAG DOES NOT FLY BECAUSE OF THE WIND........ IT FLIES .....
  There was a boy called Ayush Yadav.  He was a field Captain in the Indian Army.  You can tell a service officer, that they are different from others when they stand in a group of boys of the same age.  It is not the hair cut that stands out.  It is the honour that the uniform brings that makes them stand out.  When most boys of their age are refining their resumes for a job, these boys chose a life that  embeds honour as a way of life.  
    Honour in uniform
    Honour in society
    Honour to stand guard for the motherland
    Honour in being a soldier.
    Our uniform portrays purpose, duty and makes you responsible to the trust that the 125 crore people bestow  in us.  That trust is a very big purpose to bear.  


COPS ARE NOT SOLDIERS

CONSTABLES (COPS)AND SOLDIERS
Sent by a retired Army Officer who has flown choppers for a number of years, while in the Army and later, in support of Anti-Naxal operations...
----------------------------------------------
    Please forgive me for Ruffling any "Nationalist" Feathers but I am Upset at the CRPF being called variously as : "Troops" and "Soldiers"...    All these fellows serving with CPOs (Central Police Organisations)  as they are known, are *Police (Constables), and Not Military (Soldiers)*. They copy the Military in Appearance. Denigrate the Military at Every Opportunity, but they are nowhere close to being as Capable and Effective as the Military... Our Media needs to learn this difference between a soldier and a constable. Similarly theu must also know the difference between an army officer and a police officer including the so called elite Indian police Service!
