1962 - TRAGEDY - MESSED UP

 How Nehru's proteges messed it up

Claude Arpi
This article is dedicated to all those who died during the 1962 Sino-Indian war; to those who suffered for months in the PoW camps in Tibet; to those who were humiliated for no fault of theirs; to their families.


Let us hope that what happened in 1962 will never happened again, prays Claude Arpi    

GEN HARBAKSH WHO SAVED PUNJAB - 1965

 The general who saved Punjab in the 1965 War

By Gurmeet Kanwal    September 7, 2015

Lieutenant General Harbakhsh Singh, GOC, Western Command, disobeyed the then army chief and took on a superior Pakistani armoured column. The Indian Centurion tanks outgunned the more modern Pakistani Patton tanks in the battle at Khem Karan, that proved the turning point of the 1965 War.

Brigadier Gurmeet Kanwal (retd) salutes the Soldiers' General.

Some war images stick permanently in the mind and that of Lieutenant General Harbakhsh Singh, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command, standing atop the Haji Pir Pass after its capture by India during the 1965 war with Pakistan, is one of them.

HOW CHINA PREPARED FOR 1962 WAR

 Revealed: How China prepared for 1962 war

Ajai Shukla    December 15, 2017

From March 1959 to March 1962, the PLA fought 12 major battles in central Tibet which was seen as an opportunity to train China's soldiers, notes Ajai Shukla.

In pathbreaking research into the Tibetan uprising between 1956 and 1959, and the lead-up to the 1962 war, Chinese scholar Jianglin Li has accessed Chinese Communist Party documents and interviewed People's Liberation Army veterans from that war to present critical new aspects of that period's history.


SALUTE - REZAG LA HEROES

 Why Every Indian Must Salute The Heroes of Rezang La       By KULPREET YADAV

It will never be possible to recreate an exact account of this epic battle to remember and honour other brave jawans, but one thing the nation will always do is to bow down their heads in respect and reverence at the war memorial at Chushul called The Rezang La War Memorial -- Ahir Dham.

Visiting the Rezang La Memorial, one has a feeling of super-humans defending Indian territory against the Chinese onslaught, says Claude Arpi on the 60th anniversary of the heroic battle of the 1962 War.

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to interview one of the most renowned Indian mountaineers, who had chosen to live like local folks in the Himalaya.

KAIDARNATH - केदारनाथ मंदिर

केदारनाथ मंदिर एक अनसुलझी पहेली  है I 

केदारनाथ मंदिर का निर्माण किसने करवाया था इसके बारे में बहुत कुछ कहा जाता है। पांडवों से लेकर आदि शंकराचार्य तक। 

आज का विज्ञान बताता है कि केदारनाथ मंदिर शायद 8वीं शताब्दी में बना था।

यदि आप ना भी कहते हैं, तो भी यह मंदिर कम से कम 1200 वर्षों से अस्तित्व में है।

 केदारनाथ की भूमि 21वीं सदी में भी बहुत प्रतिकूल है।

एक तरफ 22,000 फीट ऊंची केदारनाथ पहाड़ी, दूसरी तरफ 21,600 फीट ऊंची कराचकुंड और तीसरी तरफ 22,700 फीट ऊंचा भरतकुंड है।

इन तीन पर्वतों से होकर बहने वाली पांच नदियां हैं मंदाकिनी, मधुगंगा, चिरगंगा, सरस्वती और स्वरंदरी। इनमें से कुछ इस पुराण में लिखे गए हैं।

 यह क्षेत्र "मंदाकिनी नदी" का एकमात्र जलसंग्रहण क्षेत्र है। यह मंदिर एक कलाकृति है I कितना बड़ा असम्भव कार्य रहा होगा ऐसी जगह पर कलाकृति जैसा मन्दिर बनाना जहां ठंड के दिन भारी मात्रा में बर्फ हो और बरसात के मौसम में बहुत तेज गति से पानी बहता हो। आज भी आप गाड़ी से उस स्थान तक नही जा सकते I

 फिर इस मन्दिर को ऐसी जगह क्यों बनाया गया?

 ऐसी प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों में 1200 साल से भी पहले ऐसा अप्रतिम मंदिर कैसे बन सकता है ?

 1200 साल बाद, भी जहां उस क्षेत्र में सब कुछ हेलिकॉप्टर से ले जाया जाता है I JCB के बिना आज भी वहां एक भी ढांचा खड़ा नहीं होता है। यह मंदिर वहीं खड़ा है और न सिर्फ खड़ा है, बल्कि बहुत मजबूत है।

 हम सभी को कम से कम एक बार यह सोचना चाहिए।

 वैज्ञानिक अनुमान लगाते हैं कि यदि मंदिर 10वीं शताब्दी में पृथ्वी पर होता, तो यह "हिम युग" की एक छोटी अवधि में होता।

 वाडिया इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ जियोलॉजी, देहरादून ने केदारनाथ मंदिर की चट्टानों पर लिग्नोमैटिक डेटिंग का परीक्षण किया। यह "पत्थरों के जीवन" की पहचान करने के लिए किया जाता है। परीक्षण से पता चला कि मंदिर 14वीं सदी से लेकर 17वीं सदी के मध्य तक पूरी तरह से बर्फ में दब गया था। हालांकि, मंदिर के निर्माण में कोई नुकसान नहीं हुआ।

 2013 में केदारनाथ में आई विनाशकारी बाढ़ को सभी ने देखा होगा। इस दौरान औसत से 375% अधिक बारिश हुई थी। आगामी बाढ़ में "5748 लोग" (सरकारी आंकड़े) मारे गए और 4200 गांवों को नुकसान पहुंचा। भारतीय वायुसेना ने 1 लाख 10 हजार से ज्यादा लोगों को एयरलिफ्ट किया। सब कुछ ले जाया गया। लेकिन इतनी भीषण बाढ़ में भी केदारनाथ मंदिर का पूरा ढांचा जरा भी प्रभावित नहीं हुआ।

 भारतीय पुरातत्व सोसायटी के मुताबिक, बाढ़ के बाद भी मंदिर के पूरे ढांचे के ऑडिट में 99 फीसदी मंदिर पूरी तरह सुरक्षित है I 2013 की बाढ़ और इसकी वर्तमान स्थिति के दौरान निर्माण को कितना नुकसान हुआ था, इसका अध्ययन करने के लिए "आईआईटी मद्रास" ने मंदिर पर "एनडीटी परीक्षण" किया। साथ ही कहा कि मंदिर पूरी तरह से सुरक्षित और मजबूत है।

 यदि मंदिर दो अलग-अलग संस्थानों द्वारा आयोजित एक बहुत ही "वैज्ञानिक और वैज्ञानिक परीक्षण" में उत्तीर्ण नहीं होता है, तो आज के समीक्षक आपको सबसे अच्छा क्या कहता ?

 मंदिर के अक्षुण खड़े रहने के पीछे :

जिस दिशा में इस मंदिर का निर्माण किया गया है व जिस स्थान का चयन किया गया है ये ही प्रमुख कारण हैं I

 दूसरी बात यह है कि इसमें इस्तेमाल किया गया पत्थर बहुत सख्त और टिकाऊ होता है। खास बात यह है कि इस मंदिर के निर्माण के लिए इस्तेमाल किया गया पत्थर वहां उपलब्ध नहीं है, तो जरा सोचिए कि उस पत्थर को वहां कैसे ले जाया जा सकता था। उस समय इतने बड़े पत्थर को ढोने के लिए इतने उपकरण भी उपलब्ध नहीं थे। इस पत्थर की विशेषता यह है कि 400 साल तक बर्फ के नीचे रहने के बाद भी इसके "गुणों" में कोई अंतर नहीं है।

 आज विज्ञान कहता है कि मंदिर के निर्माण में जिस पत्थर और संरचना का इस्तेमाल किया गया है, तथा जिस दिशा में बना है उसी की वजह से यह मंदिर इस बाढ़ में बच पाया।

 केदारनाथ मंदिर "उत्तर-दक्षिण" के रूप में बनाया गया है। जबकि भारत में लगभग सभी मंदिर "पूर्व-पश्चिम" हैं। विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार, यदि मंदिर "पूर्व-पश्चिम" होता तो पहले ही नष्ट हो चुका होता। या कम से कम 2013 की बाढ़ में तबाह हो जाता। लेकिन इस दिशा की वजह से केदारनाथ मंदिर बच गया है।

 इसलिए, मंदिर ने प्रकृति के चक्र में ही अपनी ताकत बनाए रखी है। मंदिर के इन मजबूत पत्थरों को बिना किसी सीमेंट के "एशलर" तरीके से एक साथ चिपका दिया गया है। इसलिए पत्थर के जोड़ पर तापमान परिवर्तन के किसी भी प्रभाव के बिना मंदिर की ताकत अभेद्य है।

 टाइटैनिक के डूबने के बाद, पश्चिमी लोगों ने महसूस किया कि कैसे "एनडीटी परीक्षण" और "तापमान" ज्वार को मोड़ सकते हैं।

 लेकिन भारतीय लोगों ने यह सोचा और यह 1200 साल पहले परीक्षण किया I

क्या केदारनाथ उन्नत भारतीय वास्तु कला का ज्वलंत उदाहरण नहीं है?

 2013 में, मंदिर के पिछले हिस्से में एक बड़ी चट्टान फंस गई और पानी की धार विभाजित हो गई I मंदिर के दोनों किनारों का तेज पानी अपने साथ सब कुछ ले गया लेकिन मंदिर और मंदिर में शरण लेने वाले लोग सुरक्षित रहे I जिन्हें अगले दिन भारतीय वायुसेना ने एयरलिफ्ट किया था।

 सवाल यह नहीं है कि आस्था पर विश्वास किया जाए या नहीं। लेकिन इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि मंदिर के निर्माण के लिए स्थल, उसकी दिशा, वही निर्माण सामग्री और यहां तक ​​कि प्रकृति को भी ध्यान से विचार किया गया था जो 1200 वर्षों तक अपनी संस्कृति और ताकत को बनाए रखेगा।

 हम पुरातन भारतीय विज्ञान की भारी यत्न के बारे में सोचकर दंग रह गए हैं I शिला जिसका उपयोग 6 फुट ऊंचे मंच के निर्माण के लिए किया गया है कैसे मन्दिर स्थल तक लायी गयी I

 आज तमाम बाढ़ों के बाद हम एक बार फिर केदारनाथ के उन वैज्ञानिकों के निर्माण के आगे नतमस्तक हैं, जिन्हें उसी भव्यता के साथ 12 ज्योतिर्लिंगों में सबसे ऊंचा होने का सम्मान मिलेगा।

 यह एक उदाहरण है कि वैदिक हिंदू धर्म और संस्कृति कितनी उन्नत थी। उस समय हमारे ऋषि-मुनियों यानी वैज्ञानिकों ने वास्तुकला, मौसम विज्ञान, अंतरिक्ष विज्ञान, आयुर्वेद में काफी तरक्की की थी।

 इसलिए मुझे गर्व है कि मैं भारतीय हूँ।       

 तथा भारतीय संस्कृति हमारी धरोहर है और उसी आस्था व विश्वास पर भारत को गर्व है जिसे सम्पूर्ण विश्व अचरज से देखता है किन्तु अधिपत्य स्वीकार करने से बचता है अनेक बार हमारी संस्कृति विश्व को झकझोर देती है किन्तु विश्व गुरू मानने से परहेज करते है ।                      

हमारी विरासत हमारी संस्कृति,आस्था व विश्वास है जो सदैव मजबूत व बुलंद रहेगा ।

 परमात्मा शब्द नही जो तुम्हे किताब में मिलेगा..

परमात्मा मूर्ति नही जो तुम्हे मंदिर में मिलेगा..

परमात्मा इंसान नही जो तुम्हे समाज में मिलेगा..

"परमात्मा जीवन है जो तुम्हे अपने भीतर मिलेगा ।

जय शिव शंकर

INDIA's SHAMEFUL DEBACLE




The Rediff Special/ Neville Maxwell



After the 1962 war, the Indian Army commissioned Lieutenant General Henderson Brooks and Brigadier P S Bhagat to study the debacle. As is wont in India, their report was never made public and lies buried in the government archives. But some experts have managed to piece together the contents of the report. One such person is Neville Maxwell, who has studied the 1962 war in depth.

APJ - THE MAN

APJ

This was way back in 1998. Our PSLV missile program was in full swing . But it was being done clandestinely to avoid detection by US spy satellites . The program director was Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who we did not recognize at that time .

The cryogenic engines used were secretly shipped to Chennai port from where they were airlifted by our heavy lift helicopter..

We have learnt no lessons from the 1962 defeat

March 21, 2014 11:41 IST
More than half-a-century after humiliation in the 1962 war, India is still not prepared to take on the Chinese dragon.

Every now and then, that dragon flexes its muscles, reminding India the threat persists, says Virendra Kapoor.

Do they ever learn?

Within minutes of the top secret Henderson Brooks report into the 1962 Chinese debacle being posted on a Web site, the government moved fast to block access.

SAGA OF CAPTAIN PK GHOSH, VrC

*SAGA OF CAPTAIN PK GHOSH, VrC*
                 By
        Maj Gen VK Singh

The exploits of Captain (later Brigadier) Prashanta Kumar Ghosh form an important part of the history of the Corps of Signals during the operations for the liberation of Bangla Desh in 1971. Strangely enough, the story has never been told, partly because of the innate modesty of the person involved. For this lapse, the Corps also must share a part of the blame. Had he been from any other arm or service, there is little doubt that he would have been made much of.  

WHO IS GOVT OF INDIA

Hilarious !   - All my life I have wondered, 'Who is Govt of India (GOI)?'.

In 1978, I was interviewed by the president of India (Sanjeeva Reddy) for the post of an ADC. In my zealous enthusiasm, after a bit of chatting with the Supreme Commander, I asked him with sincere naivety whether he was GOI. He very absentmindedly said 'No'. I was so disappointed that I immediately told him that I do not wish to be his ADC (Air Chief Mulgaonkar skinned me for it).

IMA - AUG 1947 PARTITION

Partition of the IMA by Maj Gen Jagatbir Singh (Retd)

My father used to tell me often how when he was a Gentlemen Cadet as part of the Third Regular Course in the Indian Military Academy (IMA) during Partition, all the cadets were summoned by the then Commandant, Brigadier AB Barltrop, to the ante room and asked whether they would like to remain in India or be sent to Pakistan. The time to decide was a matter of hours and young men in their teens without access to any sort of communication had to make this decision. It was broadly mandated that all Hindu and Sikh Gentleman Cadets were to remain in India and all Muslims belonging to Pakistan were to remain in Pakistan. The Muslim cadets from India were free to choose their country of residence. The Christian and Parsi cadets, too, could opt for any country.

FAUJI LIFE-10 - DINNER NIGHT

FAUJI LIFE-10  - DINNER NIGHT

A  Dinner Night is a parade, as stiff as any military parade.  Originally designed to keep the British Officers out of mischief, it achieved the same purpose post-independence. It also helped to keep the Mess staff up-skilled. It was essential in the days when Officers married late and the strength of single/dinning In members was always 6-10. Things have changed over the years. Fewer officers, advent of TV , Social media and expanded commitments. Those were days of White/Blue Patrols ( Summer/Winter Mess Dress) and General Sundarjee had not yet introduced the 6B.  

BHISHMA & JATAYU -REACTIONS TO SITUATIONS

REACTION TO SITUATIONS - PERSON TO PERSON 

No two people react to the same situation in a similar way. Here are examples of two legendary personalities who were faced with a very similar situation, but thier responses were diagonally apart. One has been elevated but the other only recognised.

This is a comparitive study between Bhisma and Jatayu. Both, of them were confronted with character defining asssault on womanhood. One chose to die protecting the victim while the other chose to be a mute spectator of the crime. You will be shocked to see the similarities of the situation they faced.
