The general who saved Punjab in the 1965 War
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.

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.

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।
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।
जिस दिशा में इस मंदिर का निर्माण किया गया है व जिस स्थान का चयन किया गया है I ये ही प्रमुख कारण हैं I
क्या केदारनाथ उन्नत भारतीय वास्तु कला का ज्वलंत उदाहरण नहीं है?
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 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

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.

More than half-a-century after humiliation in the 1962 war, India is still not prepared to take on the Chinese dragon.
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.
