The Battle for Ravi-Sutlej Corridor 1965

A Strategic and Operational Analysis

The Indian attack on Lahore in particular and Ravi-Sutlej Corridor in general has remained the subject of too much propaganda and too little analysis. On Pakistani side the Battle for Lahore was seen as a superhuman effort while on the Indian side it exposed many glaring weaknesses in the Indian Army at unit, brigade, divisional and corps level.

On the other hand the total failure of the main Pakistani attack in Khem Karan was ignored or forgotten in the smoke screen of glory created by official propagandists who successfully shifted the entire public attention on laurels of Aziz Bhatti etc.

TIGER WOODS AND THE GAME OF LIFE

Golf is all about how you react when you get a bad bounce.

The New York Times, By Thomas L. Friedman

Although my day job is writing the foreign affairs column for The New York Times — more Persian Gulf than fairway golf — thinking about golf and playing as often as I can is my all-consuming hobby. So like millions of others, I was awed by Tiger Woods's comeback for the ages by his winning the Masters at 43 years old. What can be learned from it?

     By IQBAL CHAND MALHOTRA

THE BJP PRESIDENT Amit Shah may not have been far-off the mark when he claimed that 250 terrorists were killed during the Indian Air Force’s air strike on Balakot at around 3:30 am local time on February 26th, 2019. However, Shah would never be able to provide the evidence to back his claim. Revealing the evidence would violate the charter of ‘The MOU on Geosynchronous Earth Orbit and Low Earth Orbit Optical Link’ signed between Prime Ministers Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on July 5th, 2017 in New Delhi. This MoU permits Indian and Israeli satellites to ‘talk to each other’.

JALLIANWALA - INDIANS FIRED ON INDIANS ?

JALLIANWALA BAGH - WHY INDIANS FIRED ON INDIANS 

 I lived in Hong Kong for some years. One of the facts I observed was that Hong Kongers by and large do not like Indians and many of them even hate us. Whether an Indian goes on to look for a home or on the streets to buy groceries, the feeling is palpable. Many Indians I talked to said they feel it rather strongly. I had asked several people but got no satisfactory answer.

FATHER - SHORT STORY

HEART TOUCHING STORY

A story that touched my heart. A story of Service at The Feet  of The Lord -

It was getting dark.  Someone was calling from behind the locked iron gate.  Wondering who it could be I came out.  An elderly person was standing behind the gate. The clothes wrinkled and with a small bag in his hand he appeared to have travelled some distance coming here.  Looking into a small piece of paper in his hands he enquired, "Isn't this Anand, Number8, Yogananda Street, my son?"  "Yes, I am Anand and this is the address.  And you…", I mumbled

VENEZUELA - HOW IT FAILED

HOW A STATE FAILS ITSELF

Have you heard about a country called Venezuela? It is a big country. Bigger than the Indian states of UP, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Bengal and Orissa combined.. And how much is the population? Only 35 million ... .. less than the population of Delhi NCR ........ God has given everything to Venezuela. Fertile land, abundant rain, hundreds of small rivers and thousands of miles long beach.

In spite of having such fertile land and so much water, there is so much hunger in this country today that men have virtually turned into cannibals. There is nothing like farming of crops, fruits & vegetables, dairy, poultry, fishing, etc. in this country.  Even if they can't grow wheat, rice, and vegetables for such a big country, there are grazing areas millions of hectares. Does Venezuela not even have a few cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats to graze and provide meat to its starving population?

YOUR DRESS - SPEAKS OUT

YOUR TURN OUT 

Worth reading for all officers who take pride in being gentlemen. The term turnout describes the manner in which a person dresses and presents himself. 'Shabby turnout produces shabby behavior' is an old military dictum.

It will be in order to recall an incident that happened at a major military training academy a few years ago. Conduct of the officers at a social function was found to be highly unacceptable. A group of inebriated officers threw beer bottles in the swimming pool and monopolized the dance floor with whiskey glasses in hands. Fearing misbehavior, all ladies walked off the floor.

ARMED FORCES AND THE NATION

India needs its armed forces and wants them to be confident that there is a nation standing behind them praying for their success and not for their failure.

As Balakot surgical strike is going to be alive, at least till elections are around, I am unable to escape from reading social media posts about it from some of the smartest people of my nation.Though I am not in a position to accept or deny existence or success/failure of surgical strike with cent percent certainty, this episode has made me sure about something else. I am absolutely sure that no nation on the planet is as keen or desperate to fail as the country called India.

What could have stopped a Pulwama like attack? India did have the capability, but that capability was dismantled. 

This is purportedly the story of the top-secret military intelligence unit of Indian army, TSD (Technical Support Division) and how it was sabotaged by UPA-II govt, hand in gloves with indian media, much to the relief of Pakistani establishment and ISI. And how they ruined the life of some of the finest men in uniform in the process.

Al-Zawahiri is a wealthy Egyptian who at the age of 14 was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. He is supposedly involved in the siege of Lal Masjid in Pakistan, and also reportedly implicated in the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. He was also Osama bin Laden's personal advisor and surgeon since 1986. On Osama's death in 2011, he took over as Chief of the Al Qaeda.

PARRIKAR WALK THE TALK - A TRIBUTE

How Manohar Parrikar Walked the Talk with His Simplicity and Dedication

18 March 2019 2

  https://www.moneylife.in/article/how-manohar-parrikar-walked-the-talk-with-his-simplicity-and-dedication/56618.html

It was sometime in 2001. At a gathering hosted by Gomantak, the leading newspaper in Goa, I was explaining to someone the 100 year scenarios of urbanisation of Goa. These scenarios were the result of the Goa 2101 model that I had built. I had no idea someone was eavesdropping on the conversation, perhaps because of my passionate expression, or else because it was just more than a bit crazy to talk about 100 years in future when no one talked of even 100 days. Least of all did I know, that that someone was the then chief minister of Goa, Manohar Parrikar.

           As we graduated from NDA to the IMA, our camp inventory also went for an upgrade. From Section level, our training elevated to Platoon level and we were now being trained to become Platoon Commanders. So, in addition to the section weapons, a 2 inch mortar, fondly called the "Platoon Commander ka Topkhana"(Platoon Commander's Artillery) got added to the training curriculum.

A Write up by a Retd Maj General

            Recently I came across a poster which said, 'Getting work done in this office is like the mating of elephants. It is done at a high level with immense grunting and groaning and it takes almost two years to produce results.' These words aptly define the Ministry of Defence. It has always moved at its own pace, never hurried, except when it directly impacts its own staffing or benefits. The last such case that moved with alarming pace was the review of the internal cadre of the MoD.

MEDUSA

MONSTER MEDUSA
By Major Gaurav Arya (Veteran)

Greek legend speaks of a female monster called Medusa, whose stare would turn men into stone and who had snakes in place of hair. This terrifying being destroyed everything in her path. The only way to end her terror was to behead her. Perseus, the Greek warrior, did this. By this act of beheading Medusa, he brought peace to Sarpedon.
On 14 August 1947, a part of the British Indian Army separated from its mother organization and became the Pakistan Army. It retained the flavor of its British creator; the parties, the spit and polish, the gin in the afternoon and whiskey in the evening, the 'hard as hobnailed leather' ethos and the drill square. Its officers were Pakistani in skin-tone but British in thinking. "Brown Sahibs" would have been an apt description. 

We were no different.

UNSC-INDIA

SEAT - UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNSEL

Friends, It is really surprising that Arun Jaiteley, who is one of the leading lawyers and must be in the know of UNO and its charter had joined the bandwagon of ill informed followers, that Nehru had declined the offer of UNSC seat. Is he comparing the UNSC seat with the allocation of Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha seat to some disgruntled opposition candidates, like Tom Vadakkan, so that their loyalty could be subverted?

The recent controversies are about USA's offer in 1950 and the offer of USSR in 1955.

ROME AT LAST

Now I come to some of the experiences I had in Nigeria and other overseas countries.
After spending a few weeks in Onitsha, Nigeria, where my brother, Umesh, had invited us, and Basanti was offered an English-conversation-teaching job, attracting much-needed foreign exchange, I alone was on my way to India for offering my resignation and starting a new life in Nigeria. The Alitalia flight from Lagos was via Rome; the very names, Rome, Italy, Europe were thrilling. For a long time it was my ambition which was about to be fulfilled. I had spent hours under the blue sky at Sunderbani praying fervently for a trip to Europe. My wish was about to be fulfilled; I had to take the last step. It was inexplicably thrilling and exciting. Movies like 'Roman Holiday' and 'Three Coins in the Fountain' flashed past.

The spirit of Ramajanmabhoomi movement is based on the crucial premise that the disputed structure was created after dismantling the Temple. Even before the movement the archaeological exercise was undertaken. The archaeological evidence collected by Prof Lal and his team, of which Dr K K Mohammed was a part, confirmed the presence of a huge pre-existing temple beneath the disputed structure. In his book, Njan Enna Bharatiyan, originally written in Malayalam, Dr Mohammad elaborated the whole process in this scientific exercise of revisiting history. Here are the excerpts from his book which can be crucial while discussing and deliberating on the Ayodhya issue:   K K Mohammed

THE COBRA EFFECT

The Cobra Effect is a term in economics. It refers to a situation when an attempted solution to a problem makes the problem worse. This name was coined based on an incident in old colonial India.

By some reasons, there were too many venomous cobra snakes in Delhi. People were dying due to snake-bites and it became scary for almost everyone to step out of their houses.

DOWNSIZING THE INDIAN ARMY

http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/downsizing-the-indian-army/

            The current exercise being undertaken by the Indian Army is reportedly to make it lean and mean. Whatever the interpretation, the main gain is supposed to be savings to the tune of Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000 crore annually which can be used towards modernisation. Just last year, the government appointed the Shekatkar Committee had submitted its recommendations to the MoD saying if all its recommendations are implemented, Rs 25,000 crore will be saved. Ironically, the MoD only implemented what suited the bureaucracy. Army Base Workshops (ABW) were placed directly under the MoD after being privatised and posted with civilian defence employees. In addition, Military Farms were taken over by the MoD – imported cows, infrastructure and most importantly, defence land.

 THERE IS MUCH MORE ON CORPS OF SIGNALS THAN JUST THE VOICE AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS

February 1, 2019  By Capt. Ryan Robinson, USA

https://www.afcea.org/content/signal-corps-shoulders-more-network

War fighters depend on signalers across the spectrum of operations.

A broad misconception is that the U.S. Army Signal Corps is a single-function organization, but its responsibilities have grown over time, and it is now a vital element of communications support that applies technology to ensure mission success. As much as the Army performs maneuver operations on land, it also performs signal offensive, defensive and stability operations in the cyber domain.
