Viram Batra

On July 7, 1999, in the early hours, Kargil war hero Vikram Batra was commanding a mission to rescue an injured officer during an enemy counter-attack. He was killed in action while clearing enemy positions making the supreme sacrifice for the country. This Kargil Diwas, we remember the memories of a Young Vikram Batra through the words of his teachers and parents.

Vikram Batra is remembered for his bravery and sacrifice by every Indian. His family, friends and teachers have different tales of his student days which he spent in Chandigarh to share as reported by Tribune India.

Ranging from his daily life to NCC days, here it goes:

“I scolded him in 1995 when he did not return the NCC uniform which is mandatory for every cadet after finishing the studies to get the no dues certificate for getting his degree,” former NCC in-charge of DAV College Prof RP Singh recalled this incident when he was asked about Vikram who was a BSc student of the college.

The otherwise calm and quiet Vikram told the professor: “I had gone to my native place in Himachal Pradesh, which is why I could not return the uniform on time.” The professor said he was frank and truthful. In the first year of college, Vikram was in the NCC Air Wing, but for the next two years, he remained a cadet of the Army Wing, said Professor Singh.

Vikram, who was fond of adventure, was the president of the youth service club of the college. He organised a Kasauli trekking trip for the club members, recalled his sports lecturer Ravinder Chaudhary. In 1994, Vikram participated in the Republic Day parade in New Delhi.

Vikram, who is remembered in the Army for the war slogan ‘Yeh Dil Maange More’, is missed by his father for his words “Bas do minute papa” (two minutes dad).

Sharing memories, Vikram’s father GL Batra said during his first visit to Hostel No. 1 of Panjab University, where he took admission in MA English for preparing for his Combined Defence Services exam, Vikram asked me: “Papa aap kya khaoge” (Dad, what will you have). To which, he said: “No mess or canteen is open in the university. Don’t bother yourself.” Vikram promptly responded: “Arre bas do minute” and he came back with a bowl of noodles and on top of it was an omelette for his father.Viram Batra

“This dish has become part of our family meal and whenever I miss him, I ask my wife to prepare it for me,” GL Batra said.

He further said Vikram was “yaro ka yaar” (true friend). His friendly nature endeared him to mess staff which used to borrow his bike and in return bestowed their bounties by making everything available to him on demand in the hostel. Vikram, who was honoured with the Param Vir Chakra and Maha Vir Chakra, during his university days, did a part-time job as the branch manager of a travelling agency in Chandigarh. “I do not want to be a burden on you, dad,” Vikram told his father.

These little tales of young Vikram fills every reader with emotion and pride at the same time. We are so honoured that India got such a hero who will be remembered by the nation.

P-8I Poseidon

US Company Boeing on 27th July signed a contract with India for four more P-8I Poseidon Aircraft for Indian Navy. The contract was inked during the ongoing visit of US under Secretary for Defence on Acquisition Frank Kendall, and is seen as a sign of growing Indo-US defence ties.

This came at a time when Chinese nuclear and conventional submarines are making frequent forays in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

Here are 10 features and facts about the P-8I Poseidon aircraft:P-8I Poseidon

  1. The P-8I is an “anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft.”
  2. The P-8I is the Indian Navy variant of the P-8A Poseidon that Boeing has developed for the US Navy. The Indian Navy is the first international customer for the P-8I aircraft.
  3. The twin-engine jet has a range of about 2,222 kilometres, or more than 1,200 nautical miles, which allows the Indian navy to monitor the country’s vast coastline.
  4. It has a maximum speed of 907 kmph and an operating range of 1,200 nautical miles, “with four hours on station”.
  5. The P-8Is provide the reach and flexibility to undertake extensive maritime surveillance and intelligence-gathering missions.
  6. The planes will provide strategic blue water and littoral undersea warfare capabilities as well as armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to the navy.
  7. The planes, a replacement for the Soviet-era Tu-142 fleet, are expected to be in naval service not before 2050.
  8. The underbelly of the dual-cockpit plane, capable of high rates of descent and short-field landings, has a bomb bay for torpedoes and launching tubes for sonar listening buoys. It can carry missiles, bombs and mines.
  9. The Navy is already using the eight P-8Is, armed with deadly Harpoon Block-II missiles, MK-54 lightweight torpedoes, rockets and depth charges, to keep an “intelligent hawk-eye” over the entire IOR.
  10. Based at the naval airbase INS Rajali at Arakkonam (Tamil Nadu), the P-8Is are also been extensively used in the ongoing search operation for the missing AN-32 aircraft.

Apart from the 12 P-8Is, the major deals inked with the US previously include ones for 13 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft ($2.1 billion), 10 C-17 Globemaster-III giant strategic airlift aircraft ($4.1 billion) as well as 22 Apache attack and 15 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters ($3.1 billion) and the $737 million 145 M-777 ultra-light howitzers deal under the Pentagon’s foreign military sales programme.

Army Major Beaten By Spanners By 4 People For Being A North Indian

Army Major Beaten

A 33-year-old officer of Indian army was on Friday, 29 July, allegedly assaulted in Bengaluru by a group of unknown people on the road for “being a North Indian who did not know how to drive.”

According to initial reports by The News Minute and Bangalore Mirror, the incident took place near SCT Institute of Technology in Kaggadasapura.

The officer of the rank of Major was stuck in slow-moving traffic in his SUV when an auto driver enraged by traffic jam, started accusing the victim of not knowing how to drive.

Murali Kartik, a techie and an eye witness, told Bangalore Mirror that the auto driver attacked the army officer without any provocation.

According to the witness, the major was innocent and the auto driver picked a fight for no reason. The victim did not even come out of the car and was unable to understand the language in which the auto driver was speaking.

The Major warned the auto driver to stop else he would report the matter to the police while taking pictures of the driver. The auto-driver then flew into a rage and – along with four other passers-by, who were in no way connected to the incident, ganged up with the driver and started damaging the vehicle.

He was then pulled out of the car and was brutally beaten by spanners and was bleeding profusely when Kartik came to his rescue.

Kartik further added that “There were nearly 40 onlookers and nobody came to the victim’s rescue, despite his pleas for help. I started pushing the assailants, asking them not to beat him as he would die. With great difficulty, I rescued the victim and the accused ran away.”

Kartik then rushed the Major to Sri Lakshmi Hospital in Kaggadasapura where he was administered treatment. Once at the hospital, the major then called his friends to help him.

The Major, who doesn’t wish to be identified, has been posted in Karnataka since 2014 and knows very little Kannada. He after treatment on July 30 filed a complaint with the Baiyappanahalli police under section 324 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The pictures, which the Major managed to click of the driver and others who beat him, were handed over to the police for further investigation.

The spot where the incident occurred sees regular traffic jams.

“The condition of the victim would have been even more critical had the civilian not displayed courage to counter the five weapon-wielding gang-members,” the victim’s friend, a Wing Commander in the Indian Air Force, told Bangalore Mirror.Army Major Beaten

Another friend of the victim, also an army officer, told The News Minute that the attackers were visibly enraged by the number plate of the victim’s car that bore a Haryana registration.

Speaking to The News Minute on condition of anonymity, the friend said that army officers across the country have always been vulnerable to such attacks, since their car registration is an indication that they are not a native of the place.

“I wish those 40 onlookers, instead watching the victim being beaten, could have just warned the accused and sent them away,” Kartik, the witness added.

Planning To Watch ‘Rustom’? Here’s The Real Story Behind It

RUSTOM Real Life Story

The trailer of Akshay Kumar’s Rustom brings to light the real life events of an Indian Naval Officer, Commander Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati. Rustom is largely inspired by his famous 1959 case. This was a story involving an extra-marital affair that resulted in a murder.

This case later went on to become the last case to be heard by a jury.

Here’s the real life story of Cdr KM Nanavati as explained in upcoming AK’s “Rustom” in 20 points:

People Involved:

  • Main – Cdr KM Nanavati;
  • Nanavati’s Wife – Sylvia;
  • Nanavati’s Friend – Prem Ahuja

The Story:

  1. KM Nanavati was an alumnus of National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla, Pune, from where he joined the Indian Navy and went on to become a Commander in its ranks (eq to Lt. Col in Army).
  2. He was a Parsi by birth and was settled with his wife, Sylvia and their 2 sons and a daughter in the Bombay of 1959.
  3. Being a Naval Officer, Cdr Nanavati had to be away from his family for long during which his wife, Slyvia started having extra marital affairs with Nanavati’s friend, Prem Ahuja.
  4. As proven by many letters from Sylvia to Prem, she wanted to divorce Nanavati and marry her lover, but Prem didn’t have the same intentions and refused her proposal.
  5. When Cdr Nanavati came back from his long on-ship assignment on April 27, 1959, he enquired about the depression of her wife. Aware of the fact that she had made a mistake, she spilled the beans to Nanavati on 27th April 1959. Nanavati wanted to shoot himself, by Sylvia managed to calm him down.
  6. Nanavati later dropped his family at Metro cinema, and drove up to the Naval base, collected his pistol on a false pretext from the stores along with six cartridges, completed his official duties and proceeded to Prem Ahuja’s office.RUSTOM Real Life Story
  7. Failing to find him there, he moved to his flat to search him and asked him whether he intended to marry Sylvia and accept their children. Prem replied “Will I marry every woman I sleep with?” and Nanavati shot him three times, killing him on the spot.
  8. Nanavati turned himself in front of Provost Marshal of the Western Naval Command confessing to his crime, who advised him to surrender himself to the Deputy Commissioner of Police.
  9. Since Nanavati, a patriotic person serving the country, had no criminal background and he willingly surrendered, the Bombay sessions court pronounced him not guilty under Section 302. Seeing a wronged husband in front of them, the jury also sympathised with the accused and ruled in his favour, 8 to 1.
  10. The case received unprecedented media coverage in such a way that 25p copy newspaper was sold for Rs 2 apiece This was sparked by a tabloid, the Bombay Daily Blitz, championing the cause of Nanavati, after which Nanavati, accused under section 302, was declared not guilty by the session court. It later turned out that Bombay Daily Blitz itself was owned by a fellow Parsi. This was further flamed by the fact that there were no witnesses in the Nanavati case.Rustom
  11. The victim’s sister, Mamie Ahuja and the prosecution contested the fact that what Nanavati had done was not because he lost his self-control but the murder was premeditated. With this argument, the then-young lawyer Ram Jethmalani, assisting in the prosecution, appealed to the Bombay High Court.
  12. The case went to the Bombay High Court which agreed with the prosecution’s argument that the murder was premeditated and sentenced him to life imprisonment for culpable homicide amounting to murder. The Supreme Court also upheld the conviction.
  13. This case led to some unrest between the Parsi and the Sindhi communities in Mumbai. While Nanavati belonged to the Parsi community, Ahuja was a Sindhi. The case brought to the fore a conflict between the demand of masses and the rule of law. It was obvious that one had to bend in favour of the other.
  14. Around the same time, Maharashtra Governor Vijaylakshmi Pandit (who was Jawaharlal Nehru’s sister) received a mercy petition for Bhai Pratap, a prominent Sindhi businessman dealing in import-export of sports goods. Bureaucrats agreed that he could be pardoned. KM Nanavati walked in the same circles as the Gandhi-Nehru family, and thus found favour from the newly-appointed Governor.
  15. Nanavati was a decorated Naval officer who had previously worked in the power circles of the Nehru-Gandhi family. He was also close to V.K. Krishna Menon, the high commissioner to the United Kingdom, with whom he had worked as the Defence Attache before he was sent to Mumbai for taking on his Naval duties.
  16. Vijaylaxmi Pandit could pardon Nanavati but that would cause unrest in the Sindhi community. Therefore she pounced on the chance and said that Bhai Pratap would be pardoned after Nanavati was pardoned.
  17. Nanavati, meanwhile, garnered huge support from the public, the Indian Navy, and the Parsi community. Rallies were held on Bombay streets demanding to pardon of the convicted officer. Prem’s sister Mamie Ahuja was persuaded to forgive Nanavati. She gave her assent for his pardon in writing and Nanavati was released after spending three years in jail. Therefore, a small time Sindhi offender and Nanavati were both excused on the same day to avoid discontentment among either community.
  18. Nanavati then left for Toronto, Canada with his wife and their children shortly after that and was never heard of again. He passed away in 2003. Sylvia and their three children continue to survive him.
  19. Since the jury had also been influenced by media and public support for Nanavati and was also open to being misled, the Indian government abolished jury trials after this case.
  20. Many movies, shows and books were inspired by the case, latest being Akshay’s “Rustom”.

It is the deciding part. To help all the aspirants in their preparations, we are here with some instructions on how to manage preparations for the upcoming CDS examinations. The following steps will untangle the confusion of candidates and will help them.

 

  • Time Management Is The First Step – The most crucial part of the preparation is to manage the time. Check the time as per your need and devote more time to the subject that seems to be tough. Simultaneously give sufficient time to other subjects in which you are perfect. Whatever you do, do it with full concentration and mind. Make a blueprint of your timetable and follow it dedicatedly.
  • English – English can be prepared by reading newspaper and going through the sample papers and previous year papers. Reading newspaper constantly will give you an idea of usage of correct words, tenses and other grammatical rules. Vocabulary is also brushed up using the newspaper. Constant reading habit will help you to predict the sequence of jumble sentences, editing and omission questions. Passage needs practice and observation. Try to be a constant reader to perform well in English.
  • General Studies – Use newspaper, periodicals and magazines to brush up your current affairs knowledge. The statement type questions need deep knowledge and accurate strike to answer the question. So, it is advised to go thoroughly through the topics. As far as the G.S. part is concerned, go through the respective books and cover all subjects. Emphasize on subjects in which you are best. Bring out the best performance in your best subjects to ensure your selection. Side by side prepare for other subjects also.
  • Mathematics – Mathematics is all about the written practice. The more you practice, the more you will get bold in your calculations. Use diverse sources to practice like special CDSE books, extra mathematics practice books and sample papers. Internet is also a very good source of managing mathematics material. Focus on the correctness and speed of calculations. Geometrical question and trigonometry are a bit tough. Try to have a deep focus on statement type questions, which seems the most difficult, but are very easy to solve.

Conclusion – All CDS aspirants have about 2-3 months for their exam. Jump into preparations and ensure your selection this time. Don’t fear the failure. Rather, target the success. Manage time judiciously and bring out the best of you in the given time. Use previous year papers to check the exam pattern and manage preparations according to it. Be honest to yourself and don’t leave voids. Try to repeat the syllabus at least three times. The more you repeat, the more you get closer to your selection.

Defense Collaboration: The Need of the Hour for India

China vs Indian Fight Army

Foreign investment is opted as the best way to attract huge investment in India. Well, this has been a best option in many fields. But the defense has shown a spurt in the investment. Several collaborations have been initiated after the defense has been opened for it.

In a major step towards the bulky defense manufacturing, Lockheed Martin, Sweden’s SAAB and Boeing are scouting to collaborate with India. The ultimate aim is to get into the 1 lakh Crore defense manufacturing market of India. The move was further strengthened after relaxation in FDI norms for defense.

Well, talking about the relaxed FDI norms, the FDI is extended up to 100%, by doing away in State of Arts condition. Previously, the norms were limited to the 49% under automatic routes and approvals are required for further extensions.

Similarly, TATA, which has emerged as a new defense manufacturing hunk in last few decades, has collaborated with Bell helicopters of US to make helicopters. The manufacturing will be under Make in India initiative. The deal will be for the training, R&D, assembly and maintenance and other facilities.

On the same line, Sukhoi and India had a long history of military conjunction. Sukhoi has given the best air support and fighting experience to the Indian Air Force. The jet has been listed among the best aircrafts of the world. Well, India is already going through a shortage of squadrons. The required number of squadrons is 42, while the current number of squadrons in the IAF is 33. Recently, India and Russia have resumed talks about the stalled project of fifth generation aircraft FGFA and upgrading the current Sukhoi 30 MKI into Super Sukhoi by integrating AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) Radars and Long-Range Standoff Missiles. Such projects are focused by the Indian Defense Department to reduce the dependence over Old Russian Mig aircrafts. Moreover, induction of Tejas and possible induction of Rafale in the future will further strengthen the IAF. The closest competitor Pakistan is also gearing up its air force with F-16 and other military weapons. Further, about 120 Tejas are expected to join the IAF and the delayed Rafale deal will be a great achievement for India. In a bit to enhance the capabilities, the 60 Mig and mirage will be upgraded.

The up gradation and foreign investment in the defense sector are very crucial for bolstering the Armed Forces to counter the rising power of China and Pakistan. Pakistan is expanding its weapon power with the help of the Chinese assistance and using the U.S. financial aid, which seems to be under trouble these days. Well, Russia, the all-weather friend of India and the emerging military relations with U.S, is the rise of the new era in Indian weapon field. Foreign investment has become a boon for Indian defense market. Further the engagement of Indian government with other small nations to provide them military weapons, has made a huge impact of India over small south Indian nations. These all conclude the bright future of the Indian defense arena.

INDIAN ARMY WEAPONS

The Armed Forces of India are going on the route or arming themselves with own home made indigenous weapons and warheads. Some of them are released successfully (Tejas (LCA), Agni missiles, INS Cochin etc), while some of them are under construction like LCH, AMCA and others.

Coming to the point, it is seen that the indigenous manufactured warheads are not purely indigenous i.e. many parts of them are imported from foreign superpowers. Talking about the recently released LCA Tejas, which is made to replace the entire Mig-21 force, Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar said that the jet contains about 40% of foreign material.  While the main battle tank, Arjun has got 55% of its material from foreign players. The Indian army has inducted 124 MTBs and has also ordered 100 new generation tanks. The tank has got some weight issues and delays in manufacturing like LCA project. Some other projects of DRDO that have got significant foreign assistance are Nag missile – 30%, Airborne Early Warning & Control System – 16%, Free Fall Combat System – 35%, Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket System – 10% , Prithvi And Agni Missiles – 15%.

The weapons made with the collaboration with other nations also has more material from the co-partnering nation. BRAHMOS has got 65% of its material from Russia. While LRSAM has about 60% material form Israel. India’s contribution in both the projects is less than half.INDIAN ARMY WEAPONS

Well, India is also adjusting its place in the field of arms exporters. India has stepped forward in exporting BRAHMOS missile to Vietnam, which has become a good friend of India after Vietnam came into deal of 11 oil blocks with India. South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia and Chile are also preferring to buy this missile. While UAE, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia have shown their interest in it.
