“My name is Major General Somnath Jha. I retired from the Indian Army on the 30th of September, 2016; and after 18 days, on the 19th of October I sat on my cycle saddle and took off to pay my homage to all the martyred soldiers of of our country since Independence. I am paying this homage by cycling two minutes for each fallen hero. And since the number of such heroes is close to 21,000, I have given myself the mandate of cycling 42,000 minutes on this journey. Another mandate I laid down for myself is to route myself through all the 29 states of our great nation because our fallen heroes come from every corner of the country. This is my symbolic homage to my brethren who didn’t have the privilege of retiring as I did. They made the supreme sacrifice before that.”
I hear myself speak these words (or words to this effect) day after day after day for past five months or so, at each new place I arrive at and interact with new people and media persons.
I seriously didn’t fully understand the enormity and sacredness of the task I had set for myself. This realization grows with each passing day; some of it on my own, some of it comes from the people who I interact with enroute. But strangely, instead of daunting me, I find my resolve only getting stronger! The 42,000 minutes, when extrapolated to distance and time, translates to somewhere between 10 and 12,000 kms over a six to seven month period! To be done alone on my cycle on Indian roads.
Mine is a long and arduous journey. I had even dared to think (during my initial planning stages) that I could handle the cycling as well as the logistics. Chitra, my wife, came on board and took charge of all liaison and logistics. “Why should I sit in one place and wonder where you are and what’s happening with you,” was her rationale. This made sense. But now the logistics had to be expanded with a backup car accompanying. I could now think of carrying a reserve cycle and a larger range of spares. And wherever we halted for the night Chitra would make sure that there was an essence of ‘home’ in that place. We did have some frustrating moments finding a suitable car to hire along with a driver who would stick with us all the seven months of the journey. But once that was settled, Chitra (along with a host of her Facebook friends) has made the logistics seamless.
This is a personal homage journey. I’m not supported or sponsored by any organization. And initially I was even skeptical about any publicity being accorded. But my last Corps commander insisted on having a ‘curtain raiser’ interaction with the local media, so I went through with that. In hindsight, it was indeed a pretty good idea. I’m glad he had insisted and organized it. As the journey progressed, and more media (primarily local and vernacular) began envisaging interest, I slowly began to realize that the story of my journey needs to be told to the world, as it unfolds. The nation’s citizens, if not the world, must know of the ethos of camaraderie that forms the bedrock of any military, especially ours. After all, I’m undertaking this homage journey in the memory and honour of my fallen comrades. I’m not on a publicity seeking mission nor on an adventure trip, nor on any record setting endeavour. Neither is my journey a touristy or a socializing trip. Mine is a kind of a pilgrimage, to honour our fallen heroes. This spirit of committed camaraderie must be upheld at all costs by us in the military, in spite of the pressures of a changing eco-societal environment around us. This is what sets us apart, the grain from the chaff.
As the journey unfolds, the statistics keep changing. The numbers, regarding distance covered, states traversed, number of homages paid and so on, keep adding. The remarkable thing is that a strong support and understanding of my mission, from all quarters (especially the unexpected), keeps growing. Ever so often, we’ve had complete strangers (until then) come forward with their unconditional help and support to make the journey possible. To my most pleasant surprise, support and help that have come from private individuals, local government organizations and departments, police organizations, citizens’ groups have been overwhelming. Their ability to emotionally relate to the sentiments and the enormity of my homage journey has been most astonishing, and at the same time, very reassuring. And it includes just about everyone; farmers, wage earners, dhaba wallas, truck drivers, lower level government officials, policemen, passerby, rural home makers, businessmen, veterans, shopkeepers, teachers, young boys and girls in the NCC and of course the military. How reassuring this has been! I have come to believe that virtually every citizen in our beautiful country genuinely identifies with causes such as mine. And that they are as patriotic as anyone else, and emotionally connected to matters concerning the military. They are usually so caught up with the struggle of their daily lives and also with the lack of appropriate leadership, they are normally unable to give vent to their sentiments and intentions.
As I write this piece, I am on the 153rd Day of my homage journey, having logged over 9000 kms and over 17,700 homages. I finish my (rather long) journey through Rajasthan (the 25th State) in another two days to enter Punjab. Four more states to traverse and 3,300 homages to clock and I’ll be done. The end is in sight, but not without a tinge of sadness; this beautiful journey of homage that has seeped down to my bone, will conclude at the Amar Jawan Jyoti (India Gate) at New Delhi on the 19th of April 2017. My personal homage to our fallen heroes will be done … at least for the moment.
Rest well, be at peace, my heroic fallen comrades. You have not died in vain.
If I were asked just a year ago, if it was possible for a retired General to cycle across the length and breadth of India to pay homage to our martyrs, I would have had my reservations. But now the learning has been reinforced: if something seems daunting or even impossible on the face of it, it gets done if only you take the first step!
The Indian Air Force has come under heavy criticism for denying study leave to a corporal-rank airman on the grounds that only officers were entitled to such a privilege.
The airman had sought the leave for pursuing M Tech from IIT Dhanbad after topping the entrance exams. The incident comes to light at a time when the armed forces are facing issues of strained relations between officer and soldier amid a growing demand for change in the archaic British-era rules and ensure equal benefits for officers and jawans.
Taking a strong view against the “discriminatory policy”, the Delhi High Court in its February 20 order reprimanded the air force and asked it to frame fair rules for both officers and men.
A corporal is designated as non-commissioned personnel in IAF. “Don’t deny them equality by refusing them leave to pursue higher studies only on the grounds of rank and status,” the bench headed by Justice Indira Bannerjee said in the order. Ankur Chhibber, the counsel for corporal BK Verma, told Mail Today that Verma had sought permission for pursuing his M Tech from IIT Dhanbad, after appearing for the graduate aptitude test in engineering exam with permission from Air Force authorities.
DIFFICULT TO APPRECIATE RATIONALE: DELHI HC
“However, that was rejected by Air Force on grounds that there was no provision for sending air force jawans on study leave and this was allowed only for officers,” Chhibber said.
The IAF grants leave of maximum 28 months to its officers who have completed 15 years of service for pursuing courses in institutions which are approved and certified by it and the knowledge gained from them can be utilised by the service.
Aggrieved by the decision of the senior authorities despite recommendation by several of his officers to allow him to proceed for the course, Verma approached the Delhi High Court. Verma’s counsel said the airman was a meritorious student and had completed his B Tech degree while carrying out his duties as a soldier in the force and had secured a gold medal in his B Tech course which was quite an achievement.
The Delhi High Court bench took a favourable view of the petition observing that the Air Force should appreciate the intellect and erudition of the soldier and encourage him by giving him opportunity to enhance his knowledge skills. The court stated that it is very difficult to appreciate the rationale behind differentiation between officer and airmen in the matter of granting study leave.
“It is, in our view, preposterous to assume that only officers would have aspirations of improving their knowledge and educational qualifications, and not the airmen,” the two-member bench said. The court observed that the discrimination between officers and airmen for grant of study leave was “totally discriminatory and violation of the article 14 of the Indian constitution”.
Setting aside the Air Force order to deny study leave to the soldier, the High Court ordered it to frame “non-discriminatory leave rules and reconsider the application of the soldier for study leave in light of the observations made (by the court).” Verma, according to his lawyer, has going through his first semester in Dhanbad as he was granted interim relief by the court. The Air Force is now considering whether it should go against the court order in the Supreme Court or not. Generally, Air Force is considered to be more lenient than the Navy and Army while dealing with its men.
From October 2015 to February 2016, Captain Pawan Kumar led his troop in four successful operations that resulted in the elemination of six terrorists. On 20 February 2016, still recovering from his past injury and contrary to the medical advice, Captain Pawan Kumar led his troop during Pampore operation at Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Despite grave personal risk the officer conducted close reconnaissance of the target building and decided to conduct building intervention operation – a high risk option to obviate collateral damage. Leading from the front, he reached the top floor, firing into the door and window of the room in which the terrorists were holed up.
As he kicked the door to lob the grenade inside, the hidden terrorist shot him from a close range. Undeterred by his grievous injuries and refusing evacuation, the officer kept firing at the terrorist killing him. His gallant action saved the lives of his comrades and set the stage for elimination of remaining terrorists.
Captain Pawan Kumar displayed unparalleled courage and indomitable spirit in four consecutive operations and made supreme sacrifice for the nation.

Since the PIB-Press Information Bureau posted the result of CDS 1 2017 and deleted it later on, there were lot of confusion raised among the candidates, candidates who were able to find their names in the list posted by PIB were happy but at the same time they were not sure if the similar result will be posted by UPSC. The confusion arises when PIB posted the result before UPSC which apparently happened for the first time. Also, this time CDS result is declared in record breaking time, earlier it used to take months but this time it was delivered to aspirants within a month. .
We posted the CDS result of PIB earlier and informed candidates about it, we asked candidates to wait for the UPSC to publish the result but few were saying that the CDS 1 2017 result posted by PIB is fake and UPSC will publish the final result and it will be completely different. Even few candidates confirmed that they had a talk with UPSC and UPSC said they are still checking the papers. But finally all rumours are kept aside and here is the comparison between PIB and UPSC result of CDS 1 2017.
Observations:
Most of the roll numbers are same.
Very Few candidates who had roll numbers in PIB result is missing in UPSC result and vice versa. This is told to us by candidates only, if you are one of them kindly comment below. We tried finding some missing roll numbers but didn’t get any. Result seems to be 99% similar.
UPSC and PIB results might have minute variation but overall it is the same.
So finally, today UPSC has published the result of CDS 1 2017 written exam, the same result was published by PIB few days back and deleted later on. Many candidates were in doubt whether the result posted by PIB is wrong/fake or correct, but today UPSC has published the same result. This time CDS 1 2017 result is published very soon unlike earlier where it used to take months. It seems like since the number of applicants in CDS are dropping, UPSC wants to expedite the whole process and make aspirants interested in exam like CDS.

The incident had happened when the officer (name withheld) – who gets a salary of around Rs 65,000-70,000 per month – visited the CSD canteen in the Madh Island air force base in Mumbai in February 2013 to buy something and stole one of the two black wallets kept there, an IAF officerl told Mail Today.
The theft of the wallet could not be detected by the canteen officers for two days and an investigation into the matter had started when one of the wallet covers was found lying empty, they said.
“When the CCTV footage was checked, it was observed that the officer of the rank of Flt Lt had picked up the wallet and put it in his rear trouser pocket for concealing it from canteen staff, and after that, he was attached for trial by the authorities concerned,” said the officer.
The General Court Martial also found him guilty and recommended him to be severely reprimanded, pay back Rs 531 as the cost of the wallet stolen by him to the unit and also forfeit one-year service for the purpose of promotion.

However, the then Air Force chief took a lenient view of the case and removed the loss of seniority from his punishment but the officer decided to approach the Armed Forces Tribunal to get the proceedings against him to be quashed completely.
In the tribunal, the judges watched the CCTV footage before deciding the case. The bench headed by AFT chairman Justice Virender Singh found him not only indulging in theft but also trying to conceal his act.
It said it supported the decision taken by the IAF whose chief had already applied his mind in the case and given relief to the officer.
