Indian--Ocean-Region–Possession-of-the-Powerful

“The true power lies with the country that dominates the seas” – by Alfred Mahan, US Navy flag Officer. India are China are biggest contender in the race of military and economic platforms. China these days got lots of publicity regarding the issue of South China Sea that started with the Senkaku Island. This issue made China’s relation a bit sour with Vietnam and some other countries and recently with India too. More over China’s military extension toward Indian borders is also a matter of concern. Construction of railway network near border and proposed railway network to its close friend Pakistan was revealed in Sino-Pak Economic Corridor. Indian Ocean also plays a major role in relations of these two countries. China see Indian Ocean as the best way to speed up trade. China’s 60% energy import passes through sea routes which will increase to 75% in upcoming years. So, China is taking keen interest in expanding its arms towards Indian Ocean for ease of trade and domination over Indian Ocean region.

String of Pearls by China

An initiative of China where each pearl is meant for ports having investment from China. The revival of maritime silk route is seen as an attempt to counter “String of Pearls” argument. The motive of this strategy include different phases. According to the sources the motives ranges from resources and commercial interests to diplomatic and finally security and military interests. Well this step is to pacify China’s rival India’s developing and strengthening status. Pakistan, an all-weather friend of China got investment for construction of port in Gwadar. China has also made investments in Chittagong in Bangladesh, Kyaukphyu in Myanmar, and Hambantota in Sri Lanka. The major aim behind string of pearls seems to impose dominance over South China Sea.Indian--Ocean-Region–Possession-of-the-Powerful

Iron Curtain by India

To deter Chinese presence in Indian Ocean region (IOR) and to become a true blue water navy, India made a strategy to neutralize the Chinese effect in IOR. This strategy was termed as IRON CURTAIN. India is currently discussing on fields of investment in Nepal Bhutan and Bangladesh. India had started construction of switte port in 2010 in Myanmar. Along with this, India became successful in setting up posts in Mauritius, Seychelles, Mozambique and Madagascar. India has also got berthing right in omen and Vietnam which will help India in expanding its influence.

Conclusion

Indian Ocean Region is always seen like a treasure box due to resource deposits, trade and military’s point of view. India’s step to construct Chabahar port also made a positive step toward expanding strength. As well as India’s cordial military relations with Mauritius (exported Indian coast guard’s barracuda) , Seychelles to whom India gifted PS constant petrol vessel last year and Dornier 228 maritime reconnaissance aircraft in 2013 and similar relations with other countries in contact with Indian Ocean. While China want its dominance in Indian Ocean to occupy a major position in trade and commerce. If China has largest army then, India possess great minds. India’s foreign policy has played a crucial role in establishing sound relations with its neighbors. But still India is boosting its military and defense sectors for bad times.

INS VIRAAT – A Lost Tale for Indian Navy

INS-VIRAAT–A-Lost-Tale-for-Indian-Navy

Indian Navy has many beasts and long history behind them. Some of them are retired, some are under development and some are serving in Navy. But some ships have proved that ‘Old is Gold’. Here we are talking about INS Viraat.

It was expected to be decommissioning INS Viraat by 2015-16, but some upgradation made in it increased its life till 2020. As the maintenance cost of the ship was increasing, the decommissioning was later scheduled in 2016-17. Well, the future of the ship is assumed to be same as that of old INS Vikrant which hard to convert in a museum. Indian Navy gave three options for INS Viraat after decommissioning- sell it in an auction, making it a museum, or using it for target practice. But the idea of converting to a museum seems to be a bad choice as seen in the case of INS Vikraant. According to a Navy official, the average shelf life of an aircraft carrier is approx. 25 years. It has completed more than 50 years and has been in Indian Navy for more than 25 years which makes it different and special in the world. But, INS has over lived its life span. After the deal of Admiral Gorshkov for Indian navy as INS Vikramaditya, Indian Navy emphasized on new and good ships.INS-VIRAAT–A-Lost-Tale-for-Indian-Navy

Its replacement will be INS Vikrant which was undocked a few days ago and is undergoing trails.

INS Viraat is the oldest aircraft carrier in the world which was built in the British era and still serving in Indian Navy. It is expected to get decommissioned in 2016-17. It was commissioned in 1959 in Royal Navy as HMS Hermes and later in 1987, it was transferred to India in a deal worth $ 63 million. It had got a few breaks during service, like in 1993, when water flooded into its engine but later it came back in service in 1995 and between 1999 & 2001 after which it came with several new upgraded parts extending its life till 2010. Latest rift was seen in 2012 which increased its life till 2016. It has four onboard squadrons of INAS 330, 552, 321 and 300. And still, it supports Indian Navy with INS Vikramaditya in service. INS Viraat has done a great job during its service and is going to leave the Indian Navy in next few years.

Indian Navy has seen many wars and has made India proud on every platform. But, as the need of modern and highly strong weapons and fleets is observed, then the aging machines need to be replaced. Compromise with national security is never spared. Not only Indian Navy but Indian Air Force is also heading to replace its aircrafts with indigenous and foreign bought aircrafts. Similarly, army is also on the way to upgrade the existing weapons and including new artillery guns and missiles for strengthening itself.  Replacement is a rule of nature and it is essential for survival. Either you adapt according to the requirement or get replaced. So Viraat is going to be decommissioned and will be known for its exceptionally long life it served in Indian waters.

St. Patricks at Deolali was his first school, after which he studied at St Georges, Agra & APS Delhi. His formative & most memorable years were spent at the Army Public School, Dagshai from where he passed out in 1992. Not one for academics he excelled in games & sports & other extra curricular activities.

His ambition was partly fulfilled on passing out from the IMA in June 1997. He was commissioned into the first battalion of the Parachute Regiment.

“My life in the army”, he confessed to a friend, ” is doomed if I do not clear the probation”.

Clear it he did and was with the paltan for five wonderful years before volunteering for the Special Group – the mavericks. He soon became one of them.

His brief career was spent almost entirely in the mountains of Kashmir with a few months here and there given to the short courses run by the army. He did the free fall & the para jumps along with a course in deep sea diving.

He loved what he did never regretting for an instant his choice of career. His life in the army was a source of great pride and enthusiasm. It was all that he had ever wished it to be.Story Of Major Udai Singh PARA Special Force

Major Shaitan Singh was commanding a company of infantry battalion deployed at a height of about 17,000 feet. The locality was isolated from the main defended sector and consisted of five defended platoon positions.

During November 1962, the Chinese subjected the company position to heavy artillery, mortar and small arms fire and attacked in overwhelming strength in successive waves. Against heavy odds, our troops beat back the enemy attack. During the action, Major Shaitan Singh dominated the scene of operations, and moved at great personal risk from one platoon post to another sustaining the morale of his hard-pressed platoon posts. While doing so, he was seriously wounded but continued to encourage and lead his men who, following his brave example fought gallantly and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy. For every man lost by us, the enemy lost four to five . When Major Shaitan Singh fell disabled by wounds in his arms and abdomen, his men tried to evacuate him but came under heavy machine gun fire. Maj Shaitan Singh ordered his men to leave him to his fate in order to save their lives.PARAM VIR CHAKRA Major Shaitan Singh, PVC (Posthumous)

Major Shaitan Singh’s supreme courage, leadership and exemplary devotion to duty inspired his company to fight almost to the last man. The heroic resistance put up by this gallant soldier with his company against the assault of more than one thousand Chinese, is not only a tribute to the Regiment, but also a matter of pride for soldiers, the World over. These brave soldiers fought to the last man and last round. For this historic battle Major Shaitan Singh was awarded Param Vir Chakra. Undoubtedly, the battle of Rezang La is a great feat of leadership, courage and unswerving determination in the annals of Military History. Appropriately the plaque at the memorial of Rezang La says: –

How can a man die better
than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
and the temple of his Gods”

General-Knowledge-All-About-POKHRAN

Pokhran is a place that comes under Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. It has a significant role in nuclear tests. It is a remote area under the Thar Desert. The test invited a wide range of responses and actions from all over the world.

Smiling Budha and Pokhran:
Smiling Budha is the name assigned to the first nuclear bomb test that took place on 18 May 1974 during the regime of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. The name Smiling Budha was given to it because it was done on the occasion of Budha Jayanti. It was 1st test by any country outside five permanent members of United Nation Security Council. This test was called ‘Peaceful Nuclear Explosion’ but actually it was not so.
— After Test Situation- The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi became much popular after military’s victory over Pakistan in 1971 war. The test added fame to her status. Scientists involved in the test, Homi Seth (chairman of Atomic Energy Commission), Raja Ramanna of BARC and Basanti Nagchaudhri of DRDO, were honored with Padma Vibhushan. Five other members of project were honored with Padma Shri. India came out with the statement that the test was peaceful and was not for militarizing its nuclear program.
— International Reaction- In response of the India’s nuclear test, Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was formed in order to check international nuclear proliferation. Well Pakistan paused all relations and canceled talks scheduled on 10 June 1974. Chairman of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission said that this test forced Pakistan to test its own nuclear bomb. On the other hand, the plutonium used in the program was created in the reactor supplied by Canada which later stopped the nuclear energy assistance of two heavy water reactor which were under construction. While, U.S. provided enriched uranium to India for Tarapur reactor and said that the test don’t violate any agreement. France also sent a telegram congratulating India over nuclear test. But later it withdrew the telegram. General-Knowledge-All-About-POKHRAN
Pokhran II
Five nuclear tests were done by DRDO and Atomic Energy Commission on 11 and 13 May, 1998 at Pokhran, given the name “Pokhran II” and code named as Shakti. The test consists of 1 fusion and 4 fusion type bomb. The test preparations and secrecy was ensured by 58th engineering regiment of Indian Army.
— National Reaction- India became 6th country who tested nuclear bombs. Just after India’s fame speeded over the globe, India’s stocks gained new heights. But still congress criticized India’s test. Sanctions imposed by U.S. after test led to the loss for some sectors of the country.
–International Reaction- A strong reaction was faced from the neighbor, Pakistan. Immediately after the test, it declared that it is also prepared for performing its nuclear test. Indian and PAK PM Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Nawaz Sharif were awarded IG Nobel peace prize. U.S. imposed sanctions on India freezing all assistance except humanitarian aid. While UNSC and Canada condemned the test and China also requested international community to put pressure to sign NTP. Japan paused all loans except humanitarian aid. And later U.S. pressurized India to be a part of CTBT and NPT. But India’s firm stand took India to a secure place.

Why Pokhran is Recently in News:
A committee of experts will be formed to probe the issue of increased radiation level as a result of Pokhran-I and Pokhran-II tests. According to the residents of khetolai village, approx. 2.5 k.m. from Pokhran, the radiation level in the village has increased the cancer and psychiatric disease in the village along with the drastic fall in milk production in castles.

Lecturette: Un-Employment Problem in India

Lecturette-Un-Employment-Problem-in-India

Lecturette: Un-Employment Problem in India. Unemployment problem has been generated because of increased automation, population explosion and lack of proper handling of large number of labor force in general. It has resulted in widespread inequality and a solution is desperately sought. Statistics shows that India has the world’s largest youth count which is about 66% of the population.

Meaning of Unemployment

Unemployment is a situation where a person who is willing to work fails to get a job, which can provide him a regular income. Hence, a person who works for just few weeks in a year & consequently doesn’t earn a regular income, also fall within the range of unemployment & be classified as underemployment.

Types of Unemployment

Different countries depending on their level of development, face different kinds of unemployment.

-Cyclic Unemployment.

-Technological Unemployment.

-Frictional Unemployment.

-Structural Unemployment.

-Disguised Unemployment.

Last three types of unemployment are common in developing and underdeveloped countries like India.

On rural front both seasonal and disguised unemployment increased because of lack of irrigation facilities, recent crop failure and unavailability of temporary jobs for few months of cultivation of corps. Urban unemployment, referred as Industrial & Educated Unemployment has increased because of the lack of organized manufacturing. But, since last few years, the graph of unemployment is declining, that means the number of unemployed people are decreasing day by day.Lecturette-Un-Employment-Problem-in-India

Causes of Unemployment

Agriculture Background: Nearly half of the Indian population belongs to agriculture sector. As agriculture is a seasonal process, it leads to seasonal un-employment. Not only that, in case of irregular weather conditions, the farmers had to face the crop failure. As a result, they undergo unemployment.

Over Population: Currently Indian is suffering from rapidly increasing human population. This is due to increase in birth rate, decrease in death rate and increase in life expectancy. This leads to a situation where more aspirants are available for a single job.

Race for Government Jobs: Youngster of today’s generation prefer to reside at home and prepare for limited seats in government jobs instead of other private options. The best example is Delhi, where countless graduate students live in the hope to prepare for the government exams and got selected in any of its sector.

Solution to Unemployment:

Job Oriented and Skill Oriented Education System: Today, there must be an education system which should be focused on making the students skillful and make them job ready. With that, they will get the right job according to their skillset.

Initialization of Job Oriented Government Schemes: Government has always tried its best to overcome this problem. Till now, many employment related schemes has been initialized by the government which majorly includes Self Employment to Educated Unemployed Youth (SEEUY) started in 1983, Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Program started in 1982, and many more.
Indian government is doing its best to generate employment and eradicate poverty which is an outcome of overpopulation. MNEREGA, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushal Yojna and skill development are going simultaneously to enhance the ability of youth to grab a good employment opportunity. But still India is having a lot work to do in this field to accelerate its development and pace up its economy. According to the facts unemployment rate in India decreased to 4.9% in 2013 from 5.2 in 2012. An all India level survey also states that nearly 49.5% persons are estimated to be self-employed.
