Story Of Lt Anjana Mohan, Lawyer, Dancer To Army Sword of Honour

When Lt Anjana Mohan bagged the ‘Sword of Honour’ in the combined course of Short Service Commission 99 and Short Service Commission (women) 13 at the Indian Army’s Officer Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai, she had not only stood out among scores of men and women, but also achieved the rare feat of being the first woman to get the best all-round cadet award.

“The army is a way of life, not just a profession,” said the Sanpada resident at the headquarters of MG&G (Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa) area in Colaba as her mother Laila Karkera beamed with pride.

A lawyer by profession, Lt Anjana Mohan chose to opt for the road less travelled when she spotted an advertisement for posts in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) branch. The JAG comprises legally qualified army officers.

“The 11-month training made me realise that I can expand the limit of my capabilities by conditioning my mind, and with persistence. The exercises and tasks blurred the idea of impossibility so much that if anyone springs up a seemingly herculean task, I will give it a good try,” says the 25-year-old. During the training, Lt Anjana Mohan also won a silver medal for cross-country running in the junior level and a merit card for the same in the senior level.

Among the many hats that Lt Anjana Mohan adorns is her proficiency in Bharatanatyam, which she started learning at the age of three.

Revealing that she would soon move to Srinagar, Lt Anjana Mohan said, “I’m leaving my family to be part of another family.” She asserted that she was done with her initial training and will get several opportunities to upgrade her knowledge of law in the years to come.

10 Reasons Why Should You Salute & Respect That Soldier At The LoC

June 28, 2015

At the Line of Control, young Indian soldiers — in their 20s and 30s — defend one of the world’s most volatile borders. Battling harsh weather, tough terrain and a hostile enemy — as old as the Indian nation itself — these soldiers face a war every day to hold the peace.

1. From these border posts, soldiers keep a strict watch — 24x7x365 — defending the Line of Control. Keeping a day and night vigil to prevent Pakistani infiltrators from crossing into India.

2. When the winter fog comes in, you won’t be able to make out whether you are seeing a rock or a man if it is stationery.

3. Last year, 15 Indian soldiers lost their lives in counter infiltration/counter-terrorism operations; 45 others were seriously injured defending the border in Jammu and Kashmir.

4. This is a job which comes with no weekend or festival breaks.

5. At the LoC men begin to trust their ears more than their eyes.

6. Here trust has no frivolous interpretation; it can simply mean ‘I will die for you’.

7. ‘Though it looks very calm, it can explode any time’

8. ‘Fighting insurgency is a full scale war. It’s a war every day’

9. ‘Can you trust the person across? Never!’

10. They Live and Die for the country and its people. Selfless service.

MNC: Private Players In India’s Development. ‘Make in India’, a dream to make India self-dependent is being seen as about to be true. The private sector seems to be assisting the government in the nation’s development. Well, this move has made a great difference and is expected to build up the economy and all related sectors swiftly. These days MNCs are showing their keen interest in various deals and coming forward for getting the deals.

Tata, Godrej Bidding to get UAV- Rustom Deal – UAVs are the new soldiers that are being seen as the game changer in the battleground and most favorable thing is, it’s remotely operating feature will reduce the life loss. India’s indigenous, medium altitude, long endurance (MALE) UAV Rustom (used in surveillance) which is developed by DRDO is now facing biddings from private players. TATA, Godrej, L&T and Boyce are the bidders owing to the production of UAV Rustom.

L&T Deal with AREVA – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to France was concluded fruitfully for India. 17 agreements were signed in various fields like satellite communications, railways, tourism, conservation and education. The agreement between engineering company Larsen and Turbo (L&T) and French company AREVA was one of them. This agreement will point toward the financial viability of the Jaitapur nuclear plant project by reducing cost and speeding localization. The significance of the agreement for India is that this will help France for transfer of technology to India, which will lead India in indigenous nuclear energy industry’s development. According to L&T, the agreement is a step of company toward pressurized water reactor technology.

Reliance’s Infrastructure’s Entry in Defense Sector – Anil Ambani (owner of Reliance Infrastructure) has recently agreed to buy 18% stake of debt Laden Pipavav Defense and offshore engineering which marked Anil Ambani’s entry in defense sector. This deal is assigned as Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative. Hero group and Mahendra and Mahendra were also in the race. This step shows a positive sign of private sector getting attracted toward the defense sector. TATA, Mahendra, Hero and others are some example of it. Pipavav Defense is one of the largest infrastructure facilities in the world, settled in Gulf of Cambay, Gujarat having specified area for ship building, which is capable of constructing submarines and aircraft carriers in collaboration with Swedish company SAAB (the producer of Grippen Aircraft).

Kalyani Group to Build ultra-light Howitzer Guns– Bharat Forge, a company of Kalyani group, is all set to come above as the first MNC to indigenously develop towed gun artillery system. Bharat Forge has been a supplier of Indian Army for 30 years. If the deal got successfully done, will reduce the requirement of artillery guns (155mm caliber) in Indian Army. The group is confident in manufacturing the guns in next 20- 25 months.

India is all set to completely strength up its muscles and collaboration of private companies (MNCs) are making the task easy. These MNCs are pumping the foreign technology into India and making profit from Gov. Deals. This is beneficial for both government as well as MNCs. The commencement of this new version of development has grown new expectations for a bright future of INDIA.

General Knowledge: India and Peace

India is a country of diversity. It has always been a place for tourists, pilgrims, refugees and many more. From this, you might be thinking that India is a peaceful place to stay in. But, you will be surprised to know that the statistics of India for peace is quite disappointing. Let’s have a look at the facts and figures.

Table of Contents

Ranking (World)

Institute for Economics and Peace reported that India is among 20 least peaceful nations. India ranked 143 out of 162 nations consecutively second time. Other major rankers are U.S. at 94^th rank. Our close neighbors, specifically SAARC nations also got around India in the rankings. Pakistan got ranked 145. Even Sri Lanka went over India with 133^rd rank. Nepal did well at 82^nd place. While Bangladesh and Bhutan positioned at 87^th and 36^th rank.

Ranking (Asia-Pacific)

And if we talk about the Asia Pacific region, then India got 19^th rank out of 25 nations. New Zealand has topped the list of peaceful nations in Asia-pacific nations. While estimations rolled down Iran to the position of least peaceful among Asia-Pacific nations. This will probably be because of growing ISIS menace in Iran, which is acquiring more area as the time passes.

Base of Ranking

Well, the point of concern is the factors that govern the peacefulness of a nation. According to the report the world has become slightly less peaceful in the past few years. The involvement in the conflict, internal conflicts, human rights abuse and high rate of deaths are the reason behind the deprecation in peace. India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan are the main countries which fell down in the peace index records.

How to Improve

Proper functioning of government– The proper functioning of government is necessary for the establishment of a peaceful nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed the governance to some extent in his 1^st year in office. It still needs more emphasize on proper governance.

Respect of Human Rights – According to the sources, the overall measures of human rights has seen improvement. And the death majorly terrorism. Well, India is not that bad in this field, but there is a need to improve it and take it to a next level. Increased violence rate made it more complicated to overcome. U.S also got a decrease in ranking due to Boston bombing and related gun fights that occurred last year.

Least Corruption Rate- Well, corruption has been a headache for India for a long time. The government has made stiff rules and doing best to overcome it, but still it needs more time and management in India to remove it from the root.

Involvement in Education and Freedom of Information– India’s RTI was implemented a decade ago. But is not that famous as it is in the most peaceful countries. And education is also the issue which is yet to be solved in India. The current literacy rate of India is 74% (2011 censes) but need more improvement.

So, if these steps are performed well, then there will not be any doubt that India will be the first preference of stay.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles New Soldiers In The Sky

Various technologies are replacing human presence in war and also increased distant warfare and remote soldiers and weapons. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAVs, have changed the face of war and are seen as the future of modern warfare. Poor countries and militant groups are trying to opt it frequently as it helps in increasing air capability more easily. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAVs, these days have been used in diverse ways and they seemed to be a replacement of observatory systems of a military. India is the biggest importer of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAVs and has many indigenous and bought UAVs. An overlook of these UAVs is as follows.

Table of Contents

UAV Nishant

Nishant is the Indian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that is developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment, a branch of DRDO for Indian armed forces. The main task of Nishant is the intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, artillery fire correction, surveillance and target destination. This UAVs needs a launching system, Mobile Hydro-Pneumatic Launcher mounted on Tatra truck and landing through parachute and landing bags.

UAV Panchi

Punchi is a wheeled version of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Nishant which is undergoing trials. UAV Panchi has some plus points as compared to UAV Nishant. It doesn’t contain parachutes and landing bags which reduces its weight and increases its endurance and its small size as compared to Nishant makes it hard to find in the enemy’s sky.

UAV Rostum

DRDO gave birth to Rustom-I in 2009 and Rustom-II is scheduled in 2015 for Army, Navy and Airforce. Indian government has approved the production of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Rustom and the three forces of India are negotiating with the four vendors of it namely L&T, Godrej, Tata, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bharat Electronics. Its first test flight in 2009 was failed, but next flight in 2010 was successful and impressed Indian Army.

UAV Lakshya

This pilotless target aircraft is manufactured by HAL and Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) of DRDO for the primary use of Army, Navy and Airforce. The main purpose of its development is target acquisition and reconnaissance. It has a rocket assisted launch and lands through a parachute. The glamour of this UAV attracted many countries like Singapore, Israel, etc.

UAV Pawan

Another soldier bird, whose production started in 2006 by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries. Its day and night surveillance ability makes it a better option. It has 150 km range and 5-hour flight endurance. Currently, India is planning to develop 4 prototypes of Pawan with Israel Aerospace Industries.

UAV AURA (Autonomous Unnamed Research Vehicle)

This unnamed stealth bomber, specially designed by the ADA, DRDO for Indian Airforce. It has the capability to carry smart weapons and efficiently release missile and drop bombs on targets.

UAV Heron

India currently has about 12 Heron-1 drones, used for surveillance and rescue operations. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Heron had done an appraisable job in 2004 when tsunami struck India. A deal had been signed in 2013 the for the procurement of 15 UAVs from Israel, which will empower India’s sky bases operations.

UAV Raven

After U.S. officials denied the deal of global hawk with India, UAV Raven came to limelight. According to media reports, U.S. and India are discussing the deal to jointly produce Raven RQ-II. It is a small hand-launched remote-controlled Unnamed Arial Vehicle. It provides day and night aerial intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance. Well, India has developed mini unnamed vehicle “Sky bird” and hand-launched UAV Imperial Eagle. Both these have joined the race of being approved by Indian Army.

Some other UAVs and UCAVs are under trails and under development and will be introduced in forces as soon as possible. Well, these are just the beginning of a new era of war and will surely reduce the life loss. If these technologies went on increasing, then winning a war is nothing more like a game.

1. Flying Officer Anupam Chowdhry, Helicopter Pilot, Years in the Indian Air Force: 5: “I don’t feel any difference between a man or a woman in my profession. I am doing what I am supposed to do as any other pilot”

2. Flight Lieutenant Shalini, Fighter Controller, Number of years in the Indian Air Force: 9: “We are trained to make split second decisions as we monitor the air space. We also maintain separation between our own aircraft so that they are safe and collision free,”

3. Flight Lieutenant Karishma Sethi, Education Officer, Number of years in the Indian Air Force: 5: ” I met a very fine lady officer who motivated me to join the air force. I must confess the film Lakshya also played a role,”

4. Squadron Leader Sonia Raheja, Administration, Number of years in the Indian Air Force: 14: “These past years have given me a very varied experience. You cannot get this kind of exposure in a civilian job in terms of the people you command and the kind of duties you do,”

5. Squadron Leader K M Priya, Aeronautical Engineer, Years in the Indian Air Force: 13: “People think there is more money abroad, but here again attitude comes into play, Six years ago, officers may have felt so, but now money is good and the service gives you enough facilities and professional opportunities. My friends envy me because I am in the forces.”

6. Squadron Leader Manju Bhaskar, Station Adjutant, Number of years in the Indian Air Force: 15: “I feel people outside do not understand what we do in the service of the country. It is only when a Kargil happens that we get their attention. It should not be so.”
