How to DISRESPECT your Army everyday?

Spread The Word











My Heartfelt Dhanyawaad (Thank you) and Naman (Respects) to those brave Bharatiya (misnomer: Indian) Shoorveer Soldiers and their families for selflessly sacrificing themselves to protect our Dharmbhoomi, our Karmbhoomi, our Matrbhoomi. We, our past and our future generations will always be indebted to you for your valor. Vande Mataram!

Now, This one is for all those Islamic Fundamentalist Anti-Hindu Anti-Bharat Pakistanis and particularly Pervez Musharraf, who has recently admitted that it was the Pakistani Army under him who directly planned, aided and abetted the Kargil war against Bharat with the support of Islamic Mujahideen terrorists: F**k YOU! Pusillanimous Bharatiya Government is too busy surrendering with an Adaab than to say this to you, so I'll say: F**k YOU. You all should be tried in International Courts for Gruesome War Crimes you committed on Bharatiya Prisoners of War (POW) by torturing and mutilating their bodies.

Captain Saurabh Kalia: Brutally tortured and killed by Pakistanis. By Kanchan Gupta
A Kargil story that should be remembered by us, and told to our children again and again lest future generations forget, is that of Captain Saurabh Kalia and his team of five soldiers who were on duty at Bajrang Post in the Kaksar area on May 15. Suddenly there was heavy firing from across the Line of Control; Captain Kalia and his men responded in full measure; tragically, they ran out of ammunition. Before they could send out an SOS (there have been suggestions that their communications equipment failed to work), Captain Kalia and his men were surrounded by Pakistani soldiers. Later, Skardu Radio reported that they had been taken alive. On June 7, 1999, their bodies were handed over by the Pakistani Army. For the 20-odd days that Captain Kalia and his men were alive, they were brutally tortured in captivity — their mutilated bodies bore the evidence of chilling inhumanity: Ear drums pierced with hot iron rods, eyeballs carved out with knives, genitals chopped off, every bone broken and splintered. And, after all this, they were shot in the head. No apology was offered, none was sought!
If someone wants to learn how to disrespect a decorated Senior Army Officer, they should take tuition from Jayanthi Natarajan of Muslim Rightist Congress. She disrespected the Former Chief of Army Staff General Shankar Roy Choudhary when he called the apathy of present Congress Government and despicable comment of their Minister in a political debate that they will not celebrate Kargil Victory because it was achieved under Former Prime Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee of BJP led NDA Government and many more such acts of indifference as mentioned in articles below as Disgusting and Nauseating. He said such debates should be buried away along with Disgusting, Nauseating, Shrill and Vituperative political parties which make such statements. Such debates have no meaning for the defense services.

He called 26/11 Islamic Jihadi Terrorist Attack in Mumbai as an Urban Kargil. Ms. Natarajan got furious and lost her temper and disrespected General Choudhary for speaking his mind. He was doing nothing but exercising his Right to Freedom of Speech. But as a person of his stature from an Army background is expected to behave, General Choudhary remained respectful of her. He didn't loose his temper, he apologized if she has taken it to heart and politely said that he sticks to his comments. Self Glorifying & Sycophantic Bharatiya Politicians think that they are above all and can disrespect anyone, anywhere. Just like Leftist Communist Party (Marxist)'s Chief Minister of Kerela V. S. Achuthanandan derided and abused the parents of Brave Soldier Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who died during 26/11 Islamic Jihadi Terrorist Attack.

Just because when in power you name over 600 Institutes, Roads, Airports, Stadiums, Schools, Colleges, University, etc. after 4 people from Nehru-Gandhi-Maino clan, it doesn't mean you are patriotic. If you would have sent you heir to some Military school and then served Armed Forces for a few years like Prince of UK went to Iraq/Afghanistan on service and many US Presidents have done so in past then you would know the pain of a Patriotic Soldier who you so easily disrespect. Now your Prince Raul Vinci was partying hard till 5 AM in the morning on the night of 26/11 is another story of immorality for some other day.

In the end General Choudhary said that while all the victories of Bharatiya Defense Forces are equally important. He said there is only one victory which should be celebrated as "Vijay Diwas" which is when we created Bangladesh. A victory which the Muslim Rightist Government shies away from celebrating for unknown reasons.

कारगिल शहीदों के सम्मान की जंग। दैनिक भास्कर
कारगिल के प्रथम शहीद कैप्टन सौरभ कालिया के पिता डा. एनके कालिया ने कहा कि कारगिल युद्ध के दौरान पाकिस्तानी सैनिकों द्वारा बंदी बनाए गए भारतीय सैनिकों से २२ दिनों तक किया गया अमानवीय व्यवहार जेनेवा संधि का सीधे-सीधे उल्लंघन था। इस मामले को अंतरराष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग के समक्ष उठाने के बावजूद अभी तक उनके बेटे की शहादत को न्याय नहीं मिल पाया है। अंतरराष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग ने इस मामले की सुनवाई आरंभ करने से पहले भारत सरकार से अनुमति मांगी है, लेकिन अभी तक भारत सरकार ने अनुमति प्रदान नहीं की है। जिसके चलते सुनवाई लंबित पड़ी है। व्यथित पिता ने कहा कि वे इसके लिए आरटीआई के तहत सरकार से सूचना मांगेंगे।
What about war crimes? - Kargil hero's family to government
A decade ago Captain Saurabh Kalia and five of his men were captured by insurgents in the icy hills of Kargil and tortured for days before their mutilated bodies were handed back. As India commemorates the military victory, Saurabh's parents plan to use the Right to Information Act to know about steps taken by the government to highlight war crimes.

"For the past 10 years, the government is just assuring us that it would highlight the war crimes committed against our son and other soldiers during the Kargil war at the international fora, but nothing concrete has materialised. Now, my next move will be to seek information under the RTI Act in this regard," N K Kalia, 61, a retired senior scientist from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research

"Of course, their supreme sacrifice has made the country proud. But our only grudge is that the Indian government has so far failed to fight the scourge of war crimes at the international level," Kalia, who is now settled at Palampur, 40 km from the district headquarters town of Kangra, said.

"Though the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government (1999-2004) expressed concern at the heinous crime and promised to take up the issue at the international level, in all these years the issues got diluted," Kalia recalled. To highlight the plight of war crimes victims, Kalia has started an online signature campaign.

"The pain of losing a young son is hard to describe in words. But we feel content with the fact that many citizens have supported us through online signature campaigns. Till date more than 13,000 people have put up their signatures," he said.

Today, Saurabh's photographs, his uniforms, shoes and mementoes are kept in his room, which has been named 'Saurabh Smriti Kaksha' (a museum), in the Kalias' four-bedroom house in Palampur.

The Himachal Pradesh government has raised 'Saurabh Van Vihar' in a sprawling area of 35 acres here besides renaming a street in the town as Capt Saurabh Kalia Marg.

करगिल युद्ध: धोखे, दिलेरी और फतह की दास्तां। सुंदर चंद ठाकुर/पूनम पाण्डे, नवभारत टाइम्स
अब जबकि एक इंटरव्यू में जनरल मुशर्रफ ने स्वीकार कर लिया है कि करगिल लड़ाई में आजादी के लिए लड़ रहे 'मुजाहिद्दीन' नहीं बल्कि पाकिस्तानी सेना भी शामिल थी, यह समझा जा सकता है कि भारतीय सैनिकों को आधुनिक हथियारों और पर्याप्त असले-बारूद के साथ करगिल की चोटियों पर जमे दुश्मनों से लड़ना कितना मुश्किल रहा होगा।

दुर्गम चोटियों के बीच
करगिल, नैशनल हाईवे १डी के समानांतर पड़ने वाला पहाड़ी चोटियों से भरा इलाका है। इस नैशनल हाईवे का असली महत्व यह है कि इसी के जरिए पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर, सियाचिन और अक्साई चिन के सामने तैनात भारतीय सेनाओं को हर तरह की सप्लाई की जाती है। हाईवे के साथ लगी चोटियां १८००० फुट की ऊंचाई तक जाती हैं। जाड़ों में इस इलाके में तापमान माइनस ६० डिग्री सेल्सियस तक पहुंच जाता है, यहां भारी बर्फबारी होती है और वनस्पतियों का नामोनिशां नहीं दिखता। ऐसे मौसम की वजह से और यह देखते हुए कि इलाका बहुत दुर्गम है, १९९९ तक भारत और पाकिस्तान की सेनाएं सर्दियों में अपनी कुछ चौकियों को पीछे ले आती रही थीं और पेट्रोलिंग के जरिए ही अपने इलाकों में नजर रखती थीं।

पाक के नापाक इरादे
१९९९ के शुरुआती महीनों में, जबकि ठंड बहुत ज्यादा थी, पाकिस्तान ने ऑपरेशन बद शुरू किया, जिसके तहत पाकिस्तानी सेना की नॉर्दर्न लाइट इन्फेंट्री की कई बटालियन ने अफगानी लड़ाकुओं और अनियमित सेनाओं को लेकर करगिल और दास क्षेत्र में भारतीय सेनाओं द्वारा छोड़ी गई चौकियों पर कब्जा कर लिया। अनियमित सेना और अफगानी लड़ाकुओं को आगे रखा गया था ताकि यह भ्रम फैलाया जा सके कि इसमें पाकिस्तान की नियमित सेना का कोई हाथ नहीं है। इस तरह पाकिस्तानी सेना भारतीय सेना के चौकियों में वापस आने से पहले ही नैशनल हाईवे १डी के साथ लगी १५० वर्ग किलोमीटर में फैली ज्यादातर चोटियों पर कब्जा जमाकर बैठ गई थी। यह वह वक्त था जब पाकिस्तान के तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री नवाज शरीफ भारत से शांति वार्ताओं का सिलसिला शुरू किए हुए थे और पाकिस्तान के सशस्त्र भारतीय सीमा में घुसपैठ करने की किसी को आशंका तक न थी।

...और शुरू हुई जंग
मई १९९९ में एक लोकल ग्वाले से मिली सूचना के बाद बटालिक सेक्टर में ले. सौरभ कालिया के पेट्रोल पर हमले ने उस इलाके में घुसपैठियों की मौजूदगी का पता दिया। शुरू में भारतीय सेना ने इन घुसपैठियों को जिहादी समझा और उन्हें खदेड़ने के लिए कम संख्या में अपने सैनिक भेजे, लेकिन प्रतिद्वंद्वियों की ओर से हुए जवाबी हमले और एक के बाद एक कई इलाकों में घुसपैठियों के मौजूद होने की खबर के बाद भारतीय सेना को समझने में देर नहीं लगी कि असल में यह एक योजनाबद्ध ढंग से और बड़े स्तर पर की गई घुसपैठ थी, जिसमें जिहादी नहीं, पाकिस्तानी सेना भी शामिल थी। यह समझ में आते ही भारतीय सेना ने ऑपरेशन विजय शुरू किया, जिसमें ३०००० भारतीय सैनिक शामिल थे। थल सेना के सपोर्ट में भारतीय वायु सेना ने २६ मई को 'ऑपरेशन सफेद सागर' शुरू किया, जबकि जल सेना ने कराची तक पहुंचने वाले समुद्री मार्ग से सप्लाई रोकने के लिए अपने पूर्वी इलाकों के जहाजी बेड़े को अरब सागर में ला खड़ा किया।

ध्वस्त हुए दुश्मन के मंसूबे
भारतीय सेना की मुश्किल यह थी पाकिस्तान द्वारा कब्जे में लिया गया क्षेत्र लाइन ऑफ कंट्रोल के बहुत नजदीक था और दुर्गम इलाका होने के कारण भारतीय सेना को कम दूरी का फासला बनाकर लड़ना पड़ रहा था। यही वजह थी कि वह वायु सेना का पूरा सपोर्ट लेने की स्थिति में नहीं थी। कब्जे में ली गई हर चोटी की हर चौकी से घुसपैठियों को भेजने की दास्तां असल में भारतीय सेना के युवा अफसरों और जवानों की इंडिविजुअल बहादुरी की दास्तां है। अपनी निजी सुरक्षा की चिंता किए बिना भारतीय सैनिक सामने से आ रही दुश्मन की गोलियों की बौछार के बीच खड़ी चट्टानों, दुजेर्य शिखरों पर चढ़ते दिखाई दिए। कई बार दुश्मन को छकाने के लिए ये हमले उन्होंने रात के अंधेरे में किए। कई बार चारों ओर से उन पर बरसती मौत के बीच उन्होंने चौकियों में घुसकर संगीनों और खुकरियों से दुश्मन का सफाया किया। आखिरकार २६ जुलाई को आखिरी चोटी पर भी फतह पा ली गई। यही दिन अब 'करगिल विजय दिवस' के रूप में मनाया जाता है।
भुला दी गई कारगिल शहीदों की यादें

दर-दर भटक रहे हैं कारगिल शहीद के माता-पिता!

कारगिल शहीद के मातापिता लगा रहे हें कचहरी के चक्कर

बड़े नेता कर रहे कारगिल जाने से परहेजजब कारगिल में विजय दिवस मनाने सारा ज़माना जुटा है, तो प्रधानमंत्री और रक्षामंत्री ने दिल्ली में ही शहीदों को श्रद्धांजलि देने की रस्म अदा कर ली। देशप्रेम पर लंबे-चौड़े भाषण देने वाले हमारे नेताओं को शायद कारगिल जाना उतना ज़रूरी नहीं लगा। आज देश के कोने-कोने से लोग करगिल पहुंचे हैं, लेकिन हमारे नेता यहां आने की ज़हमत नहीं उठा पाए। इन्हें शायद सियासत से फ़ुरसत नहीं मिल रही है। करगिल की जंग अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी के राज में जीती गई थी। यूपीए के राज में विजय दिवस को नज़रअंदाज़ करने के पीछे कहीं, यही वजह तो नहीं? बहरहाल, शहीदों के रिश्तेदार इतने से ही ख़ुश हैं कि सेना के लोग विजय दिवस की अहमियत को बख़ूबी समझते हैं।
'शहीदों की चिताओं पर अब होती है पॉलिटिक्स'
एस. के. नैयर, शहीद कैप्टन अनुज नैयर के पिता
अगर पब्लिक ओपिनियन लिया जाए तो यह निष्कर्ष निकलेगा कि इस देश में युद्ध के वक्त 'जय जवान' कहा जाता है और उसके बंद हो जाने पर 'हट जवान'। जब पब्लिक का यह रवैया है तो क्या उम्मीद की जा सकती है। सरकार तो अपनी ड्यूटी कर रही है। वह पॉलिसी बनाती है, लेकिन उसे लागू करने का काम तो ब्यूरोक्रेसी का है। दुनिया की सबसे भ्रष्ट ब्यूरोक्रेसी शहीदों को क्या देगी, वह तो उनके कफन से भी कमिशन खा सकती है। हम न पब्लिक पर निर्भर हैं न सरकार पर। हममें लड़ने का माद्दा है और हम अपनी लड़ाई खुद लड़ते हैं। आखिरी बार जब फोन पर अनुज से बात हुई थी तो मैंने उससे कहा कि बेटा जी-जान से लड़ना, युद्ध बंदी मत बनना। अपनी राइफल में एक गोली रहने देना और अगर युद्धबंदी बनने की नौबत आए तो खुद को गोली मार लेना। मैंने उससे यह भी कहा कि हार कर कभी घर मत लौटना, अगर हार कर लौटा तो मैं खुद तुझे गोली मार दूंगा। जवाब में अनुज ने कहा कि पापा मैं आपका बेटा हूं, जब तक आखिरी दुश्मन सिपाही को मार नहीं लेता मैं अपनी सांस नहीं छोडूंगा।

आज यह देखकर बहुत दुख होता है कि शहीदों के मसले पर भी राजनीति हो रही है। एक नेता ने यह तक कहा है कि यह बीजेपी की विजय है हम क्यों मनाएं। ऐसे कॉमेंट करने वालों में अगर जरा भी गैरत है तो चुल्लू भर पानी में डूब मरना चाहिए। सिपाही देश के लिए लड़ता है न कि किसी सरकार के लिए। जिस दिन फौजी सरकार के लिए लड़ने लगेगा हिंदुस्तान गुलाम हो जाएगा। जब अनुज आर्मी में गया तो फॉर्म पर साइन करने वक्त मैंने उससे कहा कि आज से तुम इस देश के सिपाही हो। देश का सम्मान तुम्हारे व्यक्तिगत सम्मान से कहीं ज्यादा है। इसकी हमेशा रक्षा करना। अनुज के शहीद होने के बाद हमारे आस पड़ोस का हमें बहुत प्यार मिला, लेकिन हमें उस प्यार से दूर होना पड़ा। तब हम जनकपुरी में रहते थे। वहां लोगों के लिए अनुज जैसे भगवान हो गया था। हम सब्जी खरीदने जाते तो सब्जी वाला पैसे नहीं लेता, दूध वाला भी पैसे लेने से मना कर देता। जनकपुरी में अनुज के नाम से एक सरकारी स्कूल है। मैं वहां हर २८ अगस्त को जाता हूं। उस दिन अनुज का जन्मदिन होता है। अनुज के नाम से हम स्कूलों में बेस्ट परफॉर्मन्स करने वाले बच्चों को ट्रोफी देते हैं।

कर्नल वी.एन. थापर, शहीद कैप्टन विजयंत थापर के पिता
हमारे देश के नेता यह क्यों नहीं समझते कि अगर राष्ट्रीय घटनाओं को याद नहीं किया जाएगा तो उनका अर्थ नहीं रह जाएगा। मुझे यह जानकर बहुत अफसोस हुआ कि कांग्रेस के एक नेता ने करगिल की जीत को बीजेपी से जोड़कर कहा कि सरकार विजय दिवस को बड़े स्तर पर नहीं मनाएगी। सरकार याद करे या न करे, मेरे बेटे रॉबिन (शहीद कैप्टन विजयंत) को जनता भरपूर याद कर रही है। मैंने विजयंत के नाम पर एक वेब साइट बनाई है www.captainvijyantthapar.com इस साइट पर मुझे हर रोज दस-बारह मेल मिल जाते हैं। पिछले दस सालों में मेरे पास देश विदेश से लोगों की हजारों चिट्ठियां आई हैं। एक मेल में पाकिस्तानी सेना के एक कैप्टन ने लिखा है - 'आपका देश सौभाग्यशाली है जहां विजयंत जैसा सिपाही पैदा हुआ।' ऐसे हजारों भावुक उद्गार हैं, जिन्हें मैंने सहेज कर रखा हुआ है। जब विजयंत शहीद हुआ तो उसकी अंतिम यात्रा में डेढ़ लाख से ज्यादा लोग शरीक हुए थे। मैंने शव यात्रा में एक लंगड़े को कई किलोमीटर तक साथ भागते देखा। एक आदमी धूल को बैठाने के लिए चल रही पानी गाड़ी के हॉज का मुंह पकड़े चलता रहा। मैंने एक भिखारी को अपनी सारी कमाई विजयंत के पार्थिव शरीर पर चढ़ाते देखा। मैं हर साल उस जगह जाता हूं जहां मेरा बेटा शहीद हुआ था। उस दुर्गम पहाड़ी पर मैंने एक छोटा-सा मंदिर स्थापित किया है।
कारगिल के शहीदों को देश की श्रद्धाजंलि

कारगिल दिवसः उनका जज्बा, हमारी जिंदगी। दैनिक भास्कर
शहीदों को भी अब लोकदेवताओं की तरह पूजा जाने लगा है। अब तक तो शेखावाटी में लोकदेवताओं को ही पूजा जाता था लेकिन कारगिल के बाद शहीदों की मूर्तियां भी लगने लगी। गांवों, सड़क मार्गो, पार्को, स्कूलों के नाम शहीदों के नाम पर रखे जाने लगे। प्रमुख स्थलों पर लगी शहीदों की ये प्रतिमाएं हमें उनकी शहादत की याद तो दिलाती ही हैं साथ ही आज की पीढ़ी को देशभक्ति का संदेश भी देती हैं। लेकिन अब धीरे-धीरे इन शहीदों को लोक देवताओं का दर्जा भी दिया जाने लगा है। विभिन्न धार्मिक व पारिवारिक कार्यक्रमों में भी शहीदों को प्रमुखता से पूजा जाने लगा है। शादी से पहले शहीदों से आशीर्वाद लिया जाता है तो शादी के बाद गठजोड़े की जात भी लगाई जाने लगी है। शहीदों की पुण्यतिथि पर धार्मिक कार्यक्रम भी होते हैं।
मां के आंसुओं में झलका बेटे की शहादत का गर्व। दैनिक भास्कर
‘मुझे अपने बेटे की शहादत पर गर्व है। भारतीय सेना में मेरे बेटे की तरह और भी कई वीर जवान हैं, जो हमारे देश को हमेशा महफूज रखेंगे।’ यह उस मां की अश्रुपूरित श्रद्धांजलि है, जिसका लाड़ला महज २४ साल की उम्र में कारगिल की जंग में शहीद हो गया था। इन शब्दों को कहते समय शहीद कैप्टन मनोज पांडे की मां मोहिनी की आंखों में बहती आंसुओं की धार में भी बेटे की शहादत का गर्व साफ झलक रहा था। भारतीय सेना ने परमवीर चक्र प्राप्त कैप्टन मनोज पांडे की स्मृति में विजय गैलरी बनाई है। मोहिनी पांडे ने शनिवार को इसका उद्घाटन किया। उनके साथ मनोज के भाई मनमोहन भी थे। यहां स्थित विजय स्तंभ के पास बनी इस गैलरी में भारतीय सेना द्वारा कारगिल में इस्तेमाल किए गए हथियारों को प्रदर्शित किया गया है। पाकिस्तान के पूर्व राष्ट्रपति जन. परवेज मुशर्रफ के ताजा बयान की चर्चा करते हुए जनरल मलिक ने कहा, ‘वे हमेशा झूठ बोलते हैं। कभी कहते हैं कि कारगिल की जंग में आतंकियों का हाथ था तो कभी वे इसमें पाकिस्तानी सेना का हाथ बताते हैं।’ उन्होंने चेतावनी दी कि पाकिस्तान में फिर कोई दूसरा मुशर्रफ बन सकता है। ऐसे में देश को हमेशा तैयार रहना चाहिए। जनरल मलिक के साथ उनकी पत्नी और सेना, वायुसेना के कई अधिकारी व जवान मौजूद थे। वायुसेना ने इस मौके पर ‘सफेद सागर’ इलाके में अधिकारियों की शहादत को याद किया।
Emotional meeting for families of Kargil martyrs
In the war, 610 officers and men, including five Air Force personnel and two civilians, laid down their lives. The war, fought on what is often termed as one of the highest battlefields in the world, brought the people together as never before and the nation emerged stronger. Air Vice Marshal J Chauhan recalled the role of the Air Force, saying there was a requirement of carrying out a reconnaisance of the hostile locations in close conjuction with the army so that brave soldiers could go and occupy them. Recalling that the terrain was tough and the heights of the targets were so high that they had to operate from 30,000 feet, Chauhan said no Air Force in the world has done this. He said they had to work on the ways and means of how to achieve those impossible targets as they were not allowed to cross the LoC and carrying out attacks was really difficult.
Kargil, in hindsight. By Shishir Gupta, Indian Express
A decade later, today, we celebrate Kargil Diwas as we remember the 527 Indian armed forces personnel who lost their lives and another 1,363 who were wounded in the 45-day conflict. Just like 26/11, the Kargil intrusion was an audacious attack by Pakistani irregulars backed by powerful elements within the Army and the ISI headquarters at Rawalpindi. And just like Mumbai, the Kargil war was marked by brave troopers, poor operational leaders and vacillating political leadership. Yet the patriotic hysteria that swept the country after seeing body bags of the Indian brave ensured that all that was unpalatable was swept under the carpet. On the day when the bravehearts are remembered, one should also give a sobering thought to the lessons learned and subsequently unlearned from Kargil.

The Indian armed forces and the intelligence agencies still hold divergent view on the so-called intelligence failure at Kargil. The then army chief General Ved Prakash Malik has gone on record saying that there was no prior intelligence on the Kargil intrusions. This has been countered by Ajit Doval, then the Intelligence Bureau’s Kashmir pointsman, who is on record saying that the Pakistani build-up across the Line of Control was brought to the notice of even the Prime Minister’s office. However, a diary maintained by 12 Northern Light Infantry Captain Hussain Ahmad, resident of Panj Pir village in Swabi district in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province, reveals that Pakistan Army crossed the LoC on February 9, 11 days before then Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee crossed Wagah border on the bus to Lahore. The diary was recovered by the Indian Army from Mushkoh Valley during Op Vijay.

The irony is, as Ahmad records it, that on the day Vajpayee shook hands with then Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, a Pakistani Mi-17 helicopter crossed the LoC for the first time and dropped supplies to intruders in Mushkoh.

The fact is that the commander, deputy commander and battalion commanders of 121 Independent Brigade, responsible from Mushkoh to Batalik, did find footprints in the snow during aerial reconnaissance in March 1999 but they were dismissed as animal footprints. It was left to a platoon of 3 Punjab to detect black pathan suit wearing Pakistani intruders in Banju area of Yaldor sector on May 3. In the next three days, it was clear that no less than 3,000-4,000 intruders, backed by Pakistani artillery, were sitting on the glaciated features of the over 120 km broad front and some seven kilometers inside the Indian territory.

On May 11, India declared Operation Vijay to vacate the intrusion and the rest is history.

After the K. Subrahmanyam Committee report pointed to lacunae in the Indian intelligence mechanism, the Empowered Group of Ministers recommended sweeping changes. The key changes were the setting up of the multi-agency centre (MAC) and joint task force on intelligence (JTFI) in order to collect and disseminate actionable intelligence. A tri-service defence intelligence agency (DIA) was set up in a bid to synergise the intelligence sharing. Yet, nine years later, this mechanism was found wanting as the post-Kargil institutions were created but neither built or empowered. Suffice to say that the intelligence about an infiltrating Lashkar ship was not shared with Maharashtra by the JTFI or with the Western Naval Command by MAC or with the DIA by Naval Intelligence.

Kargil no doubt was a military success but it also highlighted the lacunae in India’s military preparedness, some of which are still to be completely addressed. First and the foremost is defence procurement, which is still mired in corruption, middle-men and political interference. Even today, the Defence Ministry does not have the capacity to utilise its defence modernisation budget and Rs 7,007 crore was surrendered in the previous fiscal. Secondly, post Kargil, the GoM recommended the creation of the post of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), a single point military advisor to the government, particularly after the Army and the Air Force missed the finer points of jointmanship during the war, with an integrated staff headquarters under the four star officer. To date, the Integrated Staff headquarters is an orphan with political leadership not comfortable with an all powerful CDS and the three service chiefs do their own thing.

Thirdly, the higher defence management task group had recommended that merit, and not seniority, is the criterion for selection for top military commanders so that only the best make it to the top. Nothing like this has happened. Fourthly, there are hardly any structured decision making processes within the government when it comes to dealing with emergency situations like Kargil or 26/11. Finally, a number of other intelligence tools were created post Kargil (with the present National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan as member of the group), including the apex intelligence coordination group, but to date, intelligence czars like to play their cards close to their chests. This was evident during 26/11 too.

On July 19, 1999, Army Chief Malik presented “bravest of the brave” watches to deserving commanding officers at Gansok in Ladakh, with champagne flowing freely, as the last Pakistani intruders returned home. The intrusion was officially vacated on July 26, 1999. But Kargil was at best a pyrrhic victory achieved at the loss of some of the bravest officers and men who fought at the roof of the world.
Family of Kargil martyrs salute spirit of sacrifice. By PTI
Ten years after Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguriise sacrificed his life when he led a platoon to re-capture Tololing from Pakistani troops during the Kargil war, his family has come all the way from Nagaland to salute the place of their son's martyrdom.

"We have to come to see and salute the place of the martyrdom of our son. It was a dream for us to visit the holy place and pray for our son", the late captain's father Neiselie Kenguriise told. As they took a glimpse of Tololing ridgeline captured by their son and his platoon, tears welled in the eyes of Neiselie, his wife Dinuo and daughter.
शहीद के परिवार से किया वादा पूरा नहीं। नवभारत टाइम्स
करगिल युद्ध में शहीद हुए सिपाही बलजीत सिंह के परिवार वालों का आरोप है कि केंद्र और राज्य सरकार ने अपने कोई वादे पूरे नहीं किए। शहीद बलजीत के भाई रंजीत सिंह ने कहा कि सरकार ने वादा किया था कि परिवार के एक सदस्य को पेट्रॉल पंप अलॉट होगा। शहीद बलजीत के नाम पर एक पार्क बनेगा और एक रोड और स्कूल का नाम उनके नाम पर रखा जाएगा। लेकिन अभी तक कुछ भी नहीं किया गया है। बलजीत सिंह सिख रेजिमंट के आर्टिलरी डिविजन में थे और ९ जुलाई १९९९ को पाकिस्तानी घुसपैठियों से जंग में शहीद हुए थे। सरकार ने उनके परिवार से कहा था कि वह अपने खर्चे पर शहीद स्मारक बना लें जिसका खर्च उन्हें बाद में दे दिया जाएगा। रंजीत ने बताया कि हमने स्मारक में करीब दो लाख रुपये खर्च किए लेकिन सरकार ने अब तक एक भी रुपया नहीं दिया।

Ex-Servicemen publicly ask Army to choose BJP

Spread The Word











It's sick to see that communal divisive Congress has money and heart to pay pension to the terrorists but none for the Army.

Watch the Congress Home Minister for State Prakash Jaiswal confirming pension for terrorists on record to news channels:


So tired of the negligence and prejudice by Congress of the Bharatiya (misnomer: Indian) Armed Forces, Veterans and Ex-Servicemen which is one major point on the list of Congress led UPA's Failures & Betrayals of Aam Aadmi, the Army and Ex-Servicemen have made their choice public. They have chosen the Nationalist Strong BJP over Communal Divisive Submissive Congress.

Caution: Following video contains news report from a known Anti-Hindu biased news channel, viewer discretion is advised.



Bharat's (misnomer: India) next prospective Prime Minister Mr. Lal Krishna Advani has shown his concern and dismay about the step-motherly attitude of present foreigner Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi led Congress Government towards the Crown Jewel of Bharat, it's Security Forces. He has talked about supporting Bharatiya Armed Forces and their invaluable selfless contribution to Bharat (misnomer: India). He assured the retired soldiers that he will fulfill their 'one rank one pension' demand.

Please watch his views on the issue during his meeting with the Ex-Servicemen here, "LK Advani supports Pension to Army Veterans".

Since, it is the first time that the Armed forces can vote, Ex-Servicemen and Veterans have publicly advised the Army and their families to vote for BJP.

Ex-servicemen group publicly tells Army to choose BJP
BJP is gaining popularity with Army men. This has become obvious after an influential ex-servicemen's group has now publicly advised the military community to vote for the party.

Former deputy chief of the Army, Lt General Raj Kadyan says, "It is in our interest that we should vote for the BJP."

I am looking for the benefit of my community, my 24 lakh ex-servicemen. And their benefits, as the developments are today, lie with the BJP. They are better than the others," Lt General Kadyan states.

"We have realised that unless we have a political voice, the Government will not understand the value of our vote. The Government must realise that we have a vote too," says Major General (retd) AJB Jaini.

LK Advani supports Pension to Army Veterans

Spread The Word











In this video, Bharat's (misnomer: India) next prospective Prime Minister Mr. Lal Krishna Advani talks about supporting Bharatiya (misnomer: Indian) Armed Forces and their invaluable selfless contribution to Bharat (misnomer: India). He assured retired soldiers that he will fulfill their 'one rank one pension' demand. Advani addressed the retired veterans, who have been protesting in New Delhi for the last 3 months. In pursuit of their demand for one rank one pension, the retired soldiers of varying ranks have returned more than 10,000 medals to the president.

Lt. Gen. N S Malik, convener of the Defense Cell of the BJP and Shri Rajiv Chandrashekhar, Member of Parliament were also present at the protest. Especially when the Congress led UPA govt. has done so much injustice to the Indian Armed Forces. They have humiliated and demoralized the army. Please also read "Armed forces can vote for first time".

Congress led UPA has no money to pay pension to honorable Bharatiya Army but can shamelessly bring a law to force Indian Tax Payers to pay pension to terrorists and their family. Please watch the video "Indians will now pay pension to terrorist families" in which Congress's Minister Prakash Jaiswal defends this divisive, communal, nonsecular, unethical and immoral misuse of tax payers money and dereliction to 'Aam Aadmi' security.

Corrupt RAW agent wanted no raw deal

Spread The Word











I was watching this new show called Homeland Security USA with a great awe and reverence as to how diligently American government and agencies are working day and night to protect its customs and borders. It is so heartening to see that every official that they show from a CBP officer to a TSA agent to a Coast Guard et al thinks that what he/she does, it matters. Whatever he/she contributes protects America. Its exactly what Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi talked about in his rebuttal to corrupt Congress's Rajiv Shukla's biased question at HT Summit in 2007. He said that the only way a nation can succeed is when every person believes in the nation and whatever he/she does from sweeping the roads to protecting borders, from customs to income tax enforcement, from selling security camera to IDing those who buy SIM cards, or whatever they do, they understand that it contributes towards building the nation and keeping it safe.

But then we have one, Dr. A S Narayan Rao. A senior officer working as a scientist in the technical division of RAW who was arrested by CBI for taking bribe. With 41 terrorist attacks in just four and a half years and such corrupt officials appointed to serve and protect national security, this slothful government can create as many National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Unique Identity Authority (UIA) as it wants. They are nothing but an eyewash till the time such corrupt and treacherous officials are deputed to protect the Matrbhoomi.

  2. Dr A S Narayan Rao, working as a scientist in the technical division of RAW, was arrested by CBI from a hotel in Karol Bagh last night when he was allegedly taking the amount from the manufacturer, CBI sources said.

    Rao had allegedly demanded Rs eight lakh as a bribe for clearing the export licence of the Chennai-based firm. Rs one lakh was the first installment of the bribe amount.

Some of the politicians are no less a disgrace either. Some of them like Chander Mohan, the 43-year-old son of former Haryana chief minister Bhajan Lal, are more busy humping in the sack than worrying about national security. He converted to Islam so that he could have more than one wife and changed his name to Chand Mohammad. He then married former Additional Advocate General Anuradha Bali alias Fiza, another convert, and proclaimed his "undying" love for her in public.

Armed forces can vote for first time

Spread The Word











Armed forces ask their personnel to exercise the right to vote
For the first time, the armed forces have asked their personnel to exercise their fundamental right to vote in the areas of their posting during the general elections slated for March-April.

In an unprecedented move all the personnel of the army, the navy and the air force have been asked to get themselves registered with the Election Commission office in their area of posting and exercise their right to vote.

"All of us have been asked to get ourselves registered wherever we are posted and exercise our franchise. Voter registration forms and other certificates required are being circulated among all units and departments," a senior naval official told IANS requesting anonymity.

A majority of Indian defence personnel have never voted during their service tenure for want of an effective mechanism. However, there is a provision for the armed forces personnel to vote in their areas of posting only during the general elections, provided they are registered with the Election Commission.

India's armed forces comprise a 1.1-million strong army, around 140,000-strong air force and nearly 60,000-strong navy and they can be a sizeable vote bank especially in cantonment areas.

"The main reason behind this proactive participation of the armed forces in the electoral process seems to be the armed forces being shortchanged in the Pay Commission and their lack of a say in the decision making process," said a high-ranking army official, wishing not to be identified.

Though there is a postal ballot and proxy voting system, most personnel are not aware of it.


Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Fali H. Major confessed to IANS in a candid interview: "Though there is the proxy voting system and the postal ballot system, things have not materialised as desired."

The IAF chief has himself not been able to vote for the last 10 years because, like most people in the armed forces, he has not been home during election time. "The last I voted was 10 years ago when I was home on vacation. I have voted only four times (in his 41 years of service)," Major told IANS.

kkkangress success story: once-proud army almost wiped out by Nizal Yoddha

Finally it looks like that the Bharatiya Armed Forces will be able vote in up coming General Elections. Bad news for the Congress led UPA Government which short changed the most revered body of Bharat's democracy by giving it peanuts through its biased pay commission, demoralizing it by falsely accusing its high rankers like Colonel Purohit with mythical terror charges, dividing the most secular branch of Bharat with communal Muslim only head count, with all time low recruitment in 5 years, with all time high attrition rate, with dismal pay packages, etc. etc.

Its time for 1.1-million strong army, around 140,000-strong air force and nearly 60,000-strong navy to take some revenge from these callous politicians by exercising their franchise to vote. And I so hope they do. Jai Hind!

China's growing Military presence and Border Infrastructure

Spread The Word











While the Congress led UPA is sleeping after partying hard even after 40 major terrorist attacks under it and its allegedly 3 times college dropout heir apparent is busy giving personal tours of Bharat's poverty to his firangi friends, China has build up mass military presence and border infrastructure in Chinese Occupied Kashmir (CoK) or known as Line of Actual Control (LAK). China has made a whopping 40000 km road network and we are struggling to get clearance from Government to make mere 608 km stretch of road.

China way ahead on border infrastructure
First, India woke up to China's massive buildup of military infrastructure all along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) rather late in the day. And now, it's floundering to execute its own relatively modest plans to strategically counter the Chinese moves.

It was in early-2006 that the UPA government was jolted out of its slumber to give the go-ahead for the creation of infrastructure in all the three sectors — western (Ladakh), middle (Uttarakhand, Himachal) and eastern (Sikkim, Arunachal) — along the unresolved 4,056-km LAC with China.

But progress of the road construction and telecommunication links has been tardy, to say the least, since then. Only nine of the 73 roads earmarked for construction along the Sino-Indian border have been built till now, top-level sources said.

Of the 73 all-weather roads, 27 fall in Arunachal Pradesh, 19 in Uttarakhand, 14 in Jammu & Kashmir, seven in Himachal Pradesh and six in Sikkim. While 27 of these roads are being constructed under the aegis of the home ministry, 15 are with Border Roads Organisation (BRO). The remaining 12 are to be constructed by CPWD or state PWDs.

"The plan is to construct the 73 roads in a time-bound manner by 2012 to counter the rapid pace of military development in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). But there are huge delays due to pending mandatory clearances from the ministry of environment and forests as well as inadequate funding," said a source. While acknowledging environmental and geological concerns are important, the defence establishment holds national security concerns are equally, if not more, critical. "Suitable interventions and faster decision-making is required," added the source.

BRO, in particular, has been directed to complete construction of the roads stretching from Ladakh to Diphu La in Arunachal, amounting to 608-km at a cost of Rs 992 crore, by 2010 or so.

The infrastructure development is important to bolster India's troop mobility and logistics supply in the forward areas, especially since some existing roads simply stop dead 60 to 80 km from LAC.

"While Chinese soldiers can drive right till the border in their vehicles due to their superb roads, our soldiers have to sometimes trek 10-15 km to reach their border posts," said a senior official.

China, on its part, has built so many air, road and rail links along the LAC, especially in TAR, that it can amass a huge number of troops on the border for offensive operations in double-quick time compared to what was possible less than a decade ago.

China now has a 40,000-km road network in Tibet, apart from rail links like the 1,118-km one from Lhasa to Gormo in Qinghai province of mainland China.

India's forgotten heroes

Spread The Word











--------------------Forwarded Message------------------
From: ABC

its overwhelming..
our guys fight without fancy weapons and any political back up in an unforgiving weather...its just a brave heart what they carry..
such stories make me proud but more sad really

India may have lost the 1962 war with China, but it was not completely a saga of defeat. Hamstrung by an indecisive leadership and poor military equipment, the Indian army put up a valiant resistance along the McMahon Line. It is another matter the political leadership of the day did not back them.
One such spot where our soldiers fought back, and repelled, the Chinese incursions was at Razang La near Chushul, in the Himalayan heights. On November 18, 1962, 114 soldiers of the 13th Kumaon fought till the last man, and last bullet, in sub-zero temperatures, to beat back the huge Chinese army. A grateful nation acknowledged their valour by posthumously conferring the Param Vir Chakra on Major Shaitan Singh.
They fought till the last man, last bullet
They were ill-equipped, ill-prepared and heavily outnumbered by the Chinese. All the 114 jawans died in action, not a single soul retreated and neither did they let the Chinese intrude. For three months the government didn't know about them, about their extraordinary sacrifice, till in January-end in 1963, shepherds from Chushul found bodies of jawans scattered on the Rezang La, after the snow had melted. The dead bodies of the Chinese were far more in number, about eight hundred on our side, and it was estimated that more than a thousand might have fallen to the bullets of Indian soldiers. It was an unbelievable feat and the government decorated Major Shaitan Singh with a Param Vir Chakra, posthumously.
The PVC citation awarded to him reads: 'Major Shaitan Singh was commanding a company of an infantry battalion deployed at Rezang La in the Chushul sector at a height of about 17,000 feet. The locality was isolated from the main defended sector and consisted of five platoon-defended position. On 18 November 1962, the Chinese forces subjected the company position to heavy artillery, mortar and small arms fire and attacked it in overwhelming strength in several successive waves. Against heavy odds, our troops beat back successive waves of 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 to us, the enemy lost four or five. When Major Shaitan Singh fell disabled by wounds in his arms and abdomen, his men tried to evacuate him but they came under heavy machine-gun fire. Major Shaitan Singh then ordered his men to leave him to his fate in order to save their lives. Major Shaitan Singh's supreme courage, leadership and exemplary devotion to duty inspired his company to fight almost to the last man.'
The Rezang La memorial is a simple marble pillar with names of all the 114 martyrs etched on two sides, in Hindi and in English. The third side has these inspiring words:
How can a Man die better than facing Fearful Odds,
For the Ashes of His Fathers and the Temples of His Gods,
To the sacred memory of the Heroes of Rezang La,
114 Martyrs of 13 Kumaon who fought to the Last Man,
Last Round, Against Hordes of Chinese on 18 November 1962.
Built by All Ranks 13th Battalion, The Kumaon Regiment.
Please spread this email- let other Indians also know of the extraordinary sacrifice and valour of our troops. Men who left behind the comfort our their homes and left behind widows and fatherless children just so our Motherland was safe from Chinese invasion.

Chandrayaan reaches Moon and drops the Indian flag

As a result of Bharat's best Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee's esteem vision which is now a reality and hard work of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) under the leadership of Shri Madhavan Nair, चंद्रयान १ (Chandrayaan 1) has reached the Moon successfully. It dropped on the moon a probe with Bharatiya flag on it as shown below:

Source: Indian Tricolor on the Moon!

The mission also had a picture perfect launch. You can watch Chandrayaan's launch video here.

It is amazing to note that foreigners are pronouncing Chandrayaan correctly rather than the phony Indian media. Good to know. Here is CNN on the Hindu Moon mission.
