Nice to see Smriti, Harshvardhan, suresh prabhu.... Get up and act with enthusiasm. Suresh felt so proud of the railways.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Well this is the first time i am watching such energized ministers giving standing ovations. They have my respect.

Easy there hammer. I didn't mean everything. Perhaps altering the ceremonial uniforms, march, etc.Mort Walker wrote:The whole military part of the Republic day parade is the legacy of the British army. Drop it and you might as well stop playing cricket and driving on the wrong side of the road!RoyG wrote:Overall, the event was well executed. We should drop the colonial elements though.

Well, I would do away with the red coats and some of the hats and come up with some thing more snazzy.RoyG wrote: Easy there hammer. I didn't mean everything. Perhaps altering the ceremonial uniforms, march, etc.

The message seems to have hit home.Cringeworthy tableaus as usual, except may be for the Make in India one.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Historical uniforms from pre Brit days would be good for some of the military units.

Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
I thought the floats were lot better than earlier, with low clearance. Ministers showing enthusiasm for their ministries were nice to watch

Given the penchant of their CM to praise Nizam and his glorious rule before being unfairly attacked by India, its surprising they even showcased that much native culture.rajsunder wrote:I hated the fact that in telengana tableau they had to sicularize by inserting nizam.SwamyG wrote:Totally kommunal song from AP

Mrs Obama loves the bike stunts.

130s are up.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
With someone like Modi in charge, one can be fairly confident this is the last time that incident will happen. He's very attuned to matters like this, and clearly provided a lot of instructions as to what the parade should display and how it should be conducted. He can't be expected to get every basic nicety figured out, but can only provide broad instructions. Someone's doing to get a very angry note demanding that the whole gallantry award step be conducted in a more dignified manner.Singha wrote:imo not only the president but all the other vvips next in line should stand as mark of respect, or if it cannot be done move the award to a separate ceremony on army day or in the rashtrapati bhavan or beating retreat.
it looked VERY UNSEEMLY today. Pranabda did what he could to salvage the ugly situation, its not his fault at all.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Lots of chemistry between O and NaMO ?
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
the russkie jets are dazzling above ombaba!
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
So there IS a flypast!!
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
At the end of the day its Modi the tiger and Obama the wolf. We'll never be friends. India isn't a white protestant nation.SwamyG wrote:Lots of chemistry between O and NaMO ?
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Lol at the overzealous muppet with his "We Love Obama" banner.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
But you also had the 130s, Globemaster and the Posiedon.SaiK wrote:the russkie jets are dazzling above ombaba!
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
The symbolism was quite telling. In these times, the US and Russian manufactured aircraft flying side-by-side under the same banner. Where else could we possibly see that?saip wrote:But you also had the 130s, Globemaster and the Posiedon.SaiK wrote:the russkie jets are dazzling above ombaba!
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
The flymast over grey skies were quite menacing!
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Yea probably first time in the world. US aircraft being escorted by Ruski jets!
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Mig-29 and US planes fly together in Luftwaffe AFAIK. The Migs came with E. Germany.

They didn't stay there for long. Sold to Poland for symbolic friendship price of 1$ (or 1 DM / Euro).Victor wrote:Mig-29 and US planes fly together in Luftwaffe AFAIK. The Migs came with E. Germany.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
DD coverage has improved quite a bit.

Have to highlight the above. Post PVNR, CONgI *is* Bakistan's B-Team.Raja Bose wrote: More and more I see small elegant touches of the Modi Effect. It is totally alarming to finally realize how compromised our country was under the Congress dynasty for the last 60 years.
Watched the entire parade., Make-In-India was the best float and the symbolism of P-18's and C-130J and the Hercules accompanied by Russian fighters cannot be missed by anybody.
I hope somebody explained to Obama that Brahmos is the only supersonic anti-Sh missile in service in the world. And Su-30 MKI is a frontline fighter, only upended by F-22.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
In the autumn of his life, lovely to see the old lion mms in the audience with a grin reflecting on a job well done in putting back the congis by 30 yrs and avenging his mentor and guru pvnr insulted even in death.
