Bharat Rakshak

Last time when they went to italy, they put up a bail amount of 6 crores. I bet this time it would be Nil!

I hope I'm proved wrong!

Buddha didn't venture out to create a new religion per se. He came to learn in Bodh Gaya and became enlightened there. He preached in Pali which was the local language and thus threw open the doors to common man. This created a lot of friction with Brahmins who were having a monopoly of sorts. Moreo...

^^from the above article After all, confronting Pakistan directly could cost Western lives. Several European countries have significant populations of naturalized citizens of Pakistani origin. These Pakistani Europeans travel to Pakistan's tribal areas -- a primary hub for al Qaeda, the Taliban, and...

This is indeed a good effort by NDTV from the photography and camera technique angles. However, I have a major caveat about the language used by the presenters on the majority of Hindi TV channels. Why do these turkeys use a preponderant percentage of Urdu words in their vocabulary ? In most cases,...

Point is, a British guy can write a novel about Indian cities getting nuked and our defense minister at the time time praises the book as "highly plausible" despite its crappy nature while an Indian guy runs complex simulations to play out a fictional war and the publishers are running li...

Google dada sure has an answer for that!

There is nothing deeper and deeper! Its just your imagination. They hardly spent any time in helo after the crash landing. They took a snap decision and that's it! Read my first post! Then Sir that snap decision was not the right decision I am afraid. You have your opinion. But I differ and I think...

I was wondering if the IAF chopper (which was presumably being used for medevac) didn't have stretchers. Doesn't make sense to me. +1 abhik sarkar, I didn't even think about this aspect. This whole incident is getting deeper and deeper with speculations. Everything will get cleared once the CoI giv...

So they stayed there at the crash site and called the nearby CRPF team to secure the area and helo. Right?

Where did you get that idea from? They didn't go back after they reached the CRPF camp!!!

Apologies, if my account gave the "traditional map" impression. In this modern era, they had GPS! I don't think they went back, just called up nearby CRPF team to secure the area and helo. They did however visit the guy in hospital next day! Really? Have your highly reliable chaiwalla tol...

As per Vinod’s account, the IAF folks used traditional maps. Hence, they had to return with the CRPF team – one cannot tell someone to go to X location on a map. Only a person who has traversed the route will know the waypoints and approach. Apologies, if my account gave the "traditional map&q...

I will try and answer them... Questions I have: 1) Was the operator left inside the helo? Yes 2) If so, wouldnt that have been a danger, given fuel leakage and possibility of fire. Yes. He couldn't be moved. So what other option? 3) If he couldn't be moved at all, was he suitably immobilized and giv...

Many forget that Pilots main job is to fly aircrafts and not fight like an ordinary soldier. IAF pilots are trained to fly into combat zones. In this situation, they were doing a rescue job in a supposedly safe zone. After they were shot they did a very damn good job landing the helo in next few sec...
