Bharat Rakshak

This discussion reminds me of a quote read many years ago:

"With the progress of science we do not become more certain, but we become certain of more."

New tech can sense gravity before calamity Deccan Chronicle Hyderabad, Oct. 24: The Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Agency has built a laser-based system that can predict the gravity of floods and sea surges about six hours before they occur anywhere in the country. This technology could gr...

Great build up Shankar, but unsatisfying resolution Some nitpicks: Pak prez becoming the spokesperson of the terrorists is far fetched. I'd expect the demands coming from a jehadi website or a local newspaper in PoK, and Pak Govt as usual denying any involvement in the matter and promising "ful...

Question : How can such airspace violations go unriposted ?

Good step ahead. Good to know that the command and control structure is falling into place and necessary steps are being taked with the utmost seriousness at the highest levels. I love the govt. learning to become ambiguous and not telling all to the world. They're reading BRF? Lets speculate to our...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BR ! A big thanks to the admins and all posters. YOU are what makes BRF such a fantastic community. 1) What is it about Bharat Rakshak (and the forum) that makes you want to keep coming back every day (or in may case, every few minutes when I hit the F5 button)? Bonus points (with pos...

Other stuff: There were flying displays and lot of muscle flexing by the 3 new generation European fighters.

One of the things that occured to me while returning home that evening was that it would have been great of the Dhruv team passed out handouts about Dhruv & HAL to the general public visiting the expo. It should not cost a lot to print a few thousand 3 to 5 page brochures and distribute them. Th...

A real bummer that my trusted camera ran out of batteries before taking any Dhruv pictures :( :( , and I had no time to run around and buy more. CR123s have a reputation to die without warning :mad: . I had a couple of friends snap pictures, and so I'll post the scans when I get the copies. Amarko.

I created a login bharat123 pswd bharat123 on janes for those who want to see the pix without bothering to register again

An all, a proud moment for HAL engineers, India and Indians! It was a great moment meeting one of Dhruv’s creators.

For all those who want to read a fascinating and deeply moving account of the militancy and separatist movent in Punjab and how it has influenced the Sikh religion, I highly recommend the book Knights of Falsehood by KPS Gill. The book is available online at: E Book: Knights of Falsehood Amarko.

Great pictures from Sanjay Simha! Thank you sir! Some observations: KH2003 has the same paint scheme as KH2002, the only way to tell them apart would be a close look at the vertical tail plane. PV1 also seems to have a rectangular inlet just after the air intakes, any ideas what it is? See Tejas01.j...

Lets summarize the Fors and Againsts so far: Against: 1. We have a policy against foreign troops on our soil. (Can some one explain what exactly this policy is and what its covenants are?) 2. Letting US into J&K is internationalizing the Kashmiri dispute which should only be resolved bilaterally...

Sridhar, Just after Sep11 attacks, India has volunteered the use of our air bases to the US. And there was no opposition to this proposal within India. Joint excercises have been conducted at Agra, and so US soilders have been already allowed on our soil (not in a combat role of course) So, the idea...

The significance of this announcement is nothing short of a windfall in the geopolitical equations of the Indian Subcontinent. Not because we may say yes, but because the USofA is finally showing signs of waking up and opening its eyes. Rumsfeld has special forces offer for India What are the implic...

It is the real practice of many people which has given these symbols their substance. I do not see how you can disrespect these symbols and yet claim to respect what lies behind these symbols. As a matter of fact, those who go to fight and possibly die in defence of India have no disrespect for the...

shiv, Your assumption seems to be that for someone born in this country, the geographic area of birth/location; religion, caste, social background have some effect in his/her Indianness. Why stop there? Go deeper into state/city/colony/street or caste/subcaste/sect/subsect/... and then every possibl...
