^In that case I agree to the punishments meted out to the sahayak and the soldiers, but what about the punishment given to the officers? Do you agree with the punishment? Should it have been more harsh?

member_22539

At this point I am not even disputing the punishments given to the soldiers for mutiny, frankly I think they are fair, except in the case of the sahayak. He is also charged with mutiny. How does a guy who is beaten up so bad that he is bedridden, take part in a mutiny? Also, somebody said that it wa...

^How serious was the injuries of the sahayak? The injuries were certainly serious enough that the officers themselves knew that he needed to be take to the hospital? On top of that he was stripped and exposed to the cold, probably suffering from hypothermia. How is this not life-threatening? If the ...

Because the contract says that we must buy from them, even some of the raw materials.

Let the ADA/HAL first build at least 100+ for the IAF,just as Dhruv's have been built for the services,proven themselves in the air and then automatically the enquiries will come![/b] Let Russia induct 100 odd Pak-Fa before trying to sell it to anyone ;) Ohh, you hit him where it hurt. You do know ...

^Thats what I thought as well, a little bit of hand holding here and there (stuff that would have saved us many years), but on the whole they wouldn't have helped if they thought we couldn't do without them.

Forget the heavy punishments the jawans (and junior officers mind you) got, why aren't the officers punished properly when in every explanation the brutal assault of the sahayak and their refusal to send him to hospital is acknowledged. What if that man had died? Is it difficult to imagine that man ...

member_22539

You are telling me these 160 soldiers didn't bother to ask why he was thrashed? That they did all this without hearing the allegation against the sahayak? Don't you find it strange that in these 160 soldiers (including junior officers) had so little trust in their commanders. Isn't it true that the ...

member_22539

^It is not even that, it is 160 soldiers vs 1 woman, supported by some officers. I do not think any group of 160 men are going to leap to the defense of a molester, much less 160 soldiers, that too at the risk of their careers. Its not like they don't know the penalty for such disobedience (which I ...

^^ Seems to be unusually one sided and liberally slanders the lady without even a "alleged". Guess thats how DDM works. Wonder what the truth is. Somewhere in between? Sad that 170 jawans are undergoing punishment for this I wouldn't fly to the defense of the lady if more than a 160 men f...

Xinhua the Chinese propaganda machine does something bizzare...releases english psychedelic musical video "shishanwu" that explains upcoming Chinese 13th 5-year plan, which goes viral. Bizarre, campy song explains China's 13th 5-year plan Besides foreigners, the intended audience for this...

What are the prospects for the future?

^^^ AM, please move on. You are going on a circular argument that you have already stated quite a few times. If you choose to believe what you believe then that is for you and others on the forum can make their own judgements. No need to keep repeating the same thing. I know I am going circular, bu...

Problem with taking pills to forestall periods is that one may not be able to get it back when needed. I am not suggesting that the pills themselves may cause this effect, though I have heard horrors stories of how sports women suffer from such sad side effects due to their pill use. It may just be ...

^Come on, are you actually comparing the groping and pinching in buses to the kind of stuff that happened in the Delhi rape case? Because that and worse than that is what the pakis are capable off. Many people feel the need to force "equality" for the sake of it, but I am not one of them. ...

given the extreme shortage of pilots in IAF ..why is it not worth it? There always more considerations than supply and demand when it comes to women on the battlefield. as long as standards are not diluted. Are you sure about that? At first they are allowed to come in, then few of them show up, few...

^Well I have received no answers to the questions I have raised, from you. A human being is not just a sum total of his positive attributes or strengths. There are negative factors and weakness in us as well. Nature and our society have a role in deciding both all of these. In the end, I don't care ...

All through our history , women have fought wars side by side , wielding weapons against enemies. Even all our Devis ( even though some mods may be averse to hoary quotations) have fought against demons, no holds barred. In fact when Devas were unable to hold off Arusars , they prayed to Devi to ki...

That is a male centric view. Another instance of name calling. Asking questions about women is not male centric, sexist, misogynistic, etc. They are just questions and you can shut up the person asking them by giving appropriately satisfying answers. Worst crimes have happened to women in this coun...

- Society at large has incurred extra expenditure for their reproductive activities :-? (or whatever) when they are doctors, policewomen, bureaucrats, administrators, helicopter pilots, scientists, etc. Why cannot this society do it if they are fighter pilots? Frankly, I agree with you and it is un...

Well said deejayji! If someone is qualified (through IAF's standardized battery of tests), then it doesn't matter what sex that candidate is. They can do the job. Sadly, It is not just up to the individual (frankly I am quite sure that there are women who can qualify as fighter pilots) or just up t...

I have to state again that I have nothing against women serving as fighter pilots if they need no special privileges, reservations or dilution of standards. But, this name calling and shaming at the drop of a hat, whenever anything regarding women are discussed should stop. Such cheap tricks aimed a...

Discussions increasing turning sexist here. Is examining the consequences of employing a female for this purpose sexist? Are women in this post-feminist world placed on so high a pedestal that no questions should ever be asked with regard to them? Are they beyond the realm of physical limitations u...

^There is nothing more sickening than gender PC. I believe that if a person is qualified, the opportunity must be given, but no special privileges, reservations or dilution of standards for "equality." That said, a male pilot in paki hands is bad enough. I shudder to think of what can happ...

I will side with Austin on this. Actions speaks louder then words. The porkis thought the same back in 1965, after their adventures in Rann of Kutch went unanswered. India may appear soft, but it is only up to a point, when things change drastically (something that has slapped the porki face time a...

^Doesn't high-G flying exacerbate bleeding and such. How would such young women function in a fighter cockpit during periods? Isn't this one of the reasons why female combat pilots in the USAF is authorized for the A-10 while not for the other fighters? Frankly, I am ignorant in this regard. Really,...

The reason is quite obvious. The whole program is a mess, most so the new engines.

^In the end, if they use nukes, we will use ALL our nukes reserved for them. If we have to suffer more in the process than with a cowardly response, then so be it. But that will be the end of our porki problem. This is our fate and we should be resigned to it. There must be no second-guessing or hes...

DRDO kickastarted MCIWS into top gear when IA didn't want anything to do with them. But for how long? The MCIWS has impressed the paramilitary chaps and they are gunning to have it bought in bulk the moment it can be done. When this comes to pass, how long do you think the IA will be satisfied with...
