Personally I find the more interesting part about the fatuous comment is the lack of knowledge. The lone BJP MP from TN happens to represent Kanyakumari.

Exactly. It makes no sense to buy the Apache. Cancel this deal. We have great rotorcraft capability, and an expensive Apache simply makes no sense. The PA tanks, like the Al-Khalid, are simply no threat with our current inventory. It's not as if the PA is a monstrous army that requires billion doll...

Is it Worth Discussing Military Intellectualism ? DefStrat - Lt Gen(Retd) Syed Ata Hasnain, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, SM, VSM* The scenario in India is best reflected by a couple of examples taken from both sides of the fence. I am impressed by the passion of the Army officer cadre’s new generation, its pa...

And mind you, Staff College has become a holy grail now - would not have been in times of VKS and Suhag. BTW, let me give you an interesting anecdote - a course mate of VKS was amongst the topper of Staff Course entrance examination which they both attempted. And the said officer was chosen to atte...

Our Indian capacity for self delusion and oblivious grandeur is what makes us so special. Stuff of many NYT articles yet unwritten. I can almost see them now. They'll probably get posted on here by Indians in the US. You know, to look and learn from our betters.. whatever. Oh, the layers of irony; ...

SC allows TN to increase Mullaperiyar water level In a major victory for Tamil Nadu, the Supreme Court on Wednesday declared as unconstitutional the law passed by Kerala in 2006, constituting the Dam Safety Authority to prevent the State from raising the water level in the Mullaperiyar dam from 136...

Right now, the IAF is short of aircraft and needs operational squadrons asap. So should Trisonics have been numberplated and another squadron name dusted off and used? I suspect Trisonics folks would be happy to be flying Su-30s rather than be numberplated and wait for the next magic Trisonic bird,...

So the Christianization of BJP is going on in full swing, there is only one party in NDA that has the guts to ask BJP openly about this covert agenda and that is Shiv Sena. I hope they ask all these smart .... in bjp publicly "if white means peace, what does saffron mean??" Oh hey look. h...

See how many IM are getting arrested in TN now? How come they are there till now? That's a logical incongruity. You'd like people to be arrested but when they're arrested you wonder how they came to be there. There is absolutely no winning with that logic. Now, were the administration to refuse to ...

For someone whose family has served across the 3 services for 3 generations I think I have seen things closely enough to make that observation.

So JJ was fostering a nest of Paki snakes in her state. Eh? The state police Q branch surveils and captures the guy and you're accusing the Chief Minister of fostering them. What's the connection? The state police is more or less an instrument of the government. You'd think if she was involved no o...

As a matter of fact what SRoy says is true to a large extent ; . Clearly you've never chanced upon one of those NDA Xth course mailing lists. Most people on BR are PSecs by that measure. Here's the thing though. All it indicates is the opinion of vocal people on that list. Same as your or SRoys opi...

RSS-apex and VHP-apex could not stop BJP-apex from removing Hindu orange and putting Missionary white color in the lotus. So IMO RSS-workers and VHP-workers should realize that RSS-apex and VHP-apex is now defeated and tamed. It is time activists move to something else? Regardless of the merits of ...

@viv: Forces are not a homogenous entity. The officer corp has undergone a tremendous change in class composition in last 2 decades. So, our experiences will vary depending on our points of references. What we need to appreciate is that in addition to the change in composition, the forces are also ...

I have never seen a retired officer living in a small flat or house. They always seem to build grand houses which does not correlate to their salary. I also know a number of ex-officers who come to work for industry greeds for money rather than sewa! Quite an allegation there friend. Care to back i...

5. Flight 370 pilot stayed in close formation with that aircraft in the dead of night. So soooo close that it looked like one radar blip. And no one noticed.

Having said that, I disagree with Lt. Gen Katoch that Paratroopers is similar to regular infantry. Paratroopers are trained to operate behind enemy lines, though in large numbers, in an increasingly contended and denied enemy airspace.

And most importantly a large army means you need a big support set up.

There are US Marine Corps personnel stationed at the missions of the US (are they in Delhi alone, or also in the Consulates?). I am sure they carry weapons and that these are not licensed by the Indian authorities. Can't we arrest them under the Arms Act? Within the diplomatic buildings they're on ...

The Nigerians and others who are there illegally should be removed if they have no vailid documents. No one is disputing that.
