INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
chacko, why be reactive and try to tailor our own forces to others' perception. if our genuine secularism didn't change perception, naming of a ship certainly won't. it is self-defeating to think that way.
a ship is named so that it inspires its crew, any other factor is secondary.
in any case, navy rarely names something after a person and for that rare event to happen the person has to be inspirational otherwise. IMO it should happen in its own course, no need to force the issue.
btw navy does have a base named after the 2nd kunjali marakkar, who was a muslim admiral. my post last page seems to have gone unnoticed.

Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
^^^ Your POV is right. However, what crossed my mind was INS Babur or Muslim "inspring name" (as you put it), nuclear submarine ptrolling Arabaian, Africa, Indian Ocean etc which constitutes the muslim neighbourhood sounds less threatening. Just think of it " INS "Muslim inspiring name" sunk PNS Mussharaff in Arabian Sea. Just that there are muslim inspiring names too.
Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
why should we try to make it less threatening ? we should make it as threatening as possible !!
Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
What's with all these pish posh sounding high falutin names being bandied about, eh! I propose we renamed the arihant class as faquer class and the boats be named paki faquer, chini faquer.... and so on. Just my 2C . Back to lurk mode

Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
See, the Navy is is about making a statement. Aircraft carriers, nuclear subs etc make statements. Another of the example is "Barack Obama" is a Muslim in the eyes of a large Muslim population.
US names like LoS Angeles, Califonia are not offensive names.

Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
and APJ was a muslim himself, not just a person with a muslim sounding name. even before that we have had more than one muslim prez. changed absolutely nothing about how the muslim world sees us.
seriously, I find no reason to even think of other countries while naming a ship of my country.
>> Aircraft carriers, nuclear subs etc make statements.
exactly, and that statement is 'don't f*** with me or else......'. that remains unchanged even if we call the ATV bunny-rabbit-1. there are other media to convey your goodwill to foreign nations, the name of a warship is absolutely not it.
>> US names like LoS Angeles, Califonia are not offensive names.
neither is arihant or kirpan. and yet that buys US zero goodwill in the muslim world.
simply put, the name of a warship has less than zero relevance wrt foreign relations.

INS Indira ,the name alone will cause too much heartburn and pour gasoline into the paki musharraf.
And no secular or pseudo-secular can oppose that.

Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
Better not start naming ships based on people. Otherwise one day our sailors might find themselves on board the INS Manmohan Singh. The ship would have no offensive armament and would only be capable of alerting the enemy to the locations of all other IN ships before raising a white flag.
Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
^No. INS Manmohan Singh will be so Chanakian that the sub will tell the Pakis that it has come to have peace and sightseeing in Krachi. Then the confused Pakis will have a big fight on whether the sub has come for sightseeing or to fight a war or to offer peace. And finally after many ships sunk and soldiers killed, they will surrender before INS Manmohan singh by waving a white handkerchief . That's the plan.

Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2
I had posted some years back on how IN names ships are named. The name should typically reflect the ethos & credo of the unit, institution, it role and its people. It has NOTHING to do with religion or ethicity.However, I have a question. In our 'secular' country, why do we not have Sikh, Muslim, Christian or Jewish names for our weapon systems/platforms?
As others have pointed out, language is independent of ethenicity.
We have INS Investigator http://www.hydrobharat.nic.in/pg_INV.htm continuing a distinguished lineage of survey ships. So there is no bias against Anglican names.
INS Delhi/Mumbai/Kolkata/Kochi/Chennai reflect the seafaring legacy of these cities, and continue a distinguished lineage of RN/RIN ships with same names. INS Mysore honours the valour of that state facing the British and the Battle of Colachel, where our hardy Mallu brethren kicked out the Dutch.
Rajput and Ranjeet honours valour and not ethnicity.
Submarines are named after deep sea levithans, since submarines run deep and strike lethal.
Amphibious ships are name Magar, Gharial, Jalashva (Hippo) that are powerful amphibious creatures.
Vikrant and Arihant are abstract terms reflecting capabilities, like HMS Dreadnought and HMS Warspite. You'll agree its apt for the role!
Coast Guard FPV are named after distinguished Indian women, and include Habba Khatoon, Chandbibi, Rani Jindan, Amrit Kaur, Annie Besant and Bhikaji Cama, to emphasize the role of women in nation building throughout history, irrespective of religion or ethnicity.
Added later - full list including Assamese and Kashmiri women, Indira Gandhi has slipped in using her Priyadarshini alias. Meera Behan and Annie Besant were Anglo-Saxon but played an important role in Indian history. Razia Sultana was of Turkish origin.

Or "INS Hilsa, served piping hot at the finest establishments in Beijing"
