FWIW, some good explanation

Gen Naravane wrote:“He said that he had spoken to the PM and that it was purely a military decision. ‘Jo ucchit samjho woh karo’ (Do whatever you deem is appropriate). I had been handed a hot potato. With this carte blanche, the onus was now totally on me. I took a deep breath and sat silently for a few minutes. All was quiet save for the ticking of the wall clock.”

I hope I am misinterpreting this phraseology, since it sounds like the good Gen is complaining that the onus was put on him by the civilian leadership. Whereas, this is what every military man/woman craves for - a free hand to apply military logic and tactics to deal with a situation, which seems to have been given here.

Very true. Also the Civilian leadership sitting in Delhi cannot see what's happening on the ground other than so and so tanks are moving. They don't know the military doctrine or tactics, rules to say, this is so and so meter is considered within the tank's firing range or our anti tank weapons range etc. The Civilian leadership correctly said, based on what you see, take a call and we are backing you up for whatever decision you take is the message.

GD Bakshi Destroys Rahul Gandhi for Quoting from Gen Naravane's Book | India-China Ladakh standoff
Watch Maj Gen GD Bakshi dismantle Rahul Gandhi's Parliament attack over quoting ex-Army Chief Gen MM Naravane's unpublished memoir on the 2020 Ladakh standoff with China. Bakshi calls Rahul's "dereliction of duty" claims "absolute nonsense," praising PM Modi's trust in the military chain of command with the order: "Act as you deem fit." From Galwan clash to Rechin La tank standoff, he explains why Modi's response was spot-on—avoiding micromanagement and backing professionals. Drawing from military history like 1967 Nathu La, Bakshi slams Rahul's accusations as baseless.

@RAshokaBJP
450+ entities across India carry the Nehru–Gandhi family name!

Today in the Assembly, I displayed the list - so long that it could barely fit on a single sheet. That itself says everything.

From roads, buildings, schemes, universities, stadiums, airports, ports, awards to national parks - Congress turned public assets into private family branding.

And today, the same Congress lectures on the naming of the VB GRAM G Act?

Congress has ZERO moral authority to speak on this.

India belongs to 140 crore Indians, not one dynasty.

uddu ji,

The good Gen GD Bakshi was uncharacteristically restrained and quite circumspect in his comments on what transpired in the parliament.

One imagines that, at the very least, there would have been no less than 30 odd somewhat ill at ease generals, both serving and retired, behind the curtains, imploring him to be "diplomatic" in his choice of words.

a certain ching chong noodle eating delivery guy is not very popular in military circles

Cyrano wrote:If we could trust Gen Naravane to lead the entire army then we can trust him to be discreet where required in his book.

A simple statement by Gen (Retd.) Naravane itself could have removed lots of confusion. Even now it is not too late for him to state the facts, and what he has penned in his book. BJP is doing firefighting by using some of his earlier interviews in which he says even an inch of territory was not ceded. But him standing by the Govt at this juncture may have been better.

But I also now see the desperation of Indian National Congress u/c Shri. Pappu Ghandi trying to make a story against the BJP, to some how justify (or make people forget) the 1962 China War debacle managed by Bandit-ji. 1962 War was one which was constantly being used to show how incapable Bandit-ji and his chamchas were. Congress now wants to have a similar incident to hit back at BJP.

Sachinji and Others
May I ask why this wish or desperation or whatever you want to call it to pen memoirs??
The rules of official secrets act apply to a certain time from the time of retiring doesnt it??
If so why would anyone pen operational details even if one oversaw a real stand off from which India came off better. by most accounts.
If the wish was to claim otherwise fair enough but operational details need clearnace from not only from South Block but also from North Block isnt it??
But as you mentioned this sort of studied silence for a consierable period and then a statement or two will always be considered made under duress and further muddy the waters.
Should the General keep completely silent and let the drama play out and the Entitled Brat's bluff be called.
What do bhailog think??

The BJP govt has repeatedly said not an inch was lost and have been extremely prickly when questioned by any opposition party, or media, raking up nehruvian blunders and/or calling those who question unpatriotic. This statement itself is wierd given the nature of the LAC which is perception and claims based across hundreds of km of impossible terrain.

Are we patrolling exactly the same or greater area now compared to before 2020? Outside the forces actually patrolling on the LAC, no one knows for sure. What they report is confidential. So the opposition doesn't know any better.

IMO the reality on the ground has been and is changing here and there along the thousands of km. It's likely that we have "gained" a few 100s of sqkm in some places and "lost" a few 10s of sq km elsewhere. Our forces might be OK with this if overall the positions they hold now give them tactical and strategic advantages.

Our opposition and many in aam junta don't have the maturity to understand this and keep their mouths shut. And the govt is stuck with it's bravado statement and can't go into details for obvious larger natsec and geopolitical considerations.

I suspect Gen Naravane went into certain details that the govt didn't feel comfortable to be put in public domain. And they are sitting on his book since even redacting portions of it may reveal something.

So we will keep getting these tamashas now and then.

Gen Navarane has always loved his own soundbites. He could be a Congressi (yes, to me, that's a disqualification)

Modi & Rajnath have not cleansed the line of succession and are paying the price

Lok Sabha Adjourned After Rahul Gandhi Quotes Ex-Army Chief Memoir

Rahul Gandhi questioned the government’s objections after being stopped from quoting a magazine article referencing ex-Army Chief Naravane’s memoir. As ministers objected and sloganeering grew louder, Rahul asked what content was “scaring them so much,” escalating tensions and triggering an adjournment of the Lok Sabha.

Cyrano ji,

whenever any new book is released anywhere, a controversy is usually created to help with the book sales

cheeni delivery guy has just added his own soy sauce, chilly sauce, chily oil and lots of MSG to help out his cheeni masters

the guy is grasping at straws to trip up the Modi govt, especially since no one else has stood up to trump like Modi ji did and still managed to keep the Indian economy going and more importantly signing some big FTAs along the way

Even the Indian farmers are extremely quiet since they have realized what Modi ji has done for their economic protection and gaddars like dakait, the commies and the congis have been shown up to be the traitors that they are, since they were the main supporters of the earlier failed "farmers agitation", along with the paapis, khalistanis and the jihadis......

SIR has not been stopped, the beedis and rohingiyas are being rounded up and pushed out, causing the cheeni delivery guy to bleed credibility from all orifices because his future is looking rather bleak

the coward has per force patched up with tharoor, because tharoor is in a position to do great damage to the congi prospects in the ker elections.

BTW, मुँहफट is a social disease that afflicts many of the senior, serving, as well as, retired babooze, jernails, and politicos.

they err on the side of commission when omission would serve them best

Of course Chetak ji, all this is happening in some very tumultuous times, the MoUPappu will do anything for his massahs.

^^ I wonder if the impending deal news was secretly leaked to Xi.
Hence the "Zomato' guy was ready with a prepared script!!
Also the timing of the Caravan report a suspect.
The timing was too perfect.
The biggest looser in the deal are Chinese, not withstanding their deals with Baratnistan, etc.
Any WaPo, Times expose of the Army's so called debacle!!
Also there will be more innuendos in our press by the usual suspects.
Pakis have gone full mental!!
There are some disturbing news atributed to SuSa
The man has gone completely bonkers!! casting aspersions on MAD and EAS, but more so on EAS and NaMo
Also makes we wonder how many fortune cookies he has cracked recently!!
So this probably Xi's work: He has had to face two trade debacles EU and Unkil settling deals with us.
Even though the Chinese have lot more goodies in their basket to sell to the goras and rest of the world, but it still rankles if India get a foot in Western Hemisphere.
Another term for NaMo and BJP, I think we will be a double digit Trillion economy.
And the writings on the wall and the chinese know it. They are trying everything to stop it happening.

SRajesh ji,


The unending quest for relevance dominates his life

The fact that his so called career ended years ago because of misdeeds and reckless political posturing has hit home

he is looking for a RS seat and so he is advertising his "capabilities"

He does not seem to have realized the fact that he is untouchable because he is radioactive and specializes in always biting the hands that feed him

There is not even an iota of nuisance value that he can bring to the table and such ignominy is his karma.

his evil twin partner in crime runs a so called newspaper that has long been a cheeni mouthpiece in India, and both are into contaminating the public discourse and poisoning the wells

as an increasingly desperate papooze muddies the waters on command from peking and the other BIF, these toothless geriatric sharks smell blood and opportunity

All these "happenings" are undoubtedly well coordinated and planned to cause maximus damage to detract from Modi ji's successes and growing transnational stature.

as papooze said in parliament yesterday, "I am the leader of the opposition, I represent the rest of India" these are dangerous delusions of grandeur and one suspects that the chosen one has been anointed because of such traits. the grandpapa also had similar delusions and even in his case, the BIF leash was clearly evident

with a mere 99 seats, does anyone really represent "the rest of India", is there a prize given out for a second place "also ran" out of control मुँहफट

This is a jhalak of tamil nadu dravidian politics. It happened on live teevee

Sachin ji,

Gen Naravane has already given such a statement, except that no one bothered to look



and

take a look at this, and say that it's not true. the very same sentiment was echoed both in India and pak post 26/11

"Better dead than Red"

"The only good communist is a dead communist"

-American Protestors said it right

The #CPMCongressKuruvaSangam is "offended" by Shri Sadanandan Master’s artificial limbs in the Rajya Sabha.

What should truly offend every Malayalee is the truth behind them.

31 years ago in Kannur, CPIM goons brutally hacked off his legs to silence him for choosing a different ideology. They wanted to erase him.

The Left can try to obstruct his speech, but they can never erase their history of violence.

@SadanandanMash ji is not just a Rajya Sabha MP. He is the voice of thousands of Malayalees who were intimidated, attacked, and silenced under the violent and pro-radical political culture of Congress/CPM.

His presence in Parliament is the #PoliticsOfPerformance defeating the politics of violence and cowardice.

It’s time to change this dangerous culture and move towards a BJP/NDA vision that focuses on jobs, skills, entrepreneurship, and the economic empowerment of all.

Jai Keralam. Jai Hind

^^The communist in India are Unique that : Atheism is restricted only to the Majority Hindu members.
The Muslim and the Xtians are allowed to be both Communists and a Abrahamic at the same time.
This was not an accident but a conscious decsion taken to Suppress the religious identity and cultural heritage of the majority population.
And at the same time promote the other religion in the garb of cultural identity.
Take look at the two entities post independence: Progressive Wrtiers Association and IPTA
All dominated by communists and Urdu/Muslim writers.
Whilst history was being rewritten the Communist cabal, these people were engaged in establhing a cultural dominance of Urdu and suppress religio-ethnic identity of the majority.
Plays, poems and films became a medium to subtly rearrange everthing (or atleast attempt to) and send subliminal message that Hindu religion follows blind beliefs and practices not in tune with the modern society. Yet somehow the other two abrahamics faiths are more modern in their outlook.
Give you three names: all cosidered themsevles communists and so called atheist and all member so Progressie writers association and IPTA, but all buried as per Islamic tradition and custom:

Serious concerns are mounting over the DGCA’s current trajectory under DG Faiz Ahmad Kidwai. Reports suggest a dangerous shift toward shielding manufacturers like Boeing from scrutiny while systematically victimizing pilots and whistleblowers.

The current administration is being accused of fostering a "Culture of Blame" that directly undermines ICAO safety principles. By dismissing pilot safety reports-often reducing complex technical snags to superficial explanations like "wrong direction of force"-the regulator is effectively killing the reporting culture essential for passenger safety.

Beyond operational safety, there is a growing alarm regarding national security. Allegations have surfaced that personnel exposing security threats have been targeted or silenced. Furthermore, the DG’s reported associations with controversial figures and media personalities like Barkha Dutt have raised questions about external influence on institutional integrity.

When a regulator prioritizes corporate protection and personal agendas over independent oversight, the entire aviation ecosystem and national security is at risk.

^ I agree with the above

When our media reported the flaw with the fuel-control switch that resurfaced again in the Heathrow to India flight, the DGCA was quick to jump in and issue a rejoinder

Why are they acting like a Boeing spokesperson? The latter is already muddying the waters by buying off *experts* to peddle lies and blame the pilots

The issue is most certainly with the Boeing Dreamliner. The switch seems poorly designed and not fault-tolerant. If it settles in a cutoff position due to the slightest mistake by the pilot, that's a fatal design flaw

This should result in massive class-action lawsuit & penalties on Boeing. Instead, our DGCA is giving them air cover

Minister of Aviation is clueless

RAHUL GANDHI : Here is the book on PM Modi by Naravane

NISHIKANT DUBEY : "I have also brought books written on Gandhi family

Here is the book on Edwina, Nehru.

I have brought a book on Indira Gandhi.
Along with it, The Red Sari, The Accidental Prime Minister, and Bofors Gate.

These books expose the Gandhi family and its corruption scandals"

Finally Modi 3.0 got to update few pages of text book after 11 years in power.

The new NCERT Social Science for Grade 7 (part 2) is out. It discusses modern financial innovations like UPI, tells students about Indian innovators like JC Bose, weaves in India’s maritime past and so on. It inculcates a vision of an India based on confident risk taking, exploration and innovation. Contrast this with the old “povertarian” narrative where India was depicted as a under confident nation waiting for the gift of civilisation and foreign aid

Why is this fuel switch problem primarily being reported on Air India 787s? Why are other airlines not reporting the same? This could be a fundamental design issue, but other airlines should also have had incidents. Could there be a problem with Air India maintenance procedures?
