Can some kind soul provide a translation of this speech. I picked up bits and pieces...Dr. Nahid Sheikh was speaking with full of passion and I didn't get the whole meaning ...would love to hear the entire content. thanks!

The lady starts with the role of the mother in moulding children and asks for the involvement of women in national security. She says that empowering fisherwomen in coastal areas to keep a lookout for alien boats and vessels should be done. She also says that children should be taught about national security from school days. She says that the organization FINS will conduct seminars that include women and youth. She ends by joking that she is a lecturer who is accustomed to talking for 45 minutes at a stretch and that her 3 minutes is hardly enough.

Hi

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this. Please do let me know if the content is inappropriate for either this topic, or this forum. Basically, almost 5 years, we had created a show called 'Line of Duty' for Times Now, which captured life along India's front-lines. I have just posted on my blog my team's experience of spending a week with the Lightenings in Lohegaon - Pune. Here's the link - http://mayurica.blogspot.com/2011/06/se ... ts-of.html.
Have also blogged about what it was like to sail on the Viraat for about 5 days - http://mayurica.blogspot.com/2011/05/sa ... iraat.html
Please do visit, read and replug if you find the posts interesting.
Thanks

Mayurica,

Isn't there any follow up to "Line of Duty"?

IIRC, most of BRF used to eagerly used to look forward to the next episode when you had opened a thread just to cover the show and the episode content etc were pretty impressive.

Mayurica · Post by **Mayurica** » 06 Jun 2011 13:05

Unfortunately no. Times Now was then a young news channel, and realised that shows like Line of Duty were branding it as more of a long-format/ docu / features channel, instead of hard core 'breaking news'. We did about 20 episodes across the length and breadth of India and then we were asked to slowly ease out of it. Anyway, it was an experience of a lifetime for us. Lets hope, one day Times Now decides to revisit this soon

@Mayurica

M'am, could you please make them available on YouTube? Would do an immense service in raising awareness about the Indian Armed Forces amongst the people.

You could watermark them with your company's logo/name/URL in a visible yet unobstrusive manner. That way, word too spreads about your company, ownership established and people get to view the amazing show. Unfortunately missed the show then as the cable guy wasn't providing Times Now. If you do agree, then please upload the highest resolution videos possible

Please consider

TIA

Dear Hiten

Thank u very much for ur interest. However, much as i would like to upload the episodes on youtube, im not authorised to do so, due to issues of intellectual copyright. Also, i am no longer with the channel and so I dont have access to the shows. But will definitely pass on the message to the people at Times Now.

In the meanwhile, if u search youtube with the keywords 'line of duty' and times now, u will find that some episodes have been uploaded - including (sukhoi - also on my blog), desert commandos (10 paras) and suryakirans, apart from clips of siachen, submarine and viraat.

Hope this helps.

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 06 Jun 2011 17:59

that's just too bad, about uploading the episodes I mean.
it would be really good to have the whole set on youtube, as natgeo has done with the recent mission army episodes.
LoD was one of the best series covering India's armed forces and all your episodes were closely followed by the enthusiasts here.
congrats once again.

btw, any chance of an encore ?

Mayurica · Post by **Mayurica** » 06 Jun 2011 18:08

@ rahul i wish

coming from you, its a huge compliment. Will try and take it up with people who can make it happen again... in the meanwhile, inspired by the number of hits i see on the sukhoi post today (and mostly from bharatrakshak), im going to revisit all the episodes again and blog about life out there, the way we saw it.

rohitvats · Post by **rohitvats** » 06 Jun 2011 19:40

^^^First and foremost, many thanks for the taking the pain of filming the series in the first place. It was simply amazing! Filled with proper content with-out too much jingo-giri...just the right mixture of information and visuals.

As for the blog thing, please pen all that you can and I'm sure, the whole BR will be reading through it. Much appreciate your contribution.

The language is quite "colorful" to put it mildly

Perhaps not a good idea to post in the public domain. IMHO it depicts the cadets in poor light. That being said there are quite a few "goofy" videos posted by NDA IMA and even Navac cadets out on the "interwebs".

Thank you very much!!

Actually Nat Geo could have included atleast small 1-2 min capsules on other support elements like the Pioneer Corps, RMV Corps, CMP, Army Postal Corps, Army Education Corps.And probably a mention of the dental corps along with the part on AMC.

Or am I now asking for too much eh?

Yeah, I guess they could have. However, I am not complaining.

I had never expected a Indian television show on Army to be this brilliant. To say that Mission Army exceeded my expectations is an understatement. Watching it was an amazing experience.

To dear Newbies and all enthusiasts born post Indian Economic Liberalization, Please see these extraordinary fighters. I might be wrong but as far as I know this is the only video I've seen of Tul Bahadur Pun. People like these are not men. They are Lion Hearts in Human Skin. Please pay your obeisance. Today we might know "Prachanda" and Girija Prasad Koirala but these Lion Hearts are the ones truly worthy of remembrance.

Couldn't help notice that the technical advisor for the videos was Charlie Beckwith of massa Delta Force. Rasha Drakovitch has made many such quality documentaries on armed forces during the late 80s and 90s iirc.

The saying that they mention in the last video is originally a Nepalese one: Kayar Hunu Bhanda Marnu Ramro.

Going a bit OT but here is an account of Gurkhas in action during the Kargil War sending TFTA ghazis fleeing - account is by their CO Lalit Rai who was awarded a VrC for his actions.

http://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewto ... &start=160

A few choice snippets to show what these real men are made of.

But my Gorkha boys really proved their worth in gold and were unstoppable; I have to doff my hat to my boys! Where normal guys would have had a tough time even walking in those altitudes, my boys sprinted! They charged up and when we were at close quarters with the enemy, my boys did what they had been dying to do for so long, they removed their khukris and started chopping enemy heads. As we charged up, I could see the heads rolling down. When the Pakis saw that - they couldn't hold themselves any longer. They just got up and started running away. It was a sight to behold! 5 ft tall Gorkhas jumping up and chopping off the heads of these strapping, 6 ft tall Pathans, who were fleeing in sheer terror.

My boys also looked at me for some reaction, I could feel the palpable tension in the air. I have always believed: a dash of humour can really relieve a lot of tension in your life. I had to alleviate their tension quickly and firm their resolve to fight to the end. The Pakis - were cursing and using the choicest of abuses even as they advanced, I gave it back to them in equal measure, with all the Punjabi that I knew. I turned to my boys and said, ' Dushman tumhare commanding officer Saab ko gaali de rahe hain aur tum log chup-chaap baithe ho?!' Now funny thing is that a Gorkha Johnny doesn't know how to give gaalis, and as far as discipline and obedience goes, he is unmatchable.

So they looked at each other and I could read the look in their eyes, it said, 'Saab ne hukum diya hai toh gaali dena hi padega. They looked around and wondered, who could perform this difficult task, and finally nominated one amongst them to give the gaalis. He got up and bellowed seriously, Pakistani kutta, tum idhar aayega toh tumhara mundi kaat degaa! I turned around and told him, 'The Pakis will surely die…but they will die laughing that Gyan Bahadur can't even give proper gaalis !' They all broke into laughter and that kind of revved them up and got their josh back up again…and they all said, 'Abo tah kukri nikalera taeslai thik paarchhu… (We will take out our khukris now and sort him out) we'll fight…'
