IIRC, Reebok even provides the white PT shoes(as part of a deal) to the navy and all the officers are very happy with them as thy are very comfy(compared to the old canvas) and are at discount for the IN....see nothing wrong in such win win situations.

In the past few months the region's summer captiol has witnessed continued violence aand some of the biggest pro-independence demonstrations since the separatist insurgency erupted in 1989. The protests have triggered a heavy crackdown by Indian security forces including many strict curfews and with that tourist numbers have dropped significantly. Continous disturbances have brought down hotel occupancy from 100 percent in May 2008 to almost zero in September 2008," according to government statements.

they're referring to the first IAC, which is under construction at the Cochin shipyard..however they do make a gaffe in stating that the IN's conventional sub fleet is the world's largest..Chicom has a conventional fleet that dwarfs ours..

That is not a salute! Have you ever watched a funeral with military honours? If not google and watch it...reversed Rifle should have given you a hint (if not the caption!)

Please... I read the caption. My only question is, why do they use the Nazi salute? Is this something handed down by the British? This is an honest question. I would never make fun of a dead soldier. An answer to the question would be nice.

THAT IS NOT A SALUTE !

They are bringing their arm to front from the side in a ceremonial manner, to place on the rifle butt, (as you can see, which is reversed)..The photo was taken at the instant their arm was straight infront. It will continue across, eventually resting on the rifle!

Raja Bose · Post by **Raja Bose** » 07 Dec 2008 08:44

The whole ceremonial procedure is shown here (about 0:40 onwards), perhaps that might clear doubts about this 'nazi hungama'.

1) Sunilupa is right. That photo has been taken at a moment in time when soldiers hands come to rest in that position before moving in and down to rest on the right hand that is already on the reversed rifle butt.

2) Did you check the picture above the one you are referring to? Perhaps you would believe it if I said that what the soldiers in that picture are doing is a "typically Indian" way of picking their noses, considering that you are looking at the picture below the caption and asking, (with obvious sarcasm and not a modicum of "respect for the dead" that you oh so innocently claim to possess ) whether a Nazi salute is a "typically Indian" salute.

That is a typically troll like post from you. Kindly cease and desist, now that you have been caught with your pants down.

It is of interest to the readers of this thread. The significance of the title is "dont post USAF F-22 and X-wing fighters" pictures here. Technically even CRPF and BSF dont belong to the Indian "military"?

Some of the other images do show the region, including a chinese frontier outpost in the Aksai chin across the LAC near DBO. Let me see if I can upload them on the China thread...

Aditya G, crpf and bsf are involved in ct ops. that's the reason their pics are in this thread. and that pic of firemen is not even from the mumbai terror ops but some building which collapsed, so why do anyone looking here for military info be interested in that.

Caption of the above pictures reads:
Indian paramilitary soldiers are seen during a rescue operation after a four storey residential building collapsed in Jagatpuri in New Delhi, India, Saturday, Dec. 20, 2008. At least three people were injured in the collapse.

Apologies for not posting caption.

Hi, regardless the odd picture in the thread does not hurt and is infact interesting. Even if CRPF is fighting terrorists they are not Military are they. For example, I doubt if anyone will make exception to PSLV photos posted here. Basically we go with the spirit of the thread rather than the letter as long as the posts dont become abusrd!

Aditya G, security forces like crpf and bsf are part of the military unified command in ct areas. so when they take part in ct ops the pics are posted here. regarding firemen they are considered part of civil defence and br has been seperate thread to discuss those matters were the pics of the firemen rescusing people from the buildings will be relevant.

Aditya G · Post by **Aditya G** » 22 Dec 2008 15:12

Correction: only the BSF is under Army command that too only in border areas or under state of war. The 'unified command' in NE and the namesake equivalent in J&K is not a military entity.

Even BR has webpages dedicated to Civil Defence and Home Guards on the website. The point is that the force is of interest to viewers here. As long the thread does not go off to a different tangent a single picture will not hurt. I interpret the title of the thread that the pictures should be Indian, and not of foreign forces.
