My Dear Indians, Today is 9 Dec 2022. Exactly 51 years back on this day during the India Pakistan War….. At 8.45 pm on 9 December 1971 Indian Naval Ship INS Khukri was torpedoed by a Pakistani submarine in the Arabian sea. (A Torpedo is a bomb, shaped like a long narrow tube that is fired from a submarine and explodes when it hits another ship) INS Khukri sank within minutes. 178 sailors and 18 officers went down with the ship. The captain of the ship is the last man to abandon the ship after everyone else has been rescued. For INS Khukri there was not enough time to save all Officers and Sailors. Captain Mahendra Nath Mulla , the Captain of INS Khukri stood by his ill-fated shipmates till the last moment and shared their destiny although he had the opportunity  to save himself. He went down to the bottom of the sea with his ship & shipmates.   Captain Mahendra Nath Mulla has set the highest traditions in The Indian Navy. सबसे पहले देश फिर मे...

Dear Indians, Today- 4 Dec- is Navy Day of India. This day we remember and rejoice the super-successful attack by The Indian Navy on Karachi, which is the largest commercial port and Naval Harbour of Pakistan. Before the India-Pakistan war of 1971, the then Chief of Naval Staff Admiral S M Nanda had said...  "If war comes again, I assure you that we shall carry it right into the enemy's biggest ports like Karachi. And you have my word that given the opportunity, the Indian Navy will make the world's biggest bonfire of it." . And the Indian Navy did it. On the night of December 4-5, 1971, Admiral Nanda ordered missile attacks on Karachi. The fire raged on for seven days, enveloping Karachi in smoke. Operation Trident- What happened on 4/5 Dec 1971 Congratulations, Thank You and Best Wishes to all Officers & Sailors on The Indian Navy Day  🇮🇳 Jai Hind ! Gaurav Negi

My Dear Young and Little Indians, आप सभी को दशहरा ( विजय दशमी ) की शुभकामनाएं I purposefully greeted you in Hindi. The objective was to write/ pronounce the name of our festival correctly. Its is दश-हरा and not दश-हIरा In English both these names are written as Dush-hara. In English people write and pronounce it as Dussehra/ Dussera also. Let us write and pronounce our names correctly. Indian names have a science, logic and history. Some of us believe that this festival is called Dush-hara because Ravan had ten heads and he was defeated on this day. But this is a wrong understanding. दश means TEN...... Today the date/ तिथि  as per Vikram Samvat Panchang is दशमी Month - आश्विन Fortnight - शुक्ल Date/ तिथि - दस or दशमी And it is हरा not हारा हारा means Defeated Shri Ram killed Ravan NOT to defeat him. He killed Ravan because he wanted to relieve Ravan of a curse. हरा or हरना means to take-away and relieve someone of pain/ curse etc.   What was the curse ? What is the history of ...

Madan Lal Dhingra was a friend/ companion of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (Veer Savarkar) He was born on 18 September 1883 in Amritsar, India in a well-to-do affluent family. Though his father as a Govt servant of the British, he was a revolutionary at heart. His revolutionary activities resulted in his expulsion from various colleges where he studied. Finally, his elder brother convinced him to go to Britain for higher studies.

My Dear Indians, June 5-6 is the anniversary of "Operation Blue Star" What was "Operation Blue Star" ? “Operation Blue Star” was a product of Mrs Indira Gandhi’s lust for power. For the Indian Army it was an operation that had to be executed on the orders of the Govt and it was executed successfully. But the situation requiring “Operation Blue Star” could have been avoided had Indira Gandhi not been hungry for power, at every cost. Indira Gandhi did NOT learn her lessons in 1975 when she imposed Emergency and suspended Democracy in India.   What led to “Operation Blue Star” in June 1984 ? What happened before and after “Operation Blue Star” ? This book is written by Lieutenant General Kuldip Singh Brar, Vir Chakra. He is the Indian Army Officer who planned and executed "Operation Blue Star" .   Lt Gen Kuldip Singh Brar is a Sikh. Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was a Sikh. Maj Gen Shahbeg Singh was a Sikh. Capt (later Colonel) Jasbir Singh Raina is a Sikh S...
