Zorawar Singh Kahluria - The Liberator of Kailash

Original Art By: arsalanactual (Instagram)

#Ladakh #Rajput #Dogra #IndoChinaFaceoff
The year was 1841, a little more than a century before the Kingdom of Jammu & Kashmir acceded to the Indian Union. Under the liege of Maharaja Gulab Singh Jamwal, an ambitious Rajput general by the name of Zorawar Singh Kahluria crusaded to liberate Mount Kailash.
Commandeering a 6000-strong Dogra army, he marched onto Tibet, and Mount Kailash, an object of divine provenance to his people that was occupied by the Tibetans. The campaign was fueled by both pious and militaristic fervor, it was preceded by a successful conquest of Baltistan.

#IndoChinaFaceoff #NationalSecurityScare #SmartPhones #Thread
Recent events have brought to the vanguard the susceptibility and threat vector smartphones present. In the recent past, we saw some very senior service officers getting caught in honey traps --
- through social media and the watchdogs caught unaware. The incidents came into light only after these culprits were already able to compromise our secrets. The quantum of leaked information has resulted in a major security headache for the Armed Forces.
A smart phone is just as common as a wristwatch. Ubiquitously one goes, someone has one, and is engaged in calm or stormy conversation. But what about the people one cannot see?

Breaking Chinese TV sets and mobile phones that you own will actually help China. (A thread...)

#IndiaChinaFaceOff #IndoChinaFaceoff
1. You have already paid for the electronic item. The money has already gone to China.
2. You will then buy a new one to listen to the news about the India-China tension. Most electronic products contain some Chinese components. Again, it will help China.

Starting #NLprimetime today. Hoping we get some sombre news reporting on the #IndoChinaFaceoff. Exactly a week ago, TV news anchors were telling us how we have won the war against China. ImageImageImage
Aaj Tak reporting on the faceoff between the two armies. Talks of 1975 when four Assam Rifles jawans were killed by the Chinese.
TV9 Bharatvarsh is still on Pakistan, Imran Khan and Bushara Bibi. Nuts. Image

As #IndoChinaFaceoff plays out I am starting a thread to look at relative force levels, equipment and deficiencies Despite deficiencies I am 100% confident that Indian Armed Forces can deliver victory if given 'Full Freedom'

Lets start with Naval ASW Helicopters

1/n
ASW Helicopter req

3 Delhi Class, 3 Kolkatta Class, 3 Shivaliks, 3 B'putra @ 2 each = 24

6 Talwars, 2 Rajputs, 4 Kamortas @ 1 each = 12

Vikramaditya = 6

Total need = 42 bare minimum not including reserves, training, maintenance etc

Current 'flyable' holdings = 12- 15

2/n
This is a critical short coming. ASW capabilities are degraded. Surface operations, OTH Surveillance etc also hampered

Next is Naval utility heptrs. Bare minimum requirement at Sea = 40. Current flyable holdings = 20

Indo-China relations : Nehru-Gandhi family's legacy of blunders

Congress-era policies are the root cause of the pain in the neck from China. Let's find out how! Let's start with the blunders committed by Jawaharlal Nehru..

(1/n)

#IndoChinaBorder #IndiaChinaFaceOff
*Nehru disregarded Sardar Patel's advice*

Sardar Patel urged Nehru to be ‘alive to the new danger’ from China & to make India ‘defensively strong’ outlining a series of steps to enhance security

Nehru ignored him & India could not be saved from disastrous consequences!

(2/n)
*Nehru ignored others too : Hindi Chini Bhai-Bhai*

Panchsheel agreement, 1954 was not welcomed by many including former Sec Gen of Foreign Ministry, Sri Girija Shankar Bajpai

Nehru relied on his coterie of advisors & squandered a golden opportunity to solve China problem

In the current face-off, the Chinese appear to have intruded into the disputed area⁠ — in some instances right up to their claim line ⁠— and set up semi-permanent structures.
