While final word on #BlackTop is still shrouded in mystery, I think this should give everyone a fair idea what domination means. Armies don’t need to sometimes physically occupy a location to effectively dominate the area. Indian Army did a fantastic job occupying heights ..
..along the ridge line, overlooking vast expanse of land into Chinese area. Domination is by : 1. Observation - where we can see enemy locations, movement, change in deployments etc. 2. Fire - brining some effective fire of all sorts because now you can directly observe.
The Indian Army is fully capable and qualified to hold these heights in winters too, and continue this domination if chinese do not take steps to diffuse the situation. This location provides amazing flanking support to forces focused on Spangur gap by negating flanking move..
..to Chinese.
Consolidating these positions will continue as IA is focused on creating a strong defensive position ahead of Chushul. IA will always have an edge in pure Infantry based warfare in mountains and by placing more boots on ground we enhance that advantage. Jai Hind.

India Gate originally called All India war memorial was designed by Edwin Lutyens and its foundation was laid by Duke of Connaught in Feb 1921. It was finally inaugurated in 1931 by Lord Irwin.
The Gate doesn’t bear 95-96000, names, but 13,516 names ( ) No distinction is made on basis of caste, religion or rank. Some rough available breakdown is :
( )
Now as per Quoted tweet, this is being presented as some certificate of patriotism.
However, it’s total opposite of that.
There are NO freedom fighters mentioned on India Gate, but only soldiers who died for British Army predominantly in Afghan Wars and some in WW1.
I cannot explain in words the hurt I felt seeing your tweet. It’s not everyday that you come across such loathsome words from a fellow citizen. It’s not about me being a Fauji. It’s not even about you not being one. It’s the sheer audacity and shamelessness
with which you’ve trivialised the sacrifices of those who lost their lives and limbs at #GalwanValley.
In your movies, and this goes out to other members of Bollywood too - you all are very keen to play roles of Armed force personnel. Then your characters become pinnacle
of honesty, bravery and values. Some of them die also in the movie, creating an aura of gloom and despair, nudging the viewers to search their souls and grasp the gist of that scene and movie, which is supposed perfect portrayal of a soldier dying in action and a brilliant
Bollywood imagines itself to have matured by showing clichéd lifestyle of substance abuse n promiscuity.
Real maturity is movies like #KashmirFiles that show the horrors of our history. That force you to think! @vivekagnihotri@AnupamPKher
The reality that we ought to know but
has been suppressed long enough for vested interests.
Lot of genocides have been ignored and not acknowledged; but by other nations. Cambodia, Armenia etc. There isn’t a single example except India where an entire country has been kept in dark about such brutality against
it’s own citizens.
Hollywood has made pretty honest and gut wrenching movies to depict Nazi’s reign of terror on Jews. Nobody ever protested. Because that’s what mature cinema does. It has the capability of telling a story in a comprehensible and relatable manner that can touch
Since the marching contingents have become such a hot topic these days, and in coming days we will see a lot of them in parades, I thought I’ll take a stab at sharing with everyone what exactly goes into making these marching columns and bands.
Drill is actually one of the first things you’re taught when you join the academy. In case of Jawans, in their respective regimental / corps Centers.
A layman, oversimplified version of drill is doing something repetitively, enhancing and honing muscle memory for that and each
action a near perfect copy of previous one. “left, right, left…” You get the drift !
But to achieve this requires thousands and thousands of hours of practice, physical labour, mental attentiveness and tenacity.
It starts with having the right posture. Just standing straight
There was Clubhouse room Akashi where you were moderating for Saket, few months back. Since the topic was ‘Haryana Politics’ so I joined and saw lies were being peddled with hurrahs from the supporters. When I told Saket point blank that he’s lying, you muted me moved me to
audience. Then you, along with Saket and couple of other guys made made considerable fun of veterans, Hindus and as expected, BJP. I remember how you and a fellow speaker offered ‘Two Rupees’ to me because that day in morning I had tweeted ‘Jai Sri Raam’ as it was some auspicious
day. I could’ve left, but I stayed on to listen to the degenerated level that people like you have fallen to just because they think they are with some ‘crusader’. Your Hero was lying before that day, he was lying that day and he’s lying now. You knew, but you chose to ignore, as
I’m sure @Uber started its operations in India assuming it’ll replicate the same seamless operations and comfort of booking a cab, as is abroad. But sadly, every time you’re booking an Uber, you’re hostage to these Cab drivers’ whimsical actions
and surprisingly there is no
possibility of complaint or redressal of customer’s grievance.
Let me walk you through a process of booking an Uber. You’ll go to App, enter where you wanna go and press enter. The App connects you to the nearest driver, or the one who accepts the
duty.
And here is when your nightmare begins.
Firstly, the driver will call or msg you - where do you want to go?
Now the system is supposed to be designed in a way that the can driver is not supposed to know where you are going to ensure safety of traveler and other
