𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 : 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 !!!

Rohitash Singh Ahlawat, a Jat boy from Haryana got selected for NDA and then went on to become an ace fighter pilot.

The Indian Air Force had organised the Biannual Air show at Yalhanka Air Base in Bengaluru ...

The daredevil aerobatic stunt flying was the main attraction of the Show. Rohitash was part of the aerobatic display team, & he was to go SOLO in his MiG-29.

His parents were in town visiting their son at his station of posting, so they were present among the spectators.

The old couple's chests swelled with pride as Flt Lt Rohitash Singh Ahlawat's name was announced. The father proudly said to everyone sitting around "म्हारो छोरो से!"

Rohitash took off with a thunderous boom ...

A thread from WhatsApp ...
Maybe Tad exaggerated & dramatic, but in general true ...

A good turn deserves one back!

Why Russia matters for India!

50 years ago, in 1971, the USA threatened India to stop the 1971 war.
An alarmed India sent a SOS to the Soviet Union.

👇

A story thats been nearly erased from Indian #history books!

When Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war seemed imminent, Kissinger convinced Nixon to send US 7th Fleet’s Task Force, led by the nuc-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, to the Bay of Bengal.

👇

The USS Enterprise, at 75,000 ton, was the world's largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the 1970s with more than 70 fighter aircraft. A monster. The Indian Navy’s fleet was led by the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, Vikrant, with 20 light fighter aircraft.

'The Charge of The Light Brigade'

I
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!" he said.
Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
...

II
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered.Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.

...

III
Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

Thread: Triggered by the Tragedy that beset the Nation yesterday
Credit @Indusglyphs ...

This will be a long thread so pls be patient

A lot of skeletons & shenanigans will also be bared.

Not since Rajiv Gandhi's death, has loss of a Public figure so stirred the Nation!

+

2
Or should I say, stirred the Nation's vulnerability?

Funnily, while alive, Gen Bipin Rawat was constantly under snide attack. Somehow his defenders seem to have been meek whilst his attackers articulate.

+

3
His appt as COAS had drawn widespread criticism frm Veteran Community mainly frm a specific Region & an infamous 'Lobby' known to ex undue influence.

But, fact is with his appt, Control ex by a 'clique' over the Army, which was partly disrupted by Gen VK Singh, was gone.

A Thread: Lakmipur Kheri Incident - Some points by an ordinary Indian for the Hon'ble Supreme Court to ponder over

Via Col @bmssinha

Jai Hind 🇮🇳 Respected Supreme Court Judges,

To begin with, I am NOT against your taking suo-motto cognizance of Lakhimpur Kheri incident!

+

2
However I find it strange that youve waded into the midst of investigation days after the incident esp when there's NO indication that UP Govt WASNT doing its job properly.

Do recall West Bengal violence where many many more died in ostensibly state sponsored killings.
+

3
In case of West Bengal, the Supreme Court didnt admit the PIL asking the petitioners to approach the WB High Court instead.

I also remember that two Hon'ble Supreme Court judges even recused themselves from hearing the case. Wonder why!!

An Old Copied Thread ...

What Is Army ??

Army is:-

When a cold and shivering jawan gets you a cup of hot tea on a patrol break at 13,000 feet.

When your sixth sense tells you there is something wrong with a guy at 50 meters.

+

2
When if you meet with an accident, the first thing you check is the 'serviceability' of your legs.

When you speak the language of your boys.

When you sit from dusk to dawn in an ambush on Valentine’s Day, you know army is giving you 'the red rose'.

+

3
When you are a master at pump stove, lanterns, solar lights, bukharis and travelling in trains without reservations.

When you know more about cramps and cold injuries than your average doctor.

When a girl in the pub is indicated by 'clock-ray method'.
