bhakt, I am genuinely passionate about space. But can anyone explain to me how interplanetary space travel in public-private partnership, as announced by the Minister today, has anything to do with COVID relief for millions in India?
This is whats at stake. The Commander of the Air India 777 flying to Rome to rescue 265 Indians is Captain Swati Raval. She is the mother of a t year old child. This is called bravery. Its people like this who are being targeted by ignorants in RWAs. Not done.
For those wondering, this Army officer leading his men in Galwan is Capt Soiba Maningba of 16 BIHAR. He is from the Senapati district of Manipur and was commissioned in the Army in 2018. He received a Mention in Despatches this Republic Day.

Reqin, one of the areas identified by the Chinese as being under Indian Army control is a valley. By dominating the feature along its side and traversing the ridge, Indian Army soldiers could dominate the Chinese posts in Spanggur. We would be nearly 4 kms inside.

And yet you consider it your birthright to offer commentary on every aspect of India, day in and day out. But that's absolutely fine. Sometimes though, it's important to hold a mirror to yourself and realise that denying the truth doesnt serve you or your national cause.
We don’t need foreign journalists reporting from Delhi and parroting each other to tell us that.
We are well aware of our challenges and how to deal with them.

pilots who tested positive for Covid had false positive results. Re-tests indicate they are clear. Result of 5th pilot awaited. Also awaiting re-test of engineer and technician who tested positive.
While we don't know the exact circumstances in which the IAF pilot was shot down, lets not, for a moment, forget that he shot down an F-16 first (possibly an F-16 Block 50) with an upgraded MiG 21 Bison, a jet which first entered service with the IAF in the sixties.

In fact, Mickey Malik is an exemplary pilot - flew into Vavuniya during the SL war, served during Kargil (Leh, Thoise), flew PM MMS into Great Nicobar after the tsunami, air dropped supplies for troops near Galwan. Now sacked for twitter remarks on the PM after your complaint.

1. On Sunday, Maharashtra crossed 4000 Covid cases after 39 days. Mumbai reports 600 cases after a month. Covid hasn't disappeared. Every day of delaying the private availability of vaccines makes us vulnerable. Unlike other countries, there is no dearth of supply here.
So I just interviewed Flying Officer Avani Chaturvedi, the first Indian woman to fly a fighter jet. Asked her if she worries about being shot down behind enemy lines, this is what she said ...

Pratik, the Indian armed forces have access to state of the art imagery from our imaging satellites and those of friendly partner nations. This was happening under our noses for an extended period of time. The decision to militarily respond is a political one.
Does Indian army not have access to real-time satellite imagery? If so many media orgs are able to show how there was a massive Chinese army build-up resulting in 20 Indian soldiers being martyred, why didn't Indian army use this real-time intelligence to avoid this catastrophe?

1.Ignorant to pass off India Gate & the names inscribed as merely `a symbol of our colonial past.' More than 74,000 Indians were killed in WW-1, one of the largest volunteer forces in history. The legacy of the Indian Army, one of the greatest anywhere, stems from its past.
The names inscribed on the India Gate are of only some martyrs who fought for the British in the World War 1 & the Anglo Afghan War & thus is a symbol of our colonial past: GoI Sources

Move over Rhea! Here, a reporter's channel claims he's on Finger Top, meaning 20K foot heights on the Pangong North Bank. Simultaneously, the caption says 'Operation Black Top.' So he's also on the South bank of Pangong, that too in Chinese territory!(Black Top is across the LAC)
