To Win J&K, We Have To Out-Think Pak Army; Here's What They Could Do Next

The best thing to come out of the all-party delegation that went to Jammu & Kashmir a few days ago is that it had egg on its face.
J&K can simmer down with talks, but its core issue will never be "settled" as long as Pakistan exists.
To deal with the Pakistan problem, we have to think (and out-think) the Pakistani army – its Deep State which includes the ISI and jihadi elements beholden to the army - and meet it measure for measure.
CHINOOK IN NORTH SEA
Chinook in the North Sea We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance. ~Marcel ProustIt is excusable if you thought the Chinook was a warm wind that blew over the Canadian prairie, melting snows and raising temperatures. After all, that was what we learnt in geography at school, and few, if any of us, have had occasion to add another 'Chinook' to our vocabulary. But Boeing has been making a helicopter called the Chinook since about 1962. In fact, the Chinook-47 is perhaps unlike any helicopter you may have encountered either in real life or the movies, because it can carry up to 47 persons on board.
MOTHER'S DREAM
A heart-warming story that should make every Indian proud.
The write up below show not only the best of soldiering - but also the camaraderie, the self-sacrifice and traditions which make the Armed Forces so special. Do remember that the selfless efforts put in by all the course-mates of 2/Lt Joseph to make life memorable for his family have been voluntary and self motivated! And, a special thanks to Indigo Airlines which rose to the occasion.
How would you feel if you were a Mother who loses her only son at his prime age of 21, and then be unable to be present for his last rites and never be able to visit her son's grave for a lifetime? Some pains can be forgotten, some forgiven, but for Mrs. Thressiamma Joseph from Kerala, this one riled her for over 25 years.

Judges Need Not Know All Laws
Judges Need Not Know All Laws
What is required of judges, so say the greatest of them, are two qualities. Honesty and courage. A good judge will ask all the right questions; a good advocate will point out the right answers from the statutes. He will present, to the judge, previously decided cases, notings from the legislative exercise that led to the law, and, above all, the repercussions on future problems, should the order not be passed in his favour.
In an LLM (Master of Laws) class that this author was attending, students insisted that every judge should know every law. Being the sole opponent of that view was not an enviable position. Yet, the best of jurists have declared that it is not necessary for all judges to know all the laws. It is the duty of the contesting advocates to highlight their stand as effectively as debunking that of the opposition.

A magistrate passed an order releasing an impounded passport. He had heard arguments in favour of such an order. He felt convinced and said so. The next day, he had doubts, nagging doubts. What was the argument that swung the case? Did the magistrate get the gist right? Can he placate his conscience?

"My Dear Jawans,
We shall be celebrating our 70th Independence Day tomorrow. On this occasion, I extend my heartiest greetings and best wishes to each one of you serving in the Armed Forces.

Well Done Indian Army
Long overdue action.
And here is another beautiful well executed idea.
The Tral bn removed the Pakistan flag from the tower at Burhan Wani's town and replaced by hoisting the tricolor. The whole event was shot with a Quad copter.
Well Done, once again.
It has come out beautiful. Just watch.

Why Indian Army should be indebted to this IMA batch from 70 years backIndian gentlemen cadets were commissioned, for the first time under the tricolour of independent India.| 5-minute read | 28-08-2016The surviving veterans of the New Delhi chapter of the Indian Army gathered at the Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi on August 8, 2016 to commemorate the start of their training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) Dehradun on this day 70 years ago.In August 8, 1946, 249 bright young men reported at the academy, brimming with confidence and hope. After the end of Second World War in 1945, India had been granted independence, following hundreds of years of foreign rule. So these were to be the leaders of a free India and were fired with patriotic zeal.
Why MoD hasn't seen any reforms in last two years
WHY MINISTRY OF DEFENCE HAS NOT SEEN ANY REFORMS IN PAST TWO YEARS
Major General Mrinal Suman
India's Ministry of Defence (MoD) is unique in most aspects. No other country can boast of such a set-up. Not convinced? Read on.
Responsibility for India's national defence is discharged through MoD, which provides the policy framework and wherewithal to the armed forces. MoD has five Secretaries, heading different departments. Here is a closer look at their functioning.
Department of Defence (DoD)
According to the Allocation of Business Rules of the government, the Defence Secretary heads DoD that is responsible for the defence of India and every part thereof, including preparation for defence and all such acts as may be conducive in times of war. In other words, he is tasked to ensure the defence of the country. Surprised? Yes, it is his responsibility and not that of the Service Chiefs.

A MISSED CALL TO KNOW YOUR BANK BALANCE, LAST TRANSACTIONS

A Missed Call To Know Your Bank Balance, Last Transactions
A Missed Call To Know Your Bank Balance, Last Transactions
05 August 2016
Often, we need to know the latest bank balance. For this we may log in through the net or go to the nearest ATM centre or call the branch. Some of us may be using phone-banking. But all these options are time-consuming, particularly, the phone-banking facility, where you have to press some numbers if you want to know something, and then another number for going to a particular menu and then giving PIN and then… and it continues! If you call the branch, the concerned staff member will ask you a few questions to know

Pakistan's proxy war in Kashmir proved

She was executive producer with the International Commentary Service Inc, New York in 1990. She was the executive publisher of The Earth Times, New York (1992- 98). She has also worked as the editor of Choices Magazine, United Nations Development Programme. She writes on various issues including human rights, population and sustainable development.
Recent news on Times Now have brought out the extent of the game Pakistan and it's so called non-state actors, who are joined to the hip of the ISI, are playing in Kashmir. Perhaps the most damning aspect is that many of our journalists—Arnab calls them the Pakistan Apologist Group, actually help to fan the flames.
TIME FOR RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL IN BUREAUCRATIC ROLES
----- Forwarded Message -----
SNAPSHOT
A bureaucrat who doesn't wish to be named writes on why the time is right for the Modi government to initiate a two-fold reform in bureaucracy. One, administrative positions should be made open to retired military officers and two, experts should be brought in via lateral entry
The stunning victory of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in 2014 rested on its promise of reforming India, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repeatedly committed himself to this objective.

FRREEDOM FROM FANATISM

STOP BEING DEFENSIVE ABOUT KASHMIR / BY VIKRAM SOOD
For a change a sane advice. Indeed India must stand up for its right to J&K that acceded to India legally and is an integral part of India. This dilly dallying is what causes confusion, and people like Chidrambaram start making nosensical statements. Govt needs to put forth a straight policy to firmly state J&K is not a dispute and will not be treated as anything but integral part of India. What is in dispute is the Pak Occupied portion of so called 'Azad kashmir' and Gilgit Baltistan. Firner action is needed, not only to bring situation under control, but also to teach Pakistan a lesson.

Stop being defensive about Kashmir
By Vikram Sood
The writer is former chief of R&AW
Well-known facts are sometimes forgotten, conveniently overlooked or twisted to suit a particular narrative. So, it is necessary to restate some facts and bring the discourse back on rails.
Kashmir, all of it, belongs to India and it will stay like that. We have a document affirming the status of Kashmir and Pakistan has never observed the UNSC resolutions of April 1948 to solve the issue. In any case, Jammu and Kashmir is no longer listed by the UN as a dispute.
