This is a training exercise, to learn from each other’s experience in similar type of military operations.ABHYAS 09, is being carried out at Babina near Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh District of India from 12 to 29 Oct 2009.

A highlight about this exercise is that US Army has shipped 17 “Strykers”, its most modern armored fighting vehicle. Besides Iraq and Afghanistan, US has not used strykers in any other country. This exercise will be a series of drills where in Indian T-90’s similar to American US M1 Abrams and BMP’s are joining Strykers in the war games.

“Earlier, I didn’t know the Indians had a mechanized force of this magnitude with so much of a rich tradition,” This is what Sgt Logan Anderson; An US Army officer had to say after a few drills.

“Since this unit of the Indian Army is mechanized and we are a Stryker unit, I am really looking forward to how we are going to maneuver together.”  An US Army officer from Stryker team said.

“This exercises are also to promote mutual trust and understanding through the exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures and associated logistics support. Exposure to highly technical-based weapons, equipment and systems would form part of the three-week-long effort,”

Chinese Border Region Claims

The above are some of the newspapers headlines related to tension building between INDIA and CHINA. These are a result of rise in

(a) Chinese claims of Indian Border Regions

(b) Incursions of Chinese soldiers on Indian border

Some believe that the incursions are a result of Border issues both the countries have not been able to solve since more than 40 years resulting in lack of proper demarcation. In the recent years there have been 13 rounds of talks regarding border, which have yielded no results. Though New Delhi have downplayed the incursion citing demarcations reasons and Beijing has declined direct comment.

Indian media and some military seniors reported rise in Chinese incursions. Indian Military protested the incursions and responded by reopening airbase near china border and landing a Military plane on a forward, remote high altitude air field demonstrating its ability to move its soldiers on the frontline.

However according to Experts and Think Tanks believe China’s aggression on Indian border is direct result of “Beijing’s nervousness over India’s rise.”

This was also seen when Beijing tried to scuttle India’s Civil Nuclear Deal, at the Nuclear Supplier’s Group Meeting indicating that china is not completely comfortable with India’s rise on the world stage. Analysts and experts believe that china is catching up to the idea that it has a competitor in Asia, coming in its way of becoming a world power. So all the incidents happening on the border including Ladakh are directly resulting from Chinese desire to be a dominant power of this region. China has also beefed up its military infrastructure closed to Indian borders.

An Indian Analyst recently announced in the press that china might attack india by 2012. All the recent developments indicate the China is increasingly nervous about india’s rise and doing deliberately everything it can, from scuttling Nuclear Deal, coming in the way of international financial organizations loan grants for Indian border state developments. India’s has to deal with china prudently to eliminate threats and continue to rise on the world’s economic stage.

Wish you 62nd Happy Independence Day !!

“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.” -Jawaharlal Nehru

India's 62nd Independence Day

As the government organizations and educational institutions busily start their celebrations and the rest of the nation enjoys their national holiday by resting at home, I ponder over many things that cross our minds on such occasions but sadly the thoughts just pass over and we do nothing about it. When we listen to the umpteen patriotic songs on this day, our heart is filled with enthusiasm, energy and pride. But the patriotism dies as soon as the day is over. We are back to normal- throwing chocolate wrappers on the road, eating exported chips and never forming a queue for a bus. I am not saying that buying foreign goods or being aloof from it decides if you are patriotic. But doesn’t being undisciplined in all walks of life show that you are disloyal to your country?

Proud to be an Indian

Like many of us say that now its too late and nothing can improve it. Agreed. Corruption is deep rooted in our system and learning discipline will take us ages. Everywhere there is chaos, injustice and demoralization. The increasing number of cell phone and internet connection users and shopping malls propping up all over the country do not prove that things have changed.The infrastructure has improved and so has the number of scams. But the common man is looted even now— looted of his rights, money, freedom. Politics is getting from bad to worse. The overall scenario has improved in the last few years but new problems have risen and brought losses to an unimaginable extent.
But diffidence will take us nowhere. As true citizens of India, we have to do something. Can we gift this sorry state of beings to our generation next?

You and me definitely cannot transform the country overnight. But then someone has to take the first step. Does this first step mean starting a revolt or holding dharnas? No. And I also emphasize on the point that I do not want my country to become like one of the developed nations. We are unique and we prefer to be. A blend of culture and modernization.

We have dream t of it many times and will like it this way. This blend may not be perfect but with planning and continual improvisation, things can change. A lot can be done at the first level by us and at the national level by the people who have the power, be it the national leaders or the businessmen and celebrities.

And just think, we have all the ingredients ready- the intellectuals, the manpower and the awareness.
We are advanced in science and technology and have already achieved a lot in these 60 years. At the same time, much has deteriorated. If we rekindle our patriotism everyday then we all could together achieve greater heights.

To start with, can’t we stop the bribes or can’t we keep our city clean and green? Yes, we can. And once we start, our collective strength and planning will guide us through the rest of the path.
If we all keep striving, then who can stop us from being the “Sone ki chidiya” that we once were!

Jai Hind!

Happy Independence Day

After Saurav Ganguly’s answer to Australia’s Chin-Music in First Test and Dravid Heroics at Adelaide in Second Test and Sehwag’s swashbuckling 195 went in vain in Third Test. Australia won the third test and leveled the series 1-1 in the 4 Test match series. With only one test remaining at Sydney Cricket Ground, India needed to win the last test match to win the series in Australia against Australia.

India batted first and scored a whopping 705/7 decl. with every batsmen getting some runs under thier belts.

India touch 7-700 !!!

Sachin Tendulkar had a dull series till this point and scored 241 not out and Laxman scoring 178.

Sachin Tendulkars 241 at Sydney

Special observation shows the Sachin Tendulkar didn’t played even a single shot towards cover and mid off region. He did this because he was getting caught behind for the last three matches. It shows incredible patience and temperament.

Australia were all out for 474 runs in their first innings with Justin Langer scoring 117 runs and Simon Katich scoring 125.

India didn’t enforce the follow on and scored quick fire 211/2 declared with Rahul Dravid scoring 91 and Sachin Tendulkar Scoring 60.

Australia needed mammoth total of 443 runs to win the match and win the series and India need 10 wickets to get and win a series. But, it was Steve Waugh playing his test last innings of his life was determined to save the match.

Steve Waugh’s Farewell Test

He scored 80 runs. Australian wickets did fell one by one but was too late and the time was running away for india to clear off the tail. Steve bucknor (umpire) stubborn decisions didn’t help india’s cause. Parthiv Patel (Wicket Keeper) also fumbled few crucial chances.

Sourav Ganguly was presented the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

I think all of us can agree that, it was hard fought series and nobody hailed India’s performance would give jitters to Australian team so much so as to get them to the brink of loosing a test series at home which had not been achieved after 1992’s famous West Indies Tour ( Heroics of Ambrose 7/1).

Let us all hope that for India’s Tour of Australia 2007-08 we would be able to repeat the same feat or would surpass it by a good mile . Big Jove , we will achieve it.
