A SUBALTERN OF THE SIKHS

The XIV Sikhs were to attack astride the Gully Ravine . Two companies were on the right of the avine one behind the other , and and two companes down the bottom of the ravine , one behind the other. My company No 4  was on the top of the right hand side of the ravine and was in front line. My company commander was Fowle, who had replaced Spankie.

SIKH WARRIORS IN THE GREAT WAR

   The ferocious battles during the Anglo-Sikh Wars of 1845-46 and 1848-49 defined for all time, if indeed this was ever necessary,  the indomitable fighting prowess and spirit of the Sikh warrior. During the ensuing occupation of the Punjab by the expanding colonists, the Khalsa soldiery was sought to be disbanded and indeed the process had begun when the British administration were confronted by the stark reality of policing and defending the turbulent northwest frontier region with Afghanistan.

SIKH WARRORS IN GREAT WAR

The ferocious battles during the Anglo-Sikh Wars of 1845-46 and 1848-49 defined for all time, if indeed this was ever necessary,
the indomitable fighting prowess and spirit of the Sikh warrior. During the ensuing occupation  of the Punjab by the expanding colonists, the Khalsa soldiery was sought to be disbanded and indeed the process had begun when the British administration were confronted by the stark reality of policing and defending the turbulent northwest frontier region with Afghanistan.

Thus,  without  much  ado  but  certainly  some trepidation, the British resurrected the erstwhile Sikh soldiery, albeit as ‘irregular’ forces for service on the frontiers. This was in fact the beginning of the famed PIFFERs even while the first 'pure' Sikh regiments were shortly raised for service in the land of the five rivers. Overwhelmed by the events of 1857, the chastened British administration were soon to massively expand the percentage of Sikhs in the re- organised Indian Army, and these new regiments, infantry, cavalry, sappers and gunners, served with distinction and characteristic gallantry in various parts of India and overseas, in defence of the Empire.

MISSILES

FUTURE DEFENCE AGAINST MISSILES WITH NUCLEAR HEADS

The time is not too far when Pakistan will itself stop threatening India with nuclear toys and China won’t measure its strength by missile technology as India is all set to become a missile-proof country where no uninvited missiles could dare to touch Indian soil. Indian scientists are working on a top secret project under which the smartest military weapon of the 21st century is being developed which is named after Hindu goddess Kali.

Scientists say that it can potentially be used as a beam weapon. Bursts of microwaves packed with gigawatts of power (one gigawatt is 1000 million watts) produced by this machine, when aimed at enemy missiles and aircrafts will cripple their electronic system and computer chips and bring them down right away. According to scientists the KALI is far deadlier than so-called laser weapons that destroy by drilling holes since this process consumes time. Its efficiency has pushed our scientists to look forward to inventing a high-power microwave gun to destroy incoming aircrafts and missiles, based on the same method.

The Wrath of KALI

In early 2012 it was rumored that India conducted a super secret weapons test called “Operation

GOLDEN JUBILEE GET TOGETHER AT IMA - 37 REGULAR (28TH NDA COURSE)

As our course the 37 Regular celebrated The Golden Jubilee of our commissioning from 14-16 Jun, a younger course celebrated their Silver at NDA. A write up!! Am fwd an article by Mrs Prachi Johar, w/o Col Akaash Johar, 80th NDA.

How NDA converted me to a new faith.
There are ‘institutes’ and there are ‘institutions’. There are ‘corridors’ and there are ‘pathways to glory’. There are ‘batches’ and there are ‘courses’. There are ‘alma maters’ and there is ‘THE NDA’. I made a journey of converting my beliefs last weekend. This ‘journey’ actually requires a more powerful, weightier, impactful description – it was a peregrination.

INCOME TAX RELIEF ON ARREARS - SEC 89(1)

Filing your ITR? Don’t forget to claim tax relief on arrears

By

Chandralekha Mukerji , ET Bureau|

In many cases, the individual might have moved up in the tax slab and should definitely not be penalised with higher taxes because he received his income late,” says Archit Gupta, founder and CEO, ClearTax.in.

BENGALURU: It is bonanza year for government employees. Around 16 lakh ex-servicemen have received the first installment of the one-rank-one-pension payouts along with another fifty-two lakh retired pensioners from central government service who would benefit from the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. Although, technically, they have earned the money years back, the pension and pay hikes will be credited as lump sum to their bank accounts only now. This could mean a huge tax bill. There is, however, an escape route which most are not aware of. As per tax rules, if you have received any portion of your salary or pension in arrears or in advance, you are allowed tax relief under section 89(1) .

ARMY LIFE - AMAZINGLY INTERESTING

ARMY FAMILY

 

 

Life in the army they say is mighty fine....

Army officers are the most amazingly easy people to get along with. Should you fall in love with one and decide to marry him, here is what you can expect.

1. He will be extremely respectful to your parents and your family. He may not understand why your brother has long hair or sleeps late, but he will try to understand...because he loves you. However, there will be indirect hints about getting up at 0500 hrs (it's never 5 am) and doing 5 km with 100 push ups. And how a crew cut is the most fashionable hairstyle ever.
