15TH JANUARY, THE ARMY DAY IN INDIA….IS THIS ONE DAY THE ONLY DAY WE REMEMBER OUR SOLDIERS ???

IF WE CALL OURSELVES PATRIOTIC ITS NOT WORTH IT B'COZ THESE ARMY PERSONNELS KNOW THE TRUE SPIRIT AND MEANING OF PATRIOTISM


INDIAN ARMY DURING THE VICTORY IN KARGIL.....THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT IN INDIAN ARMY HISTORY......PROUD TO BE INDIAN....

15TH JANUARY……THE ARMY DAY..A TRIBUTE TO THE SOLDIERS AND OFFICERS WHO GUARD THE COUNTRY’S BORDERS.
IT WAS ON THIS DAY THAT LT.GEN. K.M.CARIAPPA BECAME THE FIRST INDIAN OFFICER TO TAKE OVER AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE INDIAN ARMY. AND AT PRESENT GEN.DEEPAK KAPOOR IS THE CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF. RIGHT FROM KARGIL VICTORY IN 1999 TO THE REPRESENTATION OF INDIA IN FRANCE ON THEIR LAND BY OUR RIFLE FORCES IN 2009. INDIAN ARMY HAS GIVEN US THE JUBILANT PRIDE TO CALL US INDIANS….
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE SAID THAT IF HE CAN GET RUSSIA’S SCIENCE, AMERICA’S MONEY AND INDIA’S ARMY HE CAN BUILD THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD..WHAT ELSE I CAN SAY FOR OUR INDIAN ARMY WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST COMBAT-TESTED ARMIES IN THE WORLD AND CURRENTLY IN MIDST OF TREMENDOUS CHANGE DUE TO NUCLEAR ENVIRONMENT AND THE CHALLENGES TO TACKLE THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CHALLENGES.
BUT THE POINTS TO BE PONDERED ABOUT AND WHICH CANNOT LET OUR LEADERS AND THE COMMON MAN REST IN PEACE ARE HERE TOO. DURING THE 26/11 ATTACKS IN MUMBAI WE CAME TO KNOW THE HARSH REALITY THAT OUR NSG COMMANDOS AND POLICE FORCES ARE STILL USING THE OLD AGED AK-47 RIFLES….WHEN WE TALK ABOUT INDIA BECOMING A TECH-SAVY AND THE LARGEST GROWING IT USING COUNTRY…..DOESN’T THIS DEVELPOMENT APPLY TO THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTOR OF A COUNTRY,,,ITS ARMY FORCE,,,ITS PROTECTORS ON THE VERGE OF WHICH SECURITY OF ITS CITIZENS IS HINGING UPON?????????

STRANGE………..
AND NO DOUBT INDIA’S NAVY - THE MARINE ARMY IS TOUCHING THE NEW HEIGHTS WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY BEING IMPORTED FROM RUSSIA THROUGH VARIOUS TREATIES..NO DOUBT ON THAT BUT STILL 26/11 HAPPENED AND TERRORISTS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN ENTERING THE INDIAN BORDERS THROUGHT THE COASTLINE OF INDIA.

BUT THE FACT THAT LIES ABOVE ALL IS INDIAN ARMY IS ONE OF THE BEST ARMIES IN THE WORLD AND DUE TO THEM WE ARE SAFE AND SOUND IN OUR COUNTRY. IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE FURTHER THREATS IN FUTURE IT IS REFORMING CONSISTENTLY…THE KIND OF PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMITMENT THEY HAVE….THEY TRUELY KNOW THE MEANING OF PATRIOTISM AND NATION-BUILDING…….

WITH DUE RESPECT TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THOSE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR DEAR ONES

ABORT THE MINDSET….NOT THE GIRLS

Listen to the voice of an unborn girl :
“Today my existence in my mother’s womb was disclosed. How happy she and my father are. Maybe my parents are selecting a name for me.
Maybe they are deciding to get my room in pink with toys all around. But still they don’t know that I am a girl. My father is advising my mom to go for sonography in order to know whether I am a boy or a girl. If they will come to know that I am a girl, without giving a single thought they will kill me. But I do want to come into this
beautiful world, so
PLEASE DON’T KILL ME DAD,
PLEASE DON’T KILL ME MOM.
Yes, today my topic is “ABORT THE MINDSET, NOT THE GIRLS.”
The day Homo erectus became the Homo sapiens, yes the males, they should have found that they are physically stronger than the females. That day males must have gloated in triumph and they are still today, gloating! No doubt, man has come a long way, he has become civilized, but his instinct to dominate over the weaker sex has still remained intact. In fact, it has become an obsession, a need with time.
There is an old folk song which is sung in uttar Pradesh when a girl child is born into a family:
‘prabhuji mein tori binti karoon,
Paiyan paroon baar-baar,
Agle janam mohe bitiya na dije,
Narak dijiye chahe daar………..’

Which means

‘Oh god, I beg of you,
I touch your feet time and again
Next birth, please don’t give me a daughter
Give me a hell instead……..’

According to the latest survey reports of 2008 conducted by a private news channel (news x), sex ratio in the area of fategarh sahib has further dropped to just 300 females per thousand males which was earlier around 600+.

Despite the government’s attempts to ban the practice of female foeticide,the number of abortions done have increased. Still there are large numbers of women who go for abortions whether willingly or under the pressure of her family. Still there are large number of private clinics running recklessly making people shell out large amount of money for getting the abortions done. The main reason for female feticide is just the mindset of the people who think girls are not important, girls are burden. Boys are more important as they carry the so called family name, fame and business forward. No doubt technology has also played into the hands of devils and the widespread availability of ultrasound has made the doctors and the people more powerful.
People while thinking that boys are more important forget that they are the boys only who turn their old parents out of the house just for the sake of their wives. They forget that if this practice is not stopped now the day is not far when the whole human race will vanish from the face of the earth as it is ultimately the women who give birth to a boy or a girl.
As the world celebrates 11th July as the ‘WORLD POPULATION DAY’, we will helplessly observe girls ‘missing’ from the world’s second most populated country, INDIA. Ironically the theme that has been declared by the United Nations on this day is ‘EQUALITY EMPOWERS’. Well, now you should decide how far we are from this
goal? Is equality empowering in India also?
SORRY TO SAY BUT IT IS NOT SO.
Women are being sold by their own poor parents to land owners in Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and poorer areas of west Bengal and Bangladesh which shows ‘demand’ for women in these states due to the already existing shortage.
In the end I would like to write a few lines of the beautiful and mesmerizing poem ‘THE MISSING GIRLS’ written by ZOYA ZAIDI :

‘Where have all the ‘missing girls’ gone?
Gone! ‘gone, to the graveyard’.
For the ages the devils wondered
What to do? How to get rid off
This unwanted girl,
They used pillow on her face
To stifle the scream, the very first scream,
She could not even get to cry,
Suppressed was the very first cry.
Then the technology came, just a scan,
And then,forceps,suction pumps, a bit of crunch,
And the job is done.
In a minute or two, no evidence left behind
All is thrown into a dustbin
Who can say?
There was ever a ‘girl missing’……….
‘Where have all the ‘missing girls’gone?……
‘Where have all the ‘missing girls’gone?…..’

As it is said that a ‘pen is mightier than the sword’, I hope people will consider this effort of mine and they will welcome the birth of a baby girl as happily as the birth of a baby boy.

Climate change can kill ‘a quarter of million kids’ next year

A quarter of a million kids might lose their lives next year due to adverse effects of climate change, warns a charity.

Save the Children insists that figure could rise to more than 400,000 by 2030.

Its report ‘Feeling the Heat’ claims that climate change is the biggest global health threat to children in the 21st century.

Experts believe that almost 175 million children per year are likely to suffer the consequences of natural disasters like cyclones, droughts and floods by 2030.

They further say that more than 900 million children in the next generation will be affected by water shortages and 160 million more children will be at risk of catching malaria - one of the biggest killers of children under five - as it spreads to new parts of the world.

Ultravox star Midge Ure, a Save the Children ambassador, recently returned to Ethiopia 25 years after the 1984 famine, and created Band Aid with Bob Geldof.

“Climate change is no longer a distant, futuristic scenario, but an immediate threat,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“We’ve all heard about the East African food crisis but I’ve been in Ethiopia seeing first hand the impact it’s having on children’s lives.

“I’ve seen how vulnerable children are to the effects of climate change,” he added
