Bernard Brodie on the importance of studying military history: “...the only empirical data we have about how people conduct war and behave under stress is our experience with the past.” One should not neglect the professional value of history.

Very sad to learn about the sudden demise of Col Sonam Wangchuk, MVC, who breathed his last early morning today due to a heart attack. My deepest homage to the brave soldier ! Col Wangchuk, a recipient of the Maha Vir Chakra, was a true hero of the Kargil War. His dedication, bravery, selfless service will be remembered forever. May his Soul Rest in peace !!🙏🙏

डायरी गाँव (पिओरा), अल्मोड़ा के ललित जी से मिलिए। वे उन गिने-चुने आख़िरी कारीगरों में से हैं जो आज भी लकड़ी पर हाथ से पारंपरिक उत्तराखंडी डिज़ाइन तराशते हैं। उन्होंने यह दुर्लभ कला स्वर्गीय गंगाराम जी से सीखी। आज ललित जी पूरी लगन और सटीकता से इस विरासत को आगे बढ़ा रहे हैं। पुराने डिज़ाइन दोबारा बनाना हो या नए बॉर्डर गढ़ने हों,वे सक्षम हैं। मशीनों के इस दौर में काम मिलना थोड़ा मुश्किल हो गया है। लेकिन अगर लगातार काम मिले तो कला भी बची रहेगी और नियमित आय से घर भी चल सकेगा। ललित जी बताते हैं कि अब तक किसी भी सरकारी योजना या नीति से उनकी इस पारंपरिक हस्तशिल्प कला को कोई वास्तविक लाभ नहीं मिला है। एक छोटे से शेड में रोज़ मेहनत कर वे इस कला को जीवित रखे हुए हैं। आपका सहयोग उनके परिवार और इस लुप्त होती पहाड़ी कला दोनों के लिए सहारा है। आइए, अपने पहाड़ी पारंपरिक कारीगर को ज़्यादा काम देकर उसका साथ दें।

Chaklala is now called Nur Khan, 10 kms from Islamabad. In Op Sindoor, the IAF hit a C-130 here. 53 years earlier, Adm Arun Prakash did the same. The difference: while the IAF launched missiles from the safety of our airspace, Prakash flew there to hand deliver the message.
Insane that a man who hammered the daylights out of the Pak Air Force in a ground attack mission on Chaklala in '71 where he blew up the personal aircraft of the legendary Gen Chuck Yaeger (then advisor to Pak) is today asked to prove his identity in order to vote.
