#OperationAmistad
Responding with speed, reach and compassion, two #IndianAirForce C-17 Globemaster III aircraft completed a demanding 23-hour flight to Venezuela, covering an aerial distance of over 14,000 km from Delhi to Caracas.
The aircraft landed at Maiquetía International Airport, Caracas, carrying 66 tonnes of humanitarian aid- including an Indian Army Field Hospital, over 35 tonnes of relief supplies, medicines and medical equipment, and two BHISHM Cubes—demonstrating India's capability to deliver hope across continents whenever called upon.
This transoceanic deployment reaffirms India's growing role as a responsible first responder and a reliable humanitarian partner.

She earned the uniform. ❤️
The first cap went to her father... but her little daughter's jealous reaction completely stole the moment. 🥹
This is the kind of video that restores faith in family. ❤️
Meet Lt Col Jyoti Mohan Sen (also recorded as Jyotindra Nath Sen) CO, 5 JAT Regiment.
In 1959, in Amritsar an event involving officers of the 5th JAT Regiment became a lasting lesson in leadership, unit honour and the protection of family dignity.
A group of army officers had gone to the railway station with their wives to see off a colleague. While there a gang of local rowdies began making obscene remarks and attempted to molest the officers’ wives. Outraged, the officers pursued the assailants as they fled into a nearby cinema and hid inside.
When Lt Col Sen was informed, he acted decisively. He ordered his men to surround the cinema and move in. Soldiers entered, dragged the troublemakers out and identified their leader reportedly the son of Pratap Singh Kairon then Chief Minister of Punjab. To punish the humiliation of the officers’ families and to make a public statement, the men were stripped to their undergarments paraded through the streets of Amritsar and subsequently taken into custody in the cantonment.
The incident provoked a major political storm. Chief Minister Kairon was furious and personally demanded his son’s release even attempting to enter the cantonment in a VIP car. The controversy escalated to Parliament where Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru sought an explanation from Army leadership.
General K. S. Thimayya - then the Army Chief answered with what has become a legendary retort: “If we cannot defend the honour of our women, how can you expect us to defend the honour of our country?” That blunt principled response effectively closed the argument. No punitive action was taken against Lt Col Sen or his battalion; on the contrary Thimayya later praised Sen’s courage and decisiveness.
It is still regarded in the Army today as an example of the Honor Code. @adgpi@PMOIndia@Hardisohi@jai_samota@san_x_m@Warrior_Mukul@major_pawan@SamarWatch #IndianArmy
1987. A room in New Delhi is thick with the smell of old files & cold tea. The United States has just delivered a stinging slap to the face of the Indian Republic. They have officially refused to sell India the 'Cray X-MP' Supercomputer, the most powerful machine on Earth, claiming that India would use it for nuclear weapons.
The American officials mockingly suggest that India does not even have the electricity to keep such a machine running. In the middle of this national humiliation, a young, soft-spoken engineer named Vijay Bhatkar is asked by then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi: "Can we build our own?" Bhatkar does not hesitate. He looks at the No of the West & says: "We will not just build it; we will build it faster than you can ship it."
The Americans did not just stop at refusing the sale; they actively lobbied other nations to ensure India remained digitally blind. They believed that w/o their Logic Gates, India would remain a 3rd world backwater.
Bhatkar realized he could not replicate the Single-Processor behemoth of the Cray. Instead, he turned to Parallel Processing. He decided to stitch together 1000s of low-cost, off-the-shelf microprocessors. It was like building a giant's brain out of the neurons of ants.
In 1991, while the West was still celebrating its monopoly, Bhatkar unveiled the PARAM 8000. It was not just a computer; it was a Gigaflop monster.
To prove the PARAM was real, Bhatkar ran a standard global benchmark test. The results were sent to an international conference in Zurich. The PARAM 8000 was ranked as the 2nd most powerful supercomputer in the world, behind only the American machines. But there was a twist: the PARAM cost a fraction of the Cray, performed better in tropical heat, & was built in just 3 years.
When the PARAM 8000 was 1st turned on, the team did not have a high-tech cooling system like the Americans. They used industrial-grade desert coolers & adjusted the airflow manually. It was the ultimate Jugaad that defeated the most sophisticated tech embargo in history.
A major US newspaper ran a story with the headline: "Denied supercomputer, Angry India does it!" The ghost of the Native Engineer had officially entered the silicon temple. Vijay Bhatkar’s history is the story of how India became the IT Capital of the world.
Bhatkar founded the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC). He did not just build a machine; he built an ecosystem. Every software engineer in India today stands on the shoulders of the man who proved we did not need the West's permission to compute. Bhatkar was the 1 who realized that if computers only spoke English, 90% of India would be left behind. He led the development of GIST (Graphics & Intelligence Based Script Technology), allowing computers to work in Indian languages. He gave the Machine a local tongue.
Today, Bhatkar is a Padma Bhushan awardee, but he lives a life of deep spirituality & simplicity. He vanished from the corporate headlines to become a philosopher of the digital age.
The West thought they could freeze India’s future by withholding a single machine. They forgot that the Indian mind does not need a 'Cray' to think; it only needs a 'No' to ignite. Forget building a supercomputer; Bhatkar built a mirror, & for the 1st time, the West had to look into it & see that the primitive colony had become the master of the code.
We have the finest collection of leaders anywhere in the world within the Indian Defence Forces, and we need to find ways to fully unleash them - within and outside of uniform. Critical for Viksit Bharat. @adgpi@indiannavy@narendramodi@IAF_INDIA@IndiannavyMedia
Being Alpha is more than just being big or aggressive. It is about mastering your ability to fully be yourself and unlocking the power of every cell within you.

Witnessing firsthand the respect/tribute paid by Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to Mr Kasturirangan, former ISRO Chairman and Chairman of National Education Policy. We are privileged to have two former ISRO Chairmen staying in our apartment complex.
Glad to meet Padma Vibhushan Dr. K Kasturirangan ji today morning in Bengaluru. A statesman and a lighthouse of wisdom, Dr. Kasturirangan’s company is always enlightening.
Had enriching conversations around NEP and its implementation, emerging trends in the learning landscape and ways to accelerate Bharat’s transformation into a vibrant 21st century knowledge society. Grateful to him for his affection, blessings, insights and guidance.
On 24th Anniversary of commissioning, the serving & veteran offrs of 106 Reg & 89 Tech Courses paid homage to #FallenHeroes at #NationalWarMemorial. Honouring the supreme #sacrifice of #fallen brothers-in-arms, floral tribute were also paid at #TyagChakra Walls.
What I love in Shashi Tharoor is his objectivity. Ability to see and appreciate what is good and at the same time call out what needs to be improved. Would love to see such maturity at the helm of leadership across all parties.

It appears that Ajit Pawar and this broken NCP will demand BJP seats in General elections and thereafter rejoin main NCP after getting MPs elected (Sharad's strategy). BJP may benefit to fight alone in Maharashtra (without breakaway Shiv Sena and NCP).

It's like you're a character in this book that everyone around you is writing, and suddenly you have to say, 'I'm sorry, but this role isn't right for me'. And you have to start writing your own life and doing your own thing. 😂🤣
