Are We Doing Enough to Stop Cross-Border Terrorism?

This 15 Jan, India observed its 70th Armed Forces Day (Army Day). The Indian Army is the third biggest military contingent in the world. It was formed in 1776 and since then it was brought laurels to the nation.
Army Day is celebrated annually to mark the take over of General K M Cariappa as Commander of Chief of India on 15 Jan, 1949.

Since then India has won many wars but there is still one fire, one war that started but never ended, a conflict between two world's most powerful nations, the nations that were once one - India and Pakistan. There have been regular violations and cease fires from Pakistan in India over the past 2 years which have tested our patience.

 The question arises is that are we doing enough to stop or prevent these cross border terrorism or not ?
  1. It is estimated that there were about 770 cross border violations and militant attacks around the Line of Control (LOC), to which Indian Army has given an equal response. But such cease fires have resulted in the loss of many lives of the Indian Jawans.
  2. The Indian Army has decided to strengthen its forces and tighten its grip over India-Pakistan border to keep an eye on any movement or suspected terrorist attack.
  3. The Centre has decided to deploy a number of observation posts around the border fences in order to monitor suspicious activities.
  4. The government has installed a number of modern technology high tech equipment around the coastal region to improve coastal security. Such measures were taken since the attacks of 26/11 in Mumbai.

  5. The Centre has established many central intelligence offices around the country to take an eye of any armed/unarmed insurgency against the government.
  6. The governement has issued round the clock surveillance and border patrolling at both land and sea.
  7. India is making number of attempts to have a peace talk with Pakistan in order to eliminate their differences and maintain law and order.

Its been more than 70 years since India and Pakistan divided and they have yet failed to keep their differences apart and move on. The people on both the sides need only one thing that is Peace and Harmony.

Army day is also celebrated to pay homage and to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect the dignity of our nation. The army day begins with paying tribute at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate followed by a parade.

JAI HIND!

Truth Behind Some Common Superstitions In India

MYTH AND MYTHOLOGY Have you ever been pointed out by your parents or elders over cutting nails inside the house at night? If yes have you ever wondered why they tell so? What is the reason behind it and should we really need to stop cutting nails at night? Let’s find out as I explain the truth behind some myths and superstitions prevailing in India. Cutting Nails at Night As I already discussed about it earlier, so why is this still said not to cut nails at night. This myth belongs to that times when we used lamps or candles to lighten up our house at night and at that time we didn’t have nail cutters to cut our nails. Sharp objects like blades/knives or stones were used to cut. Such sharp objects can cause serious injuries if used in low visibility such at night, therefore it was advised not to cut at night. And what about doing it inside the house? The cut nails can prick into someone’s foot and can cause pain. Offering prayers to some plants In India we conside...

Saving the Unreserved - Reservation System

The joint entrance examination committee recently announced the jee main scores and ranks along with the announcement of JEE advance Cutoff marks. With a lot anticipation among children to get admissions in the top institutes, this year’s cut off was pretty low as compared to last year’s. While the general’s cut off dropped to 81 from 100 last year’s while it dropped to 49 from 70 ,and 32 from 52, and 27 from 48 for Scheduled Caste , Scheduled Tribe respectively. This year’s cut off brought happiness to students and their parents due to low cutoff. But this maybe an indicating warning about the upcoming problem. Many general category students may have been in good or better colleges if there were no reservations. As these students are exposed to this reservation system so  some of them extensively rely on this in upcoming opportunities in life due to lack of skills. Like seats in the colleges are reserved, 50% of the government jobs are reserved as well. So...

Why India Struggles at Sports?

Why sports is still just an extra-curricular activity? Cricket is not just a game, it is a religion in the Indian Subcontinent. People of all age groups always wait eagerly for any Indian Cricket match. A lot of emotions are running through our minds as we see our team heading towards victory. Sports have always been an essential part of our lives, whether it be playing in childhood in the streets or watching them on our television sets. But why out of the 130+ crore population only 118 athletes qualified and participated in the 2016 Rio Olympics? This clearly indicates that sports is appreciated by all but not encouraged to all. A toddler is handed over many toys to play with for fun. Later in his/her age he/she is being taught to ride a bicycle and even introduced to other sports and games. But one thing never changed was that all sports he played during the day were just meant for fun and entertainment. As soon as parents realize that he had his enough time playing gam...
