What's new

Indian Army News & Discussions

that disturbs doesn't it?
places of worship used to extend petty politics ambition just doesn't look right, irrespective of whether it happens at a temple or mosque. ultimately this becomes breeding ground for religious fanaticism.
Yes it is disturbing.
I discussed it with a friend who was posted in J&K. He asked me to get used to such news, because during many of the operations locals help the terrorists. He said men, women and at times even the kids have their role to play in misleading the soldiers. But the good news is, only in a part of Kashmir they face such issues.
Kashmir issue can not be solved without using an iron fist.
 
As soldiers fought terrorists, mosques nearby hailed mujahid - Times of India

@Abingdonboy @Pumba @anant_s
This is unfortunate. :tsk:
This must have been so demoralising for our soldiers.

Honestly, it hardly matters there in Kashmir now.
This is nothing new. Only difference is the media presence. Earlier these things were confined within the valley.

NEW DELHI (AP) " The U.S and India have reached a preliminary agreement that will make it easier for the two countries' militaries to work together in disasters or other emergencies, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Tuesday.

During a joint news conference with Indian Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar, Carter said the two countries have "agreed in principle" on the logistical agreement, and it could be finalized in weeks.

And he said the two countries expect to soon reach a second pact to improve the sharing of information on commercial shipping, in a move to beef up security on the seas.

U.S. defense officials said the first agreement will help the two militaries coordinate better, including in exercises, and also allow the U.S. to more easily sell fuel or provide spare parts to the Indians.

Carter said that while sharing logistical assets may seem like it should be automatic, it isn't.

Although some of that can be done now, through what officials called "workarounds," the agreement will help expedite such transactions.

While officials touted the signing as an important step, there was less progress on other programs the U.S. would like to partner with India on.

Those would include cooperation on the development of jet engines and aircraft carrier technologies.

Carter on Monday noted that India wants to move to a flat-deck design of its aircraft carriers, he said the U.S. is "more than willing" to share its catapult technology used to launch fighter jets off carriers.

Defense officials said that if India begins using the catapult technology, then there could be opportunities for India to buy U.S.-made FA-18 fighter jets or other aircraft that use that launching system.

Last June, during a visit to India, Carter and Parrikar signed a defense agreement, as part of a broader U.S. effort to improve what has been a rocky relationship between the two countries.

And he announced two $1 million joint research ventures. While small, defense officials say the two-year projects will set the groundwork for future collaboration.

At the time, Carter acknowledged the difficulties on both sides in breaking through the red tape to achieve more development cooperation, but said things are moving forward.

U.S. leaders have long hoped to partner more with India as it modernizes its military, but Indian leaders have been more interested in co-development opportunities than in simply buying American-made weapons.

India has also been courting a strong business relationship with China. Beijing sees India as a market for its increasingly high-tech goods, from high-speed trains to nuclear power plants, while India wants to attract Chinese investment in manufacturing and infrastructure..............See more

Hard to believe that the army bunkers in Handwara were removed while BJP was in power. The pusllianimous attitude of Modi's govt is appalling.

Still think there is a plan @Levina ?

Politics.

BJP has compromised on several issues just to gain a foothold in the state politics of J&K.
Yes it's poltics but it is politics for the benefit of the BJP- these clowns simply see politics as a game, they don't care about the implications they are simply after power for the sake of power. The real losers are the people of India-again.

This is atrocious!!!
Why should army bear the brunt???
Shocked!!!
What next? Kargil?
The military (all security forces really) is the easiest target there is- they have no poltical base, no supporters who will create outrage if they are detrimentaly affected. When a soldier is killed in JK or a CRPF policeman in Chhattisgarh there may be some facebook posts or 10 seconds on the news but then it is over. You won't see Indians in the streets demanding answers, you won't see a debate in parliament, you won't see bleeding hearts in JNU batting an eyelid. For how long has the MiG-21 been in service killing the very brightest India has to offer? When you have this kind of apathy within a society you get softer and softer, more fool to those who forget exactly who are keeping the barbarians at bay.
 
there is a plan @Levina
I feel cheated.
All this while I believed that there was a higher purpose to the (impetuous) actions of our govt. It's so hard to believe that despite having the best in business, they have failed miserably.
Modi, we deserved better than this.

Hard to believe that the central govt and J&K govt are partners in crime, not that I expected anything better from the separatists supporting Muftis and opportunists- Abdullahs.
I am not sure as to what was the motivation behind such an action, but if BJP believes this will fetch them another term in the center then it's high time somebody reminded them that "quality is always preferred over quantity".
