It's a Male dominated Society and he suppression of women by the man dates back to centuries. And, despite our tall claims that Women are coming of age and fighting against male domination may be true to some extent. But the quantum of such cases are almost insignificant. Much has to be done in this direction.

Siachen is the world's highest active Battle field contested by India and Pakistan since 1984 when India launched Operation Meghdoot. Since the start of operation India lost 33 officers, 54 JCOs and 78 Jawans.. These statistics show that deaths due to Avalanchis are just a part of the The Job.

One must remember that all the items quoted above are "Imported" and any time the spares are stopped, the machines become redundant !!. I talk as a professional pilot. This is not the way to be a world power. It has happened earlier. More on that later
True..otherwise we would be facing another MIG 21 crisis with other planes and helicopters. What is needed is our own technology and everything that can manufactured, maintained and repaired in India, using Indian spare parts. What do you feel would happen if India were to acquire the Raphael fighter planes from France? Would the same thing be repeated?

somebody has to bell the cat. Who will do it. They say history finds the man, but in India we are waiting for 7 decades. I do feel that this caste system should be addressed by the UNO like apartheid.
Apartheid was completely wiped away despite UNO's initiative ? Like Apartheid, Caste based reservations continue in India. This is true.

The issue of empowerment of women in India is obviously central to our overall progress as a nation which unfortunately has been held hostage by our male-dominated society as well as a section of our women. The bill for reservation of seats in Parliament has been rotting for years! In West Bengal crimes against women are alarmingly high though a woman heads it. When a college girl was brutally raped and murdered by a gang of which triggered off a protest movement led by two intrepid local women she summarily dubbed them as 'maoist'! If a woman that too the highest state functionary was capable of such gross insensitivity to the cause of a woman ,I don't know how many light years we are away from the goal of women empowerment and emancipation!!

I have watched it . I have seen The Naval Chief explaining PM Modi that all the things which were displayed were made in India. Becoming a world power cannot be achieved overnight. When Indian navy could become 90 % self reliant, achieving 100% self reliance in its Arms production is not far away.
