The recent IFR is not just another Naval exercise. It has many unique features. The Indian Navy has achieved 90% indigenisation in its float component and of varying degrees in its other components In the new IFR, many of Indian navy's latest acquisitions like MIG 29 K , KM 31 AEW Helicopter were displayed. It has its own uniqueness

Hosting the International Fleet Review and executing it on such a grand scale is indeed a matter and pride for us all. However, we should not lose the ground reality because Indian Navy is facing so many serious problems in terms of enormous losses in terms of submarines, morale, budget cuts etc. However, I am sure that the things will soon change for the better and we will see improvements soon.

The fact How Reservation system eaten away the progress and development of this country since Independence is well known. Merit alone should be taken in to consideration for reservations, which is not possible in the present scenario of Vote Bank politics of the politicians.

Of course it is a gauntlet that has been dragging down growth and making the general public disgruntled.The reservation system has not only been continued but also enhanced with more categories being added and politicians perpetually looking for favors because of this. The day caste system gets eradicated I am sure we can see positive growth and stability

usha manohar liked the topic Reservations on Caste.
Reservations for jobs and education is perpetuated for ever by the politicians. The sad part is they are based on caste, which is the anchor around the neck of the Indian state. The Indian constitution as famed by Dr. Ambedkar had initially envisaged reservation only for 15 years , but they have been extended, time and again by the politicians for who this is a vote bank.
Caste based reservations are harmful as they do away with meritocracy and sub standard persons do get into vital sectors. this in the long run will harm india.

I guess we need not go overboard like it happened when Modi and Sharief met and we all by now know what followed after that and the ground realities now ! Just a naval exercise does not mean anything much unless it is taken further ..

@rambabu, the consecutive posts rule is no more existing but we still follow it as sign of good ethics. Once in a while is okay but not on regular basis. Otherwise also the points system is gone so it makes not much of a difference apart from just one purpose.
Sunil, I did not get that , can you please clarify ? No more points system ?

This is a new chapter in the Indian Naval History. Why China and other major Countries took part in the Naval exercises ? This itself is an evidence that Indian Navy has emerged as a new force to reckon with

These naval reviews are good and needed, but the real facts about the navy like the other services is not happy. The Navy does not have capability to operate outside Indian coast. Compared to the great Navy's of the world like the USA and our rival China, we lag behind.
The maintenance record of the navy is poor as over half a dozen ships and submarines have been lost in accidents and fires due to poor maintenance during last 2 years. The Indian public must be made aware of these facts
