In June 2016, INS Vikramaditya reportedly suffered an accident during a scheduled major overhaul at the Karwar naval base. A seafarer and a civilian employee died due to a toxic gas leak during maintenance work in the Sewage Treatment Plant compartment of the warship.
In subsequent years, the warship underwent major re-hauling. However, after years of wear and tear, INS Vikrant served as a museum after decommissioning in 1997 and was visited by thousands of curious people, especially youth and students, as it remain anchored off Mumbai Harbour.

Finally, there was another round of ‘water quenching’ before the DMR 249 Grade-B plates achieved their unique “Everythingqualities.seemed to be going well till a batch of DMR 249 Grade-B plates developed internal stress six months after delivery.

And, in 2004, a very important naval agreement was signed between longtime military allies India and Russia to make the aircraft carrier a part of the Indian Navy.
“When India went in search of steel for the IAC, there were no sellers. There could be several reasons for this. One of these could be that nobody could supply that huge quantity. It could also be that nobody wanted to sell steel to India for an aircraft carrier as foreign powers wanted us to keep up importing such specialised vessels. Our first two aircraft carriers were second hand ones after all. On realising that the steel could not be imported, Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL) came up with specifications. Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) Ltd, Ranchi, succeeded in manufacturing some ingots but mass production was required. Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) took up this challenge,” a source revealed.

In hard core areas of security, ‘human intelligence’ remains the most prized source of information but now there is so much of enlargement of the collectivity of ‘open sources’ that a much bigger part of the Intelligence effort pres ently is to be devoted to garnering crucial information from the same. Further, a corollary of the growing importance of local Intelligence is that it would greatly help the cause of national security if the citizens are fully informed of the nature of threats facing the nation and made aware of their own contribution to security by way of sharing infor mation of relevance coming their way, with the concerned authority. Homeland Security in the US has made arrangements for receiving information from the enlightened citizens, pertaining to national security.

The post-Cold War era apparently marked a shift from open warfare to ‘asymmetric wars’ -- India came at the receiving end of the Paksponsored ‘proxy war’ which relied on cross border terrorism and used Islamic militants as its instrument. This became the biggest security threat to this country not only in Kashmir but elsewhere too. Success of the anti-Soviet armed campaign in Afghanistan led by Pakistan, the ‘front line ally’ of the US, on the war cry of Jehad that was endorsed by the West, encouraged Pakistan’s ISI to try to replicate the Afghan Jehad in Kashmir and draft Islamic radicals of Taliban in the covert offensive from across PoK, way back in Cross-border1993.

As promised earlier Gilgit-Baltistan has not been made a stake holder in CPEC. The 1.8 million jobs promised to be generated by CPEC for PoGB never materialised and China sent thousands of its own workers instead to work on CPEC projects in the region.
As the Great-Game enters a new era with Chinese imperialist expansion and India taking her place as world’s fifth largest economy the old strat egy of using commerce to conquer has come alive again.
In the final analysis, India has to de pend on its own military, economic and diplomatic strategy to deal with China on land and in the Indian Ocean. A highly successful security initiative taken by our NSA was to firm up the outreach to Russia and Central Asian Republics to balance out against Pakistan in Afghanistan and also keep China in check.

Kashmir remains a major challenge for our intelligence set up but the direct rule of the Centre - conse quent on the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution by the Indian Parliament and conversion of Kashmir into a Union Territory - has enabled India to step up development work and take to more effective methods of countering cross-border terrorism.
Non-traditional aspects of national security coming to the fore - eco nomic relations, technological advances in communication, cyber warfare, injection of religion in international politics and demo graphic shifts - are demanding new bench marks in inter-agency cooperation, analysis and assess ment and coordinated responses.
By putting Indo-Pak relations in a Hindu-Muslim framework and invoking Islam to justify the ‘proxy war’ in Kashmir, Pakistan has enlarged its mischief potential of fishing in India’s domestic scene by seeking to push communal militan cy towards Islamic terror.

Moreover, low demand, low global prices, the muted effects of higher minimum support prices (MSP), low global prices, and unfavorable monsoon conditions, including droughts and other weath er conditions were driving factors in the past. Currently, Geopolitical reasons, Covid Impact, short supply chains, the Russia Ukraine War, labor costs, and the rise in oil prices have contributed to the inflation.” says entrepreneur and Chef Sachin Sahgal, Co-Founder of Meatington.

And now, the war between Ukraine and Russia has caused an enormous increase in oil prices, the price of gasoline and diesel, as well as an increase in the price of cooking oils like sunflower oil, soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil, are the main causes of inflation. Other factors driving inflation include supply chain disruptions.

Nitish Kumar is backed by his fellow political commanders such as JD-U national president Lalan Singh, state ministers Ashok Chaudhary, Vijay Chaudhary, among others, who always say that he has all the abilities to be the next Prime Minister, but he is not in the race,” said Rajnish Singh, a Bihar-based political expert.
By Ajay Kumar Patna, Sep 10 (IANS) After the threeday visit of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar to Delhi, his alliance partner in Bihar, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) believes that he is the most suitable leader for the Prime Minister’s post.
Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Benerjee is a possible challenger to the Narendra Modi government but her acceptance in the Hindi heart land is a million dollar question.
As far as the RJD is concerned, it has been out of power for 15 years in Bihar. Moreover the party’s national president Lalu Prasad may not have national ambitions as he is ill and suffering from multiple diseases.
His father and a big socialist face Mulayam Singh Yadav is also ill and
The BJP in the recent past had successfully toppled governments in the states of Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra to assume power. But in Bihar, it was Nitish Kumar who severed ties with the BJP and forged an alliance with the RJD, Congress and Left parties to form a Mahagathbandhan govern ment, much to the dismay of the saffron camp.

A few days back Rahul Gandhi said, “The BJP has an opinion. RSS has an opinion but, in the Congress Party, this is a journey, this is an attempt at understanding what is going on on the ground in India and an attempt at undoing some of the damage that the BJP and the RSS have done.”

By Ajay Kumar Patna, Sep 11 (IANS) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s recent three-day visit to Delhi to unite the opposition parties to contest against the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections seems to have had a deep impact on the saffron brigade.
He had also suggested that the opposition leaders should adopt the poll strategy of the BJP to defeat the TheBJP.
Nitish Kumar officially denied any prime ministerial ambition, but the political commentators feel that the target is PM’s chair. However, the biggest obstacle is the Congress, which is maintaining that being the biggest political formation it’s going to the fulcrum of any alliance.

actual idea is to take poll ben efits in crunch situations. The BJP has an advantage of double engine government on this count in states where it is in power.
New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) The 3,570km Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra that will pass through 12 states and two union territories, could be a game changer for the Congress, which is in search of an electoral success to revive itself after being confined to two states -- Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
The Congress leaders allege that the BJP is spreading canard as it has sensed that it can’t counter the Congress on the issue of inflation and Soniaunemployment.Gandhitooishopeful about the Congress getting back after this yatra. On the launch day, she said, “This is a landmark occasion for our great party with such a glorious legacy-the Indian National Congress.
After severing ties with the BJP, JD-U’s Lalan Singh had said that the BJP has 16 Lok Sabha MPs in Bihar, 17 MPs in West Bengal and 11 MPs in IfJharkhand.NitishKumar and Tejashwi Yadav manage to reduce the BJP to zero in Bihar, and the same is achieved by Mamata Benerjee in West Bengal and Hemant Soren in Jharkhand, the BJP would automatically come down below the majority mark of 272 in the Lok Sabha, which is possible, Lalan Singh had said.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Yadav is out of power. Hence, he is trying to consol idate his position in the state rather than thinking of national politics.
Rahul Gandhi said they are not fight ing a political party anymore, they used to fight a political party and “now, the fight is not between one political party and another political party. Now the fight is between the structure of the Indian state and the Opposition and everybody under stands this. Now, this is not an easy fight. This is a difficult fight.”
The yatra, which is passing through Kerala, is getting good support and the Congress workers are enthusiastic about it. The Congress leaders say the BJP is rattled as it is attacking the yatra.
Now, the question is whether Nitish Kumar is dreaming of being the main challenger to Narendra Modi in the next general elections.
“We were also a part of the UPA government. We don’t have any such issue with the Congress,” he said.
Hence, statements were issued by Sushil Kumar Modi, Giriraj Singh, Sanjay Jaiswal, Vijay Kumar Sinha, Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Tarkishore Prasad, among others, against Nitish Kumar.
Reacting to Sushil Modi, Lalan Singh said: “No one gets humiliation better than what you are undergoing. Despite all your efforts and state ments against Nitish Kumar and JD-U, your party has not given any post to you. Still, our good wishes are with you.”
not in a position to contest elections.
For the Congress, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are doing national politics and hence leaders like Ashok Gehlot and Raman Singh are not in the race. For leaders like KCR, MK Stalin and Sharad Power, it would not be easy to challenge Narendra Modi who is a very good speaker in “ChallengingHindi.Narendra Modi in his own style would be one of the key aspects for the opposition parties where Nitish Kumar is far more experienced than anyone else. He is also a supporter of RJD and it means its 79 MLAs and 12 MLCs are also favouring Nitish Kumar who is having 45 MLAs in Bihar and 17 Lok Sabha MPs,” said a RJD leader requested not to be named.

Mritunjay Tiwari, the national spokesperson of the RJD, said: “Nitish Kumar of the JD(U) has the longest parliamentary life than any other leader.

The Edelweiss flower is the perfect example of the adage, “You don’t need to be big to be strong.” With its excellent ability to protect itself from the sun’s harmful UV rays, antioxi dant, and antimicrobial properties, it’s no wonder that it’s the beauty industry’s best-kept secret. The flower produces its own antioxidant and DNA-protecting agent called leontopodic acid that allows it to protect itself from harsh environ mental conditions and thrive in the rugged mountainside. With greater antioxidants than alpha-tocopherol, a form of Vitamin E present in green, leafy vegetables and nuts, the Edelweiss protects the skin’s barrier from pollutants and helps delay aging, and prevents wrinkles.

The typical Vata hair type is porous, thin, and straight. Your scalp and hair get dry when the Vata dosha in your body is elevated because your body produces less sebum as a result. This results in split ends, frizzy, dry hair, and hair loss.
Hair oils replenish the follicles and scalp while also aiding in moisture retention. Always fully oil your hair before washing it, and make this a part of your hair care regimen. You can use a herbal hair oil that

Continue reading to learn why and how she views Yoga and Meditation as an addition to the Kathak Dance discipline.
How does kathak yoga transform the practitioner’s mental and spiritual wellness if it is included into daily sadhana?
Paramita: The daily practice of Kathak takes us through all eight stages of Yoga namely Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharna, Dhyan, and Samadhi. In Kathak, almost the en tire gamut of asanas are performed. Finally, we reach a stage when we start hearing music within ourselves and get completely oblivious to our surroundings, then when we are on way to reaching the seventh and eighth stages, comes a complete meditation stage.
Paramita: There is no difference since Kathak belongs to the ancient classical dance forms with inexplicable movements and Yoga, on the other hand, is also an ancient meditation practice. The combi nation of the two practices results in Kathak Yoga, a perfect union of mind and body. Each cell and nerve of the body is engaged during this form. Performing Kathak Yoga also involves a lot of breathing patterns, similar to meditation.

The Trust also finalised its rules and regulations in the meeting that was presided over by Nripendra Misra, chairman of the Ram temple construction committee.
Idols of several other deities of the Ramayan era will also come up at the Ram temple.
“Rules and regulations of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust have been finalised. We have been working on it for the past several months,” Champat Rai said.
The Trust has also decided to use white marble in construction of the idol of Lord Ram.

The construction of the temple is expected to be completed by December 2023 and Lord Ram is expected to be seated in the sanctum sanctorum by the Makar Sankranti festival in January 2024, Rai said. He also said 14 of the 15 trust mem bers attended the meeting.
All this clearly points to different versions being amalgamated into the Puranic writings. Even the well known story of Narasimha killing Hiranyakashapu has different continuations. Clearly, the Shaivites wanted to show the superiority of Shiva over Vishnu while it is likely that the Vaishnavites ignored the role of Shiva as they did not acknowl edge his powers. One way to reconcile this in a non-sectarian way is to treat Shiva and Vishnu as the manifestations of a divine

In one of them Sharabha’s embraces Narasimha which helps Narasimha realise the potential problem of his ferocious nature. As a mark of respect to Shiva, Narasimha removed the skin of lion from his body and presented to Sharabha. Thus Sharabha is often shown wearing the skin of a lion. In another version, Sharabha lifted Narasimha who realised what was happening and cooled down and asked Sharabha to forgive him. Narasimha accepts that he should have become calm after killing Hiranyakashapu. Some versions do not have Gandhabherunda as the Gods pray directly to Sharabha to give up his current form.

He said that when he launched the initiative in 2010, the idea was to provide a green campus for the 2000 odd students in the college.
He said this after a meeting of the trust on Sunday evening.
There are many temples for Sharabha (called Sharabeshwara) in South India. Each temple has a special story associated with it. For instance, one temple is said to be located at the spot where Brahma worshipped Sharabha. Another temple at Tribhuvanam, in Tanjavur has Sharabha
Shiva is said to have manifested in the form of Sharabha to over power Narasimha. Narasimha, the half-lion half-man incarnation of Vishnu, took on a ferocious form to kill the demon Hiranyakashapu. After killing Hiranyakashapu, Narasimha drank Hiranyakashapu’s blood and made a garland out of the body to get rid of every trace of Hiranyakashapu. This act made Narasimha even more fierce. Narasimha continued to roar loudly and terrify the people around him. People were worried about this and were wondering how to pacify the agitated Narasimha and transform him to the calm Vishnu.

power. As Shiva states, in the Shiva Purana, that to get rid of Hiranyakashapu, Narasimha came to earth and to appease Narasimha, Shiva came as Sharabeshwara. But both Shiva and Vishnu are not different. The stories about Sharabha and Narasimha are more about the potential collateral damage that even the Gods can cause. When the Gods descend on earth to kill someone, their anger persists even after the intended person has been killed. This is to illus trate how killing only inflames existing anger.

Other temple-based depictions show Sharabha with the face of yaali (the lion creature) with the body of a bird with Narasimha between his wings. Just like a mother bird calms its chicks with its wings, Narasimha is calmed by Sharabha’s wings. This Shaivite version is not mentioned in Vaishnavite texts like the Bhagavata Purana. The Vaishnavite texts state that it was Prahalad and Lakshmi who pacified Narasimha’s anger. Thus they do not mention Sharabha or Gandhabherunda. However, the Atharva Veda has a section which describes Shiva’s fierce manifestation as Sharabha and how Sharabha killed Narasimha. Some scholar also suggest that Suparna, the bird with the golden wings that is mentioned in the Rig Vega, is ThereGandhabherunda.actuallyaremanyvariations

In this temple there is a special shrine where the idol of Sharabha has the face of a lion, nose of an eagle, body of a human, two huge wings, eight legs, four arms, fingers with sharp nails, and holding Sri Narasimha firmly with his front legs. Here Narasimha has not yet been subdued and is shown to be fighting to free himself from Sharabha’s grip. Other fierce forms of Sharabha are found, not as the main idol but as guarding the entrance to temples.

areas. The Mahabharata states that Sharabha was a monster with eight legs that could slay lions. In some writings he is said to be a blend of human, animal and bird with many hands, legs, wings, claws, talons, and with a massively long tail. In some depictions Sharabha uses his sharp long teeth as his weapons. Sharabha’s voice is said to be like thunder (perhaps related to Rudra) but Sharabha also has the ability to produce hissing sounds like snakes. Sharabha is also described as a bird with two wings, two eyes, four lion-like legs, four bird-like legs with claws facing upwards. Later descriptions show Sharabha as a lion with the head of an elephant. It is likely that, initially, Sharabha was not identified with Shiva. But sometime later, he became an Avatara of Shiva.

Father Roy Vadakkan said that most of the students on the campus are from cities and towns and greenery is a luxury for most of them.

They approached Shiva to help them. At first Shiva took the form of Veerabhadra and approached Narasimha to pacify him. But Narasimha ignored Veerabhadra which prompted Shiva to become Sharabha. Sharabha was a part-lion and part-bird with eight legs. Sharabha was more powerful than a lion and an elephant combined. Sharabha, being part-bird, also possessed the ability to jump long distanc es. Sharabha cut off Narasimha’s head and added it to the existing garland of skulls he was wearing. This transformed Sharabha to an even more angry beast.

What is happening recently is that rather than have fun watching a film at the cinemas, people, the netizens, are having fun at the cost of films and filmmakers. They are being trolled mercilessly.

What’s worrisome is that these films are being rejected wholesale, not even being given the privilege of the initial audience that used to throng the cinemas for any film with big stars.
