Great Patriotic Poem.

आरंभ है प्रचंड बोले मस्तको के झुंड ,
आज़ जंग कि घडी कि तुम गुहार दो .
आन बाण शान या कि जान का हो दान ,
आज एक धनुष के बाण पे उतार दो .
मन करे सो प्राण दे मन करे सो प्राण ले ,
वही तो एक सर्वशक्तिमान है .
क्रिष्ण कि पुकार है ये भागवत का सार है ,
कि युध हि तो वीर का प्रमाण है .
कौरवोका कि भीड हो या पांडवो का नीड हो ,
जो लड सका वोही तो महान है .

In memory of fallen Heroes of Army...

Very Touching Must read Poem by Lt Col.Gautam Rajrishi..
in memory of fallen Heroes...
Jai Hind

चीड़ के जंगल खड़े थे देखते लाचार से
गोलियाँ चलती रहीं इस पार से उस पार से


मिट गया इक नौजवां कल फिर वतन के वास्ते
चीख तक उट्ठी नहीं इक भी किसी अखबार से

कितने दिन बीते कि हूँ मुस्तैद सरहद पर इधर
बाट जोहे है उधर माँ पिछले ही त्योहार से

अब शहीदों की चिताओं पर न मेले लगते हैं
है कहाँ फुरसत जरा भी लोगों को घर-बार से

मुट्ठियाँ भीचे हुये कितने दशक बीतेंगे और
क्या सुलझता है कोई मुद्दा कभी हथियार से

मुर्तियाँ बन रह गये वो चौक पर चौराहे पर
खींच लाये थे जो किश्ती मुल्क की मझधार से

बैठता हूँ जब भी "गौतम’ दुश्मनों की घात में
रात भर आवाज देता है कोई उस पार से

-ले० कर्नल गौतम राजरिशी

Great work Sir
-Vinnie!

Story of a dog who served Indian Army till death

The Dog's name was Rex.

Rex was a recipient of GOC-in-C Commendation Card for his outstanding & exemplary performance against militants.

The 9A 92 Rex, a golden Labrador was born on 25 February 1993 at RVC Centre & School Meerut. After a year's training, he was posted to 14 Army Dog Unit under Delta Force and assigned the areas adjoining the town of Bhaderwah, to help troops in trailing & tracking militants.

In March 1995, operating with troops of 25 RR in jungles of Badrot, South of Bhaderwah, he tracked a militant injured in an encounter for over 3 km in the thick of militant fire. In a chase that lasted for over four hours, he managed to recover one AK 56 rifles and an haversack containing 92 rounds.

In April 1998, out on a patrol in area Gulgandhar, security forces killed two dreaded militants and badly injured one, who managed to escape. Picking up the scent of his blood, 'Rex' went hot on the trail and moved speedily & stealthily over strenuous undulating mountains. After tracking over 2 km, he succeeded in tracing out the body of the militant in a hideout where he had succumbed to his injuries. Let out on yet another 'trial' with the QRT of CO 25 RR in Daraba near Rajouri, Rex suffered an unfortunate fall and sustained serious intestinal injuries.

He was evacuated to the nearest Army Veterinary Hospital where he developed acute gastroentrities and finally succumbed on 22 September 1999.

DID HE DESERVE MORE ?

The British Army's Gurkhas are, without doubt, the bravest and most fearsome soldiers on the planet.

This has been proved again with one Gurkha fighting off a dozen Taliban in Afghanistan with a Rambo-style hail of fire.

Sergeant Dipprasad Pun hoisted a giant machine gun - weighing 30lb - off its mount and held it as he blazed away at them, killing three and wounding several others.

A source said: "It would have taken a superhuman effort to hold the gun and fire it. Apart from its weight, the recoil is colossal."

The Gurkhas, Britain's greatest allies, are Nepalese and have been fighting in the British Army since 1817. They are famous for their traditional Nepalese kukri knives, lethal weapons with curved blades that every Gurkha in the British Army is issued with and trained in their use. They are used as close combat weapons. According to legend, a Gurkha "never sheathes his blade without first drawing blood."

Over the years they have won 26 Victoria Crosses.

There are currently around 4,000 of them serving in the British Army.

Rambo-style Gurkha in solo Taliban blitz

Heroic ... Sgt Dipprasad Pun beat off attackers

A LONE Gurkha has fought off the Taliban in a Rambo-style hail of fire.

Heroic Sergeant Dipprasad Pun HOISTED a giant machine gun off its mount and HELD it as he blazed away at a dozen attackers.


Firepower ... Sgt Dip held 30lb gun and let fly 750 rounds a minute

He is believed to have killed three and wounded several others with the gun - weighing well over 30lb and hammering out 750 rounds a minute.

A source said: "It would have taken a superhuman effort to hold the gun and fire it. Apart from its weight, the recoil is colossal."


Firefight ... he held off a dozen Taliban from rooftop, killing at least 3

The 15-minute stand came after Sgt Dip, 31, was left at a checkpoint in Nahr-e Saraj, Helmand.

Spotting a Taliban attack, he ran on to a roof to man a 7.62mm general purpose machine gun mounted on a tripod.

As the insurgents came over the wall Sgt Dip realised he could not lower the gun enough to hit them. So he yanked out the pins locking it down - CHUCKING the heavy tripod at the enemy - and lifted it up.

There are around 4,000 Gurkhas in the British Army in six units. There are the the Royal Gurkha Rifles (two battalions), The Queen's Gurkha Engineers, Queen's Gurkha Signals, and The Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment. In addition there are two independent companies - Gurkha Company (Sittang) at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Gurkha Company (Mandalay) at the Infantry Battle School, Brecon. Together these make up the Brigade of Gurkhas.

He also beat off the attackers with grenades and an SA80 rifle before reinforcements arrived.

Sgt Dip, of 1st Battalion the Royal Gurkha Rifles, would not speak about the September 17 battle. And it is too early to speculate if he will win a medal as citations have not been written. But Army spokesman Lt Col David Eastman said: "He is a credit to his unit."

Heroes' proud medal history

THE Gurkhas have a distinguished history of Victoria Cross winners.

Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung took on 200 Japanese troops while manning a forward post in Burma (then a part of the British Empire) in May 1945.




Honour ... Gurkhas have won 26 Victoria Crosses

During the battle, which left him blinded, he threw two grenades back at the enemy - but a third detonated, blowing off his arm.


Lachhiman, now 92, continued to fire his rifle with his good arm for four hours, killing at least 30 Japs. He retired on disability grounds in 1946 and is wheelchair-bound in Hounslow, West London.

Rifleman Tul Bahadur Pun, 21, led a lone charge against a Japanese machine gun nest after his comrades were slaughtered in Burma in June 1944.

He killed three enemy soldiers and chased off five others.

Now 87, he then used two captured machine guns and ammunition to provide cover for his platoon following behind.

Like the SAS, the Gurkhas are not to be messed with. These troops were extremely nasty to the Japanese army during the second world war.

My father told me about how great these guys were in WWII. He said the Gurkha
were the finest soldiers and they did it with simplicity and a steady calm from
within. All over the world including the Falkland Islands these troops have been
the difference in producing victory.

Of course, all the while the United States Marines just sat there with their fingers up their aas.

For those of thick heads, this was meant as SARCASM!

I'm at a loss as to why the u.s. Marines was even brought up. No one had besmirched the marines in this O.P.

Doing a little trolling again Jackie?

gerryh, I will type this real slow, so that you can understand it.

My response was to damngrumpy, who praised the Gurkha fighters. My point was that given the right circumstances all fighters can be great, and as an example I mentioned the United States Marines. When damngrumpy used the term "all over the world", I thought that the Marines could and should not be ignored. I meant no disrespect for the Gurkhas.

And for all those who are not deficient in reading comprehension, (obviously you being an exception) I made it clear that it was SARCASM.

Get real, troll!
