INS SindhuRakshak: Salute the sailors

Salute the 18 sailors of the Indian Navy who perished in their watery grave - in the line
of duty for an ungrateful nation.

Our thoughts are with their families.

An ungrateful, uncouth chatterati- erupting in a vulgar paroxysm of "Eid Mubarak" on social media - while Indian Army
soldiers get killed and mutilated on the border by Pakistani special forces.

Was it Maulana Mumble Singh's Eid gift to the Pakistanis - to slaughter Indian army Jawans at will and rape, kill, burn with impunity, the few remaining Hindus in Jammu & Kashmir?

The state sponsored ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kishtwar by Kashmiri Jihadis - without any fear of restraint by authorities or retaliation by the Hindu minority - is nothing but a
gift to Jihadis on the occasion of Eid.

Regardless of what coconut oil salesman A.K Antony may say,
my gut instinct leads me to hypothesise that this was an attack by the Chinese to show uppity Indians their place.

All the great technology demonstrators like the Nuclear powered submarine, aircraft carrier etc. are of little practical value and do not deter the enemy - because the enemy is well acquainted with the lack of Indian will to use these weapon systems in national defense.

"We cannot rule out sabotage," Navy chief Admiral DK Joshi told the media after defence minister AK Antony visited the disaster site at the Mumbai naval dock.

"But indications at this point do not support the (sabotage) theory," he said. "At this point of time we are unable to put a finger on what exactly could have gone wrong."

An inquiry set up to probe the disaster will submit its report within four weeks.

It was the worst disaster to hit the Indian Navy, which has increasingly sought to dominate the expansive Indian Ocean region with blue water operational capability.

The incident came two days after India acquired its first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant. The past week also saw the nuclear reactor that propels Arihant, the country's first ballistic missile submarine, going critical.
