Army Vs Supreme Court Vs Human rights ???
Army Vs Supreme Court Vs Human rights ???
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Col. A.N.Roy
I firmly believe that terrorists are born to be killed and they do not deserve any rights, forget human rights.
Serving defense forces personnel in disturbed areas should be beyond questioning by the Supreme Court and a law to this effect should be made in the Parliament.
I am forwarding this message to all the contacts in my phone book and request all of you to do so if you agree.
*Brilliant response from an army veteran to the Supreme Court's order on human rights in Kashmir.
An army veteran who lost a family member to a terrorist's bullet has raised a painful pose in the Supreme Court,
*"How much do you know about the brutality of war?
How many of you sent your children to the armed forces?
Have you ever lost a family member in defense of the country?
Do you know the pain of losing a young son or being a widowed daughter or watching your grandchildren grow up without their father by getting martyred so that you are safe?
If not, please contact us .
Don't hinder the war effort.
Human rights feel great when you and your families are safe in safe air-conditioned homes, but not when you're facing bullets and stones from an unruly religious fanatic mob."
Implementing the court's directions for the Pulwama incident, an FIR will be registered against Gunner Rishi Kumar, who risked his life to kill two terrorists despite their injuries sustained on their heads.
Police investigations would haunt him for years, even when he was posted to other places in India.
Courts will issue summons and demand his presence. He will be accused of depriving 'innocent' jihadists of their human rights and asked to justify the killings. They will be asked- "Are you sure they were terrorists? They didn't kill you, why did you kill them?" They will be asked- "Did you give them enough opportunity to surrender and improve themselves?"
"Did you give them a fair chance to escape?"
"Did you shoot warning shots in the air?"
Instead of being praised for his heroism, he would be subjected to a judicial witch-hunt.
What a shame for the country...! To subject active military operations to judicial review is a bizarre idea.
While all nations give their soldiers the right to defeat the enemies of the state, India takes pride in fettering them.
Addressing the US Naval Academy in April 2010, United States Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates said: "You have answered the call of the trumpet. For my part, I feel personally to each of you." as if you were my own sons and daughters.** and when I send you to harm as I wish, I will do everything in my power to see that you have what All you need to do is fulfill your mission - and come home safely."
Clearly, the Supreme Court of India thinks differently.
The human rights of the enemies of the state seem to be more important than the security of the country.
As a serving officer finally remarked - "The Supreme Court has given us two options - get killed, the country will honor your martyrdom or kill the terrorist and face years of police/judicial investigation."
Their fears are real and most shared.
Wonder which soldier would be ready to serve in such a hostile environment!
Appeal to all Indians:- However, let us all make it a mass movement so that the Supreme Court reconsiders the issue and appreciates its seriousness.
We cannot fight for India on the borders but we can fight for the betterment of our soldiers from the safety of our homes.

GREAT SPEECHES !

GREAT SPEECHES !
General George S. Patton is famous for his powerful ( and vulgar ) speech delivered to the Third Army before the Normandy landings in World War II.
The speech, known for its strong language and emphasis on aggression, aimed to instill courage, aggression, and a winning mentality in his troops. It focused on the brutality of war, the importance of victory, and the shame of cowardice.
Patton repeatedly stressed the importance of winning and the shame of defeat, reflecting the American spirit of never giving up.
He did not shy away from describing the violence and gore of combat, aiming to prepare his men for the harsh realities of battle.
Patton addressed the fear that soldiers might experience, assuring them that even fear could be overcome through action and duty.
The speech used harsh language and dehumanizing terms to describe the enemy, potentially fostering aggression and hatred.
He explicitly condemned cowardice and praised bravery, reinforcing the idea that a true soldier fights even when afraid.
While emphasizing individuality, Patton also stressed the importance of teamwork and fighting as a cohesive unit.
The speech, though controversial for its language and sentiments, is widely considered a powerful example of leadership and motivation in wartime and remains an iconic speech by a military commander !
However, there has been criticism of the speech from many, as it contained profanity and graphic language, which some found unprofessional and potentially damaging to the image of the US Army.
Patton's descriptions of the enemy, including phrases like "cutting out their living guts," while intended to incite aggression, could be seen as dehumanizing and potentially harmful to maintaining a sense of morality during wartime.
Some historians have criticized Patton's leadership style, including his aggressive tactics and sometimes insensitive behavior, as potentially detrimental to morale and discipline in the long run.
The speech, while intended to inspire, could be interpreted as promoting excessive aggression or even brutality.
Patton emphasized the importance of the team, his own ego and individualism were also apparent, which could be seen as a negative trait in a leader.
To conclude,
Patton's speech to the Third Army was a complex and controversial piece of oratory. While it successfully motivated his troops and emphasized the importance of their contribution, it also employed language and imagery that could be seen as problematic. The speech serves as a reminder that leadership, even in the context of war, requires a delicate balance between inspiration, strategy, and ethical considerations !
*CLASSMATES AND THE TRICKERY OF LIFE*
*CLASSMATES AND THE TRICKERY OF LIFE*
There is something both amusing and tragic about classmates.
When we are young, sitting side by side in stiff wooden desks, everything feels equal.
We wear the same uniforms, complain about the same teachers, and dream the same big dreams.
We believe, with the foolish confidence of youth, that life will reward us fairly.
That the one who topped the class will top in life, that the one who struggled will always struggle, that effort will always equal success.
But life is not a classroom. Life is a trickster, a mischievous storyteller who loves plot twists.
Then one day, years later, we meet again at ordinations, weddings, funerals, airports, or by accident at a supermarket.
And suddenly, we see what nobody warned us about.
The boy who never did his assignments now owns a mansion.
The one who won all the academic prizes is still searching for relevance.
The one who was always quiet now commands boardrooms, while the one who once led every debate now sits in silence, waiting for an opportunity that refuses to come.
And we ask ourselves: how did this happen?
Nobody told us that life does not follow the rules of the classroom.
That hard work is important, but so is luck.
That intelligence is valuable, but connections sometimes matter more.
That some rise not because they are the best, but because they were in the right place at the right time.
That life does not grade us like exam scripts, it rolls the dice and sometimes, the results are baffling.
There is a good side to all of these: no matter how far life scatters us, when classmates meet again, the years disappear.
Titles do not matter. Bank accounts do not speak.
We laugh over memories of forgotten nicknames, of teachers we swore we would never forget but now struggle to remember.
For a brief moment, we return to a time when we were just young with dreams, before life stepped in with its unexpected script.
And just maybe, that is the real lesson:
*Success in life is not just about who has more, but about who still has a heart that can reach and remember his friends
*This is not medical advice but an article describing a scientific research hypothesis. Please follow doctor's advice only.*
*This is not medical advice but an article describing a scientific research hypothesis. Please follow doctor's advice only.*
*Appendix*
What if the “useless” appendix is actually the brain’s secret ally in your belly?
For decades, the appendix was written off as a biological relic useless, expendable, and routinely removed without hesitation. But cutting-edge research from Duke University is flipping that narrative on its head.
Scientists have now discovered that the appendix is far from a vestigial organ. It contains over 200 million neurons more than the spinal cord wired into intricate networks that allow it to communicate directly with the brain and operate semi-independently. That’s right: your appendix may actually act as a second brain for your gut.
This small, overlooked organ functions as a reservoir for good bacteria, preserving your microbiome during illness and helping repopulate your gut afterward. It also plays a critical role in immune memory and gut-brain signaling something people who’ve had theirs removed are now missing. In fact, studies show that individuals without an appendix may experience weaker digestion, higher vulnerability to intestinal infections, and slower gut responses to stress.
The medical world is now rethinking routine appendectomies. Some hospitals are shifting away from surgery toward antibiotics for milder cases, recognizing the long-term value this organ may hold. And for those who’ve already had their appendix removed? There’s still hope.
You can support your gut-brain axis and restore microbial balance by eating fermented foods, taking high-quality probiotics, and nourishing your gut lining with healing nutrients like collagen, zinc, and bone broth.
Turns out, the appendix isn’t some leftover evolutionary scrap it’s a critical guardian of your gut and a key player in your body’s hidden communication network.

*The Girl at the Beach – A Reflection on Life*
*The Girl at the Beach – A Reflection on Life*
I was at the beach when I saw a young girl spot a candy at a stall. “Mama, I want that,” she said. Her mother smiled and bought it for her.
A few steps later, she saw a small toy whistle.
“Mama, now I want that too,” she said. The mother bought her that as well.
Then came balloons. She asked again, and again, the mother said yes.
Soon, the little girl had her hands full of all the things she had wanted.
Then she saw the waves. She ran to her mother and said, “Mama, I want to go into the water.”
The mother said gently, “You can go, but I will not hold your things.”
The girl walked into the water, holding it all.
One by one, the candy slipped away. The toy fell. The balloons floated off. And in the end, she came back with nothing in her hands.
It struck me how much this felt like life.
We keep wanting one thing after another.
We fill our hands, our homes, our lives with things. And when it is time to enjoy the moments that really matter, we often find we cannot—because we are too busy holding on to what we do not really need.
It reminded me that as adults, we need to pause and check what we are holding on to.
And maybe more importantly, remember that our children learn by watching us.
I believe that is a responsibility all of us carry—
To live with enough, not with excess.
To enjoy the moments, not just collect things.
That is a lesson I hope I never forget.

*The Curious Case of Ben Stokes and the Unshakeable Indians**
(A narrative in which Old Trafford resembles the Drones Club on a Saturday afternoon)
The thing about India and Test cricket is that they have a tendency, much like an absent‑minded uncle who suddenly remembers he has a moustache, to surprise you at the most inconvenient moments. Old Trafford, Manchester, was no exception.
England, bless their cotton socks, strutted out with the air of a chap who has just hoisted an absurdly large salmon onto the bank. Six hundred and sixty‑nine runs, Stokesy and chums informing anyone within a mile radius that India had about as much chance as a blancmange in a fencing match. A mere formality, said the pundits, dusting their jackets and adjusting their monocles.
India, however, had clearly not read the script. Two wickets down for the price of a half‑eaten sandwich, yes, but then appeared Gill and Rahul, all poise and sang‑froid, as if they were sauntering into the Long Room to borrow the sugar tongs. Gill, who seems incapable of batting badly this series, whistled up another century, while Rahul produced ninety of the classiest runs ever seen outside a Savile Row fitting room.
The plot thickened when Jadeja and Washington Sundar walked in. One expects chaps in such situations to look like condemned prisoners approaching the scaffold. Instead, they exuded the calm confidence of men about to order pudding. And order it they did—hundreds for both, the English fielders looking like people who had just been told the pub was closed early.
Enter Ben Stokes, England’s captain, eyes aglow with what one assumes he thought was statesmanship, offering the Indian duo a handshake to call it quits. Rather like a chap in a losing poker hand suggesting everyone simply “call it even.” Jadeja, twirling his imaginary moustache, politely declined, while Sundar—busy crafting his maiden Test ton—merely smiled the beatific smile of one who has seen the menu and intends to have dessert.
And thus, India batted on, unmoved, unbowed, and possibly wondering if they might fit in a quick game of carrom between overs. England huffed, puffed, and went home with a draw which, from their perspective, felt suspiciously like a loss.
Moral of the story: If you plan to extend the olive branch, best not to do it when the other chap is still chopping wood.
Charles Joghin was relaxing while the Titanic was sinking.
Charles Joghin was relaxing while the Titanic was sinking.
🚢 There are many Titanic stories… but you probably haven’t heard this one.
Meet Charles Joghin — the chief baker on the Titanic.
He loved two things: making bread and drinking wine.
And he put both to good use the night the world’s most famous ship hit an iceberg.
That evening, Charles was relaxing in his private cabin as usual — sipping from a flask and testing out the moonshine distillate he’d made (the benefits of having no yeast limit).
When a deep, ominous crunching sound came from the starboard side of the ship.
Unperturbed, he picked up his flask and headed up to the deck — just as he heard Captain Smith order the lifeboats to be prepared.
🍞 What did Charles do next?
He assembled his team of bakers and personally organized the distribution of bread to the lifeboats — because calories save lives in the cold sea.
Then he returned to his cabin… and drank some more whiskey.
When lifeboat #10, the one he was supposed to board, was ready — he offered his seat to another crewman and stayed put — sober and slightly tipsy.
Finally, when all the lifeboats had been launched, Charles stood alone on the ship, throwing deck chairs into the ocean one by one — to serve as flotation devices for those in the water.
And yes, he kept drinking.
🧊 When the stern of the Titanic lifted up,
Charles quietly crossed the railing…
And the ship sank beneath him — without pulling him out.
He swam for two hours in the icy Atlantic Ocean — his hair dry and his mind perfectly balanced.
When he was rescued, Second Officer Lightoller — who was sure Charles would be dead by now — was surprised to see him alive.
Charles believed that alcohol had prevented his blood from clotting and his consciousness from slipping away.
He survived.
He saved others.
And he survived the biggest maritime tragedy in history.
💬 After that?
He went back to the sea again.
He kept making bread.
He kept drinking.
He survived two more ship accidents.
And he lived till the age of 78.
Today, it is written on his grave:
"The Baker of the Titanic".
🥃🛳 A man who raised the cup of life — when the ocean was about to swallow him.
Moral Of The Story
Drink alcohol whenever you have a problem
