[Goanet] Why is the Indian Navy racing a MiG-29 & a Lamborghini?

[Goanet News]

Why Is The Indian Navy Racing A MiG-29 & A Lamborghini?

Shiv Aroor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LQqD3j6zgA

  The video you see above emerged yesterday in social
  media feeds, showing what appears to be an Indian
  Navy MiG-29K speeding along the tarmac at Goa's
  Dabolim airfield, with a supercar accelerating
  alongside. The video, tweeted out by IAF veteran
  Air Marshal Anil Chopra sparked a fair bit of buzz
  over what was going on, and whether this was a real
  video. Well, Livefist can confirm it is.

The video shows an official cinematic shoot featuring one of
the Indian Navy's MiG-29K fighters from the 'Black Panthers'
squadron based at Goa racing with a Lamborghini Huracan
before the fighter lifts off into a steep climb over the
Arabian Sea. The film being made will be released during Navy
Week in December this year and is being pitched at Indian
youth from a familiar adventure/speed angle. Love speed and
daring? Sign up with the Navy -- that's the proposition.

The Indian Navy, like the Indian Air Force and Army Aviation
Corps has a significant shortage of pilots, and needs steady
interest in its flying wing to justify proposals to buy
expensive new jets in the future.

  An officer at the Navy's Goa base told Livefist,
  "The film being made is pointed directly at the
  young. When it's ready, it will be an exhilarating
  showcase of speed from something that many can't
  really relate to -- a fighter jet that costs
  hundreds of crores -- to the things they can relate
  to -- a sports car, for instance. The line of the
  film will be direct too: If you have the passion,
  if you crave adventure and speed, then look no
  further than the Indian Navy."

The Indian Navy needs 735 pilots (its sanctioned strength)
but is short by 91, the government informed Parliament in
March this year. The Army is short of 192 pilots in a
sanctioned strength of 794. The Indian Air Force is short by
376 pilots on a required strength of 4,231. Waning interest
in the military and stubborn voids in the officer ranks
continue to haunt the armed forces as they look to create
leaner, younger structures.

The MiG-29K is currently the navy's only fighter since it
retired its Sea Harriers in 2016. Apart from 57 new fighters
it is looking to import from abroad (shaping up to be a
two-horse race between Boeing's F/A-18 and Dassault's
Rafale), the Indian Navy's test team has also recently
demonstrated progress with the naval Light Combat Aircraft
(LCA-N), though the aircraft in its present configuration
won't see frontline service with the navy from aircraft
carriers.

The Indian Navy, in its fighter-supercar race, is inspired by
a similar speed face-off from a decade ago, when the BBC's
Top Gear auto show had a Bugatti Veyron face off with a
Eurofighter Typhoon: https://youtu.be/7NZ9X9A2efA

More recently, a similar race was organised in 2014 between
an Indian Air Force Su-30MKI and a Lamborghini Huracán for
Autocar magazine:

TNN reports:

  Sources said that the Navy was collaborating with a
  magazine for an exclusive story which compares the
  performance of the aircraft and the car.

The official claimed that the Navy was preparing an
advertisement campaign-cum-promotional video for recruitment
of pilots for which the video was shot. The Indian Navy has
joined hands with a leading automotive magazine to document
the race.

"Today's youth admire gadgets, fast cars and we want to
inspire them to choose the Navy," a naval officer said,
explaining the rationale behind the video

"This aircraft has come in for a lot of flak regarding its
maintenance and we wanted to show that the MiG 29K remains a
formidable fighter in the Navy's arsenal," another naval
officer said.

A Mig-29K aircraft from the Indian Navy's White Tigers
squadron crashed in Goa's Dabolim airport in January this
year after going off the runway.

Re: [Goanet] The lynch sport of desi Neros

[Eddie]

Dear Soter,

You have put forward a persuasive argument on the persistence of lynchings.
You rightly pointed out that the BJP top babus play down the lynchings, 
which suggests they are not really moved by Muslim injuries or deaths. Way 
back in 2002, when Modi was CM, over 2000 Muslims were killed and 150,000 
displaced. Modi no doubt was involved but he escaped direct blame & 
conviction.


All this points to a visceral Hindu hatred of Muslims and it has historical 
roots. Modi himself revealed these roots in his first speech at the Lok 
Sabha in 2014. He spoke with passion of the "1200 years of slavery" to which 
Hindus were subjected to the invaders. [The figure 1200 he picked from 
Gaolwalkar's 'Bunch of Thoughts' (1968)]. The more accurate figure is 1000 
years - 800 of Muslim influence and 200 of British.
The Hindus of the BJP type have been smarting over their abject failure to 
eject the invaders. They are itching for vengeance today - manifested by 
their systematic discrimination and lynchings against Muslims. [But the 
Hindus have no grudge against the British who set up the Indian State, all 
the infrastructure and educated their first PM.]

The unprecedented rise in lynchings in some States has evoked widespread
reactions from a cross-section of Indian society. The Supreme Court has
come down heavily on the government by pointing out that “Mobocracy can’t
be allowed in a democracy” and even issued directions for enacting an
anti-lynching law. But predictably the debate on these lynchings will be
stuck in the usual denial, blame and farcical opinions from politicians and
intellectuals who beat around the bush. The saffron brigade is desperate to
play down the issue by claiming that lynchings are like any other law and
order problem. For the last seventy years since independence it has been
the default stance of the hate ‘parivar’ to rubbish any communal motive
attributed to various riots.

the default stance of the hate ‘parivar’ to rubbish any communal motive
attributed to various riots.

The Union Home Minister too has joined in rationalising the insignificance
of the present lynchings by positioning the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as the
biggest lynching episode in the history of independent India. Another Union
Minister claims these lynchings to be a sign of the Prime Minister’s
growing popularity, while another MP argues that the lynchings are a result
of the growth in Muslim population. The very compulsion of the right wing
forces to deny, justify and rationalise these lynchings coupled with their
reluctance to outrightly condemn lynchings is enough reason to believe that
these crimes are far from being the outcome of spontaneous mob reactions
triggered by social media. These lynchings appear to be planned and
executed by those who have marketed this hatred for minorities over several
decades. If not, then how is it that the Hindu traders who top in  beef
export from India and those Hindus who eat beef continue to face no threat
of lynching?

Circulation of rumours and provocation by hurting religious sentiments
leading to communal clashes and killings is nothing new in independent
India. The only difference is that ‘Digital India’ has added sophistication
and lethality in the operations of the ‘Rumour Spreading Society’, as these
fanatic groups are popularly known. There is now a speed and efficiency in
their craft of rumour mongering which is no more by mere word of mouth but
laced with provocative fake visuals intended to plant misinformation and
biases and sow distrust, anger and fear against certain communities all by
the press of a key. Blaming digital technology for the lynchings is just to
distract public attention from the real game. The rumour of yesterday is
the ‘Fake News’ of today to lend a degree of deception quite similar to the
play with terms like ‘Hindu’ and ‘Hindutva’. With partition blamed on the
Muslims, a false perception created that communal riots are the legacy of
British and Congress rule and a myth that no communal riots occur when the
BJP is in government, it becomes necessary that the communal riots of the
past get refashioned as ‘lynching’ and ‘gau raksha’ to deceive and confuse
society and statistics.

The lynchings need to be understood in the context of the psychopathology
of hate which cannot be tackled by TV debates which pitch liberals versus
the religiously orthodox and bigots and by enacting new laws.  It requires
the intervention by psychologists and psychiatrists to detoxify those who
are mentally intoxicated with hate. Laws by themselves can do little to
prevent crimes without the simultaneous interventions from mental health
experts. We see how the stringent anti-rape law has failed to deter
rapists. Since lynching is about human behaviour, just that one-off fake
news in the social media cannot always trigger such spontaneous mob
violence. The background as to why people think and manage their feelings
in the way they do is of utmost importance to comprehend such lunacy.

These barbaric episodes need to be understood in the context of a history
and pattern if effective responses are to emerge. The culture of mobs
delivering justice and death on the streets cannot be viewed independently
from a mob in black robes almost lynching a JNU student activist or an
accused rapist within the court precincts, or even the attack on Swami
Agnivesh on the street. So, propaganda over a significant time period about
religious or cultural superiority when coupled with prejudices and
stereotyping of certain communities as being a threat to the cow, nation
and the Hindu culture contributes to creating an explosive cognitive
cocktail generating negative feelings in members of a community. It is in
such a mentally corrupted and emotionally bankrupt ecosystem that one fake
message or provocation is enough to arouse barbaric behaviours. Lynchings
are only the end result of the fanatical brainwash.

It would be unfair to limit the blame for lynchings entirely on social
media and the public. The ideological preferences and communal prejudices
prevalent within the ranks of the police force and politicians have as much
a role to play. This is exactly why those convicted of lynching get
garlanded by MPs and MLAs

This week Goa’s despotic Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar heads for Delhi
and from there will proceed to the Cancer Hospital in New York for his
further medical treatment.

It is a very well established norm and protocol that whenever a Chief
Minister leaves the country, even on an official visit, he hands over
temporary charge of the CM’s chair to the Senior most Minister. But the
very self-centered, arrogant and now very Power intoxicated Manohar
Parrikar will not be doing so.

And this time there will be no Cabinet Advisory Committee (CAC). That the
CAC constituted last time by Manohar Parrikar was unconstitutional and
unlawful is another issue.

[Goanet] Benefits of Breast feeding (3)

[Gilbert Lawrence]

Part 3 - final part:
The VEN cells increase rapidly in number during the first and second month of 
life, a development probably assisted by breastfeeding and mother-infant 
bonding. After peaking at eight months, the VENs gradually decrease in number 
until the child reaches the age of four, and then they remain at a constant 
number into adulthood. 

Over the last decade, neuroscientists have begun to pay special attention to 
the insula and its related structures. The insula is involved with emotions 
such as self-control, self-awareness, happiness, guilt, embarrassment, 
intuition, and shame. In short, breastfeeding enhances the Insula, which 
improves the cognitive ability of the child, and plays a major role in 
developing personality and character.   A dysfunctional insula is linked to 
autism, addictions, various forms of dementia and other neuro-psychiatric 
illnesses.
The act of breast feedingarouses the five senses of the feeding infant. These 
arousals help stimulatethe corresponding parts of the baby's brain, and the 
connections between braincells (synapses).  The act of breastfeedingalso 
arouses reciprocal touch sensors in the skin of the mother and infantwhich 
excites the insula and causes the release of “happy hormones,” and 
conversely,the suppression of “stress hormones” in the brain of both the mother 
and child.

In short breastfeeding, beyondthe physical nourishment of the baby, also 
nourishes the mind of the baby andthe mother. All these mental effects have 
short-term and long-term benefits long after the period of lactation.  For the 
infant, it is better braindevelopment.  For the mother, data showsthat greater 
the number of pregnancies, the lower the risk of Alzheimer’sdisease later in 
life. For more information on the Insula, please refer to our 
web-pageyourhappybrainbook.com

[Goanet] OF BY AND FOR THE MLAS

[John Eric Gomes]

HIKE IN MLAS SALARIES
It is reported that MLAs have unanimously without discussion given themselves a 
hike of 77% in their salaries and allowances!  This means increase from the Rs 
one lakh/month to Rs 1.70 lakhs/month together with all the perks like free 
transport with driver, travelling/entertainment allowances etc, with 
constituency allowance of Rs90.000/- and so on. No wonder they are not 
interested in working to bring prices down but  heartilessly increase the taxes 
levied, charges and surcharges at every turn everywhere for the citizen, not 
the least bothered with his tightened budget!  With inflation at 6-7%, this 77% 
increase is not only indecent but immoral, not to mention illegal because this 
practice of making unilateral decisions by themselves in a democracy that 
benefit themselves  without consultation or discussion is not right! I wonder 
if they have a conscience when reportedly State run corporations are not yet 
given the previous 6th pay comission hike, strike called by the Kadamba 
Transport, salaries and dues of others not cleared in time and so on. 
Considering their performance in the Assembly, besides Parrikar (despite his 
health limitations) and a few other MLAs, do they honestly deserve such 
salaries? Why are we tolerating all this quietly? Why are most of us accepting 
being ruled rather that served?
