&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
One of the most grueling tasks in selling is moving your product through an indirect sales channel. In these situations, you have to sell to other sales people, who then will sell your product to the end consumer. It’s similar to herding cats because you cannot command them as you are not their sales manager. Hence, you can&#39;t force them to sell your product, especially when there&#39;s easier and more money to be made selling someone’s else product.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
The first basic rule of relationship with your channel partners, of course, is that both of you want to make a profit through the sales of your product. It&#39;s very important to understand that, your profitability is in direct conflict with the profitability of your channel partners.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
You, as the supplier of the product, are looking to cut down your cost of sales by leveraging your channel partner resources. Meanwhile, the channel partner is hoping you to reduce the cost of ramp up and hence reduce their sales cost.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
Under these odd circumstances, the only way out is to devise a joint-venture relationship that can formulate a mid-point in each other’s profitability that both companies can bear in order to make a successful relationship. This clearly means that an investment is needed from your side in resources for marketing, training and sales support. Likewise, your channel partner must invest his resources to training and active promotion of the solution.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
Each channel relationship is a strategic investment. You don’t need to invest in too many channel partners, but in the ones, you do should be as effective as possible.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
As a matter of fact, over-recruiting of channel partners is one of the main reasons that indirect sales efforts of many companies fail. With too many partners, you lay your resources thin and hence making your partners starve with proper support which could have otherwise sold more of your product.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
Instead of spending on advertising, you need to direct your funds towards training a relatively smaller number of channel partners. The ability to build a productive channel is in direct relation with the amount of effort and money that you invest into quality channel training. Here&#39;s a five step program:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin: 3.2rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: inherit; margin: 2.4rem 0px 2.4rem 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;STEP 1: CREATE PRACTICAL SALES TOOLS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;To build a highly efficient channel the training regimen must go beyond the usual training that you would normally provide to a direct sales team.Your channel partners&#39; sales representatives will need competitive data sheets, selling videos, sales scripts, testimonials along with usual specification brochures. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: inherit; margin: 2.4rem 0px 2.4rem 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;STEP 2: PROVIDE AMPLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Channel partners always need a lot of good technical support, which is your job to provide. Because the channel partners usually stretch the products to do some new things, they&#39;re more likely to encounter problems, hence creating a requirement for additional support. The chances, here again, are that you might lay yourself thin. Therefore, you need to count your partners to a number that you can provide a good support.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: inherit; margin: 2.4rem 0px 2.4rem 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;STEP 3: CREATE WAYS TO COMMUNICATE MORE FREQUENTLY: &lt;/span&gt;Frequent communication is very important for a healthy channel relationship with your partner. With the pace with which every business moves nowadays, it is very important for you to provide news feed on daily or at least weekly basis about the major happenings in your company, your installed base, the target market etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: inherit; margin: 2.4rem 0px 2.4rem 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;STEP 4: BUILD A SALES INCENTIVE PROGRAM:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Even though the sales staff might already be getting compensations, they will be less likely to sell your product. You need show that there is “something in it for them. You should set up a system where sales reps of your channel earn proportional points when they sell your product. These points can be redeemed into a gift.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: inherit; margin: 2.4rem 0px 2.4rem 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;STEP 5: MEASURE THE RELATIONSHIPS:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are two primary reasons to measure the relationships. Firstly, the key to a healthy channel relationship is trust, which also means that you need to be flexible in making adjustments that will improve performance. That&#39;s only possible if you know what&#39;s happening around. Secondly, when one of your channel partners isn&#39;t performing, you need to know that quick enough to either fix the problem or remove that partner from your programs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Serif Pro&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;
The whole point of this article is that increasing sales by nurturing indirect sales is not something that can be done easily. It also does not mean that you require massive amounts of cash. If you follow these undoubted step to promote your sales, you will succeed more often than not.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Remembering First Martyr of Kargil War&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Saurabh Kalia (1976 – 1999) was an officer of the Indian army who died during the Kargil war while being held as a prisoner of war by the Pakistani security forces. He along with five other soldiers of his patrolling team was captured alive and kept in captivity where they were tortured and their bodies mutilated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first fortnight of May 1999, he had undertaken several patrols in the Kaksar Langpa area of Kargil to check whether the snow had retreated enough for the summer positions to be re-occupied. He was the first Indian army officer to observe and reported large-scale intrusion of Pakistani Army and foreign mercenaries in Indian side of LoC (Kargil). He assumed guard of &quot;Bajrang Post&quot; at the height 13,000-14,000 feet to check infiltration in the Kaksar area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On May 15, 1999 Saurabh Kalia along with five soldiers - Sepoys Arjun Ram, Bhanwar Lal Bagaria, Bhika Ram, Moola Ram and Naresh Singh of the 4 Jat Regiment had gone for a routine patrol of the Bajrang Post in the Kaksar sector in the rugged, treeless Ladakh mountains, after a continuous cross fire with Pakistan armed forces from across the LoC, he and his troops ran out of ammunition. They were finally encircled by a platoon of Pakistan rangers and captured alive before any Indian reinforcement could reach for their help. No trace of this entire patrol was left meanwhile Radio Skardu of Pakistan announced that Lt. Saurabh Kalia had been captured by the Pakistani troops. It was after this that India discovered hundreds of guerrillas had established fortified positions on the peaks of the hills deep inside the Indian side of the Line of control, with sophisticated equipment and supply lines back to Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Kalia and his men were in their captivity for over twenty-two (May 15, 1999 – June 7, 1999) days and subjected to unprecedented brutal torture as evident from their bodies handed over by Pakistan Army on June 9, 1999.The postmortem revealed that the Pakistan army had indulged in brutal acts of torture by burning their bodies with cigarettes, piercing ear-drums with hot rods, puncturing eyes before removing them, breaking most of the teeth and bones, fractured skull, cutting the lips, chipping of nose, chopping off limbs and private organs of these soldiers besides inflicting all sorts of physical and mental tortures and finally shooting them dead, as evidenced by the bullet wound to the temple. The postmortem report also confirmed that injuries were inflicted ante mortem (before death)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On June 9, 1999, NK Kalia had received the body of his son, Captain Saurabh Kalia, handed over by the Pakistani army to Indian army commanders at the Kargil sector, with evidence of torture.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Temple is revered by generations of Bhati Rajput and&lt;br /&gt;people of Jaisalmer and surrounding areas. Later on with the&lt;br /&gt;advent of time, Bhati Rajput brought their capital to Jaisalmer&lt;br /&gt;but temple remained located at Tanot.&lt;br /&gt;Before 1965 this temple was maintained by personnel of&lt;br /&gt;RAC and when BSF was formed, responsibility of maintaining&lt;br /&gt;this temple was shifted to BSF. It is a great source of&lt;br /&gt;inspiration for troops of BSF as well as of army due to miracle&lt;br /&gt;happened during 1965 Indo Pak war. It is said that in the&lt;br /&gt;month of Oct 1965 Pak Army had advanced from two flanks&lt;br /&gt;i.e. from Kishangarh and Sadewala side to deep inside Indian&lt;br /&gt;territory but area in between where this temple is located&lt;br /&gt;could not be overrun despite heavy pounding by Arty and&lt;br /&gt;fierce fighting. Pak Army fired more than 3000 shells in area&lt;br /&gt;around temple but due to divine power, It is said that most of&lt;br /&gt;the shell went blind and what so ever exploded could not&lt;br /&gt;cause much damage. It is further claimed by inhabitants living&lt;br /&gt;in nearby villagers that mother Goddes Tanot appeared in the&lt;br /&gt;dreams of some soldiers and assured them for protection if&lt;br /&gt;they do not leave the premises of temple. Later on Indian&lt;br /&gt;Army repulsed the attack of Pak Army and after three days of&lt;br /&gt;heavy fighting Pak Army made a hasty retreat leaving hundred&lt;br /&gt;of dead of its soldier. At that crucial time of war two coys of 13&lt;br /&gt;Bn BSF and one Bn of Grenadier was deployed in area of&lt;br /&gt;Tanot against one Bde of Pak Army but they fought valiantly&lt;br /&gt;and broke the back bone of enemy due to goddess blessings. Since then this temple came into prominence and its&lt;br /&gt;popularity spread over other region also . Again in 1971 when&lt;br /&gt;Pak Army launched sudden attack in Longewala in the night&lt;br /&gt;of 4th Dec, due to inspiration and spritual strength drawn from&lt;br /&gt;this temple, only one coy of Punjab regiment alongwith one coy&lt;br /&gt;of BSF (14 Bn BSF) repulsed their attack which is a unique&lt;br /&gt;operation in the world history of battles. Longewala is called as&lt;br /&gt;a graveyard of Pak Tanks where their entire Tank regt was&lt;br /&gt;made to bite the dust due to exemplary coverage shown by our&lt;br /&gt;troops. In the memory of victory in this historic battle of&lt;br /&gt;Longewala a Vijay Memorial has been constructed at the&lt;br /&gt;entrance of temple where on 16th Dec every year a celebration&lt;br /&gt;is organized with fervour and gaiety to remember the heroic&lt;br /&gt;deeds of our soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;Twice in a year i.e. in April and Sept Navrtara is&lt;br /&gt;celebrated at Tanot where free lunger is run by BSF as well as&lt;br /&gt;free Medical camp. Thousands of devotees from every nook&lt;br /&gt;and corner of the country throng the temple to offer their&lt;br /&gt;prayer to goddess. In 1989 a Tanot Mata Trust was&lt;br /&gt;constituted to look after the offer of temple as well as to see its&lt;br /&gt;management. Presently patron of this trust is worthy Shri&lt;br /&gt;S.N.Jain, IPS, and IG BSF Raj FTR while Shri. Sandeep&lt;br /&gt;Bishnoi, IPS DIG BSF SHQ JMR-I is chairman and Shri&lt;br /&gt;Prabhakar Joshi Offg Comdt is secretary. As feeling of public&lt;br /&gt;is attached with this temple a great care is taken to provide&lt;br /&gt;best amenities to devotees visiting the temple. This is the place&lt;br /&gt;where spiritual strength of Seema Prahari and its un-wearing&lt;br /&gt;commitment to safeguard the mother land can be seen side by&lt;br /&gt;side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This extremely courageous act  involving immense risk to his life exemplifies the daring qualities of  Indian fighter pilots engaged in the present operations. Tragically, he  paid the price for his bravery when his MiG-21MF fighter, C-1539 was hit  by a SAM. Though the officer ejected safely, but, as was confirmed by  the post-mortem report,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the data released by the  IAF, Ahuja&#39;s aircraft had been within the Indian side of the Line of  Control, a ceasefire line and pseudo-border agreed upon by India and  Pakistan in the early 1970s to maintain status quo in Kashmir. A  post-mortem examination conducted at the Srinagar Base Hospital claimed  that Ahuja had landed safely after ejecting from his plane, but had been  killed later by Pakistani soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The post-mortem report of Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja spoke of three grievous wounds:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. There is a penetrating gunshot wound; entry near right ear, exit near the external orifice of left ear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Gunshot wound: entry 2 cm medial to right nipple, exit near left  iliac crest damaging internal viscera like liver, intestine and  peritonium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Compound comminuted fracture left knee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Suffered multiple punctured wounds over left and right thighs,  rupture of right lung, injury to neck vessels, small intestine and left  liver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was reported that the left knee fracture was  sustained when he parachuted down, but the gunshots show that he landed  alive and was shot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he was murdered in cold blood on the  ground. We salute this brave officer for his gallantry and draw heart  from his dedication and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;Respect!!&lt;br /&gt;Jai Hind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ptbai.blogspot.com/feeds/5604543763971513474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ptbai.blogspot.com/2012/05/hercules-something-has-hit-my-plane.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415870871987321283/posts/default/5604543763971513474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415870871987321283/posts/default/5604543763971513474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ptbai.blogspot.com/2012/05/hercules-something-has-hit-my-plane.html' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16737385866880802140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjgXsNWSBtukERYYKjIvWOXYPOSHmLOis7iieKg0fJU2rdvKsWGk9ZZc5MHGlDnjDMa0Agwv5zq3sm2iLUWF2zFA3bxyy0JFjEh2xNia9volzxaplp6jyq8W7MjeIgFAGeOuQKYKXQE-E/s72-c/484361_10150870305123071_87167763070_9662779_434701554_n.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415870871987321283.post-4030326858100072858</id><published>2012-05-17T02:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-17T02:10:11.998-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247); &quot;&gt;The Indian Army has used tanks originally designed and built in many countries.

Commando&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During The Attack on Akshardham temple on 24th September 2002 this Brave Man fought the greatest battle of his life. Yes he was the N.S.G. Commando Late Mr. Surjan Singh , who sacrificed his life for the Nation. Sadly On 19th May 2004 he lost the Toughest and Longest battle against life exactly after 600 Days being in Coma, he lost this life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bullet which hit him in the head made him Unconscious for almost 600 days. His family members were hoping that one day their Hero will open his eyes but he didn&#39;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the Longest Wait for the family members of this Brave Man. When the whole India was busy in Guessing Who will be the Next PM of the country - Will it be Sonia or will it be Manmohan Singh, This man was fighting his Last battle. But it&#39;s so sad that in the hype of all the Political Drama, the News about his Death was Lost like a needle in a hay stack! Even the leading News Papers &amp;amp; So Called Best News Channels of India which Works on 24 X 7 basis, failed to highlight this story of the Brave Man. Unfortunately it was mentioned somewhere on the middle page of some newspaper.....This was the Reward for the Brave task for which he lost his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides his Family members, only one thing was there with him during those toughest 600 days. It was there near his bed till the last Moment. Can you guess what it was?............... It was the &quot;Tiranga&quot;, yes! Our National Flag, which was saluting him for his Great cause. Absolutely No words can suffice our Gratitude towards him...&lt;br /&gt;Salute !&lt;br /&gt;Jai Hind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ptbai.blogspot.com/feeds/921024427814559505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ptbai.blogspot.com/2012/05/unsung-hero-shaheedon-ki-chitaon-par.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415870871987321283/posts/default/921024427814559505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415870871987321283/posts/default/921024427814559505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ptbai.blogspot.com/2012/05/unsung-hero-shaheedon-ki-chitaon-par.html' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16737385866880802140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvK6GeLbqxFATN1vuxSiiNf2FjAVGbD-Xi9HC07b5EhuA6I_XJhKbVaDDbip8qdl_nxUs6cp_g5GbykiCznHxqxxigxcI2dBj-LsMGyr7NFRylufF2fqXohCW5ljO_KUKTELxyzATa6Qg/s72-c/576499_10150842936463071_87167763070_9587742_689054694_n.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415870871987321283.post-6506717479730276997</id><published>2012-05-15T01:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-15T01:52:44.685-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;line-height: normal;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Remembering First Martyr of Kargil War&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Saurabh Kalia (1976 – 1999) was an officer of the Indian army who died during the Kargil war while being held as a prisoner of war by the Pakistani security forces. He along with five other soldiers of his patrolling team was captured alive and kept in captivity where they were tortured and their bodies mutilated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first fortnight of May 1999, he had undertaken several patrols in the Kaksar Langpa area of Kargil to check whether the snow had retreated enough for the summer positions to be re-occupied. He was the first Indian army officer to observe and reported large-scale intrusion of Pakistani Army and foreign mercenaries in Indian side of LoC (Kargil). He assumed guard of &quot;Bajrang Post&quot; at the height 13,000-14,000 feet to check infiltration in the Kaksar area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On May 15, 1999 Saurabh Kalia along with five soldiers - Sepoys Arjun Ram, Bhanwar Lal Bagaria, Bhika Ram, Moola Ram and Naresh Singh of the 4 Jat Regiment had gone for a routine patrol of the Bajrang Post in the Kaksar sector in the rugged, treeless Ladakh mountains, after a continuous cross fire with Pakistan armed forces from across the LoC, he and his troops ran out of ammunition. They were finally encircled by a platoon of Pakistan rangers and captured alive before any Indian reinforcement could reach for their help. No trace of this entire patrol was left meanwhile Radio Skardu of Pakistan announced that Lt. Saurabh Kalia had been captured by the Pakistani troops. It was after this that India discovered hundreds of guerrillas had established fortified positions on the peaks of the hills deep inside the Indian side of the Line of control, with sophisticated equipment and supply lines back to Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Kalia and his men were in their captivity for over twenty-two (May 15, 1999 – June 7, 1999) days and subjected to unprecedented brutal torture as evident from their bodies handed over by Pakistan Army on June 9, 1999.The postmortem revealed that the Pakistan army had indulged in brutal acts of torture by burning their bodies with cigarettes, piercing ear-drums with hot rods, puncturing eyes before removing them, breaking most of the teeth and bones, fractured skull, cutting the lips, chipping of nose, chopping off limbs and private organs of these soldiers besides inflicting all sorts of physical and mental tortures and finally shooting them dead, as evidenced by the bullet wound to the temple. The postmortem report also confirmed that injuries were inflicted ante mortem (before death)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On June 9, 1999, NK Kalia had received the body of his son, Captain Saurabh Kalia, handed over by the Pakistani army to Indian army commanders at the Kargil sector, with evidence of torture..&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;An ex-spy from Jammu struggles for livelihood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was driving a taxi in Jammu when a passenger offered him a chance to &quot;spy for the nation&quot; and earn big bucks. As a 24-year-old, he grabbed the opportunity. But now, after more than three decades and a 10-year jail stint in Pakistan, a frail and hapless Vinod Sawhney struggles for his livelihood.&lt;br /&gt;Sawhney, 59, still curses the day when the allurement&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;of money got him entangled in the network of Indian intelligence that launched him as a &quot;spy&quot; in Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;He is currently undergoing treatment at the Government Medical College Hospital where the authorities lodged him after forcibly evicting him from Press Club Thursday night. He was on a hunger strike for over a week demanding &quot;some means to earn a livelihood&quot; from the government.&lt;br /&gt;Sawhney narrated his story on how Indian intelligence officers hooked him to &quot;spy for the nation&quot;. He used to drive a taxi in Jammu at 24 years of age. On an August day in 1977, a passenger asked him how much he earned. &quot;I told him I earned around Rs.300 monthly...he said I could earn much more by doing work for him. I agreed.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I was brainwashed and told that what I was going to do would be of immense service to the nation,&quot; Sawhney narrated to IANS.&lt;br /&gt;The next day he was taken to Suchetgarh border, about 35 km west of Jammu, and pushed into Pakistan along with three other people and a guide. &quot;I was told that my code name is Vinod 22, but I was not told the names or codes of others.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Sawhney and his group kept moving in Pakistani cities like Sialkot, Islamabad, Faislabad and Sheikhupura. &quot;Then one day, I don&#39;t know what happened, the guide got me arrested. I was lodged in Sialkot jail.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;He underwent about nine months&#39; trial and was finally lodged in the Multan central jail. His family approached the government seeking his release. Finally he, along with 109 others, was repatriated in 1988. Thereafter, he kept pleading unsuccessfully at various levels in government for rehabilitation or pension.&lt;br /&gt;He asked the government to give him some job or pension as he had &quot;lost the prime of my life in service of the nation&quot;, but nothing happened.&lt;br /&gt;He got married to Kailash Rani in 1990 and has two sons -- Vivek, 19, and Vidur, 13. &quot;They are studying with the support of my brothers who are well-to-do and doing business.&quot; Sawhney lives in his paternal house in the Bakshi Nagar area.&lt;br /&gt;He says his poor condition affected his health and he even suffered a brain haemorrhage and slipped into a coma for 21 days. &quot;Today after seven days of hunger strike my heart rate is 40 and blood pressure 70/40. This is what I am getting for serving the nation,&quot; he rues.&lt;br /&gt;Sawhney is just a Class 8 pass but can converse well in English. For this, he says, &quot;In Multan jail, I used to interact with intellectual and political prisoners.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Narrating his story, his voice chokes and eyes well up. &quot;Instead of Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru, they (Indian government) should give me the death sentence.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Deputy Commissioner of Jammu Sanjeev Verma told IANS over telephone, &quot;There are hundreds of such cases, and it is not possible to help all of them. But in this case, we have taken a lenient view and recommended to the municipal authorities to give him a vendor&#39;s licence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Their funding must be choked -- all  illegal funding, hawala, drug money, transfers etc. When funding was  choked, even a staunch and strong organisation like the LTTE collapsed  and this is not even 1/100th of what the LTTE was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:100%;&quot; &gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt; If funding is choked, there is no future.
