The IAF has become a very capable force and in the years to come, "'we will continue to serve the nation with honour"' he added. There are many first-hand accounts by people who actually saw it. When it comes to such a topic, a lot has been written and discussed. If any nation which is to grow economically has to have a strong military, we must fulfil our obligation to the nation in the years to come.and we are always ready for the challenge,” he said. This was the day when India got separated from Pakistan. “The rate of change of technology is so fast in the world today that we have to keep pace with that. The AOC-in-C of the Western Air Command said the IAF faces many challenges, but the basic one is of technology. Indian troops had landed in Kashmir on October 27, 1947, a day after the then Maharaja Hari Singh signed the instrument of accession with India following the Pakistani tribal raids. Train to Pakistan (1956) by Khushwant Singh deals with the pain and horror of the haunting memory of partition that brought disharmony in harmonious Mano Majra. We do not have a plan at the moment, but, God willing, it will always be there because people in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are not being treated very fairly by the Pakistanis,” he said.
Today or tomorrow, history is witness, that nations come together. A portion of the ashes of the 99 year-old Khushwant Singh (who crossed the newly carved border in 1947), was brought by train from a crematorium in Delhi to Pakistan early this year, by one of his. People on both sides have common attachments. “(The whole of) Kashmir is one, a nation is one. However, when asked if the force has any plans to capture the PoK, Air Marshal Dev said there was no plan at the moment. I am sure that someday, the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir will also join this part of Kashmir and we will have the whole of Kashmir in years to come,” he said. “.All the activities which were carried out by the Indian Air Force and the Army (on October 27, 1947) resulted in ensuring the freedom of this part of Kashmir. Speaking to reporters at an event here to mark the 75th anniversary of the Indian troops' Budgam landing, Air Officer Commanding in Chief (AOC-in-C) of Western Air Command, Air Marshal Amit Dev, also said the people in PoK are not being treated very fairly by the Pakistanis. Adeptly mixing some very tender humor with powerful drama, Rooks masterfully captures the atmosphere and psychology of a momentous time.A top Air Force officer on Wednesday said there was no plan "at the moment" to capture Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), but expressed the hope that someday India will have the "whole of Kashmir". It is no wonder then how she creates an impressive adaptation of Khushwant Singh's best-selling novel, chronicling a climactic period in Indian history. New Delhi has for decades stationed at least 500,000 soldiers.
India has sent thousands more paramilitary troops into its section of Kashmir, already one of the worlds most militarised zones, after a string of targeted killings by suspected rebels in recent weeks, officials said Wednesday.
So, what are the authorities to do when two separate trains arrive full of dead Hindus and Sikhs? Calcutta-born Director Pamela Rooks finds herself in very familiar territory, having a Hindu father and a Sikh mother. India sends thousands more troops to restive Kashmir. Too bad also for the Muslim girl with whom he is having a clandestine affair when murderous suspicion falls upon Juggut, and the already mounting tension grows between Sikhs and Muslims. Khushwant Singhs historical novel A Train to Pakistan is set in the fictional town of Mano Majra during the summer of 1947, the year of the infamously.
Too bad for Juggut Singh, a Sikh, that he has a reputation as a gangster. A murder, however, can change all that in an instant. The frontier between India and Pakistan has become the scene of rioting and bloodshed, but in sleepy Mano Majra, Sikhs and Muslims have always lived peaceably together.
