https://lnkd.in/d-926GHx Friends, Usually, I never post such topics on LinkedIn, nor do I believe in such YouTube videos. Four months ago when I came across this video I had completely rubbished but in the current context compelled to write this piece with a hope that my network will share this to maximum limit and ensure we protect our nation with peace and harmony at all cost. Let's do our part of Nationalism, so please share this to alert Govt. in advance. As I write this post, I read that the home ministry has asked for reports from every state, every 2 Hrs. One key reason why our neighbouring country inimical to us is not involved in any major misadventures is due to our air force superiority and air dominance but a shocking news has come last week that by early 2025 Pakistan will induct 100 J31 stealth fighter and by 2028 another 100 Kaan stealth from Turkey. By then India will neither be in a position to introduce AMCA nor buy F35, or SU 57 as the process is quite cumbersome and slow. And therefore it is quite possible the above video may come true. It is quite likely that we will face problems by early 2025 as we lose our air superiority and radar inability to track stealth jets. Therefore, I urge Govt., all important ministry, including #ministryofdefence #drdo and entire Govt. machinery, particularly #pmo #nsa #iaf to work on alternative solutions while expediting AMCA project and purchase of few stealth squadron from Lockheed Martin as part of 114 jet deals that's under discussion. We can't be indecisive now and still do comparisons or discussions. SU57 is or was never a choice as it won't be ready anytime before 2028. Only alternative that the Govt. should put all their stakes, money is to ask DRDO to make a radar system that can track these Chinese stealth jets, which are NOT fully untraceable and must have some weakness. A comprehensive system with complex, high end radar along with high energy, laser, weapon, be it Kali, Durga, whatever is effective to stop these stealth jets And only DRDO can do this in a short time_ by 2025 March timeline. Meanwhile, all private players, Tata, Mahindra, Bharat Forge, L&T, and all radar making companies must join hands to help Govt.finding a solution before that timeline. DRDO and Indian private players can and must develop that Radar and counter mechanism to stop J31 that will be soon parked on both Western and Eastern borders. While Govt. DRDO, IAF, NSA, PMO all of them must be working on this, my purpose was to bring these disconnected pieces in one post and in the process perhaps change course of untowards history in making. We can't change the future but must strive to protect our Nation from any internal disturbance or external threats. Let's pledge to stand by our country under all circumstances with the message of Buddha.

Today, we are celebrating the 77th birthday of our beloved homeland, Pakistan. Indeed, we should celebrate this great day because the country was created out of many sacrifices, be it in terms of human lives or otherwise. However, we should ask some pertinent questions to ourselves on this great day. The foremost question is, what do we mean by independence? If the mere separation of borders is independence, then probably we have achieved it. And if it means independence of thought, freedom of life, the pursuit of happiness, rule of law, observance of equality, fraternity and above all breaking shackles of slavery in our minds then probably we have failed to live up to these desired and cherished aspirations. Seventy-seven years is not a long time in a nations life, however, what matters most is the direction in which a nation is going. In my opinion, we are still short of embarking on the right path of true democracy and the rule of law. Today, we should promise ourselves that besides celebrating independence we as a nation will strive hard to achieve all those ideals for which this great nation and pure land was created back in 1947.

On June 9, 2024, Narendra Modi Ji was sworn in for his third term as Prime Minister of India, signifying strong electoral support for his leadership. Under Modi Ji, India has witnessed substantial economic growth, marked by ambitious infrastructural projects and reforms aimed at boosting investment and ease of doing business. His government has also focused on enhancing national security, modernizing the military, and adopting stringent measures against terrorism. In education, initiatives like the New Education Policy (NEP) have aimed to revamp the system, emphasizing skill development and digital learning. Modi’s tenure continues to shape India’s trajectory towards becoming a global economic and strategic power.

Today is actually an important anniversary. Forty years ago today, on the 31st July 1984, the late Queen in Council approved the incorporation of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT by Royal Charter, with the power to maintain a register of suitably competent professionals. The approval set in chain a process that led to HM Queen Elizabeth II witnessing the Royal Charter on 21st September 1984. It is under the authority of this Royal Charter that BCS registers highly competent and ethical IT professionals working in the IT, digital and computing arena. The independent, third party assurance that being registered as a chartered professional brings is highly valuable to those who need to rely on competent and ethical professionals. I believe that chartered and professional registrations are critical to building trust in the IT profession, particularly in the wake of the Post Office Horizon Scandal, the inexorable rise of AI, and sadly, the continuing IT outages that disrupt everyone's lives.
