In the latest episode of Narrating their livelihood, Komal shares, “I am currently on a break. My father’s business took a hit during Covid-19. He has taken up a private job. My father’s financial condition is not so good that he can support me in weightlifting.” Big B in an apologetic note asks her how much it is required in weightlifting training. She further shares, “If you need to train for nationals, then monthly Rs 32000 is required, which narrows to Rs 1066. From the Government we get Rs 3600 per year as incentive.” Big B looks shocked. She adds, “It is given in the name of diet. It has stopped now because I have come in the senior category. According to the yearly fee, it amounts to Rs. 9 per day.” Big B says, “I hope we give more to encourage more people into such sports.” Komal shares, “I want to utilise the amount I win here for my training. I also want to take part in Commonwealth Games like Mirabai Chanu.” She uses the second lifeline 50:50 for: Who among these has written a book named 'Fearless Governance'? A. Nirmala Sitharaman, B.

Is the Centre’s proposal to pay ex-gratia for Emergency Commissioned Officers (ECOs) and Short Service Commissioned Officers (SSCOs) who participated in the 1965 and 1971 wars, also applicable to non-commissioned officers ? The proposal has raised confusion among a section of the ex-servicemen, and VeKare Ex-servicemen Trust (VeKET), an organisation fighting for the cause of retired soldiers, has written a letter to the army authorities and the Defence Ministry seeking clarity on the issue. Mandetira N. Subramani, an advocate and President of VEKET, told The Hindu that a large number of ECOs and SSCOs were inducted during the 1965 and 1971 wars to overcome the scarcity of officers then. These war veterans do not get regular pension as they retired before completing the pensionable service of 15 years, he said. “The Government of India has now proposed to sanction ex-gratia to them to the tune of ₹30,000 per month which is not only welcome but is belated. What is disconcerting is that there is no mention of the jawans, seamen and airmen who are categorised under Other Ranks (ORs) but who too played critical role in the operations and we wonder if they have been excluded’’, said Mr. Subramani. He pointed out that the army circular on compiling the data of the war veterans who are in receipt of the Samar Seva Star, 1965 or the Poorvi/Paschimi Stars, 1971 only refers to ECOs and SSCOs and there was no mention of the ORs. “Some sepoys, naiks and havaldars may have served for a ...

It’s been nearly forty-seven years since then, but the unparalleled courage and contribution of these brave hearts are still etched in the collective memory of the country. However, few people know about the Rabari cattle grazer from Banaskantha whose unique skills helped the Indian Army capture enemy soldiers and key towns during the war of not just 1971, but also 1965! Here’s the riveting story of Ranchhod Pagi, the unsung scout from Gujarat whose unique skills saved thousands of Indian lives during two Indo-Pak wars. The year was 1965. Hostilities had started in April after Pakistani incursions into the Rann of Kutch, thesprawling salt marsh located in the Thar desert in Gujarat. By August, the Indo-Pak border had turned into a battlefield. Hailing from a family of Rabaris – a nomadic tribe of cattle and camel herders that resided in the Limbala village of Banaskantha, Pagi was working as a guide with the local police when war erupted and he was recruited by the Indian Army as a scout. The reason? His exceptional tracking skills. Courtesy of having lived a life deeply intertwined with nature and livestock, the humble herder had the ability to deduce crucial intelligence about troop movements from barely-there footprints. Affectionately known as the ‘old war camel’ by the Border Security Force(BSF) jawans, Pagi would sit on his haunches at the Indo-Pak border, peering into the horizon with his beady eyes and poking the ground for signs of intrusion from Pakistan. Also Re...
