Stumbled across that sub randomly on my front page, they make librandu look sane lol

Good morning sirs.

On the Sunday morning of August 12, 1964, an Indian Navy Hawker Sea Hawk fighter jet taxied out of Menambakkam airport's dispersal area (akin to a parking bay) in Chennai, entered the runway and took off towards the Bay of Bengal. The citizens of Chennai (then Madras) weren't surprised.

The navy's aircraft carrier INS Vikrant had recently relocated to Chennai from its home port of Mumbai (then Bombay) for flying training, and so her fighter jets, single-seat single-engine Sea Hawks of the 300 "White Tigers" squadron, were a usual sight in the Chennai skyline.

But on the ground, there was panic. The carrier's flight squadron was on Sunday routine and no flights had been scheduled that day. Sea Hawk number IN 163 then flew towards the harbour where the INS Vikrant was anchored, and went on to buzz the carrier.

Your ego is writing cheques your body can't cash, Maverick.

The 25-year-old sailor was in-charge of 300 squadron's fire and security party. It rapidly emerged that Gill had commandeered the aircraft and taken off. He wasn't wearing a 'Bone Dome', the flight helmet with a radio set, which meant the ATC couldn't communicate with him.

Yippie

Nooooo listen to me

However, as Gill returned to the Meenambakkam airport, he discovered that he didn't know how to operate the aircraft's air brakes and flaps, which were needed to reduce the jet's speed before landing.

After many failed high-speed attempts at landing, Ajit headed towards the sea. He successfully ditched the aircraft in the water off the Tiruvanmiyur beach over 10 kilometres east of the airport an hour after his take-off. In doing so, he became the only Indian to have landed a Sea Hawk on the water.

Based lmao imagine not being able to do a proper landing but sticking an emergency one.

Gill's actions did not go unpunished. But here again, the Navy Act did not specifically cater for a person illegally taking off in an aircraft, so he was charged for missing from his place of duty and tried under Section 74 of the Navy Act relating to good order and discipline.

Gill was court-martialled and sentenced to maximum two years of rigorous imprisonment. He completed his sentence and then disappeared. He did not contact any of his friends in service.

Do crimes no one has imagined before

He applied to join the air force as an emergency commissioned officer, but the navy refused to grant him permission as he still had over a year of naval service left. Because of his heavy commitments in the 300 squadron, Ajit's pilots' licence lapsed. He then volunteered to help pilots 'strap-up' where he would ask many questions about cockpit switches.

A second attempt by Gill to leave service and join the Indian Air Force in 1964 was again rejected by the navy. This refusal, coupled with hearing the frequent talk of flying by the Navy pilots, must have frustrated him, Admiral Pasricha believes, leading him to hijack the aircraft for the joy ride.

"Whilst there is little doubt that what Ajit did was totally wrong, I fully understand his frustration and bravado," Vice Admiral Pasricha writes. "I think he would have made an excellent fighter pilot because he seemed to have all the right ingredients-courage, determination, capability, enthusiasm and perhaps the little madness associated with all of us! I can appreciate his correct action to ditch his aircraft."

In the wake of the demise of trans man bodybuilder Praveen Nath, Kerala-based youth organisation Dhisha has filed a complaint with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Social Justice Minister R Bindu, and Director General of Police (DGP) Anil Kant, seeking action against online news portals and transphobic individuals who allegedly pushed Praveen into taking the extreme step. Praveen, who was under treatment at the Thrissur Medical College Hospital following an attempted suicide, died on Thursday, May 4.

Meanwhile, the advent of a queerphobic youth organisation called ‘YES Kerala’, at a time when the state is still reeling from the shock of Praveen’s death, has become a cause for concern among LGBTQIA+ persons in the state. The organisation, which calls itself “anti-woke”, claims to have come together with the intention of “protecting the younger generation” from “wokeism” and “rainbow propaganda”. YES Kerala is an acronym for Youth Enrichment Society of Kerala. One of the ‘vice-presidents’ of the organisation’s state committee, Mathews K Luke, has been called out on Twitter (where he goes under an alternate name) for his severely queerphobic opinions and misinformed claims.

Calling members of this organisation equivalent to racists, Bhim Army leader Mansoor Kochukadavu called for resistance against such attempts at any cost.

Dalits say trans rights

Similar queerphobic groups claiming to ‘protect culture’ and ‘enact social responsibility’ have mushroomed in Kerala before as well, many of them rooted in religious fundamentalism. Take for instance, the popular Youtube page ‘Unmasking Atheism’, an Islamic platform that speaks about Muslim morality on LGBTQIA+ identities and argues against LGBTQIA+ activism. “Homosexual thoughts are fine, but they should not be acted upon”, “trans persons should strive to follow their body and not their mind”, etc are some of the primary ‘teachings’ propagated by the channel.

Wait the minorities are chuds? You don't say?

Meanwhile, Praveen’s brother Pushpan has alleged that Praveen used to be physically assaulted by his wife Rishana Aishu. Alleging that the young activist’s suicide was not because of cyberbullying but due to Rishana’s harassment, he said he will soon file a complaint against her.

Its not the scrote wagies going around labouring in the sun all day to earn a living who are most affected oh no chud Its their foid being forced to cook by the brahminical patriarchy back home

Women are r-slurs, women most affected

And no Sexy Indian dude takes mitigation measures below 35C other than metrosexual cute twinks who have never set a foot outside their airconditioned apartment.

@whills you get invaded too

Apparently Kathmandu mayor advocated for this Fricking pahari Biharis man.

Surprising amount of downvotes by Ukrainian bootlickers who want to suppress this. It’s a pretty racist country that voted against India so many times. They would’ve never taken it down if they weren’t called out. I really don’t understand what they were thinking by being racist right after asking for support.

India is ranked as one of the most racist countries in the world. Meanwhile Ukraine is less Islamophobic than the European average and it is the least anti-Semitic country in Europe.

Imagine not being racist and islamophobic Luv Israel though

Imagine we drew a lewd Mother Mary or Gautama Buddha or prophet Muhammad, wouldn’t that be racist and intended to hurt other communities?

That's still not racist, it's insensitive and hurting feelings, not racist. It's not stereotyped, it's not prejudiced, it's a goofy butt uneducated crap. Don't slap racism into this, well you're from UP(this can be considered as racist if we weren't of the same race). Keep throwing around words, hoping it sticks. You dumbass

Imagine being a

for fricking Ukraine.

Just to be clear, if you condemn Ukraine and condone Hebdo, you’re a hypocrite. If you condemn Hebdo and condone Ukraine, you’re just as much of a hypocrite. Freedom > Religion. Celebrate all demonstrations of freedom. People should be able to caricature ANY a religious figure without hesitation.

I love how seething on twatter= from to these clowns. Lundian government didn't even say anything just masses of kept spamming their replies till they had to

When china attacks India I'm just gonna laugh and not support any aid to India from USA lol. Good choice guys. Ask Russia for help or maybe china will help you against china.

I hope we build a fleet of SSBNs and adopt Israeli/Russian nuclear doctrine. If we go down everyone's going down.

India deserves to get attacked by china since they spread so much hate too.

Can't even threaten to invade us directly they have to hope their arch enemy does it. Average burger nationalist.

This laptop was in the range of ₹3.__ lakh just two days ago

Guess its back to asking relatives going to Dubai to buy electronics.

You guys are the only ones who understand me

>Akashvani will broadcast 'Mann Ki Baat' in regional languages immediately after the Hindi broadcast.

!bharatiya what did you guys do yesterday? I was setting buses on fire in Rawalpindi

The statement was made by Atta Tarar, the special assistant of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during the press briefing.

Addressing the media, Pakistan's Atta Tarar said, "Those who are doing vandalism and arson are people sent by the RSS and the BJP from India."

Tarar went on to say that there were celebrations in India after yesterday's incident. "These handfuls of people are related to the BJP and the RSS. There were celebrations in India after yesterday's incident (the protests). The BJP and the RSS celebrated this. Sweets were distributed in India," Tarar said.

Not sweets

All while Pakis can't even afford wheat

288 dead and 900 injured at the site of a train collision in the state of Odisha, India. This was the deadliest rail disaster in India since 1995 and the 4th deadliest in the world.

On 2 June 2023, at around 13:30 UTC, two passenger trains collided with each other right before a freight train also crashed into the site.

Pakistan is still under colonial rule. Army and feudals have replaced the British.

The eternal victim

There were no dams or railways until British Raj came and blessed us.

Honestly, I am quite anti-independence guy. We could have been Hong Kong had we not taken independence for another 70 years. But, zameendaar politicians had plans of their own. And if you are a PTI supporter I would suggest that you look at assets of key leaders of PTI. You will be surprised. Shireen Mazari, whose daughter doesn't stop crying about capitalism on her Twitter, is a major landlady. SMQ owns thousands of acres in area where an acre now costs millions. Imran Khan's sister recently purchase 500+ acres in Thal Desert before canal system could be bult there under Greater Thal Canal's next phase. Pervez Khattak used to be a normal guy in Manki Sharif. now within 10 years of PTI's term owns commercial plazas n Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Nowshera.

We're worse than Bihar and UP right now? That's bad.

The Pakis took us negging our worst performers to mean they are better than them.

I've never understood the comparison with India. India has always been strategically on the path of economic development, whereas the Pakistani government has been focused on political power struggles. People are appeased with religious comfort pills. This outcome was predictable even ten years ago.

78 years ago you mean

Pakistan is a failed state. India is opening up Tesla and Apple factories while Pakistan is too busy losing wars and engaging in useless political engineering.

Well you said it

Why is Balochistan's HDI progress so bad and what's the Pakistani govt's intuition for holding India accountable for the rebellious attacks in that region?

This

Pak "gov" can try treating the Baluchs fairly then attacks might not happen, you don't see Punjabis picking up guns against the state for a reason.

Full on Paki balkanization soon
