USA maintains all its aircraft carriers which took part in WWII
by Vishnu Sharma on Dec 01, 2014 03:27 AM

And we cannot even maintain and exhibit one ?

I myself have been aboard the battle ship lexington.

THey have preserved everything meticulously.

Indians lack a sense of pride and ownership.

They do not want to celebrate the high points of their history.

It is a very sad thing that this colossus is being ripped apart.

Fools !

GOOD JOB

THIS DECISION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN ON THE DAY ONE OF DECOMMISSIONING. PPL ARE CRAZY & WANTS IT AS A MUSEMUM... BUT ACTUALLY THEY DONOT KNOW THE RUNNING EXPENDITURE PER HOUR ON HARBOUR WILL BE 11.5 LAKHS AN HOUR...... OUR COUNTRY BEING LOOTED BY CONGRESS FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS WAS AWARE OF THIS BUT THEY KEPT THIS ALIVE AS THEY WERE MAKING MONEY OUT OF THIS RUNNING EXPENDITURE... ALSO ONE MUST KNOW THIS UNIT WILL OCCUPY A LOT OF SPACE @ DOCKYARD WHICH CAN BE NOW USED FOR LATEST WAR SHIPS....
OF COURSE WE COULD HAVE MAINTAINED IF CONGRESS & SWISS BANK PARTY WOULD NOT HAVE LOOTED US...

RIP VIKRANT.. JAI HIND.

Vikrant-Neighbour's ENVY, India's PRIDE.
by Kersie Madon on Nov 23, 2014 02:21 PM

As a schoolboy I had boarded The Vikrant with pride & thank her service to our Nation. But there's no place for emotions esp: when its not a living soul. Vikrant should have been scrapped long ago. It was not feasible to dock, manage & maintain her. How many of us would have visited her & paid entrance charges to pay for her maintenance? Its absurd & sparrow brains to even think that Mr. Modi scrapped her bec it belonged to Congress era bec her scrapping was not decided in a day or two but after a long legal battle & a Muslim was given charge to scrap her to humiliate Hindus bec the highest bidder got the contract. We should wish that India possess war ships like US war ships someday.

Modi government can find 3,000 crore for Patel memorial
by Rajeev Date on Nov 23, 2014 06:01 AM  | Hide replies

and not 100 crore for Viktant to be made into a museum?

Is it because 1971 victory (in which Vikrant played a major role) is associated with Indira Gandhi whose name gives Mr Modi allergy?

At least for the sake of Vikrant he should have left party politics aside.

No money for our past glory????
by Sandeep Patwardhan on Nov 21, 2014 10:36 PM

Recently I read in the paper that Mulayam is celebrating his birthday by spending 2 crores. Can we not spend this money on more productive way and preserve these ships and archieves? Sad that political neta in India are considered worth for spending huge money rather than preserving our past naval ship
