INS Vikrant : What Rafael is In the Skies, 10 Times More is Vikrant In The Ocean!

 /*Disclaimer: Information available in public domain is only given.*/


"THE CONTROLLER OF THE OCEAN RULES THE WORLD"


Let's start with the motto of the Indian Navy: शं नो वरुणः



                                                                                         INS VIKRANT

Current Status

Till the day before INS Vikrant was commissioned, INS Vikramaditya was guarding and standing upright for the protection of this great nation. What's needed was two more companions, one has
already come, the another one INS Vishal will come soon. Before INS Vikramaditya, INS Virat was the aircraft career used by the Indian Navy. It was commissioned in 2013 and was decommissioned in 2015.

Why the need of an another Aircraft Career!?

We must note that India is a peninsular country. "Peninsula" is a geographical term meaning a land mass that is surrounded by water on three sides. If viewed from space, Arabian sea on the west, Bay of Bengal in the east and Indian Ocean in the east. Are two Aircraft Careers enough? What I feel is no, not at all, in order to have conscious control over the three water bodies surrounding the country we need three aircraft careers. As Major General(Retired) Yashpal Singh Mor rightly quotes in his YouTube video regarding commissioning of INS Vikrant " Ye Dil Maange More!"  So we will soon be having INS Vishal!

INS Vikrant:

Full Form: Indian Naval Ship Vikrant

Class: Aircraft Carrier

Manufacture %age : Almost 80% Indigenous

Size: 

  • The height of this beast is equivalent to an eighteen storey building.
  • 262 metre in length.
  • 8.4 m draft.
  • Equivalent to 2 Football Fields.
  • You can have a 8 k.m. walk inside the ship.
  • Fondly can be called a city in the midst of the sea or ocean.

A significant move....

Great step of India towards becoming a Blue Water Navy, i.e. a navy that operates in all the oceans and seas over the world.

History of the Name.....

As many of you might be aware of the very fact that we are the very nation responsible for the formation of Bangladesh. It was in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation war, During that time we had our aircraft carrier with the very same name INS Vikrant.  It had played an important role during that war. Attempts had been made by the then Pakistan Government to destroy INS Vikrant using submarine PNS Ghazi, but to no avail. Unfortunately it was demolished after it was decommissioned recently. So in order to honour the great Aircraft Carrier, the new one was renamed as INS Vikrant. 

Inauguration...

Launched in 2013, Commissioned on 2nd of  September 2022.

Enormous Power Generation...

Can generate electricity for a city with a population of 20 lakhs.

Expenditure...

Almost  INR 20,000 CR.

Planes & Choppers...

  • MIG-29
  • LCA Tejas
  • Helicopters...

Important Note...

We must note that this indigenous Aircraft carrier is a great step to counter China as China is not very powerful in the Indo - Pacific region and the introduction of our new Aircraft carrier will further reduce China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region.


Some More Features...

  • 43000 tonnes when fully loaded.
  • 28 knots(About 52 Km/h)
  • 7500 NM Endurance
  • 1.10 Lakh HP.
  • 1750 Sailors.
  • 30 Aircrafts.

After reading this blog, for sure, I know you might want to go on INS Vikrant but its not possible for you to do so unless you don't join the Indian Navy. So if you have the passion, do join the Indian Navy.

Jai Hind! 🔥🔥

Malvan: An Indelible Trip!

Image
It was December 2022 when we, a group of five friends decided to go to a trip at my native place. It was quite successful but not quite far from our homes. Then in June 2023 we decided to go a little far and for real ended up going to Shirdi which is almost 291 km. It was a one night trip rather a pilgrimage wherein we spent the night in our sleeper train itself while returning. Then, since our trips were succeeding by the grace of supreme, we decided to plan a larger one for the next time and guess what!? We didn't only plan it but also have now executed it and now we are lost in the nostalgia of that trip. Since happiness increases by sharing, I decided to share our experiences with you, hope you enjoy. Happy reading ahead. Umm, I very well remember we had our "Periodic Test II" in the month of October 2023 from 9th to 12th October and since the syllabus of all the subjects had been declared over by then, for 13th of October weirdest of weird time table had been issued,

Bhavsagar: The Cosmic Ocean!!!

Image
"Kewat re kewat badi bhagi teri naiyya...   Aaj teri nayya mein biraje, bhavsagar ke khivaiyaa!! " Kewat, a professional who owns boats and helps people cross rivers, played a significant role in the story of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshman during their period of vanvaas (exile). They needed to cross the holy river Ganga, which was wide and deep, making it impossible to cross on foot. Sri Ram, accompanied by the king of Nishads, Sri Nishadraj, called upon the kewat to serve them. During the reign of Ramayana, all the people on Earth were incarnations of various gods who had come to serve Lord Vishnu in the form of Rama. However, Sri Ram himself was unaware that he was Lord Vishnu (Parameshwar). The kewat, eager to wash and touch the holy feet of the supreme with Ganga Jal (water from the Ganga), started arguing with Sri Ram. He explained that Sri Ram's feet were miraculous, as he had stepped on a stone which got converted into an Apsara had emerged. The kewat

Lord Vitthala!

Image
Lord Vitthala Who is Lord Vitthala? This question may come in minds of those people who are not very well aware about the sant and varkari  tradition of the Indian State of Maharashtra. Let me come straight to the point, Lord Vitthal is another form of Lord Krishna like jagganath, Banke Bihari, etc. The Specialty of Lord Vitthala's temple in Maharashtra? The temple of Lord Vitthala is in Pandharpur in Maharashtra and as per the devotees and the great saints the idol in the temple is Swayambhu meaning self incarnated.  The History of the Swayambhu idol! During the end of dwapar yuga,  there lived a man called Pundalik. He wanted to attain moksha and had decided to leave for kashi so that he could become free from the continuous cycle of birth and death ( moksha *) and while going to Kashi from Pandharpur he decided to rest at Maharishi Kutkut's Ashram.  He asked Maharishi Kutkut the way to Kashi to which the great sage replied that he didn't know the route as he had neve
