New Delhi (India), April 19: The oldest ‘think tank’ of India USI and the WWF, a registered charitable Non-Government Organisation (NGO), are jointly organising a Seminar relating to all war-disabled personnel of the Armed Forces Of India at the USI Auditorium, Rao Tula Ram Marg, New Delhi on 19 April 2022.

The Chief Guest at the Seminar is General V P Malik, PVSM, AVSM, Former Chief of Army Staff, under whose command and directions, the Kargil War was fought and won.

The Seminar would be held from 09:30 AM to 16:30 PM on 19 April 2022. The Seminar has been divided into four sessions.

In the Inaugural Session, the Chief Guest, after inaugurating the Seminar will address the gathering and will honour to approximately one hundred war-disabled personnel of various wars and war-like operations. The Session will also witness the change in the hierarchy of the WWF, wherein the pioneers who nurtured the 20-year-old institution will step down and a new team will take over the Foundation.

The outgoing President of the Foundation, Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, and former Vice Chief of Army Staff will hand over the Baton to Lt Gen Asit Mistry, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, and former Commandant National Defence Academy.

The Inaugural Session will be followed by Tea Break and Interaction with War-Disabled Personnel from various parts of the country, invited for the Seminar.

Three working sessions will follow. Session I: Challenges and Concerns of War Disabled Personnel will be chaired by Maj Gen Ian Cardozo, AVSM, SM, who had lost his leg in the 1971 War with Pakistan.

There are three speakers in the Panel. Brig Deepak Sinha, PARA (SF), a defence analyst is the first; Maj Gen Hardev Singh, KC, AVSM, who runs a “Not for Profit” Trust titled “Foundation Freedom” to promote Spiritual Wisdom, Health, and Guidance for the poor; and Major Navdeep Singh, an eminent author and legal luminary, who will address the audience virtually as he is unable to be physically present. Different aspects of the overall subject will be dealt with by the three speakers.

Session II will end with a short narration by a war-disabled warrior about how he sustained his injuries and how he met the challenges thereafter.

Session II will follow Session I. It will be chaired by Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, former Vice Chief of Army Staff and President of WWF and will deal with the subject “War Disabled Personnel Need to Live an Honourable Life, Standing on Their Feet and Being Financially Independent”. Gen Oberoi had lost his leg in the 1965 War with Pakistan, but he had soldiered on, competing with his peers and superannuated as the VCOAS of the Indian Army.

The three speakers in this Panel are three highly experienced Army Officers. The first speaker, Maj Gen Bhupesh Jain, VSM, a PARA (SF) officer, who had lost his leg in active operations, will speak on the part played by family, units and formations and the disabled individual himself in overcoming challenges of disability. He will be followed by Maj Gen Deepak Sapra, SM, who will speak on the very important subject of formulating a dynamic data base of the war-disabled to formalise the need for creating a separate group, which is lacking today.

The third speaker of Session II is Lt Gen Arvind Dutta, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, and former Adjutant General of the Indian Army. He will address the important subject of reaching out and according recognition to our war-disabled personnel.

Session II would end with another narration of a war-disabled warrior about his experiences in war and post-war activities.

After the break for a working lunch, the seminar will resume with Session III, which is being chaired by Lt Gen PC Katoch, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, SC, a well-known defence analyst and prolific writer from the PARA (SF) fraternity. His Session will deal with “Policy, Options and Alternate Avenues for War Wounded Personnel to Lead a Happy, Successful and Fulfilling Life”.

The three speakers on this Panel are two experienced army officers and a well-known lady who has brought laurels to the nation with her grit and perseverance. The first speaker of the Session is Maj Gen Ashok Kumar, SM, VSM, who is occupying the prestigious appointment of ADG Personnel Services in the Adjutant Generals Branch. He will dilate on existing policies, instructions and provisions for all war-disabled personnel.

Gen Ashok Kumar will be followed by Captain D P Ramachandran, an armoured corps officer who is a veteran of the 1971 War with Pakistan and is a Trustee of the ‘Colours of Glory Foundation’ Chennai. He will speak about the need to have plans and schemes that will enable the corporate sector and the war-disabled to assist each other.

The third speaker of the Session will be Dr. Deepa Malik, a renowned lady well known for her overcoming her disabilities and an example to all for her fortitude and courage, and now the President of Paralympics Committee of India. She will speak on chalking out a formalised sports policy for war-disabled personnel and preparing them to participate in para sports.

Session III will end with a brief narration by Ms Meghna Girish, who is currently occupying the WWF Chair of Excellence at USI and is writing the first book on War Disabled- Personnel.

Each session is designed to have a ‘question-and-answer’ session for interaction with the audience.

There are multiple aims we want to achieve from this high-powered seminar. The foremost is to bring out the problems and challenges the war-disabled face in the public domain; the second is how best to ensure that they are not financially constrained; thirdly, encourage them to lead a happy and healthy lifestyle; and never to forget the discipline and ethos of being a soldier.

Other aspects are whether the government and the armed forces are doing enough for them and how best can their lives be improved. One of the biggest challenges is to recognise them as a cohesive group, like those killed in Action (KIA), who are now erroneously called ‘martyrs’; the Veer Naris; or the Gallantry Award Winners. The war-disabled, which include those disabled in Warlike operations like conducting high grade operations against all categories of insurgents, need to be recognised as a separate group. They also need to be honoured.

The War Wounded Foundation was set up in 2002 for the long-term rehabilitation and financial independence of war disabled personnel of the armed forces. There are approximately 10,000 such personnel and their financial situation needs improvement.   All war disabled personnel of the army, navy and air force are automatically members of the War Wounded Foundation; they do not have to pay any fees.

The Foundation gives no doles or freebies but assists the war disabled in acquiring skills; becoming ‘soldier entrepreneurs’; and arranging jobs if they so desire. The Foundation has been functioning for the last 20 years but very few know about the work they are doing. It is hoped that this seminar will give visibility to the Foundation and its work.

Details of the Foundation can be accessed at their website: warwounded.org. The focus of the Foundation was and continues to be on rural areas, as the maximum numbers of our JCO’s and Jawans come from a rural back ground.

The last such event was held at Pune on 06 May 2017, where the Chief Guest was the then COAS, Late General Bipin Rawat, later the first CDS of India.

In cricket, sweepers make or break games. While we tend to drool over the attacking phase of the game, sweepers are at the heart of a team’s solidity, especially if you don’t want to be helplessly conceding fours.

Notably, when the biggest cricket teams play, top bookmakers like Betway (available after you download the Betway app and install it) have teams with strong sweepers as favorites to win.

Indeed, the lovable game of cricket has seen many eminent sweepers come and go. But which sweepers have eternally cemented their legacy and stamped their names in the sands of time?

1. Andy Flower

Andy Flower was one of the most notable names in Zimbabwean cricket. His batting skills were second to none, and he’s statistically the greatest batsman in his country’s history. One of his most prominent attributes is the use of the reverse sweep.

In 2001, Andy was ranked as the best batsman in the world. He was a wicketkeeper for the Zimbabwe national team for a decade. Andy could bat on any surface irrespective of the speed, and only the most skilled bowlers stood a chance against him. Indian fans would best commemorate him for his heroics in the 1999 World Cup.

2. Mushfiqur Rahim

Spinners are renowned for using their rotation technique to get the batsman out. Well, as long as it isn’t Mushfiqur Rahim. The Bangladeshi will counter them with one of the most notorious shots in cricket, the sweep. He’s a master of the orthodox and slog sweep.

Aside from the sweep, he had many other batting techniques in his arsenal, and he’s one of his country’s best batters of all time. 

Rahim made his international debut, lining up against England at the notable age of 16, and has been shaping his batting skills since then. One of the most prominent periods of his career was in the 2010 test against India, where he scored the quickest century by a Bangladeshi.

He holds many records in his country, such as being the only Bangladeshi player to win 150 international matches. Mushfiqur is the only batsman in Test cricket to score double hundreds. He’s also the highest individual scorer in Test cricket for his country.

3. Sarfaraz Ahmed

Sarfaraz Ahmed hasn’t done much to warrant himself as one of cricket’s all-time greats, but he did just enough to be known as a formidable sweeper. He could time the bowler’s throws and deliver a sweep that slices through the wind. Sarfaraz is a right-handed wicketkeeper batsman. 

He was central to the conquests of the Pakistani team that went home with the ICC World Twenty20 in India. They defeated the home country, their arch-rival, to lift the trophy. Sarafraz became the team’s ODI captain soon after and its Test captain later.

He led the team to the Champion trophy in 2017 and is the youngest Pakistani player to have received the Sitara-i-Imtiaz. The Sitara-i-Imtiaz is the third highest civilian honor in his country, and only notable individuals receive it. Sarfaraz Ahmed played 198 test crickets and 156 ODI matches in his career, scoring over 8000 runs.

4. AB De Villers

AB De Villers represents South Africa at international levels. He played at the top level for 15 years and is unarguably one of his country’s finest cricket talents. Therefore, it’s no surprise that he won the ICC ODI Player of the Year award three times.

He’s an outstanding batman who mastered the sweep-shot technique. Villers initially played as a wicket-keeper-batsman before becoming a prominent batsman, playing mostly in the middle order.

His nicknames were Mr.360 degree due to his all-around ability and Superman because of his acrobatic prowess.

He can hit the defensive sweep, the reverse sweep, the conventional sweep, and many other shot types you could imagine with insane accuracy. ABD is also able to play different shot types at will. His unpredictability with batting is why he’s many bowlers desist his presence.

AB De Villers has notched more than 8,000 runs in ODI and Test cricket, averaging fifty per game. One of his most famous nicknames is also the “Lionel Messi” of cricket.

5. Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar has climbed the highest stage and reached the peak of cricket. Calling him one of the best batters in history would be an understatement; he’s unarguably one of the greatest cricketers ever. 

With over 33,000 runs in both ODI and test cricket, he’s the cricketer with the most runs in history.

His most preferred variant of the sweep shot is the paddle, and when a master does it, it feels different. Combined with other shot types in his repertoire, he wreaked havoc on teams around the globe. He was also a fine bowler and turned up whenever India needed him.

Indian cricket fans adore him and nickname him “The God of Cricket.” Wisden included him in an all-time cricket XI in 2013 and is a member of the ICC Cricket hall of fame. He played his last Test and cricket match in 2013.

Conclusion

The sweep shot, if executed perfectly, is one of the most effective shots in cricket, and mastering it requires repetition. 

Many players are renowned for their use of the technique, but some edge out others. These five players are the best five sweepers of all time.

Find out what the online casino phenomenon is all about. Why are such gaming portals in great demand among different categories of players? How to win real money at Pin Up online casino?

How to Win at Pin-Up Casino: Tips for Beginners

Any online casino in India is a relatively risky virtual gambling platform where anything can happen. Although it attracts the idea of ​​winning big money, you should not forget that this is a game of chance, in which you can lose. Luckily, there are some tips on how to win at Pin-Up Casino, one of the most popular casinos in India, that will significantly increase your chances of winning.

Features of the game on the site of the online casino

Before you begin playing for real cash, it is essential to carefully consider the choice of a casino and read the conditions under which it operates. Now on the Internet, you can find many online casinos that offer players a wide range of privileges and many types of gambling for every taste. But not all casinos are safe. Here it is essential to pay attention to whether the gaming site is licensed. For example, a fairly popular portal in India, the Pin Up casino, has a special license, which confirms that its activities do not contradict the country’s current legislation. What does it give the players? It’s simple: when playing in such a casino, you don’t have to worry that something will happen to your account, and you will lose all your money.

Online Indian casino, like all other gaming portals, allows players to gamble for real money. Unlike real establishments, the odds of succeeding here are much higher. This is because many games need to be regulated by the casino itself. That is, the game portal cannot influence the result. It all depends solely on your luck and skill in playing online slot machine.

Tips on how to win at the Pin Up

Having decided on a reliable and safe casino, you can start playing. Here are some tips to help you increase your chances of winning:

  1. Bet on the most profitable games. Keep in mind that casinos always have a fixed or variable percentage of profits, so they always win. Thus, to win, it is important to choose those games in which the online casino edge for money is lower.
  2. Before placing bets, learn how to play. Some casinos usually offer free practices that allow players to practice different betting strategies depending on their results.
  3. Accept the benefit of promotional and bonus offers from casinos. Many gambling establishments offer a casino registration bonus. It can be free spins, free spins, or other chips. Using such bonuses, you do not lose anything.
  4. Bet only on what you win. This will allow you to manage your funds perfectly. For example, if you bet $100 and win $100, then play only for this amount, as you can be guaranteed to get 100% profit in casino slots.
  5. Try to bet small. Dosing the number of your bets guarantees you more gaming sessions and less investment.

Do not forget that gambling can harm a person, so try to control yourself or set a fixed budget for yourself. Self-control is the key to a successful game.
