And it hardly matters what judgement someone gives living in some distant part of the world. People who come here and live here, would know. I know exactly what I have written and its a fact. You do not know what happened after the Assam violence. You do not know what the real problems of West Bengal(I live nearby WB). You do not the ground realities of Kerela(I have worked there for years). For someone who reads newspapers and has a big mouth, I know exactly what I am saying. I know because I have been there. So save your statistics.

Dear my schooling has been in Sainik School, Goalpara Assam (1993-2000). I have spent 20 years of my life in Assam, 3 in Nagaland, 3 in Vishakhapatnam, 2 in Cochin...unfortunately was never posted in J&K. So you save your...stats to yourself..the last time I was in Assam was 22nd April 2013...and I can bet you have no idea whats happening there...so stop lecturing.

Then u r probably a sadist and everywhere you see misery and death. No, you can't bet on what I know about whats happening there. If you are so concerned then stop whining on net and get back there and work for it. I have seen whiners like you all my life, people who really care ,work here and get things done. So, stop the BS. Shucks!!

I do not have to boast on the net on what I am doing on the ground to check Bangladeshi infiltration into the NE. Just keep reading news papers to see what's happening... I assume you are a Bangladeshi sympathizer...and there are many...we can deal with one more.

Russia Puts Finishing Touches on Indian Aircraft Carrier
Topic: Russia-India partnership


ARKHANGELSK, May 15 (RIA Novosti) - The aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya has been put in a dry dock at Russia’s Sevmash shipyard for “cosmetic” repairs ahead of final sea trials and delivery to the Indian navy later this year, the company said.

“The work is underway to repaint the hull under the waterline,” said Sergey Novoselov, head of defense export projects at Sevmash.

In addition, much of the interior finish has yet to be completed, the official said.

Special attention will be dedicated to the cabins for the commanding officers of the vessel, which will be refitted with better DEX-O-TEX fireproof flooring, new wall panels, more comfortable furniture and sophisticated audio- and video equipment.

The Vikramaditya is scheduled to begin sea trials in the White Sea in July. The warship will continue the trials in the Barents Sea in August-September to be delivered to India in early December.

The warship, previously known as the Admiral Gorshkov, is a Project 1143.4 or modified Kiev class aircraft carrier commissioned by the Soviet navy in 1987 and decommissioned in 1996 as it was too expensive to operate on a post-Soviet budget.

India and Russia signed the $947 million deal in 2004 for the purchase of the carrier, but the original 2008 delivery deadline has already been delayed twice, pushing up the cost of refurbishing the ship to $2.3 billion.

India has already started taking delivery of MiG-29K naval fighter aircraft for the Vikramaditya.
