Sudan Block : The Nerve Centre


The Sudan Block today is an iconic symbol of this Tri-Services Academy. Its Massive Dome is its most eye-catching and remarkable feature and looms over the landscape of the lush Khadakwasla estate like a colossus. The Dome has an ECC Shell lined with Pink Jodhpur Stone.

At its peak is an eight inch diameter Blue Glass Dharma Chakra. It looms over a massive roof of Taylor Tiles. The building itself is a massive, compelling presence lined with Jodhpur Stone. It has an arcade of Grey Chinchwad stone which has an Octagonal Marble Entrance Hall immediately below the dome. The inner Dome is about 70 feet high.

The marble entrance hall is the grandest feature of this remarkable building with its black polished Italian marble walls and pillars with polished Brass embellishments. It is breath taking in its impact. The effect of its architectural grandeur is enhanced manifold by the oil paintings of the martyrs of the NDA that hang there. The inner dome has a central eye in the shape of the Asoka Chakra with gay murals and painted walls (That give you the feel of Ajanta). The Sudan Block has greystone arches at its entrance gracefully offset by the pink Stone Colonnades of the first and second floor.

It has imposing stone pillars and galleries and canopied Chajjas (of the Rajput style) on its flanks. From its baconies one can get a truly breath taking view of the central terraced garden with its fountains and festive flowers.

Explained: What is Army Aviation Corps, the youngest Corps of the Indian Army

A look at the Army Aviation Corps’ history and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including in Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. Representative Image The Army Aviation Corps (AAC), the youngest Corps of the Indian Army, celebrated its 35th Corps Day on November 1. We take a look at the arm that adds an air dimension to the Army’s capabilities, its history, and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. The roots of Army Aviation Corps The origin of the AAC can be traced back to the raising of the Army Aviation wing of the Royal Air Force in India in 1942, and the subsequent formation of the first Indian Air Observation Post in August 1947. The Air Observation Post units primarily acted as artillery spotters – which are the elements that help the artillery in directing the fire and also giving air support to ground forces. In the wars of 1965 and 1971, the Air Observation Post helicop...

That time when India took half of Pakistan to make it pay for a motorcycle

In 1947, British officer Yahya Khan offered his colleague 1,000 rupees for his spiffy red motorcycle. His colleague, Sam Manekshaw, agreed. But before Khan could pay, he was off to what was going to become Pakistan. The British split its Indian colony, and things on the subcontinent have been pretty tense ever since. To top it all off, Yahya Khan didn't pay for the motorbike. But he would, even if it took almost 25 years. The Partition of India was much more than the splitting of the British Raj into two independent states. It was a catastrophic split that tore apart the country and created millions of refugees, cost millions of lives, and split the armed forces of the country in two, all based on religion. Violence erupted almost immediately between the two groups on such a large scale that much of it has never been forgotten or forgiven. Animosity continued between both sides for decades, and the two have fought war after war because of the myriad issues left unaddressed. By 1970...

India's S-400, Nuke Subs, Rafales pose a serious threat to Pak - FM Qureshi

India’s purchase of Russian S-400 air defence systems, via a deal signed last year and worth $5.43 billion, has unnerved Pakistan, with Foreign Minister Shah Mohammed Qureshi describing the S-400s as destabilising weapon systems which could affect the region's strategic stability. Delivery of the first S-400 system is likely to take place in 2020. Expressing his apprehension about the arms purchase by India, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mohammed Qureshi has called on global powers to be "mindful" of their responsibility in terms of arms supplies to the region. "The introduction of new destabilising weapon systems, such as the S-400 anti-ballistic missile system, could further accentuate challenges to strategic stability. They can encourage a misadventure by an adversary, under a false sense of security," FM Shah Mohammed Qureshi said on Wednesday in Islamabad. Last October, India inked a $5.43 billion defence contract with Russia to purchase of five S-400 air...
