This was finally accepted by the United States. <br /><br />Pakistan received the first batch of F-16 aircraft in January 1983, and he wrote a letter to the president about the task given to him.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058997155175484280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-39887532876807400732010-06-16T20:54:33.360+10:002010-06-16T20:54:33.360+10:00According to Air Chief Marshal (retd) Shamim, he w...According to Air Chief Marshal (retd) Shamim, he was called by the then president Gen Zia Ul haq in 1979 to discuss air defence of the nuclear assets in Kahuta. Gen Zia had reliable information that India was planning to attack and destroy Kahuta. <br /><br />He says he told the president that Kahuta was an indefensible site because it was at three minutes flying time from the border. The reaction time was about eight minutes and by the time the PAF aircraft would reach the area the enemy would have completed the job and would be safe in their territory. <br /><br />Gen Zia asked how could the most vital deterrent in the country’s armoury be defended and the answer was to acquire most modern aircraft and advanced weapons and the PAF would destroy India’s advanced nuclear facility at Trombay, if they embarked upon this rash course of action.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058997155175484280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-66695847213704394372010-06-16T20:53:50.666+10:002010-06-16T20:53:50.666+10:00Threat to destroy Indian N-plant stopped attack on...Threat to destroy Indian N-plant stopped attack on Kahuta<br />Threat to destroy Indian N-plant stopped attack on Kahuta<br />By Iftikhar A.

Hence, they started assigning Portuguese names to the newly converted groups.<br /><br /> Names like D’Souza, D’Silva and Pereira were given based on the names of priests or sponsors who carried out the conversions,’’ added Fr Pereira. <br /><br />The policies of the Portuguese rulers resulted <br />in the latter’s eviction by the Marathas who won a war against them in 1739. <br /><br /><br /> Fr Pereira does not agree that Catholics got a fillip under the British rule. “In fact, the British were Protestant and therefore anti-Catholic. <br /><br />Moreover, they took away large tracts of land belonging to local Catholic populations. Importantly, the local Christian population also disliked the Portuguese as they were laid-back rulers.’’ <br /><br />He also touched upon modern history by mentioning how Cardinal Valerian Gracious was the first Indian to head the Bombay Archdiocese in 1950. “After Independence, then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru decided that no outside power would decide the appointment of a religious head in this country.’’Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058997155175484280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-47110574368482735682010-06-15T12:53:01.281+10:002010-06-15T12:53:01.281+10:00Historical records are available, which state that...Historical records are available, which state that in 1321, four missionaries were killed in Thane and buried in St Thomas Church, Sopara, whereas Portuguese merchant Vasco Da Gama discovered India in 1498 and came to Bombay in 1534, said Fr Pereira. <br /><br /><br /> Portugal ruled the Mumbai Metropolitan Region only from 1534. The territory was under the control of the Sultan of Gujarat who sought protection from the Portuguese against attack by the Mughals in exchange for the territory. <br /><br /><br /> Under Portuguese rule, missionaries got protection and infrastructure to carry out evangelism. “They built large churches, whose ruins can still be found in Chaul (currently Rev Danda), Thane and other places to project their greatness.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058997155175484280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-55174940989691093232010-06-13T15:12:18.639+10:002010-06-13T15:12:18.639+10:00Katie
