Title

Bharat-Rakshak.com - The Consortium of Indian Military Websites ::

Description

How did this Idea of the Consortium of Military Websites come up? The BHARAT RAKSHAK project was the brainchild of a few Indians who decided to put up websites related to India's Defence on the Internet.

One of the first sites on Indian Defence on the Internet was by Seetal Ramesh Patel at Geocities.Com - which was set up in early 1996. Soon after, Seetal's site was joined by R Chattopadhyay's site on the Indian Air Force {Bharatiya Vayu Sena} which was set up in November 1996 and Nandan Dharwadkar's site on the Indian Navy {Bharatiya Nau Sena} which had come up about the same time.

In January 1997, Seetal proposed to create the Consortium of Indian Military Websites merging his Space site along with the sites on the Navy and the Air Force. With the idea that Seetal would take care of the Space Site, and R Chattopadhyay & Nandan take care of their respective branches, the search for someone to maintain an Army and Missile site ended with the inclusion of Harshvardhan Vedak (a.k.a. Harsh) and Rakesh Koshy who had earlier showed enthusiasm & interest in the defence site concept. Seetal proposed naming the consortium, Hind Rakshak, under a common aegis of 'Rakshak' site. It was R Chattopadhyay who thought of naming the association Bharat Rakshak, which everybody quickly developed an affinity for. And Bharat Rakshak continues to be the name till date. For those who are not aware, the words Bharat Rakshak translates as India's Defenders.
