Remembering Mogal
The auditorium at the Centre of Excellence for Ethics, Leadership and Behavioural Studies (CELABS), Cochin, under the Southern 
Naval Command was recently christened as Firdaus Hall to commemorate posthumous Shaurya Chakra awardee Lt Cdr Firdaus Mogal (pictured), informs his uncle Dr Hoshang Mogal. Firdaus had perished at sea while saving the lives of his colleagues (see "Submariner’s supreme sacrifice,” Parsiana, September 21, 2010).
The Indian Navy’s Facebook page in a post dated November 8, 2017 recounts the events that led to Firdaus’ brave deeds and states that his "sense of idealism... reinforces the Indian Navy’s core values of duty, honor and courage.” They hope that the commemoration will "inculcate the essence of leadership, service ethos, teamwork and selflessness in future generation of Indian Navy leaders.”
