Using the above, the car moves forward with not an inch of back sliding
I faced serious issues with this technique with santro. On hand brake, when I press the clutch fully to engage the gear, somehow the hand brake gets disengaged and vehicle slides down . Thats why I prefer the half clutch method. Let me see if this works for other vehicles.

Good topic though
