India Developing, but still a long way to go

Yes and this is the purchasing power parity figure and not the nominal GDP figure in USD...Pakistan PPP GDP is about 1.1 trillion USD now and many a times have read that Mumbai economy or for that matter Delhi NCR economy is bigger than Pakistan...which is factually incorrect.

You are correct ...if Pakistan were a state in India , it would be Number 2 in GDP overall , after Maharashtra and above Tamil Nadu
 
@Mr.Nair u hv quite diplomaticaly left out the jugular vein/atoot ang from the menu. The jingoists really need to learn from u. Anyways thnx for the tag.

I usually don't support Mr.Nair but I'm with him on this one. It has been left out because it does not have skyscrapers. The day it does, he'll be the first one to include it. I just hope he does not tag random people that time
 
Some of Indian IT campus is much better than US counter parts...

PSLV Launch view from Chennai


Congratulation ISRO.....launching 100th satellite into orbit

PSLV-C40 successfully places Cartosat-2 series satellite into sun synchronous orbit: ISRO

The 'Cartosat-2 Series' satellite launch is a follow-on mission with the primary objective of providing high resolution scene specific spot imageries

Isro to again showcase multiple-burn tech



Here are 10 facts about the ISRO launch:
  1. The 30 other satellites the PSLV will carry today include two other satellites from India and 28 satellites from six countries -- Canada, Finland, France, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.

  2. Scientists said the mission will be a unique one, since the satellites will be launched in two orbits. Thirty of the satellites will be launched in an orbit 550 km about, and one 359-km above the Earth.

  3. This will be done through what scientists call the "multiple burn technology" under which the rocket's engine is switched off and then switched on to control its height.

  4. The whole process of lift-off and the placing of satellites in two orbits will take 2 hours 21 minutes -- the longest so far. The 28-hour countdown for the launch of the PSLV started at 5.29 am on Thursday.

  5. The 710-kg earth observation satellite the PSLV will carry is the third in the Cartosat 2 series. The last satellite of the series had been launched successfully in June 2016.

  6. ISRO had brushed off speculations of sabotage after the last satellite launch failure.Scientists said a tiny but vital equipment of the rocket had failed, due to which its protective heat shield could not be separated.

  7. The heat shield of a satellite is meant to protect it from the heat generated by the friction against atmosphere during take-off.

  8. The IRNSS-1H was expected to replace one of the seven orbiting satellite of NAViC. Its launch became necessary after three atomic clocks of one satellite started malfunctioning. Atomic clocks provide navigational data, and they are crucial for a Global positioning system.

  9. NAViC, a system of seven satellites, powers India's powerful homegrown Global Positioning System.

  10. ISRO's workhorse PSLV rocket weighs nearly 320 tonnes and stands up to 44.4 meters, equivalent to a 15-storey building.

The images sent by Cartosat-2 series satellite will be useful for cartographic applications, urban and rural applications, coastal land use and regulation, road network monitoring, water distribution, creation of land use maps and change detection to bring out geographical Land Information Systems and Geographical Information System applications.
