Kerjiriwal has turned AAP into a cult of personality due to his PM ambitions, and thus the party has suffered tremendously. For example, why are they continuing to put Kejriwal center-stage when he is not running for CM? It looks like Bihar all over again, they learned NOTHING from BJP's...
And where is all the money going to come for so many fighter lines?
FGFA and S-400 will take a chunk out of the budget, and the Rafales don't come cheap. Gripen is more expensive than F-16s and Gripen E is still 5-6 years away.
The banning of Finnmecannia hurt Gripen's prospects. If they don't...
Owaisi is a fraud by nature. He and Kujiwaala make a good pair.
He is perfectly aware that he and his party will never be able to hold real power outside of Hyderabad, so instead he acts a spoiler by threatening to split the muslim vote bank in exchange for political favors. This has been...
China has gotten to where it is by acting through pragmatism, the opposite of Pakistan. If opposing India becomes too costly for them they will yield, just like they did with the 2008 waiver, abandoning Pakistan in the process.
China initially claimed India's accession was not going to be part...
This talk about F-16, F-35 seems pointless unless CISMOA and BECA are signed. Without which no American jets have a chance. I expected some movement or talk about these during Modi's US visit, but to no avail. I have not heard any movement on either of these key agreements in some while, so far...
Markets are actually up after Rajan resignation, evidently nobody but some bootlickers and presstitutes view this as an inherently bad turn of evens. Private Sector and Investors have rejected his leadership. He was overhyped and under-delivered. There are dozens of more qualified and better...
This honestly should have been the first bullet train project pursued. The higher ticket costs could be passed onto tourists if domestic demand couldn't catch up.
But the Japanese-loan deal was too good to pass up I suppose.

As we approach the July date for the first squadron of Tejas, expect there to be more 'pushes' and presstitute nonsense.
If Tejas makes a good impression on IAF, one can only hope that another manufacturing line run by Private Sector can get the green signal. 40 Tejas planes rolling out a...
We will see about that. US presidents are actually debriefed and prepared for their role even before election date, right after they are confirmed for the ballot which is little more than a month away from today. Hilary, the front-runner, is already very well experienced with executive...
Doesn't even have an AESA, and MICA can't compete with Python/Derby missile combo both of which will be present on Tejas Mk1A. Recent comments by IAF suggest performance is no longer their primary concern, but project management and timely procurement of the fighter.
That being said Mirage-2000...
Don't crush my hopes of seeing Rafale contract signed after India joins NSG like that :cray:.
Would be funny if FGFA deal is signed before Rafale. Even more-so if it 's the promised US fighter-deal, that some on here talk about. Although I doubt any announcement on that front until post-2016 US...
NSG membership has to do with convincing China to acede. I don't think announcing export of Brahmos missiles to Vietnam or purchase of Rafales on the eve of NSG is a move this government would want to take, Chinese still seem ambiguous on their decision. New government seems far more aware of...
Might be waiting after NSG meeting for announcement. I have a feeling many foreign deals and exports such as Brahmos to Vietnam are under similar pressures with these international agreements and diplomacy, even if they are finalized.
China’s government fabricates about 488 million social media comments a year -- nearly the same as one day of Twitter’s total global volume -- in a massive effort to distract its citizens from bad news and sensitive political debates, according to a study.
Three scholars led by Gary King, a...
So the coercion through the 'corruption probe' worked then?
Funny that we get this report just after that bit of news. Dassault would like this over before the CBI can scrutinize this deal any further.
Rumors are indeed rumors.
I'll take everything with a grain of salt until they are actually signed. I doubt India is going to buy F-16s owned by Paks or get locked into the F-35, which has a massive backlog of orders and might not even be possible to deliver to the IAF until post-2025. Not to...
Thanks for posting. We won't be seeing any mention of this on the Leftist Media, just more crap on Kejrwals latest ramblings and twitter posts.
Also paging @Abingdonboy for comment who doesn't seem to think this BJP government is doing any work.
Priyanka is a nobody with another Gandhi last name and nothing else, the Dynasty has failed everywhere else so far since 2014. No reason to believe it will magically start working.
Prashant Kishor has already failed Congress in Kerala and Assam if the pre-poll results are to be believed. Two...
