Doesn't make sense. By evening today, the exit polls will be out & the results in a couple of days. Surely his reputation matters more, not like anyone in Bihar will be influenced by his opinion.

Bhalla is neither an idiot (he predicted 2014 fairly well) nor is he in the anti-Modi camp. My point is simple, how the heck are so many people reading this election so very differently? Weird.

Did you read Surjit Bhalla's opinion? :eek: No Proof Required: Spot the difference between Delhi and Bihar elections | The Indian Express I simply can't wrap my head about how these opinions are so widely different. It's :crazy:

What about this chap? Also this man with the glass eye who pretty much saved democracy in India.

Yeah. Take the case of Gajendra Chauhan & the FTII. No one has made the case that this guy is some sort of an evil monster, the best they can come up with is that he is not the most competent or that he lacks the necessary qualifications (whatever that might be) to head the institute. And what...

The headline used is telling. "Intolerance has always existed" suggests that someone is making excuses for it being present now. What Bibek Debroy said was this - "In the intellectual circuit there has always been that intolerance. Let's not pretend otherwise."

Modi may delay Israel visit Sachin Parashar,TNN | Nov 4, 2015, NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi is not in a hurry to visit Israel and will instead wait for a visit by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin to India, and possibly even his counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, before taking a call on the timing...

My post was specific only to criminal law that was brought into the discussion. You are right that parliament can bring in necessary legislation. It has nothing to do with "will", it "can not".

Poor choice for comparison. What @Sky lord said is correct. You cannot convict a man/woman on the basis of an amended law passed after the act. No criminal conviction possible in India under an ex post facto law. Even if a law is so legislated.

Not exactly the same, is it? One of that was a bed of thorns, the other....

Centralising might have been a necessity those days when a strong centre was needed. I won't blame him for that. The only blame due his way was the very bad handling of the border issue with China & the bringing in of his daughter into the congress. He gets a pass from me on his other mistakes...

Nope. That guy is Kamal Hassan.

Who the heck is "Kamla" Hassan?

What controversy? An interested party in a litigation wants to have facts that might suit his argument. Yawn, I suppose that the river is known as Bhagirathi because the British named it.......

This must have been negotiation for quite some time, some sources suggest that it was first broached some 2 years ago. This system does change the game quite a bit. It would make the sanguine assumption that there would be no consequences to a terrorist attack be not as firm an assumption...

The mention there was 10 systems, each costing about $ 500 million. This tallies with China buying 6 for about $ 3 billion. 11 billion seems too high a figure.

Not really. Look at what it does. Then think of why there are no consequences to terrorists attacks on India. Then look at this purchase again. Feel a light bulb switching on.....? :D

I would wait this one out for a little longer. While India is almost certainly looking at the S-400 purchase to be signed when Modi meets Putin, the figure mentioned here seems more than a bit excessive, We have to get more mainstream sources reporting this before you can start treating it...
