It is an administrative position not an academic one and I was well aware of that. I was not asking for a fashion expert, in fact administrative positions are always better served by competent administrators, like an IAS officer with a lifetime of experience. Please don't defend the...
Dear Levina (obvious pun intended to point out Smriti Irani's utter stupidity)
Not sure how your KV education makes any difference. Although I did go to private schools, I have definitely studied at govt institutes for what it's worth. That's not the point here. The point here is whether we...
Talk is cheap, actions matter. There have been quite a few wars between India and Pakistan. How many times did you support Pakistan? Or are you talking about "moral support"?
I expressed my reservations when Smriti Irani was given the HRD ministry. But even I did not expect that she would be such a disaster. What a joker she has turned out to be, more of a twitter troll than a cabinet minister. She should stay away from twitter for her own good, better to remain...
There is no such thing as principle in international diplomacy. It is always about benefits. Maybe a seat for China in MTCR in exchange of India's NSG membership can be worked out?
I am from Assam and we also don't care about what others eat. While most Hindus in Assam don't eat beef (although almost all of them are non vegetarians otherwise), no one really cares if someone else does. Brittle "religious feelings" that get hurt so often are mostly found in North India. BTW...
Actually China has been trying to get into MTCR for a long time. So I would not be surprised if they use it as a bargaining chip. MTCR for them and NSG for us, win-win for everyone (except Pak) :D
Didn't India get a unanimous NSG waiver in 2008 for the nuclear deal? While Modi's efforts are commendable, I wouldn't say it is a sudden transformation, rather a continuous process.
Modi is just continuing with the work done by previous govt. All these are by products of the nuclear deal conceived and signed during MMS period, something BJP and left opposed at that time. Denying him visa was stupid from the US and I am sure they realized it soon enough. As soon as he became...
Good interview of Raghuram Rajan on NDTV, he should stay for another term.

Ha ha I knew it as soon as I saw the pic.
I have met him in real life and he is a very intelligent person. It's amazing how much he has to dumb himself down to sell his program to the hyper-nationalist crowd. But he is doing a great job at it and taking home perhaps the biggest paycheck in...
The joke is on you fool. Too much of bhakti has gone to your head. I am an Indian national, I can comment on anything I like. I am not blinded by your pseudo rashtravad.
So the rashtravadi govt actually backed his plea to go home. So much nationalism. Bharat mata ki jai!
Imagine the outrage from rashtravadis including Mr. 56 inch strong man if they were in the opposition, many would have received one way tickets to Pakistan and Italy. :lol:
