    Women in Islam are no better than footwear, says BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj

    Well, he was mostly right on that one. On conservative Islam anyway. What muslim women achieve is despite their grooming, not because of it. Why he had to say those words is not up for judgement here. But he is basically right. Just ask the ladies in the Land of two mosques.

    ‘China won’t let India gain entry into NSG’

    India already has an NSG waiver. Fuel supply is assured for existing or planned projects already. With more countries like Australia yet to even seal deals for more fuel. India's entry into NSG is only a bonus. There is no reason to expend political capital at this point for such a symbolic...

    Inaccurate. Tunch maal was a reference to Meenakshi Natarajan not Smriti Irani.

    Research being done on designing re-usable satellites, says ISRO scientist

    Why not simply increase life of satellites by like a 100 years? Keep charging an auxiliary battery over lifetime and raise the orbit to get it back in place. And use better battery technology, the kind in latest Tesla cars and mobiles. Why bother letting the satellite fall, collect it from sea...

    India's Micromax, once a rising star, struggles

    Thanks for the info. I did not know SriLanka had Micromax sales. These people could have easily pulled out a new design like OnePlus or Vivo and even if they were made by Chinese manufacturer, it would have saved their position in market like @amarHk says. These guys are not technology people...

    FIRST EXCLUSIVE Undoctored raw footage of anti-India event in JNU led by Kanhaiya

    What is new here? We already knew AISF was calling Afzal Guru's execution as wrongful execution. Same as Maqbool Bhatt's. The Azadi slogans seems similar to what Kanhaiya gave after returning from jail.

    Mr. Obama, we are not ‘free riders’

    Moreover the article is full or lies and half-truths. How many Syrian refugees did the Arab countries invite? When with their population density, they could have taken in practically all of the refugees. What did the coalition of 30 countries do till now, after the announcement and the surprise...

    Is the Saudi peg on the verge of breaking?

    There is profit per barrel at $20. But the budget ran into deficit even at $35. You are right about other revenues, there is no taxation. So to achieve current budget or even half of it, Saudi has to pump more than thrice/twice the amount they produced at $100 oil. Foreign labor is just about...

    India's Micromax, once a rising star, struggles

    Micromax phones suck big time. They would be sullying 'Made In India' brand if they sold phones outside. In any case, what they do is just rebrand Chinese phones. Naturally they would be thrown out of business when OEM's enter the fray.

    Is the Saudi peg on the verge of breaking?

    For a country with no revenue source other than oil, even a trillion dollar surplus won't be enough. When oil price falls down and budgets run into deficit, they will have to start selling assets of their sovereign wealth fund. Or pick a worse alternative called borrowing, in an environment...

    27% of Muslims are very militant: Donald Trump

    Whatever you say Trump captures people's imaginations and fears. He was true when he said muslims celebrated 9/11 for example. Many people have hardline views, even in India, such as his. They want or don't care if militants' families get attacked(war-crime notwithstanding), especially if it...

    Got more love and affection in India than Pakistan: Shahid Afridi

    Naa... Always remember: 'Hinduon ki niyat hi aisi hai' I have to apologize for the gross mistake. The above quote was from Sohail Tanveer. Afridi, at the same occassion said, Indian's hearts are not as wide as Pakistanis. The provokation for the comments is that no Pakistani player was bought...
