The bigger question is how naive can the State Dept. be! Not the last time that the State Dept. has been led by their noses. In stead of playing one enemy against another (Iran & Iraq), Bush Jr. not only did Iran's bidding by removing Saddam from power at a great great cost to his country, but...

I have been calling for abrogating IWT for long on this forum! It has been disaster for India even without these types of attacks. India would do well by starting to link our commitment to IWT with Pakistani good behavior. And then gradually abrogate the whole fu<king thing off! That will, at...

Their's got to be the only belief system that plays victim-card and talk menacingly about their numerical superiority at the same time. Claiming sole ownership of "path to heaven" while nonchalantly dispatching anybody to "hell" who disagrees with them! I mean, look at how the dude is...

Funny how he says the assassination of Rajeev Gandhi by LTTE as a result of bad karma but forgets the assassination of Premadasa, the same dude who supplied the weapons to LTTE even as India fought them (as the OP mentions) by the same guys, mere 2 years later. The real tragedy is that Sri...

In addition, certain crops like sugarcane are biennial or sometimes triennial - depending on the overall fertility and availability of water - which means you get 2 or 3 annual harvests for the same sugarcane crop. Not only does this impede crop-rotations but also messes up fertility of the...

Exactly! Pakistan has already tried everything that it can. Trying to wrest control of Kashmir through regular army - Check Trying to wrest control of Kashmir through proxies - Check Sponsoring cross-border terrorism in J&K - Check Sponsoring cross-border terrorism in other states - Check...

I really think the dude is on some quality stuff - the same stuff that he promises to get rid of from his country. Why else would you pick on the ONE guy who could/would stand by with you in your fight against a well-known bully in the region?

He was bound/allowed by his religious duty, wasn't he? Although India don't have child welfare benefits that encourage that many children, it is basically the same in India too - reproducing beyond one's means and bringing the whole quality of life of the entire community/country.

Actually, I like the direct conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel -- assisted by Solar power, than taking an indirect & messier route of algae-to-fuel. http://phys.org/news/2016-07-breakthrough-solar-cell-captures-carbon.html This technology is for sure at nascent stage but I think it offers a...

Algae-extract based fuel is not a new thing and has been in works for decades now with Israel and other western countries. So far, none of them have been able to up the production to industrial scales yet. So I have my doubts on the viability of the technology itself. Exactly! It would be...

The fact that they (Pakistanis) need an external threat like India/Hindus/Modi to stay united, speaks a lot about the current version of Pakistan they have!

Never mind the silence of the 'seculars' for what was atleast a good presence of mind by Modi. But imagine the outrage by the same 'flock' if the cameraman was actually swept away by the waters that Modi had 'personally' released with the press of a button!

Plus (if I understand it correctly), it needs a specific minimum velocity to start a scramjet engine which won't be easy for civilian aircrafts to achieve unless they are pushed through the speed envelope by a rocket. That handicap, I think, will limit scramjet to mainly military + civilian...

I believe linking Farmers directly with consumers across India by freeing them from the clutches of leeching APMC's and the middlemen will do wonders to Indian farmers and might also help control inflation. The present system benefits only the middlemen and is one of major factors in compelling...

Is that true? I thought countries with vast Indian immigrants USA/UK/Canada were more likely to be second.

So far, there is nothing to suggest that Indians were involved in the leak - be it during UPA or NDA. On the contrary, the initial reports suggest the leak happened at the DCNS end. But anyway, he needs to lay off and stop politicizing the issue! It is also amazing how Indians (both in the...

India is not a South East Asian country so I don't quite understand how anybody can imply that it was Indians that leaked it while also clearly stating that "the datas were taken out of France in 2011 by a former Navy officer,that was back then a contractor for DCNS".

Absolutely. I wouldn't put it past him. Gadkari's and Kejriwal's - such contrasting ways to curb pollution. One wants to build signal free roads/highways/e-tolls to curb pollution, while the other wants to ban vehicles and has nothing else to show for his (mis)rule! But hey, at least...

And from car-sale surge in Delhi to get around the odd-even 'drama'! Goes on to show how dimwitted Kejriwal's policies can be!

Whether India develops under Modi or not, no dog worth its salt can point fingers (or paws, if you may) at the PM and say he is corrupt! Even the staunchest of his opponents take that as a given and are resigned to dig for dirt elsewhere. For me, that is development. A real positive change.
