Not fsayed. It was @Rangila. Now he will claim the credit for abolishing VAT in Delhi. One more item for #JoKahaSoKiya

Just have a look at the satellite imagery of India's western border that is not actually far from the Indus and tell the people living there that they are being over-dramatic. The issue of water is a lot more serious than that. I think you guys have taken IWT for granted and don't realize how...

Exactly! IWT is far more in favor of Pakistan than India and I despise Nehru far more for giving away India's water rights on a platter than his handling of Kashmir accession! What is a joke is that we allow Pakistan to violate the very sanctity of our democracy, the "Parliament Building" with...

Absolutely no problem if this port can't capture international trans-shipment. It would still do wonders if it can just handle Indian imports and exports. It's criminal that Indian businesses are forced to rely on the port in Colombo to export and import her own stuff - unnecessarily escalating...

Can somebody do the honors of thread-banning our beloved brother @rangeela? At least till he comes up with another handle - @satrangi or @ramesh or something like that. I am really starting to enjoy this thread but it is getting difficult to sift quality posts through the same repetitive...

Brilliant piece, mate! The PETA can't do anything about the Spaniards killing the bull in such a brutal manner, but want Indians to let go off their traditions which aren't even half as brutal and are actually meant to serve a purpose. In fact, many Indian rural folk, who can't afford to rear...

Northern Karnataka is much more drought-affected than is reported -- every year -- but it never gets the attention that it should. Much less the "water trains", the kind that Latur gets delivered. Heck, the region is very close to Latur geographically and not surprisingly faces similar drought...

Most of Karnataka is served by South Western Zone, Hubli.

Actually Israelis have been doing it far more consistently and more methodically. In fact, Israel is the only country/region in the world that has seen net positive tree/forest coverage as compared to 100 years in the past. I think and I repeat, even before any afforestation can start, the land...

Half of them? You must be kidding. Look at the tall and frail saplings being planted without any form of support out in the open. It would be a miracle if any of them will still be standing alive till the next year. That is if they don't wither away due to lack of water or get washed away in...

Very very good move! I have always maintained that APMCs have been the culprits for farmers' plight. It is amazing how these APMC mafia were blatantly allowed to exploit the farmers, institutionalize hoarding and jack up the food prices! Amazing that nobody went after them for so long. Not...

And alone!

It is actually amazing how we have allowed the dynasty to rule us for so long, with so much ease, with absolutely no consideration for performance or accountability. It took Modi a stellar performance as a CM, an enormous number of scandals by UPA1/UPA2 (many of which involved dozens of...

Putting the a88holes that masterminded the 26/11 will be a good start! Will China allow action against the well-known 26/11 masterminds across the border? Or continue to cockblock resolution against them merely on technical grounds?

That would be a very smart thing to do. Instead of taking him on directly without solid legal front and incite backlash by his followers and libtards alike, extradite him to BD and let them handle him. They have a very valid reason to go after him too! Will earn instant good will with BD and...

Welcome back mate. Long time!

If the sugar lobby is too strong to take head on, Modi can counter that by subsidizing pulses and raising the MSP for pulses. As things stand now, there is no incentive to grow pulses (to my knowledge) and so many incentives for sugarcane instead. Imports, just like contract farming in...

Might be good for keeping the prices down in the short term and winning elections at hand. But not necessarily a good long term proposition, mate. What we are doing is essentially subsidizing our farmers and providing them with MSP to grow water-thirsty and commercial crops like sugarcane at...

I have said this all along - even if Tejas as an aircraft was rendered ineffective or failed totally (it doesn't appear that way), the country would have benefited immensely from the experience of LCA program, from which newer and more successful programs can emerge. In other words, India had...

Her words are too good to be true. Hint of sarcasm? 5000 crore jobs for a total population of 130 crores? Even if she meant 5000 crore package for textile industry, that is not much really. I sense a rap on the knuckles delivered for Irani - although I really wanted her to be given a ministry...
