While I agree your point on privacy, there is simply not enough space left for housing - especially for mass housing schemes in a crowded and agricultural country like India. And then, there are land acquisition issues, made more complicated by our messed up politics. Besides, flats provide a...

Well, that actually sounds a lot better than what your compatriot, Mr.Headley, did with his dozens of seemingly ordinary trips to India/Mumbai! Didn't end up well for those 160 innocent victims as a direct result of his cunningly simple recce. So yes, India has more to be concerned about even...

Last time I replied a Pakistani dude, who was bringing Vedas in an argument (where it clearly didn't belong), with a reference to Quran, they banned me. These people, even the seemingly sane ones like the one that you quoted, don't think twice pissing on others' religious scriptures, but start...

Even if their roots to India were established to be accurate, what purpose is it going to serve anyway? I think it is only going to hurt them badly if they were officially identified as foreigners despite living in Europe for millennia. In fact, they are going to be painted as targets if...

All roads that are exposed to hostile firing need to be replaced with tunnels! Not only are they safe during hostilities, the tunnels provide year round connectivity. On a side note, Indian companies should start manufacturing Tunnel Boring Machines since their usage is only going to increase...

Obviously, I am not an expert on EMALS or any similar system, so essentially a noob question. But is EMALS really that complicated a technology for India to master? Why can't India use her resources to develop it inhouse? Is India justified spending so much of her meager resources and her...

In my view, I think we shouldn't be too concerned if the Chinese PV manufacturers get the contracts provided they set up the necessary backbone infrastructure to evacuate the generated power. I am no expert on the subject, but I think PV panels just a fraction of the whole setup and easy to...

Nope, I said very clearly what my personal experience of standing at the bottom of a waterfall was like. Btw Jog falls, even when not in full flow, still has an awe factor associated with it due to the scale of those giant rock faces and the sheer depth of that gorge exposed by lack of water!

Had the good fortune and an awesome experience of standing directly beneath the water falls in Jog in one of those drought years when it was a little more than a trickle! Even as a trickle, it appeared as if the earth is closing in on you! In recent years, they seem to have enforced a...

This :tup: Despite all the shortcomings, missed deadlines, cost escalations and a few imported critical components such as engine, what India got out of the LCA project is NOT just a decent fighter but a whole array of ecosystem (including private industry participation) to design, build and...

Yup! Covering water bodies with Solar Panels seems to be the most ideal solution for me. The benefits are immense! The funny thing about Solar Panels over water bodies is that the actual generated energy is the least of the benefits. More important than the energy, you save fresh water from...

I fully agree with you on that, but what we are discussing here is NOT about some ignorant village idiots willingly licking the feet of some holy men! It is about the hapless kids (who were taken away from their parents of another religion with promise of better life and education), hung from...

I can understand why US can't rely on Solar much, but it is a crime that India hasn't done much so far. For starters, Indian Railways has literally tens of thousands of stations and buildings scattered across some of the best places for solar production in the whole world. If Railways so...

Absolutely nailed it! Wonderful analogy too!

If you had taken the first steps, perhaps the GoI would have been compelled to follow through with it's part. Without your 'first' step, speculating what GoI would have done is all conjecture at this point! But isn't it preposterous on your part to expect India to hold Plebiscite ignoring all...

Impressive scale! I had to look at these pics a dozen times to make sure they weren't some renderings or scaled models! Ugly as fcuk, but a necessary evil if we ever hope to provide housing for our masses!

Why should they? Wasn't the FIRST step to be taken up by Pakistan by vacating the occupied lands? After all, it was in India's interests to keep quiet while Pakistan was committing a strategic blunder by not following through with the necessary conditions of the UN Resolutions that would have...

REALLY? That's easy! Now watch this!

And China, which frequently goes out of its way to VETO resolutions against UN designated terrorist groups and their hosts time and again, should be praised as saviors of humanity and showered with rose petals? What a bunch of shameless hypocrites you guys are!

You really don't need very high-efficiency panels when you are spreading them over large agricultural farms - considering that there are literally billions of acres of farm land available for this purpose. Not just because of limitation of transparent panels, but also because you need some sun...
