    Solar cell discovery opens a new window to powering tomorrow's cities

    Good! But until somebody figures out a more efficient and practical way to convert heat directly to electricity, what the thermistors already do today (but in a very inefficient way), we are not going anywhere! Amazing to think that despite mind-boggling advances made in other fields, we spend...

    Fearing chinese links,Indian troops on China border told to format smartphones, delete 42 apps

    I don't know about other apps mentioned in the OP, but I can personally vouch for truecaller being a malicious app! Once I enabled TRUECALLER on my phone merely by accident, now my phone is being flooded with spam texts that I never subscribed for nor do I have any use of! You can uninstall...

    IS QUAD THE FIRST STEP TO AN ASIAN NATO?

    You sure as hell are right that Quad, right now, is nothing but cheap words and a lot of hot air. But if China keeps up with its own "expressed action" in land-grabbing, island building and general double standards when it comes to respecting sovereignty and fighting terror, even the most...

    Tamil Nadu to Set up India’s 1st Offshore Desalination Unit, Cost an Estimated Rs 2000 Crore!

    While I agree with your basic premise of planting trees, building reservoirs and recharging the ground water, I think there's enough scope to try more than one solution to tackle the same problem. The OP doesn't talk about this being proposed as the only solution anyway. This is the first time...

    Five star journalists, their silence over threats to Rohit Sardana and their unbridled hypocrisy

    Yup! Hypocrisy of the highest order -- especially when the seculars in the whole nation are drowning in rage induced faeces-flinging about how the "nationalists" are taking over the country and how their freedom of creative expression to glorify a tyrant invader and to name a movie denigrating...

    Dawoodi Bohra women write to PM Narendra Modi against Female Genital Mutilation

    So MGM is all fine and dandy and a measure of development of an "area"?

    Can somebody translate please? Even a brief one would do. Thanks!

    Ready to alter economic corridor route: China

    As long as we are speculating, why not link our own East-West Corridor (Mumbai, Surat/Kandla, Kolkata) with Nathu La and offer the Chinese a ready-made access to Western seaboard in Kandla directly? Or for that matter, extend Delhi-Mumbai corridor to connect Shipki La in Himachal?

    Poor kids lured with free education, converted to Islam; nine held in Telangana

    All that money would have better been spent to educate poor kids from their own community and to feed them! Don't these people cite Sachar Report to claim reservation owing lower literacy rates in their community?

    India joining Quad will do more harm than good

    Respectfully disagree. I don't have much to comment on the Quad, it is early days and nothing is clear about it's charter. But on the contrary, it is the Chinese that have been kicking sand in India's face without any provocation. These are the same people who routinely go out of their way to...

    China blocks US-backed move to sanction JeM chief Masood Azhar at UN, India disappointed | world-new

    This :tup: I see this as a calculated move by India despite knowing fully well that China will cockblock resolution yet again in favor of a known Pakistani terrorist - who was released in broad daylight in exchange for hundreds of Indian hostages of a hijacked Air India plane. This is not...

    Why America will not leave Afghanistan for many decades or ever!

    I for one, as somebody who wishes well for US, want the US to get the hell out of there. None of the reasons that you mentioned are worth the lives of thousands of slain soldiers and the trillions that the US is spending down the drain to police a bunch of unpoliceable ingrates. Try and see who...

    YEAH, GST and Demo were really bad

    There in lies the problem. Congress and other parties have a CAPTIVE votebank which can walk a hundred miles to vote if asked to vote after a Friday sermon (it doesn't matter whether that vote is for performance or personal benefits). And they make up close to 30% of the total electorate...

    YEAH, GST and Demo were really bad

    I don't think that the economy is doing bad but what worries me is that BJP, despite biting the bullet on multiple occasions for doing what is right rather than what is popular, is losing the perception battle. Or so it appears. First, the Gandhi clan, who authorized generous loan grants to...

    Caitlan Coleman tells of forced abortion, disputes official account of her rescue in Pakistan

    Or better still - right next to Pakistan Military Academy compound in Abbottabad. That would be hilarious, like old times, don't you think?

    These 3 Gruesome Murders Won’t be a Prime-Time Debate Topic on National Media. Because They Don’t Su

    Are you even for real? There were no bullets here - only a dead soldier that was only trying to do his job and got killed by some Bangladeshi cattle smugglers. And lowlife scums here don't even hesitate to take the side of Bangladeshi smugglers and think that the soldier had it coming for...

    Caitlan Coleman breaks silence on captivity, says 'was in Pakistan for more than a year'

    Yep, I can't say I am surprised. And to all those trying to make it look like a conspiracy, get some perspective - after all, OBL was found right next to Pakistani West Point. It is still possible that the abduction itself might have happened without Pakistani state involvement, but this...

    Renewable Energy Share Hits All-Time High In India — 13.2% of Electricity

    They need to utilize rooftops of all Railway Stations in India for Solar Power Generation while moving ahead with Electrification of all public transportation - starting with Railways. Private electrical vehicle ownership will follow once there is sufficient charging infrastructure.

    Indian Political Corner | All Updates & Discussions.

    This is exactly what I mean. BJP of late, has been making so many unforced errors or failing to seize an opportunity when it presents itself like in the case of Jallikattu. What made it worse was that BJP, for all I know, was for Jallikattu but still fcuked it up with their pussyfooting. I...

    Court officials attacked in Karnataka for stopping illegal slaughterhouse

    As much as I want that to be true, the state leaders of BJP are even more clueless, incompetent, fight among themselves and many of them come with a baggage of corruption. Last time, Yeddy sank BJP by forming his own party, this time he will sink it by being part of it. People of Karnataka...
