@SarthakGanguly is right. My grandfather's brother was gunned down in Calcutta in 1946 in Direct Action Day, and I have heard multiple stories of how it all went down. Let me give Jinnah the benefit of doubt. He did not believe that the largest riot in the subcontinental history would go down...

As an Indian, I am an outsider to Pakistan's problems. But as an Indian, I have a vested interest in Pakistan's future prosperity. It is only a fool that desires that India to grow, and Pakistan to languish and vice versa. Such disparity is the recipe for disaster, and are the stuff of daydreams...

Flooding begins from May onwards. In March, Nainital will be okay, but yeah Corbett may or may not be flooded. If you go, and conditions are OK, do visit it.

Tough is good, isn't it? I will say right now it is JNCASR that is doing the best work.

IIT Bombay and Kanpur - much improved IISC Bangalore and JNCASR - still good, as always, IIT Kharagpur and Madras - improved, but average IIT Gandhinagar - pretty OK Other new IITs, still much, much below average.

Another open secret is that faculty hiring was terrible till 2000. The guys hired in the 80s and 90s are mostly worthless.

True. I remember the Lithium ion battery project in KGP was a fiasco. But, you know what, such fiascos happen even in top US universities too. And frankly 25 lacs is still laughably small. A medium sized US NSF grant is in the ballpark of half a million dollars, which is almost 3 crores in...

Not completely true. IIT Kharagpur for example, always had close relationships with ISRO, and the Navy. Most IITs have contributed a lot, in terms of IP and forex both. And frankly, IT was always a passing fad. When I was there, the fad was finance. And this happens, because in India everyone's...

5 year Dual Degree with B.Tech(H) and M.Tech.

IIT Kharagpur. I will leave major aside.

Not really, in the last several batches, over half are still in India. I am an IITian myself, so I do know the reality, as opposed to what Times of India reports.

I can vouch for what you said. The Navy has had enlightened leadership, and it was forced to after SM Nanda's dealings came to light. But among all forces, its been the Army that has been the most corrupt when it comes to procurement. Not very few. The number of IIT B.Techs that join IAS, or...

Low-intensity blast kills one, injures three at busy street in Bengaluru Blast kills one, injures three at busy street in Bengaluru - The Times of India via @timesofindia

Slightly better news

I am never saying it is a solid proof, but this chatter existed before the blasts. And they make sense.

It's at least better than you - puffing hashish and coming up with outrageous stories with no basis in reality.

Like a broken recorder, you are spouting the same story, over and over and over and over. Much more tweets, aand chatter claim this to be home-grown, and a revenge for the arrest of ShamiWitness, from Bangalore, the same city where the blasts happened.

Bangalore blast: 1 dead, 1 injured in IED explosion at Church street - Hindustan Times The woman, named Bhawani, succumbed to her injuries in the blast. RIP. There are several tweets claiming the blasts to be a retaliation for the arrest of Mehdi Biswas, the ISIS twitter operator with the...

Isn't it interesting, the guy who came up with the name Pakistan and Dinia was kicked out of Pakistan within a year of its founding.
