Please shut up and stop interrupting the discussion. This is being meticulously captured for wider consideration. Without proof, these posts will not have credibility. Damn. There goes a perfectly good thread. Well, clearly there is an economic case. There are millions of Indians on their...

They are similarly broke. Lots of similarities. This concern for the reputation of the country in the eyes of the USA is to be applauded, and that it is too late for that should not matter. It's the thought that counts. Just vulgar curiousity - what cargo shipments between Djibouti and Makran...

Totally agree, but nuclear submarines don't become an essential part of sea denial. Coastal long-range missile batteries do, AIP submarines emphatically (and affordably) do. Good. Now the country can focus on the political decisions. True, so true. I have been suggesting this for all members...

What a terribly unintelligent observation - in the context of Pakistan, at least. Haven't you heard this one, or was it before your time? "We(Pakistan) will eat grass, even go hungry, but we will get one of our own Don't worry, we all remember Zulfie Baby;

A bit over the top. Was that flourish really necessary?

That is pathetic. You are controlled in your responses by some petty-minded little bigots, it seems. They can make you jump to their tunes. Last thing I expected from you. He needn't have, but once he did what he did, I don't think we non-Muslims need to comment on it; we need to be tolerant...

They wouldn't. I didn't know you were such a silly creature. Very true. It is instructive to read what you consider to be the boundaries of a harmonious social co-existence. Why should any outsider be surprised any more that there is so much friction in India, when views like this can be...

If you know about these, mention them. When I was last here, perhaps a couple of years ago, we had a fairly robust moderators' team. None of the Indians who mean to be here in good faith - many of us - will support these 'false flaggers'. Have you reported him? Why not, if you have not done so...

Why is there such a commotion over a poor guy saying his prayers, bothering nobody?

It isn't a bunch of lunatics, it is the followers of a guru that had a massive complex and transferred his pent-up frustrations into an effort to convert whites to his sect. These are Gaudiya Vaishnavs from Bengal, from the very narrow sect that follows His Holiness A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami...

There is no source needed. A fallacy in the way of calculation, and the gaps between narrative and researched and established fact were shown. It is peculiar that you see this revelation as the reverse of what it is. You do need help.

No. I buy them from certified sources of organic stuff.

Your point is a good one in generic terms, but misdirected. I eat organic, pesticide free vegetables, as it happens.

True. I have taken my cue from open source information about three types of PLA MBRL, the PHL-03 Smerch derivative, the PHL-16 and the rather fuzzy PCL-191. The PHL-03 is not intended for accuracy, much, but rather for area coverage, and is reported to cover an area of 67 hectares, or 170...

It seems that your understanding of the foreign language that we both write is somewhat limited. Read what I wrote, with attention, please: Do you get it, or should I invite someone to address the situation with a maul or a sledge-hammer?

So the resultant action points: Artillery to be increased in inventory and in deployment: For the Indian Army, the target should be, on the northern front and on the western front, (a) an artillery regiment, 155 mm howitzers, for every brigade, whether infantry, or mechanised, or armoured; (b)...

What was this about? About cartoons showing Hazrat Mohammed? Or about the Satanic Verses? First, the ban on depicting the figures of humans was an extreme ban; the ban on depicting the Prophet is merely a variation. I, personally, find it hard to take this seriously, as the depiction of the...

Personally, while I retain the right to eat everything, I am increasingly vegetarian. The thought of slaughtering life to eat is increasingly difficult to handle.

That's it, more or less. BTW a number of Hindus eat beef; it is nowhere as sacrosanct as it used to be.

This was a development of the early mediaeval ages, as, in classical times, there was absolutely no taboo against eating beef; the Rg Veda contains references to it, and it isn't possible to go further back into proto-history than that. However, as the migrants spread through the Ganges Delta...
