It doesn't matter what the IMF says, with their army of experts. Pak's homegrown spin doctors - like riaz haq - are likely to feel differently and will argue ad infinitum why the "army of experts" is dead wrong because he would have seen a patch of decently laid road or would have seen the...

I am, personally, boycotting this series. I hope there are others who think alike. As much as some might like to differentiate between sports and politics, given the vast reach of cricket and emotional connect, the two cannot be separated. Besides, it won't be the same without Sachin - and...

This guy slayed every thing that was thrown at him. I consider myself the lucky to have seen sachin taking guard alongside the likes of dravid, azhar, laxman, ganguly to face the likes of warne, akram, waqar, mcgrath, pollock, vaas, saqlain, murali. The generation to follow will only read and...

We should not have this series for soo may reasons. The PCB needs this much more than the BCCI. And the baggage that cricket carries - allows for the sport to also translate into a diplomatic tool. India, at minimal cost, can employ this tool. Besides, it's not like the sport is likely to get...

I think Pakistan is being a little too ambitious in targeting competition with India. Indian players like Tata and Mahindra have access to better technology, courtesy of their acquisitions overseas (Tata - JLR, M&M - Ssangyong). Indian car makers also enjoy economies of scale and are better...

I don't think manufacturing at home would be an answer. Economies of scale in larger, more evolved markets allow for more efficient use of capital in manufacturing activities.

If you had bothered to read the link you would have realized that USD 145 billion is not the targeted value of auto exports, but the expected contribution of the auto sector to the economy. Jokers from SL can't hurt India even if they wanted to. Another country that manages to grow a pair...

It's heartening that agencies such as ADR come out with such reports - putting the shameful legacy of some of these politicians on public display. Hopefully, the protests in the country will pile enough pressure on the govt, forcing them to offer more than just empty rhetoric. Higher police...

Tata has done what it should have to maximise the earnings of its shareholders. As for tax breaks - i'd much rather have the govt offer tax incentives to infra cos which are bleeding right now. If india is to sustain growth we need roadways, electricity, steel - not luxury cars. On na...

I don't understand - Renault, Hyundai, Nissan and even Peugeot are using Chennai, Pune as manufacturing hubs. What kind of "Silly" taxes are not hurting them and are likely to hurt JLR?!

How did Maldives become a radical state?? Hasan Amir - a Lieutenant in Maldives National Defense Force - tells us how...

Just taking a page out of China's Manual on Tibet.

Such acts of defiance will only embolden the larger guys like SL, BD, etc. India needed to make an example of Maldives. A strong leader would have seen this as an opportunity to reinforce India's domination, at minimal cost.

I can empathize with your remarks, but it does little to challenge the potency of such an initiative. A move like this is politically viable - as the Dravidian parties will be seen championing the Tamil cause and the numbers in Lok Sabha would ensure that ally in Delhi would follow suit. Also...

Don't cuss me for calling a spade a spade. There is widespread sympathy for the Tigers in TN - the reason that Rajiv Gandhi assassins are still alive. There are also radical elements present in the refugee camps in Tamil Nadu. I merely suggest, providing a military medium for expression of...

India needs to fuel the LTTE once again. The angst of people in Tamil Nadu, Tamil diaspora and the locals in north eastern parts of SL needs to be exploited to present a potent security threat to the island nation while assuring India of plausible deniability. China has deeper pockets and...

These low tax jurisdictions are a nuisance. These jurisdictions promote the stocking up of black money and exploiting of legal frameworks for undue tax benefits. India is facing a similar problem with Vodafone. The bastards bought a company operating in India for USD 11.2 billion and refused to...

Who says India can't build a dinghy...yours looks a shade better though...is it the paint job?!

Nothing against Rajinikanth...but i feel that his fans tend to live in a space that is independent of reason and logic...there was mass hysteria about Enthiran...but that was one of the dumbest flicks i have seen...yet, i know a journalist based in Chennai who quit his jobs because he reviewed...

I don't think i have laughed this hard...EVER...hahah The only guys this dinghy would threaten would be the sailors on-board.
