    Why Narendra Modi will never become PM

    Of course he does have a point. Following their rout in Karnataka bypolls and elsewhere, BJP was fighting within itself wrt Modi & the part was in disarray. But now with Modi nominated as BJP's PM candidate, the masses and local political parties and allies can be unified and rallied behind Modi...

    Why Narendra Modi will never become PM

    FYI, that is taken care by NDA - alliances with local parties.

    Why Narendra Modi will never become PM

    It has. For one, Modi was acquitted last year around this time from cases regarding the Gujarat riots. That does not mean he is innocent, but the courts found him not guilty. That changed a lot of perceptions about Modi. Like I said, public has a very short term memory. You forgot about his...

    Why Narendra Modi will never become PM

    This is an almost 2 year old article. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. Also remember that the voting public has a very short memory. Couple to that the fact that every politician worth anything is jumping the bandwagon of attacking Modi. So there MUST be something that Modi...

    China PLA Sends 1000 Marines To Syrian Coast & Russia Sends More Warships

    Obama wants to play it safe, and hence he asked for Congress' approval. Blame game maybe? UK's decision has nothing to with what US want to do. Btw, FYI the French are more than willing to bomb Syria. And what has Israel got to do with all this? You seem to be more worried about 'destroying' an...

    China PLA Sends 1000 Marines To Syrian Coast & Russia Sends More Warships

    How? Its so easy to throw out certain words without understanding the nature or cause of the conflict. Let me explain this in a nutshell - Assad regime- Baathist- secularists- commies- but basically Alawites - Shia. Rebels- religious- majority Sunni- now being helped by Al Qaeda &/or affiliates...

    China PLA Sends 1000 Marines To Syrian Coast & Russia Sends More Warships

    The POTUS actually has special powers that he/she can go to war irrespective of the Congress' approval. Btw, it wont be a war like Iraq or Afghanistan. There would be some strikes at the heart of the regime. Whether it would be of any advantage to the rebels, that remains to be seen.

    Need an Advice On Choosing Tablets or Note-pads ?

    Having tried tablets like iPad, Asus tf700t, Surface RT, Samsung tab2 and samsung note 10, IMHO the best was Samsung Note 10. I personally use that. If you want a smaller one, go for Note 8. Everything else, IMHO, leaves you wanting for something more. The specs of other tablets look very good...

    nuke escalation,India limits its response to Pakistan’s provocations

    These two sentences are the most absurd things I have read. Au contraire, military power aids diplomacy, and surely as history proves, diplomacy certainly displaces use of military power. Its a terrible mistake of putting the military option before diplomacy. The policies of a country dictate...

    India's Super Hercules Lands At Highest Airfield On LAC!

    For a TT on a defence forum, you should have appreciated the importance of this exercise. FYI, you might want to check up on Op Chequerboard and Op Falcon vis-a-vis Indo-China skirmish of 1986-87. You would understand the significance of landing an "unarmed cargo plane" near China.

    Indian Independence Day parade in California vs Khalistan movment

    You must have heard of Op Black Thunder? When KPS Gill stormed the very same Golden Temple with a police force to flush out militants just 4 yrs after Op Bluestar? It was a more successful operation with minimal structural damage and lots of militants killed or surrendered and yet we don't see...

    Indian Independence Day parade in California vs Khalistan movment

    It was indeed Indira Gandhi's creation that came back to bite her. Bhindranwale sowed the seed and many then foolishly jumped the bandwagon believing there would be "support". But OP Bluestar had killed any chance they had for secession and what followed was mindless mayhem and violence. Kudos...

    Indian Independence Day parade in California vs Khalistan movment

    You mean supporters of the 'movement' - morally, financially and in kind! OP Bluestar essentially killed the idea or any chance of secession.

    Smart phones | Selection advice, New releases, Concepts

    I've got the S4 Active. A little compromise on the camera pixels but a more rugged and hardy phone. Dust proof and water proof for up to 30 mins in 3ft of water. And physical buttons instead of touch sensitive back and home 'buttons' on the bezel. That being said, the air swipe feature is kind...

    Modi not to get US Visa (Again)

    Did you read what I posted correctly? Modi applied for the correct category of visa, not a diplomatic one. Why are you doing this? Trying hard to make a fool of yourself?
