FYI. Modi applied once, based on an invitation for a talk. That application was denied. He did not apply again till date. Period. So pray, tell me, where is Modi desperate?

Its plain politics and mostly lobbying by various groups with vested interests. Those include certain Indian MPs as well. That being said, as a CM, Modi cannot apply for Diplomatic visa. His application has to be a regular business/visitor class. If he becomes a central govt cabinet minister...

Those are simply recommendations. Not binding on the POTUS. Blatant attempt at interference. Not good! Indians WILL elect whoever we want. No outsider has any right to "recommend" anything or anyone to us. Its our RIGHT, given to us by OUR CONSTITUTION. Does not matter. Courts decide whether a...

People also tend to forget that denial of US visa to Modi was primarily due to lobbying against him by 'certain groups' with certain interests and a letter allegedly signed by 65 Indian MPs. Those groups lobbied against Modi's visa application on the basis of the numerous cases then running...

To what end? Brainwash the wilfully ignorant public into (mis)exercising their franchise for the political party's benefit? They already do that with their stooges in various media outlets. A simple cursory glance of the Indian media is enough to tell which "outlets" and media people support...

Initiating a war is not as simple as shouting "Fire". India, being a democracy (or for that matter any democratic country), uses its armed forces as an extension of its policy making machinery. There has never been a good enough reason to fire the first salvo or initiate a war with Pakistan. Or...

You are our "Arch Enemy", remember? Emotions flare the worst when it concerns family, no? But then again, it manifests not only when things get heated up with Pakistan, but with other countries too. Remember the racist incidents occurring in Australia and Indians' response then? Or the uproar...

X2. But this has nothing to do with religion. FYI. Though this wouldnt be the first incident of ransacking a foreign business office. For some reason, instigated mobs tend to vent their frustration at anything foreign, remember Monsanto? They tend to forget that the property, people working...

For a generation of Pakistanis, majority of whom have known nothing about real democracy but Army rule, it was indeed unsettling and a genuine shock to see a democratically elected complete its term and hand over reigns to another democratically elected administration, peacefully! For these...

What about those attack Apaches? And pardon my ignorance, but what happened to the howitzer deal? Anyway, wont sanctions hamper troop and equipment movement if forces rely on these transports during time of conflict?

Technological and numerical superiority in combination will trounce any opponent. Pray what weakness is one trying to find? Unless you presume IAF to be a bunch of amateurs!! Oh, ok. HAL can produce these very engines under licence production in-house, but have to send them to Russia for...

Some "recommended comments" in the comments section of the Op-Ed

The Indian way? No way The national culture of unquestioned obedience to authority along with an acceptance of shoddiness must not be used as an excuse to overlook violations of corporate ethics, says the Ranbaxy whistle-blower. Comments?

I can make so many dirty jokes on this one!!!!

Oh! Some people really have a lot of time on their hands to indulge in and monitor/punish such mundane irrelevant activities. Priorities, my friend, Priorities.

Besides being booked for petty criminal offences under IPC (usually for disturbing peace and instigating unruly behavior), show us where in our IPC does it specify that there would be a capital punishment for black magic, sorcery and such stupidity?

Atleast, there is NO capital punishment for such "offences" in India!

Apparently they DO! Thats why they are so scared of these that they incorporate capital punishment - beheadings - to 'deal' with the idiots who resort to such 'activities'!

Good, a comrade of my trade! Where did you get your degree from? I am presently doing my graduate studies in a Biochemistry program but working on a glioblastoma problem. I will hopefully finish by next year, but am kind of divided on post-doc or industry. I also have a masters in Pharmaceutical...

Au contraire. The naxalites do kill and maim those who do not 'support' their cause, especially innocent tribal people - the very people whose rights they are supposedly fighting for! The only reason why they dont attack civilian/commercial centers in cities or urban areas is because their...
