I'm right handed and I always hold the fork in my right hand and knife in my left hand. But I was always under the impression that the standard etiquette is to do it the other way. Now, I was watching Chori Choir Chupke Chupke and saw that they held the fork and knife the same way I do...

The future radar on the Super 30 is far more powerful than the F-22 radar. Again, I think most of the time the F-22 would usually win a one on one fight against the Super 30 but it simply doesn't have the multirole capabilities that the Super 30 has, which overall makes the Super 30 a much more...

I'm wondering what we are debating about. I was criticizing Modi, because this thread was about him, and because it is worrisome that many people want him to be the next PM. This in no way means I don't want to have the 84 riot perpetrators be brought to justice. If you open another thread on...

That's what I said. He died because he and his mom gave support to the LTTE which in classic state-sponsored terrorist fashion got out of control before turning on its creator. Your point? ---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ---------- We...

Let me google that for you Let me google that for you So we have one example of a possible prosecution for blasphemy in Lebanon, and none in Syria. Hardly evidence of an intolerant society.

Rajeev Gandhi died because of what he did. Once again, I absolutely abhor what Congress did and want them to face justice as soon as possible. Nevertheless, given the current possibility of Modi becoming the prime minister, I think there is extreme urgency in making sure that he goes to jail.

Not that I know of. They take great pains to protect their Christian minorities, so they might have laws to protect all religions or something.

We do talk about the 84 riots, and do call for justice for the victims by having the Congress party members behind them punished. However, the 2002 riot is somewhat more relevant in that Modi is considered an important candidate for becoming the Prime Minister and he has made no attempt to tone...

Lebanon? Syria? Sure, Israel and the West are trying to destabilize them by funding radical terrorist elements, but they have managed pretty well. The secular, liberal, pluralistic and tolerating of other religions route? Yes I do want India to go down that route.

First you say that the Britishers incorrectly named Hinduism a religion and then you yourself go back to calling Hinduism a religion. I'm not sure what you're trying to say at this point. 90% or so. But in some places - namely Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, there are significant populations of...

You're conflating the Hindu religion with Hindu culture here. Hindu culture is no more a religion than say Confucianism. Hindu religion's influence is confined to those who believe in it (incidentally, many "Hindus" are actually atheists or agnostics). On the other hand, Hindu culture influences...

My first reaction was that this hacker needs to get a life. But then I realized that this might not be such a bad thing. By disclosing the source code to the public, he forces them to fix possible vulnerabilities. This is good because otherwise some Symantec employees and people with good...

India Increases Iran Oil Imports - WSJ.com Nice move by India!

Just seems like a rebound effect, as speculators were proved wrong.

Actually the F-22 has only two things: stealth capability and supercruise capability. The systems that the Super 30 will receive are way beyond what the F-22 has. The same goes for its massive armament and easier maintenance. This is why I don't consider the 5th generation label to be of much...

Damnit. I hope it falls again so that by the time I return to India my dollars will convert for more. :enjoy:

The F-22 will still be the best air-to-air fighter in the world, but the Sukhoi has immense air-to-ground and will have Brahmos capabilities that the F-22 doesn't. In addition, the F-22 suffers from requiring a lot of maintenance per flight hour. Thus, the Super 30 will be a much more useful...

Russia's certainly has it's problems thanks to the collapse and general upheaval it suffered in the 90s. Amongst other things, there is a small but violent white supremacist movement that the authorities are still trying to crush. But we have to remember the long history of support from Russia...

India should pick up the slack by buying more oil at a cheaper price from Iran. We'll both be better off.

The Super 30 will probably be the most advanced operational fighter in the world when inducted. The capabilities of this aircraft are simply insane.
