Re: Internal Security Watch

Sources in the Intelligence Bureau said that Hooti, originally from Kerala but now an Omani national I don't know how correct this finding is. Does Oman allow people from other countries to become an Omani citizen? AFAIK none of the "Gelf" countries have such a provision in place. Infact ...

Re: India-Australia News and Discussion

I just compiled some of the snippets I wrote for the 'Campus Review' journal after being asked to do so by the ALP youth wing kids and 2 Members of Parliament. The attacks as reported by the Indian media are actually not addressing or even reviewing the cause of the issue in detail.Since there has b...

Re: India-Australia News and Discussion

How ironical that the President of Melbourne Graduate Association,Paul Coats is accusing the state govt. of exploitation otherwise termed as 'cash cows'.He is the son of Victorian Minister of Health Bronwyn Pike (ALP).Although he is a socialist alternative factional head.I suppose the students shoul...

Re: India-Australia News and Discussion

Reason our desis don't retaliate is bcoz they have a 8202 condition on student visas which states they should not undertake in any activity which affects the community,however self defense is fine as stated by the coppers.Education agents in india who are not regulated often tell students 'not to ge...

Re: India-Australia News and Discussion

Well basically, it is because these countries ruling regimes and systems know that there will be no consequence if Indians are attacked. The GOI will mumble a bit but thats it. It is about perceptions of power and the amount of pain India can cause. Here they know that GOI, especially of the Congre...

Re: Issues faced by Commonwealth Games-New Delhi 2010

Delhi could use RFID technology to automatically turn traffic lights green when any vehicles related to CWG are within a few metres of the lights.To discourage people bringing their own card to the games,probably levying a heavy charge for parking at these venues wouldn't be such a bad idea!Maybe th...

Re: Discussion on Indian Special Forces

How do you stop a speeding truck-bomb plunging towards an election rally? Or even a regular car-bomb? Sh!t, it need not be an election rally at all... Indians love to crowd around incidents, so any small incident can be "created" and an attack synchronized on the gathered crowds. A .50 HM...
