There are 2 distinct possibilities that come to mind. 1) Most Indian defence you tube channels are know for exaggerated claims. If not outright fabrications. To the best available information of the published production plans for Tejas. It's expected to serve with the GE 404. At this time it's too l...

Another thing I want to add is -- once UK's Conservatives lose power and are replaced with Labour party govt, I think we should expect UK Labour govt to likewise try to do similar Trudeau-style stunts against India. Don't say you weren't warned. That will just expedite the journey to irrelevance of...

Haresh,

Thanks a ton for the Ice-cream truck link.

It's a text book example of grassroots entrepreneurial spirit.

These are winners.

I recall reading somewhere that SMART is compatible with the Brahmos VLS.

But am not able to find that specific reference.

It's official. We have a 2 tiered system of justice.

Do the people in Punjab really want to build anything in the state. In general I am amazed at the people who are spending 60 to 70 lakhs and just taking a plane for the western nations. The kind of initiative and entrepreneurial spirit required to leave everything behind and start a new. If the same...

You don't play territorial games with a nuclear power.

That lesson seems to have been lost in Washington these days.

Even short sharp war sees heavy usage of artillery. In case of guns, need ammo, fuzes and barrels. Ammo we have OFB and Adani factory Fuzes BEL set up a factory in Pune and filling at a nearby facility but haven't heard any updates. Barrels OFB and Bharat Forge are there. Don't know production rate...

Sumeet, If the pvt sector is destroyed, then the question of compliance doesn't arise, no? Think about it from this POV. Rahul Gandhi is dangerous precisely because people think of him as a Papu. But he is following a clearly defined script and is hoping that rest of the nation will follow him as we...

WRT, the presence of Khalistani elements in Kanaada. Would it be feasible would it be to turn those clowns in on Kanada itself?

So that the Kanaadian state is compelled to deal with the problem. Or else the whites can no longer live safely.

Thanks.

Interesting. It was not an attack of Adani and Ambani. It was an attack on Congress.

Nice.

Sanman, A minor correction about the post WW1 German position WRT Jews. It was a blood liable, dating back to the crucifixion of Christ.

Modi has taken the name of Ambani and Adani and has accused Congress of taking money from them. That's kind of sudden. I wonder what is happening in the background Is there any link where Modi has said this. Along with the specific context of the comment. Unless we understand that. It's extremely h...

Has there been any rioting in favour of Congress post MP and CG elections? The only large scale political violence seen in India has been in Bengal. That too because of the history of large scale political violence from the political parties of the state. If BJP/ NDA wins the elections and has succe...

Snip.... If we are accepting or agreeing with law-lessness, what we are going to get is more law-lessness. I am a railway fan, and genuinely like all aspects of Indian Railways. But I don't travel in train with my family; as I don't want them to suffer the ordeal brought in by these boorish non-bon...

We are seeing an extremely sophisticated information warfare campaign deployed by the Congress party. I am seeing a narrative in my social circle where I am seeing fantastical claims of corruption from the Modi government. But it falls flat when basic facts are pointed out. That too at my level. I t...

Such units also need protection from FPV drone attacks. It has been a belief, that, if the target can be seen, it will be hit. If it can be hit, it will be destroyed. The solution used to be passive during the last several decades. In terms of camouflage and movements after night fall. With the ava...

Here we are being blind men of Hindustan. The problem of economic migrants from Eastern UP, Bihar, and Bengal traveling to North and West and South is real. The easy and safe transportation for them is by Railways. The solution of this problem is not in the hands of the railways. Because it doesn't ...

In India the so called senior officials are not independent of the PMO. The US is trying to target the PM by proxy. The Indian PMO and it's officials were not born yesterday. That they will be bullied by the amature tactics being deployed by the US. Unless the US is counting on a victory of Papu and...

The argument made by the article linked above makes sense, if seen purely from the POV of budgetary allocations.

Is it not already happening?

All this is well and good. But the proof of the pudding is in the conviction from courts.

We have seen several such cases, where prosecution falls flat in the face.

Pratyush

I disagree. India needs to diversify its economy even further and become more productive. That’s the key to sustainable growth not labor intensive industries. The first step is to shift excess labour from agriculture to other occupations. Once that's done, we can start thinking about labour product...

Or that he is so clueless about politics.

The thing with electricity is that it's not just useful for ship propulsion. It's also useful for powering a whole bunch of other systems as well. Such as EMALS, rail guns, directed energy, etc. All the above requires a smart grid that is capable of handling increased power transmission in order to ...

Why this question? Perhaps the Russians are fighting the war they want to fight. Shock and awe where required. Punishing arty strikes where it gets the job done. The so called turtle tanks might look funny and desperate. But they have proven useful in getting the job done. So watch the innovations t...
