I was not aware of this. In any case, those on temporary work visa (H1B) do not get any return from their Social Security/Medicare contributions, when they return back to India after 5-6 years. Their employer's contribution to both is also "lost". That is a net profit for the US federal g...

Something just clicked in my mind when reading that sub-national diplomat tweet by Blinken. They are appointing all shady types to the consulates while the position of the ambassador in Delhi is empty for almost two years. So looks like their focus is on this "sub-national diplomacy" at th...

Can't the order be placed with a relaxed delivery timeline commensurate to Army/Air Force absorption rates? Say, 114 LCHs, to be delivered @15 per year, over 8 years? At least that gives HAL and the rest of the supply chain some surety of future orders, even if at a slower pace. So I don't understan...

Arshyam Uttarakhand will pass a pilot UCC in November. Once it passes SC scrutiny it will be replicated in all BJP states. Once enough states pass then Center will pass it.

As for the govt ignoring Hindu issues - for a long time, there were 3 major Hindu issues - Ram temple, 370 and UCC. The first two are completed, aren't they? Is the third completely ignored? Smaller-scale Hindu issues like Jallikattu were solved earlier and is a non-issue now. Yes, the way they go a...

4. Do they also take the expenditure the central govt incurs by building/repairing highways and other infrastructure that is not included in the grants of the state.

Back in the day, Dr Kalam worked on a project called RATO {rocket assisted take-off). Can something similar be explored for a fixed wing AEW off a STOBAR?

A nod to the Cholas would have been nice. The Maratha naval symbol signifying defence of the motherland, and a Chola (or Kalinga) symbol signifying offence and domniation of the Indian ocean would have made it more complete.

Do people here seriously expect the law minister to state something outside of the constitution when giving a written reply in parliament?

Exactly. I am not sure why we are linking the waiver, which remains an internal solution to an internal and self-created US problem, to our military purchases. If anything, this kind of kabuki should deter us even more from buying the FA-18 - the Tejas is dependent on the US as it is, why add to tha...

^^ Disagree. Just like expressways (or autobahns or interstates) were the next step up in road transport, a high speed rail is the next step up in rail. India runs on its railways, and it behooves the govt to invest in that area. Otherwise, what's the option, air travel, like the US? Imagine the num...

Then what you said earlier about the floor test under a "no-confidence" speaker might hold true - the dy. speaker could disqualify these rebel MLAs just before the floor test.. No I was wrong. the SC has given the MLA’s time to reply to the disqualification notices. So that can’t happen. ...

But I don't think they will even attempt a speaker election right now. It may not even be possible since the governor has convened the assembly session specifically for the floor test not a speaker election. They are banking on the SC to stop the floor test.
