They were called off because the politicos asked those 2000 army men to start supplying petrol to your home. Next time, stand infront of a soccer goalpost and try to stop every shot from every angle. How much terrain information do you have, what they had was an approximate location, 1 sq km will be...

didnt we see a article eons ago, with a pakistani official lamenting the lack of softness from congress which the nda had showed. In the last 4 yrs arent we seeing the 2 level diplomacy dead in the tracks, when compared to the "progress" during vajpayee? Let us not confuse congs muslim pol...

The surprise is in finding written proof that is contrary to the placating arguments made by GOI to say that there is enough ambiguity written in the terms of agreement and we have the backing of US Govt that in the case of a Indian Nuclear test, US law may be invoked to prevent and recall nuclear ...

Virupaksha

So the last sheet covering the sanctity of " Trust US " (sic) has also fallen off and the nakedness of serving only national interests of US is self evident, and needs no further proof or debate (I hope). Perfidy galore. Some arguments were earlier made on how much fuel should be purchase...

Virupaksha

one thing I observed, looking at the site. All the olympians were felicitated with arjun awards much before they actually go and win in olympics. Keeping track of these awardees seem to give a narrow but reliable set of actual contenders for India. They seem to felicitate 10 to15 people per year. Na...

Jitender lost 11-15 to the balakshin, ranked 5th in the world. not bad for a Jitender who was ranked 17th.

who still wants to bet on the previous forecast on BR of 2-1-1??

congratulations Sushil

Virupaksha

Distances involved doesn't necessarily have to have a bearing on what is and isn't national interest. The US invaded Iraq to protect the pro-Western Kurdish minority and to stop Iraqi SAMs from taking pot shots at US peace enforcement planes ;) The same pro-western kurdish minority was allowed to b...

Virupaksha

So N, it's ok to violate sovreignty in order to stop genocide? If the US (or any power) were to be inclinded, it would be ok to overrun Sudan and give Darfur its independence and make Sudan a vassal of the conquering power? I can only imagine the gnashing of teeth and lamentations if the US were to...

Virupaksha

Vick, You are seeing it completely wrong. What is world today? A place where US gets most of its decisions upheld. A place where US tries to place caps on others growth potential. How can India, i.e. say number 7 or 8 on list, itself be on the global table. Only when the number 2s and 3s challenge 1.

Virupaksha

Rishi, The system is bad period. However that is not what was amazing about it. Understanding what one can do, what one cannot with this system is more interesting to me. For example, if China sees that a particular ethnic group is becoming dominant in a particular profession, say law - using this s...

Virupaksha

Micromanaging a person's life from a distant remote control seems to be the only reason for this hokou system. When I read the "greencard" for shifting from rural to urban, I almost fell out of the chair. No wonder the cities of China have less slums! The control and social manipulation wh...

“Our aim is for the redundancy to remain protected. This is the main thing we have to achieve. That is what is behind the slogan of a clean and unconditional exemption. And I am firm and committed that we must get this.” In short, from Indian PoV and for the purpose of the Indian civilian nuclear p...

From the fatwa post by Gerard, two posts above - the much "secret" restricted document -gov 1621 is given.

http://armscontrol.org/system/files/GOV1621.pdf

has this document already been discussed?

Virupaksha

I was wondering, if we are looking at the whole picture. We are fixated on the west borders, but India had buffers on the east side too. It was India which stopped the advance of Japan on the east side. In the WWII, Japan reached the borders of India. At that time, China was not a threat. Now china ...

Virupaksha

India on the other hand has to place an imported reactor under safeguards as long as it is operational. However, this agreement allows us to classify and reclassify Indian made reactors as we wish, as long as we don't use foreign fuel for bombs. In other words, we can classify Rawatbhata-1 as civil...

Virupaksha

NNWS don't have the right to specify what facilities and at what times the safeguards apply. For an NNWS, IAEA safeguards apply to all facilities, all the time. So to say that this agreement is like that of an NNWS would be erroneous and misleading. yes, I completely agree with your statement. Can ...

Virupaksha

The questions which arose from the agreement for me are: i) What is the "India-specific" about this agreement? Seems like one which any NNWS will have. ii) With the Tarapur experience in background, what exactly are the safeguards iii) If fuel interruptions, would they allow us to take it ...

Virupaksha

(ii) It is clear that any facility can revert to unsafeguarded status if all fuel and other equipment and material are returned - again at India's sole discretion and without any provision that can allow the agency to stall or stop it. The conditions for revert are clear and final Raja Ram Could yo...

Joshvajohn,

If you are expecting anything else, what can I say?

A question, I thought the railway was brought to the Lhasa? Does china have anything in Xinjiang?

Virupaksha

This actually suggests that the Marathas *did* have a broader vision than regional imperialism, incorporating the importance of national emblems. Reclaiming Indraprastha, the ancient seat of kings and the capital of Muslim empires since the eleventh century, for Hindavi Swaraj would have had coloss...

I do not believe so, I dont think religion is the glue that is holding this country. I didnt say that! mind you, I said the religion is an important component of the glue. Dear sir, my cousin is an aggarwal. And I am South Indian Hindu from malluland. My connections with north india runs far deep t...

Virupaksha

Ofcourse I am an idealist, even my name means that, but you would completely wrong if you think i am not in touch with reality. Adux means idealist?? I didnt know that. I hate charecterizations in that way, but your words in this thread are firmly in that mold. Please do have some kind of sympathy ...

Virupaksha

If you think India will remain united on the basis of Hinduism alone you are utterly idiotic in your assumptions. I wouldnt want to be alligned with the North Indians who treat as my not 'fair enough' or Kallu. Nor will I like to be united with the Tamilians with their concept of "Divine Tamil...

Read our Preamble. Israel is secular, heck even US for that matter???you sure As I said above, the devil is in details. israels secularism is not equal to america's which is not equal to frenchs which is not equal to indias. I aint a proffessor on the subject, but yes I have read about it. Nobody i...

Virupaksha

Adux, Every thing has a context. You for all your arguments, forget that there is a context and place ideas without realizing the context behind it. You are an idealist (though I have to say, I hate this sort of charecterisation), who doesnt want to see the reality. It is like communism, in an utopi...

As usual the moment, one gets critical, he is made to shut up in that indianmuslims.in blogsite. I had written two replies for them but they been "moderated", i.e. deleted. So adapting the two comments which I had written there for here. Please note there might some leaps of thoughts as th...

Virupaksha

Interesting!!! Did Gandhi and his movement lay the necessary groundwork for partition? Was there a cause-effect relationship? Please elaborate more. Read up on the khilafat movement, where for the sake of hindu-muslim unity in india, he developed the "great" idea, that hindus should suppo...

I am sorry but I am quoting you in a somewhat random way.

Actually the controversy of singing vandemateram is just a symptom, as most of the forum will agree. The govt tried to placate muslims in this case by i) removing the "hindu" lines ii) making it not the national anthem but the national song. The muslim response has been the fatwas by the m...

Virupaksha

Now also present what is the full version of national anthem "jana gana mana"? It was not written for the sake of mother India but for honouring King George to India, you are alright with that song. What was done to this song? Those portions which were for the british were deleted and the ...

Thank you for that feedback. I will pad our travel times, especially auto, accordingly.

Seriously the non natives need to stop telling TN what is good for us. and why do you forget that you are doing it with the same non-native money? :evil: and then its not about money? The same 2000 crore blackhole of setusamudram, could probably be used for much much more benefit elsewhere. and we ...

During the past couple of years, I have been reading (ok, trolling) paki news reports that their pilots have been practicing landing and takeoffs from national highways around the country. In case in times of war their AFBs are destroyed or rendered inoperable for a duration. My guess is that the n...
