And we keep wondering why there is a shortage of Rs 100 notes. I've been saying that since the beginning :) Small denomination hoarding should be subjected to additional penalties because it hurts the mango man much more than hoarding 1000s does. +108. Added to that I think the govt should ensure t...

You have not made the precise statement "HSR is a tax burden on Indians"., but you did make the statement that " ultimately it has to come from taxpayer's pocket ". Please tell us how your statement is any way different or means different? Now, we're talking. I stand by the bold...

Prashanth'ji., I suggested you read from page 1 of the thread and not from page 29 of the thread. Appreciate your effort., but food can only be eaten from mouth and if you start doing it backwards., why blame me when you run into a backstop!?

Saar, whether it comes from GOI's expenditure or through loans from foreign sources, ultimately it has to come from taxpayer's pocket. So you are now shifting goal posts and bringing in Tax payer. Can you clearly state how HSR is funded and what are the terms of funding? If you do not know, you can...

prashanth

Agree that each of the item you mentioned itself requires huge capex and should be a first priority. But can you tell us where is the money you think is coming for HSR?

S'cuse the naivete/ignorance, but indigenous guidance and navigation have always been there on PSLV, haven't they? Certain parts would have been imported. But nice news, anyway. One of the most important part is the microprocessor used in control units for systems you have mentioned. IIRC they were...

The dock looks clumsy and poorly planned. I presume that the thin arm (next to which INS Vindhyagiri capsized) was artificially built. Could they have not built it at right angles to the main arm, so that ships have more space to move around. Why are those smaller ships spaced so close that they alm...

But I have said in the past that instead of giving anything for free to the poor, use the money to build rural infra. The man and the fish story etc etc. True. But in the longer run, they should try their best to stop generation of BM itself and I believe GOI is on the right path. Push towards cash...

Take his moradabad speech, he says the poor should keep the 2.5 lakh that any BM hoarder has put in their accounts. Is everyone okay with this? I would like to know if the people here agree with this. Doesn't this money belong to the taxpayers like us? Would this robinhood like populism attract the...

I really hope that they don't change the Kabini core with the Snecma core in the name of collaboration. They have tried that once. Thankfully, GTRE fought out that farce. What would happen this time?

We should develop them cheap and deploy them in thousands. They can be sacrificed to deplete enemy SAMs and AAMs in the beginning of any conflict.

A layman question to gurus here. How stealthy are these drones UAV or UCAV? I am aware that US uses predators/reapers in Af-pak. But this was after an agreement with Af government and TSP military. If India wants to use a UCAV against terror camps in pak, will the aircraft survive their SAMs and AAM...

Shiv avare and Gyan saar, I don't understand why HALwould sabotage LCA when it is their only lifeline to stay relevant in the industry. I think it is more of incompetence at work here.

I feel there could be a trust deficit also here . TN may take a stance that KA may not release water when there is a dire need for the water. Again the same set of behaviour (rioting, the state government refusing to give water and even dodging the courts for a while) may have been expected, and TN...

It absolutely is KA's incompetence. Is this the first time in history that there is a failure in monsoon?

Bengaluru drinking water problem or Mandya farmers loan waivers will not be solved by stopping water to TN, it is there because of KA's incompetence.

More politickle. Suddenly KA found excess water that they can release to TN :rotfl: The only way to bring KA back to table is via supreme court. I think we all heard it loud and clear. Long term solution is to form a independent river water authority, that can take fact/law based decisions and not ...
