Now a real feedback and sincere Thankyous. I have been browsing BRF for last seven or eight years. In particular, BRF has been my constant companion for the last five years during the long and lonely hours I spent in the library and office working on my PhD. BRF posters have kept me awake while I wo...

Brihaspati ji, I would advice and request caution and a bit cooling down. I, like many others on the forum, have learnt a lot from your thoughts. It will be a big loss to your "students" if you voluntarily stopped or are stopped from posting here. So in the interest of educating the less i...

Reg. INC future and Yuvraaj, There might be a grand strategy at work and a somewhat unexpected player might emerge in addition to or as a replacement of Rahul. I am talking about Priyanka.

I would love to see another slant: the spread of Indic ideas overseas... e.g.: 1. Influence of Indi...

After fifteen attempts by nine Khalifas over a period of seventy-four years (638-712 A.D.) the Arabs had conquered Sindh. It was one of the saddest days in Indian history. I think we have still not realized that there is no final respite unless we take the war to the enemy camp and eliminate the th...

Arun Shourie says it brilliantly, beautifully, awesomely in this IE piece Chock full of quotable quotes. Better still, real meaningful insight. Must read. And pleeeeze pass-on! Ensoi. Supports my "change-software" theory. Unless the software changes, nothing is gonna change this side of I...
