Re: Military Multimedia - Indian Armed Forces

Is there any book that gives a strategic yet comprehensive view of the 1971 war ? Something similar to "Crusade in Europe" by Dwight D. Eisenhower that covers European theatre in world war 2.

Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1

In one of the famously open middle east country, the government very closely monitors what is spoken in mosques. The government in fact gives the text of the speech and the imam can only speak from that. CID keeps a close eye on what is discussed in mosque, so any radicals are quickly identified and...

While Rajiv Malhotra's contributions in Indology are indeed great, he really should not have done that video with Nityananda on figuring out a way to determine future birth of a person and conserve his wealth till then. It has made him a laughing stock even among the Hindutvadi crowd.
