These pictures have been released through ISPR controlled journalist accounts on Twitter. Clearly they had these from yesterday and chose to release only after it became clear that the blackmail over taking WingCo Abhi hostage is not working.

does anyone know what benefit accrued to Tata from the JLR purchase? it seems they had to promise not to shift production to india and not even to transfer JLR technology into their domestic product lines. Tata bought JLR at a very attractive price - ~ $2.3B. The net income for FY2014 itself was $3...

During the UPA rule, governance suffered, period. The illiteracy eradication program, the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, was not tinkered with wrt budget allocation, etc. So, from a policy perspective, there was no change. But delivery failed. And it failed when it actually had to step up, Since post 70%, w...

This is a good start. But we should all recognize one issue. Long-term improvement in IR will need structural reforms in how IR is governed. As of now, with excessive centralization, there is no clear accountability for maintaining either trains or stations. As Bibek Debroy states in his series of a...

^^ So it looks like GopiN Sir. As we were discussing on the railways thread, it is a very balanced budget. Prudence over populism. Well done Mr. Suresh Prabhu. And now to the big one. I hope the govt realizes that for a country like India it is almost impossible to make everyone happy and still do t...

Agree with you, Suraj and Kashi, that this was, more or less, the right kind of rail budget required at this time. Govt has chosen prudence over populism, a welcome change after all these years of "new trains to Bihar and WB" budgets. On the subject of passenger fares, though everyone real...

Indian Railways is the perfect case study for how to waste a resource / enterprise through mis-management.

PS: Suvod, HTC was made big by Compaq. It started them off in handhelds and look at them now.

What to the Gurulog think? vina and GD discussed the fight for supremacy between netz, IBM and Yech Pee - is that fight distracting them?

BTW Pak is ranked 7th in the world, while India is ranked 10th. By the performance in today's game, it doesn't look like their team is any better.

I don't know how we stand against Aus, Ger or Hol though.

Pak trying to come back into the agme in the 2nd half. Putting some pressure on India. But defense holding good so far.

my take on Saas - the transaction volume perspective : makes sense for applications that see a limited or fluctuating volume of transactions. also for applications which don't need too much customization. if we do a cost-benefit analysis of Saas (say for example salesforce.com in place of Oracle's S...

IMHO, good deal for both Oracle and Sun. More so for Sun than Oracle perhaps. Solaris is saved as a platform. And Oracle has been trying to be full spectrum player for quite some time. Now they have it - from OS to applications.

derkonig, I'm not saying - IIM all bad, ISB/Ivy League all good. I have no doubts about the quality of education that the IIMs provide.

Indian IT services has already started to feel the pinch(or the punch really!). IT budgets are being cut drastically across the board in all major customers.

I believe he is talking about java certs from Sun.

For security, CISSP is the most imp cert to have. It is hard to get and acknowledged in the industry. Also, it deals with security across domains/platforms and is not focussed on Network/Server Admin like the Cisco or MS ones.

No one here is discounting the fact that there were failures and shortcomings, at various levels.
