PhD programs in India Some of this seems blatantly abusive behavior but I wonder how much is true. From what I have seen of recent PhDs from India, there are extremely good ones (the usual ratio) but quite a scattering of extremely bad ones, esp. those who are 'faculty" in social sciences even...

I don't understand. Why would you need to download Java? I filled out ITR online without needing to download anything. You just need to fill in the form online and submit. The process has got smoother over the last few years, as you even don't need to take a printout and sign and send anymore. Every...

The point of having a fantasy-industrial-complex is to serve as more than a medium for societal and cultural constructs rather than religion purposes for communicating with newer initiates. The age of the initiate is unimportant to the people in charge of peddling the particular fantasy; though it ...

Just posting this rave-and-rant.. Leftist narrative about lynchings, communalism, rape and caste violence has become very strong. There is no doubt that some bad incidents like brutal rapes, murder, etc. have happened motivated by caste or religious agenda. This has been used to defame entire commun...

Downloading now.. Isn't there a good book by an Indian author? /disappoint New History of the Marathas, GS Sardesai. All the volumes are there on archive, I think. Thanks.

. WTF good is a Narrative under these circumstances? The only Narrative that most Indians take with them when they go abroad is that their dear co-Bharatiyas are out to rip them off and shove them in the gutter at any opportunity and the BS Bozos are out with their corrupt arrogance to make life ev...

Great post Rudradev. As Kati has mentioned, China is already spreading its diaspora far and wide so that it has better influence. While the earlier expansions were through war, pillage and loot, mostly under the flag of church & islam, now its more of knowledge based expansions. If more Indians...

Unless there is opportunity for R&D within India, the brain drain will continue. Western countries basis for R&D has been their military industrial complex, aerospace..etc industries. But since IAF, Army insist on purchasing foreign made weapons designed by foreign scientists and engineers ...

We don't need more migration to the US, especially high tech/skilled people. We need them to stay back at home and develop our industries- which are genuinely ours, not MNC outsourcing. Yes, GOI and Indian society need to step up to it but we are moving in right direction. Quite apart from anything ...

Can anyone suggest me a good book on the Maratha empire? I can't seem to find any good one (in English).

Especially the Maratha history after Shivaji and wars fought with Aurangzeb. I already have a good book on Shivaji, title 'Challenging destiny'.

I do not understand what Modiji is saying about protectionism being dangerous. Indian industries need to be protected, that's a fact. This is even more true when it comes to military industrial complex such as development of LCA Tejas , etc. Combined with allowing 100% FDI in single brand, the govt ...

Let me come to the defense of Shri Nishchalananda Saraswati ji. First, Thanks for posting the video.

Many of th...

He doesn't beat around the bush saying that v...

With this in mind, it is instructive to explore some of the older science fiction that talks about the problem. "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut is absolutely amazing and incredibly on the dot about certain things. Written in 1952, this book depicts a dystopia in which the only well employe...

Now I want to go into the topic of technology unemployment - ie. replacing humans with robots. This is now no longer science fiction.

Keep in mind its not just about literature ( though that is an important part ). There's also TV, movies and video games. USA is dominant in all of them, almost to a monopoly. These may be more important these days seeing that these media have much more reach these days. The me-too bandwagoning effe...

I'd like to advance the hypothesis that consistently high quality science fiction (by 'consistent' I mean a number of authors writing/specializing in the genre) is one sign of the technological advancement of a society. It feels to me that the best science fiction tends to come from societies with ...

Continuing with Isaac Asimov - Robot novels. These are well known for Asimov's 3 laws of robotics. Although the stories are quite well written, I feel that like most western authors, he struggles with the concept of a soul or having consciousness/free will. The robots are constrained to follow the 3...

It is instructive to look at 'trade' as it appears in the Foundation series. The foundation 'traders' strike deals with the elites of the underdeveloped worlds in return for small pieces of valuable technology for themselves. But they don't give out the knowledge that lies behind developing such a p...

SFDebris, a website run by Chuck Sonnenburg is great source for finding and critiquing science fiction http://sfdebris.com/index.php His perspective however, is limited to the Western world-view, and I think we can improve on it by developing our point of view.

A happy new year to all of you. This thread is meant for understanding the science fiction genre, its origins in the west, and how we can relate to them.

Then again this is all BS. How can North Korea's top missile developers have assets in the US all this time? How could they have been THAT comfortable?
