Was there any request to the Tablighi Jamaat folks in Delhi to cancel the event originally? Are they idiots that they don't understand the situation or law that prohibits congregation? There were many gatherings in India before the JanataCurfew. We cannot fault the Jamaat gathering unless authoriti...

It is too cheap to be a cure - how will pharma make money?

V_Raman

China is doing what is good for them. I dont care how they run their society. It is our mistake to have given so much leverage to them. They have not waged physical war on anyone. Move the supply chain out if you can.

Does that mean the TCO of russian h/w is still lower than western h/w? or our procurement system cannot afford the high initial outlays required for western h/w?

V_Raman

2000 rounds ammo storage - does that mean it can fire only for 24 seconds or does it mean 2000 minutes? That's not how they work. The engagement window is very small (function of the speed of the aircraft as well as the short effective range of the guns) - so the objective is to fire in short burst...

V_Raman

Russian h/w philosophy seems to be lower cost and lower availability compensated by higher numbers. If the costs escalate and comparable to western h/w - we can as well go for western h/w.

First truck mounted AK-630 is now ready for Army trials. Can be used to target Drones, Mortar and Artillery shells from a distance of 5 kms. https://twitter.com/I30mki/status/1230568579621257218?s=20 ---> OFB designed Air Defence Gun! Ugly, but good if it works as AK-630 is locally produced by OFB....

@Pankaj-ji - all this about delhi durbar - bad advice etc. is for public consumption. They know. All this is for public drama only. All efforts to stall NRC should be defeated.

V_Raman

If they have to implement NRC sucessfully - they need BJP or BJP allied govts in majority of the states. So, they will try to get there aggressively in the first 2 years of this term. 3rd year onwards - when and till they have RS majority - they might go for NRC. Bengal elections is the big mileston...

I believe the Indian pharmaceutical regulators recognise only synthetic pathways as patentable.Thus a modified organic chemistry pathway to the same drug is legal in India. That is one of the reasons India is content to let China provide low end pharmaceuticals. Apparently their organic chemistry c...

This is a dumb question - is Rafale a 2-pilot aircraft or single pilot?

but that is backend correct? why protect deposits >5L for customer withdrawals?

Why is the govt trying to save YES bank beyond the 5 lakh deposit insurance?

Britain coming off EU is important - I would expect India to deepen defense collaboration with them - any trade agreement with USA might include Britain as well.

The business mess we have - my take is that NaMo as broken the politician/businessman/bank corruption ring by his transparency measures. No one wanted this - but here we are. Nothing was beyond the realm of politicians. Now a politician has changed the rules and they dont know what to do as all othe...

So the scenario predicted by an Indian in the early 1900s - I forget his name - that China+Islam vs India+West is coming true! Who was that? Any link or book suggestion would be appreciated. China + Pak vs India + US makes sense. China + Islam is questionable. Found it finally - Bipin Chandra ppal ...

are the F16s that super duper airplanes? Then we should just get them IMO!

V_Raman

If the current scenario holds, then more states might be ruled by non-bjp coalition with BJP having central govt and NDA having enough Rajya Sabha Majority seats for the forseeable future.

V_Raman

IMO - many of these posts are very inflammatory and should be removed!

V_Raman

Bring central govt rule in Delhi. It is time to convert delhi back to UT. I never understood why full statehood is needed for NCR. I might be wrong, but is there precedence for this anywhere else in the world? Washington D.C is not a state!

V_Raman

I urge the posters who have suggested violence like D-A-D to remove their posts. It is inflammatory, provocative, and way beyond forum decorum. Please remove!

V_Raman

I dont understand why the Muslim community is worried about NPR and NRC. So what if x million Pakis and Beedis are declared as illegal and deported? How does that affect IM? I can see only one reason. Is there a number defined in the laws on when a community ceases to be a minority? The IM have hidd...

The biggest import India can do from USA is CNG - till then trade imbalance will persist.

One requirement India should have on milk should be for A2 protein. Most of USA milk is of A1 protein while Indian (and i believe most european cows) produce milk A2 protein. A1 protein is suppose to cause lactose intolerance.

I get this uneasy feeling deep down that this is make or break time for India. We are slowly getting priced out of foreign defense items - their tech is reaching a level where they may not allow exports even! We need to grow to 5T and build up domestic industry like there is no tomorrow. Beyond 2030...

It is sad that we have lost Russia as a viable provider in any of these modern weapon systems.

We all are being too dramatic. If there is an issue like nCoV, then Indian streets will look deserted as well.

V_Raman

That is not true. And no tech transfer would have come with EJ200. We dont know that. There is no chance of tech transfer with GE engines. Boeing is not even giving us the HATF promised with offsets. From what I heard, even the tooling GE transferred is sub-standard and they have still not delivere...

V_Raman

I think we got suckered into GE contract for engines! No chance for ToT at all. The only aircraft choice seems to be Gripen and it is on GE engines as well. I wish we had opted for EJ2xx and we might have a chance for tech transfer. Then we could have asked SaaB to get Gripen with EJ2xx engine. We w...

How relevant is manned aircraft induction in 2040 timeframe given that western tech is at F35/Rafale today and next is UCAVs? It would be better if you looked closely at what your enemies will have in the 2040 timeframe. Technology will evolve, but what is it that you're seeing around your borders?...

I dont fully understand why Kaveri as it exists cannot be mated to a LCA and at least ground tested.

I dont think dual citizenship mean free immigration. Existing processes for getting citizenship will stay as is. What does Turkey get out of this? Turks can settle in Pakistan rekindling the Mughal dreams?! I don't see what Pak gets out of this.
