India must cut its addiction to gold - they simply cannot afford it - put a 100% import duty if needed with super strict enforcement!! That alone can save India CAD.

V_Raman

it will take BJP 3 more elections atleast and even then i dont know if they will make any dent in TN. they can work on telangana and KL and finally come to TN

I got educated on why Governor is not inviting TVK in TN - post-poll alliance. If TVK had gone in as SLP - then Governor would have invited them to form govt. There have been only 2 instances where a post-poll alliance was invited to form govt and both controversial Soren - where BJP went to SC and ...

It is ADMK that is at risk of dying - not DMK.

V_Raman

@ChetakJi - that video is from campaigning roadshow - not after results. twitter post is wrong.

V_Raman

yes it is true - ADMK+DMK alliance is being discussed - all other parties with 1/2 seats were aligned with ADMK/DMK pre-election - only INC broke ranks with DMK. Otherwise - TN is in a stalemate at this point. BJP will support the govt - they have supported DMK before and ADMK is NDA. They have only...

All these are speculation right - gov might ask to prove majority - gov might dismiss and impose presidents rule what about gap in power - caretaker CM - what is mamta refuses to be caretake CM - etc... if presidents rule is promulgated for the interim period till swearing-in - what happens to valid...

So what will happen in Bengal - Governor will dissolve the current assembly on May 7 and invite BJP to form govt after that? Is it as simple as that?

V_Raman

In India you can win elections by being pro Muslim or Christian or Sikh etc but you have to tread a fine line and as soon as you cross into being anti-hindu then the electorate will show you the door even though it might take them a while. This is the most accurate view on Indian electorate behavio...

Brahmins hold a lot of sway in TN and many are Tamil stalwarts - there is a brahmin association, brahmin conferences etc. Carnatic music - bharatha natyam - including the world famous margazhi utsavam - is a brahmin celebration. It is a vedic guardian w.r.t correctness of chanting and depth of ritua...

Vijay in TN will be like NaMo - will not give press briefs - would not talk much - Social Media savvy - will control the narrative across his party - popcorn time...

V_Raman

guys - get over this crypto christian stuff - TN is more hindu than any of you can comprehend.

V_Raman

TVK - Vijay is not an idiot - this is a template for rest of India - it will show that India is desperate new political force with clean image...

it sounds bogus that india did not know about pl-15 capabilities and now r-37M will neutralize it. if india did not really know about pl-15 capabilities - then it is a unmitigated disastrous failure!! Was the PL-15 used anywhere operationally and recovered for analysis before we got hold of it? Did...

India should get back the key API industries it lost for pharma asap.

IMO - India will be in conflict with USA - in a decade or maybe two. We better be ready...

DMK has carefully appropriated low caste planks by hijacking what other parties or people did. but they are slowly getting exposed. The movie - Maamannan - where a low caste politician becomes speaker - it was actually done by Jayalalitha - but DMK Udayanidhi is the hero - this is being pointed out ...

Why this bill now - it came as a surprise - is there any angle here I am missing? Prep for 2024?

V_Raman

i dont get how touch controls on a lcd/led screen is safe for plane. you need to look at them to make them work - cars are now going back to buttons to improve safety

V_Raman

This whole catapult based carriers might become obsolete pretty fast due to mainstreaming of VSTOL especially with drones. RR VSTOL module seems reusable across engines.

V_Raman

Why do we need catapult based carriers when VSTOL modules are now mainstream? cant india develop a domestic one with RR VSTOL module used in F35?

Bharat and China have earned good positions to not be messed with on a whim thats all. They can still be messed with if the intent is there. Most serious observers consider Bharat and China as status quo powers since last 2000 years, they don't need to "earn anything". Others come and go....

I expected Iran to put up a good fight. Shah was the tinpot regime with elites oppressing the majority - and this is the legitimate govt of Iran - it is western propaganda to call it mullah regime. But global empire is still just one - USA. Bharat and China have earned good positions to not be messe...

Further: By abdicating responsibility for the strait and saying it should be someone else’s problem, America is inviting into existence a rival economic and military alliance. … … It is one thing to inch away from the obligations of empire. It is another thing entirely to create the conditions for ...

Massa is a rich ass country - all this inflation talk - is just hyperbole. They can handle it - especially if this means extending Pax America

I dont want to sound pick me - but how come Pak is always in such situations to host mediation meetings - why cant it be India?

One outcome of recent wars - conventional BMs are useless in a war

I don’t think Russia.will intervene. It is busy replenishing the coffers with oil sales to India. Who has a single crew for a ship? Maybe idk how these things work - can’t they rotate the crew and continue to operate the carrier? V_Raman ji, Rotate over 5000 people at one go........... :mrgreen: No...

There is no way this operation is a overnight Trump tantrum - curious if NaMo was given a heads up during his Israel visit.

I wonder if they crossed a point of certainty with the location of the underground bases that made this operation viable.

Since when does BR quote anti-semitic tropes to dismiss facts - that is a low bar for the forum...

What the british ambassor said is the fact and needs to be accepted.

I would not be surprised if USA mounts a full scale assault with casualties to get Hormuz under control. That will secure Pax Americana for another century atleast with a very small price to pay compared to WWII. Trump is very capable of that IMO and they have the perfect situation for that - Russia...

This following may help explain why the US is in such deep doo-doo. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2026/03/05/in-25-country-survey-americans-especially-likely-to-view-fellow-citizens-as-morally-bad/ https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2026/03/pr_2026.03.05_international-mo...

Well if people are listening to me and bothered by what I say when I dont care about them any which ways - i will publish a report as well - Free entertainment - It is India's mistake that we care about these things!

V_Raman

I dont think we should have LPG for home and work towards moving to all electric coupled with aggressive home based solar over next decade. IMO that is more sustainable, even cheaper, and furthers energy security!

LPG subsidy could be added to home solar subsidy if used for cooking!

GCC - has been shown for that they are - the are a bunch of pu..es who cannot do anything with the 100s of billions they spent on their military - defensive weaponry on the cheap by the thousands is the need of the hour for such countries - huge opportunity for India IMO - we might even setup manufa...

USA today reminds me of the tamil movie Saamy - new police hero will go to the head goonda and tell him what he is going to do and then do it. Then the goonda will compliment him - this guy is not bad. He is telling me what he is going to !! This feels similar. Suits India well - paying lip service ...

I think we should disabuse ourselves of the notion that any gulf country will have influence over IM - regardless of their type of govt - those days are gone! Same goes for Pak/Bdesh!!

V_Raman

IMO USA has cornered itself by saying it is only against the regime and that restricts their bombing surface area. This cannot be like Iraq. So interesting times ahead. India Oil/LNG - they might need to find backup sources asap . V_Raman ji, Russia steps in with 9.5 million barrels as India braces...
