Every state has rules to protect vulnerable classes. There are similar rules about land ownership in Himachal, in UttaraKhand.. there are laws that prevent sale or transfer of land owned by SC/ST to a non SC/ST. One could argue about the ethics or constitutionality of these laws, but they are prefer...

^Shanmukh: I think your data points are correct. What we saw in 2014 was a polarized electorate with the valley voting for soft separatists. The failure of this alliance is also a failure of governance and both parties are responsible for this failure. IMO, along with Mehbooba Mufti, Rajnath Singh ...

1) UN Report on "Human Rights Violations" in J&K, from a pure Hurry-rat/HM/LeT perspective, as ventriloquized by "Amnesty International". 2) Report of similar tone and content in National Geographic magazine in US, which in general steers clear of political stories. Oh yes. ...

Cant help but chuckle at Shujaat Bikharis murder. Watching his twitter feed, I think he criticized some murders of local Kashmiri policemen/armymen during eid and that was reason enough for some jihadis to spray bullets at him and his security detail. The hate spread by his fellow Islamists and Kash...

Army men trying to convince the family of a terrorist jihadi to persuade him to surrender. I dont understand why this kind of people are not sent to Pakistan where they can continue to engage in jihad to their hearts content.

Possibly two or three tonnes can be reduced by replacing steel wheels with alloy, replace regular steel in trails with ultra-high-strength steel or titanium.

Of course the army knows what such a gun should weigh. Let’s not believe the numbers on a media report. The knowledge of our reporters to interpret technicalities is subhanallah!

Brahmos directors have made these claims, but the proof of the pudding is in eating it. I'll believe these claims when they actually fly it. Otherwise the next gen of Brahmos is always, just a few years away.

Do these 2 foreign designs honestly look that much more TFTA than the OFB Dhanush Mounted Gun? Get a better paint job and then people will be going waah waah over the desi solution as well.

BARAK-ER is a much better option. The S400 range of 400 kms appears to be the differentiator, but our major urban centers are far apart, not so close that a single S400 battery can provide protection to two or more, so we can realize the cost savings.

Wait for THAAD? Why not collaborate with western countries for THAAD like local solutions? Alliances are the way these confrontations work. What options do we have?

Its amazing that when F16 purchases are pushed by the OEM, Rus rakshaks jump up and down claiming Pak has the same weapon. Rus Rakshaks also want to purchase an off the shelf Rus SAM that is also operated by our primary strategic enemy, Cheen, that Rus appears to be politically, economically and str...

How can we expect an S400 to protect against Cheen that is itself a user of the system? This would be like trying to buy F16s back in 89.

The issue in Arjun vs T90 is not light armor vs heavy armor.. They are both playing the same role. The issue is, if a breakthrough is achieved, can the cavalry exploit it? Can it make 'fast flanking moves'.. If every 3-4 meter wide canal needs bridging equipment to cross, I dont think you can mainta...

Not necessarily.. Arjun is also wider and taller. In addition, the T90 has the same Kanchan armor as the Arjun. T90 tank has kanchan armor? Very interesting, Source please?

For the love of God, someone should just weld a bustle to the back of the T90 turret and store the extra propellant charges there! Our cavalry will suffer horrendously if they ride into battle sitting atop cordite! This is not rocket science!

I agree with all your assertions and I hope we all heed your urge. I will try to moderate on similar lines. At the same time, the engineer in me does revolt a little.

T90 today has three major flaws. 1. Propellant stored all over the crew compartment. 2. Short APFSDS. 3. Lack of hard kill active protection systems. All three issues are fixable.. A small bustle can be mounted to the rear of the turret where at least the propellant charges can be stored, if not the...
