Number of drone strikes within Pakistan under Obama-Biden: 373.
Number of drone strikes within Pakistan under Trump: 5.

I will take Biden over Trump any day from either an Indian or American viewpoint.

Don't want to do the election to death, but let us not make the mistake of betting on the wrong horses for the next few decades and project the future political makeup of the United States based on demographics. If there is one thing we have learnt from this election, it is the fact that the urban a...

Update from the University of Leipzig regarding their racist prof:

Summary: They're doing nothing.

@Ramana: This is what I tweeted to them:
Still waiting with bated breath to see if bigot profs with delusions of racial purity have a place in your univ

@Unileipzig replied to my tweet and said:
In the next days, this issue is being reviewed by our internal committees (rectorate, dean council and senate)

Very detailed article about how censorship works in China. It goes way deeper than just "banning" something.

FYI - If you want to tweet , @unileipzig appears to be the twitter handle of the University of Leipzig. Make your opinions known.

Madhusudhan

Folks, can we leverage social media with a concerted campaign to boycott Leipzing University until this bigot professor is fired? I'm sure gurus here and help put together a coherent message that we can all post on our social media pages.

Madhusudhan

A mature response would have been to say "We acknowledge that there is an underbelly of society both in India and in other countries that engages in depraved sexual violence. All open and tolerant societies with the problem of sexual violence need to do some soul searching and find solutions to...

That is one smart & brave kid. He will do well in life. His tormentors will be having domestic fights in their double wide with their alcoholic and meth-head partners 15 years from now.

I don't praise TOI often but this is very well done.. Perfect coverage of this incident exactly like the condescending Atlanticist rags would cover anything about India.

Martin Luther King would be shocked at the level of racial intolerance in America.

Looks like the Australian police learnt some lessons from 26/11.. The first thing they did was a media cordon and were very strict about it.

Found this on rediff regarding strobe Talbott's quote: "India and the US are not now, and may never be allies. And, by the way, one reason we may never be or not, in the foreseeable future, is because there is still a huge constituency in support of India's non-aligned status, despite the fact ...

Being a moderate rebel is like being slightly pregnant.

See how the US media covered the US shoot-down of Iran Air 655 versus KAL 007 in the past. No different now:

My goodness. Such big protests for the Gaza military operation. Have we heard anything from these humanitarians on the 100s of people being killed regularly by Boko Haram?

Madhusudhan

Ukraine shot down Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 carrying a lot of Israelis in 2001. Also FYI - After the USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air 655 carrying 293 passengers, the captain of the USS Vincennes was given a legion of merit for his service..... Just FYI to keep in mind when you hear the the Obama...

Madhusudhan

Find it hard to believe that a bunch of ragtag rebels can operate this:

Madhusudhan

A. This was done by Pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine
B. This was done by interests that would like to see Ukraine join EU and NATO eventually. What better motive than to intervene to avenge the murders of NATO citizens?
C. This was done by Ukraine. They screwed up.

Madhusudhan

I wish people who do this would get punished, but look up what the US did to the crew of the USS Vincennes that shot down Iran Air 655, killing 290 people, or what the Russians did to the Su-15 pilot & his commander that shot down KAL007, killing 269 people.

Madhusudhan

If the same thing happened over an ocean in someplace that is not a conflict zone, we would still be searching for wreckage trying to figure out what happened.

Madhusudhan

Unlikely to be Russian army since it was well within Ukrainian territory and Buk does not have the range. It's either separatists or Ukraine. Should know quickly hopefully.

I think those arabized SDREs are really SDGEs

Madhusudhan

Israel's response may seem brutal, but they are 6 million Jews living in a region with more than 400 million Arabs who would like to see them gone. They are doing what they need to do to survive. They are making the consequence of any brutality from Hamas so unbearable to the entire Palestinian popu...

Madhusudhan

Showing up for a high-profile dinner and photo op is what I would classify as attention seeking. Maturity and Confidence would mean just doing transactional business until the SD attitude changes.

Madhusudhan

I would disagree with that position. It would show India as willing to be run over, beaten up, and then running back to the US like an abused pet or spouse. Until the SD attitude changes, there should be no business as usual.

Madhusudhan

If that is indeed true, I will reiterate that Modi should really cancel his visit until the SD reverses their position. Their current position is an unacceptable intervention into the internal judicial affairs of India and should not be tolerated at all.

Madhusudhan

Do we really need these missiles at 3x the price? Are there not alternate suppliers? I'm not an expert on these missiles, specific usages, or if alternates can serve the purpose for the military, but just curious. Seems like a criminal waste of taxpayer resources unless we are missing some other fin...

Madhusudhan

Modi really ought to cancel his visit to the US in light of the condescending comments on the Gujarat riots from McCain and Obama. The only appropriate, acceptable response from any American politician asked about the riots can be "That is an internal issue of India which has already been ruled...

Americans are going around the world and engaging in humane conservation efforts:

Madhusudhan

Modi needs to announce immediate cancellation of the US visit, and wait for a more friendly government to be in place in the US to grow any ties.
