When he refers to the ceramic industry in India, is he mainly referring to pottery and dinnerware? Then it's very believable that the industry is in the doldrums. But what about the ceramic tile sector? There were producers like Kajaria, Jaipur, Regency, Bhor, Somani, Parry et al. Have these all sto...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-urjOFKin8 Abhijeet Iyer-Mitra on the Indian economy. Starting at 1:42, he makes some scathing remarks about the Indian IT industry. And at 17:42, he goes into the Indian ceramic industry, says that India has no ceramic industry right now worth mentioning- it's domin...

^^^ Yah it is very irritating and perplexing, that the same sour pus, petty, shallow demagogic anti-BJP, anti-Hindu panelists appear over and over again on Arnab's show, and on TimesNoW. Why not invite balanced, nuanced, eloquent people more often( like Pavan Verma, Suhel Seth, Chetan Bhagat). They ...

"There is no need to buy inferior Indian guns like Dhanush...less said about the Pinaka..."

Yes, no need to give money to Indian manufacturers of equipment. Give it to Americans, Russians, Israelis, French, British..anyone but Indians.

Demchok: Demchok is very much in India, going by all information. Is it true, though, that there was an older Demchok that was overrun by the Chinese in 1962?

Messages on the NASA forum seem to indicate that the GSLV-GISAT-1 launch is going to take place sometime soon, based on a report that the ISRO chairman is going to advise the public how to watch the launch live. (?)

Air marshal Barbora was very disappointing on the Republic TV Debate today, just going off on a general criticism of China( which was not primarily the topic) rather than going into the details of the specific incident or incidents in Galwan. it was dreary and annoying to listen to him. Being a mili...

Thanks, but does work continue at the Videocon plants in India and globally? Or has everything shut down pending resolution of the debt/insolvency issue? There's some pretty important and/or sophisticated stuff, including colour picture tubes, and oil exploration.

Varoon Shekhar

Does anyone know the status of Videocon Industries? Reason I ask, is it the group is a giant, and it was in pretty serious debt trouble a while back. Has that been resolved in any way? And more importantly, are the diverse industries and companies - electronics, oil exploration, appliances, satellit...

Okay, understandable. But it would be nice to know the status of the other planned major launches, including GSLV-GISAT, SSLV D-1 and several PSLV missions.

Isn't there an ITBP camp at the base of finger 4? How can they build bunker between finger 3 and 4? How accurate if Print.in? I heard that there is no real road there, just a narrow mountain path( if we are referring to the same thing) so then if the Chinese did come past finger 4, they would be in...

Okay, but he( Pillsbury) should at least acknowledge that India has a legitimate concern about terrorism coming from Pakistan, and possible Pakistani military incursions into Kashmir. Rather than linking that to the Indian military's alleged intrinsic preference for Russian military equipment. India...

Varoon Shekhar

There was also a fellow, Michael Pillsbury, a China specialist, on India Today TV. Sympathetic to India vis-a-vis China. But he made the astounding remark, that Indian "military people" have a greater love for Russia than the US. And he cited India's focus on Pakistan as demonstrating that...

Saw Wangchuk on an India Today TV discussion, he seemed pretty genuine, and unwilling to compromise on India's sovereignty and economic self reliance. Referred to the global anger against China. Leftists don't do that.

Can anyone give a detailed, up to date map of Indian Ladakh, showing where India's actual borders extend, keeping in mind the 630 sq km reportedly lost( as mentioned by two posters here in BRF) to China since 2008? The area of Indian Ladakh is, by Wiki, 59,000 sq km. Does this figure need any adjust...

As if the security personnel are omnipotent and omnipres...

The USCIRF is a corrupt organization and racist. Its commissioners, staff, and contractors have an ulterior agenda. This can be proven by showing they've acted far from impartially. They in fact need to be defunded by the US congress. Exactly. It speaks volumes though, that not one official or quas...

More Tibetans, and Zoroastrians, Jews, Jains, Sikhs, and of course balanced adherents of the two largest global religions, should speak out, and counter this garbage. Atheists and agnostics too need to get their voices heard.

When NRC gets going in Karnataka, many non-kannadiga/tulu Hindus are going to be left out and that's going to create another round of controversy. This is puzzling, if true. Why would legitimate citizens be left out of anything, even if there is a desire to affirm the character of a particular stat...

Everytime I see a new posting under this thread, I am just hoping it's to report the commissioning of a reactor, whether in Kalpakkam, Kakrapar, Rawatbhatta or Jaitpur. Alas, no news in this regard

Interesting- India has a higher share of world manufacturing output, than Mexico, France and Italy. Many people wouldn't guess that! Still, there's a long distance to cover.

Notice how all political visitors to India, from Canada( whether liberal or conservative), make a beeline to Amritsar, after the first stop in New Delhi. No Canadian VIP goes to Tirupathi or Varanasi and positively not on any publicised visit.

The ones who did the actual beating should never see the outside of a prison wall again, that is, if they are not given capital punishment. The mob who supported them should be given long prison sentences.

Good decision. I have heard of a Company that has refused major business deals from Islamic nations and China. In the last 20 years they have let go of several opportunities. People like these are around. Wow, that is very impressive and admirable, though I personally don't agree with it. I figure ...

Repudiating the Tibetan government in exile, is an absolute no, no way, no chance. And making concessions on the border is also a very bad and stupid idea.

Philip, awesome! Yes, don't pull punches with China. Throw out as many, if not all Chinese companies, reduce massively if not eliminate Chinese goods, recognise Taiwan, counter China in the Indian ocean, and upscale relations with Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and Cambodia.
