This characterisation also applies to India vs China. It is almost never placed in the context of democracy/freedom vs communism/authoritarianism, or moderation and peacefulness vs militarism and expansionism. It is merely a border dispute, and one in which India can be accused of being unreasonable...

Excellent! What are the Indian inputs into the MRSAM?

I couldn't see the Kashmir Files last night, in a theatre north of Toronto, Canada. Tickets all sold out, despite being shown on 4 screens at the same time. Great that a lot of Indians/ethnic Indians, are coming out to see the movie.

^ There have been passing mentions of the number of tests of Prithvi, Akash and Brahmos( and these appeared on BR years ago) made by defense officials, and their numbers did not match the closely followed, officially announced tests. For example one official( in DRDO or the military) made reference ...

^ Makes total sense Rsatchi! It explains many things. It's another matter that Hindu/Dharmic culture is not imposing, displacing, let alone eradicating or genocidal. The media and academic either are so jaded, that they don't know this, and are subconsciously projecting their own guilt and history o...

Nice article by Harsh Pant and co, but when did India test Shaurya in 2021? The last test was in Sept/2020. Unless it was a very discreet test that was announced later. Agni-1P was launched on Dec 18th. Technicalities, but..

Nice development, without a question. Didn't the removal of Article 370 more or less imply that? Or was there another step that needed to be taken.

Horrendous tragedy.

Successful Brahmos test

Some good news, on a tragic and depressing day.

Those are two very different missiles, Nirbhay and VL-SAM. Were there two separate tests, or were the initial reports of Nirbhay being launched, an error?

"Probably because our education system(and society) doesn't teaches anything good about Hindus. It's all about the glorification of Mughals, the "Martial race" and how cool Bolsheviks or french revolution were. Creates some kids with zero self-respect." True, I've even met Indian...

Chandrayaan-2 was originally supposed to be operational in orbit for one year, but special manoeuvres in the launch phase, will allow it to be in good shape for 7 years. Mangalyaan was planned for 6 months, but has survived, and functioned for 7 years and 2 months now!

^ And the tragic, infuriating reality of incidents like the above, is that not enough people are moved enough to comment, if they are aware of it in the first place. Among Indians working in Canada( let alone PIOs who are usually a bit removed from India) one rarely hears a conversation like " ...

"Persecution complex is such a simple but yet such a powerful drug." The explanation must be this, perhaps with a little lucre thrown in by some paymaster. The interesting thing about TIbet, is that all the reasons political commentators offer to explain, mitigate or even in some cases, ju...

^ Sickening. No reason or justification for it. What exactly is the 'alienation' or 'resentment towards the policy of the central government' or 'retaliation for human rights violations under AFSPA' that brought this about? What cultural suppression, what severe displacement or blatant economic expl...

^ Good move to disallow Dhaliwal and no doubt many other NRIs. Can this be done to actual Indian citizens/residents participating in anti-Hindu/anti-India activities abroad? Like those who attended the dismantling global Hindutva conference? I think Cyrano said that there is no basis legally or mora...

Thanks for opening this topic. In this war by official sources, Pakistani casualties, both military and Pathan raiders, were about 5 times India's. India lost about 1200 and Pakistan over 6000. Is this fairly accurate?

Varoon Shekhar

Congrats to DRDO! Now waiting for a possible announcement that this test had a MIRV with 6-8,( or4-6) payloads released. Of course, even if it didn't, it's still a very good and timely launch.

Always liked his posts on BR in the late 90s, early 2000s.

Look at this AP snippet, equating rampaging Islamic mobs with Hindus protesting for their lives and property. Typical of the local Canadian paper to report it like this. No mention of attack on ISKCON/Hare Krishna temple. https://www.thestar.com/news/world/asia/2021/10/16/muslims-hindus-protest-amid...

Thanks for the great news mody! Now they must sustain this counter assault, and not be lulled into complacency. BTW, all the killings of non-Moslem( and one Moslem) civilians, by terrorists, are outrageous and horrendous, but the murder of the street vendor from Bhagalpur is particularly bad. Here w...

"one poster on this forum had hinted that 'don't think that the latest advertised tests are THE latest tests'." That can't be true of a 5000+ Agni range missile, it's likely that many Prithvi, Brahmos and Akash missile launches were not announced. And that even when they were, something el...

Yes, eagerly awaiting the Agni-5 test with MIRV, tomorrow or Friday.

Varoon Shekhar

Cyrano, so you don't think it's a good idea to ban these people from re-entering India? What more can the media in the US/UK say, that they haven't already? It's not like they will take the position " We didn't think highly of Modi and the BJP, but this is the last straw" or "We had d...

^ It's the failure to think strategically. Now at least, with India being threatened in Kashmir, India should not only strengthen itself immensely, but form a coalition of Dharmic and other sympathetic countries( i.e Philippines) to counter, and eventually defeat the Islamists and their supporters. ...

A sensible response to the issue of Nehru and others going to jail, is simply to state that the imprisonment and sacrifices of individuals at a particular juncture in history must be acknowledged and respected.

The GOI should crack down on all the jokers in the above list, using all and every means at its disposal. The fact we just nod our heads and let these things happen is what makes us as a soft state.
