Is there any reason they are not doing a vertical take off of the RLV, with a horizontal landing( as opposed to an air dropped attempt). Is that in the works, after a successful helicopter release and landing?

Varoon Shekhar

^ Yes congrats to ISRO et al on Astrosat even a layman can tell it's an exceptional satellite. Very sour article on Mangalyaan "The missing science..." No appreciation expressed for the achievement or the observations of MOM. Here by contrast, is a very acknowledging video by a non-Indian!...

Varoon Shekhar

Now, just watch some Indians get all melodramatic and maudlin about Amnesty's exit. The old "oh what is happening to the India we knew, with the government's policy on NGOs together with Hindu majoritarianism, intolerance toward minorities and revocation of Article 370" It's almost as pred...

Varoon Shekhar

India positively should not be like China in expansionism, regimentation, brainwashing, authoritarianism. And definitely not a dumping ground for Chinese products!

Varoon Shekhar

Philip, excellent posts. If you look at Chinese comments and responses on various forums, it's all this pompous, arrogant, swaggering, condescending Chinese economy is 800 times India's economy, Chinese military strength is 500 times India's, Chinese exports are 1000 times India..etc. The fact that ...

Is the town of Burtse fully within India( Ladakh)? Maps are not clear on this

Thanks for posting the T.S.Subramanian articles. Really good and detailed, but also understandable for the non-technical layman. And the HSTDV write up led to links to other excellent articles by him.

^ Hi, what is LCHG, couldn't find the direct reference in the article. That suit sounds good, though someone on BR made a distinction between this suit and the ones being provided by Russia. Maybe there isn't really a difference? In which case an explanation is owed by ISRO :) Okay got it- liquid co...

Very upbeat development! Need to get these employed with the forces! Maybe already in use in limited numbers with CRPF for example?

Seatbelts should be mandatory throughout India. Not enough Indians are using them.

Very distressing incident in Bikaner, loss of two Army officers in stupid accident.

News X has a lot of good programs, with definitely a patriotic outlook. Rajya Sabha TV is good with its "Security Scan" and several other shows. Not anti-Dharmic, if not openly and noticeably pro-Dharmic.

I hope he was accurate in some of the information! Probably was. But not about Finger 8.

Varoon Shekhar

Am I misreading/misunderstanding, but this program states that Finger 8 is secure with India(?!?) Other encouraging sounding information and comments from the guests.

I remember the day, it was the first Friday in September, so it's a year! The anticipation, the excitement..alas Were there any more credible theories as to why the Lander failed? And still awaiting a detailed report from ISRO about all the technologies that did work. They mentioned variable propuls...

at 19:13, report of India now holding the North ridgeline of Finger 4

Varoon Shekhar

Can anyone post a very recent map of the Pangong Tso lake, showing exactly the areas that India possesses, and the part totally controlled by China.
The map should include that section of the lake, which is entirely within India. And preferably depict the 'finger' areas which are under contention.

Dr S. Somnath on the ongoing projects of ISRO

Varoon Shekhar

There was a Notam issued about a week back of an impending( Aug 20-22) missile/ vehicle test by India. Here's hoping that it is Drdo's Hstdv, and that this time, the test is unambiguously successful!

Varoon Shekhar

Yes, it's noticeable. Another thing very noticeable, is that there is not even an attempt at objectivity and balance on the issue of Article 370 abrogation, in the non-Indian media in the US and UK. It's all doom and gloom, the sky is falling. Brutal suppression of innocent Kashmiris. And persons of...

Nice to see Doordarshan displaying such an upbeat, almost exhilarating tone, with one lady anchor stating that the event defines what India is, and is an expression of national sentiment. And that too in very good English.

Shanmugan Subramanian, who found the Vikram lander's debris, speculates that Pragyan may have escaped undamaged.

Varoon Shekhar

Even if there is disengagement or even withdrawal, India must not let down its guard, or cease its infrastructure efforts in Ladakh et al.

And the economic disengagement with China must continue apace. China has been allowed to obtain far too much influence in the Indian economy.

Varoon Shekhar

Good info about the precise number of bombs used at Balakot(9). So were the attacks on Chakoti and Muzzafarabad diversionary, to cover for the real strike?

Varoon Shekhar

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 :( Here is one tweet from our PM sent just now :) Congratulations to our nuclear scientists for achie...

In comparison what is Airtel doing? It is tying up with Verizon to launch online meeting service

RIght. Wasn't there a fairly competent Indian video meeting product, that can partially replace Zoom for example. Someone on BR mentioned it a few weeks ago.

Varoon Shekhar

Isn't the area between fnger 4-finger 8 a 'grey area'( thought rightly claimed by India) that India hasn't administered for 60 years? Both countries patrolled this area, China up to finger 2, and India up to finger 8. What changed is that China moved in settlements up to finger 4, so that India coul...

Varoon Shekhar

Is Abhijit Iyer-Mitra's scathing assessment of the Indian IT sector well considered? Or is he being very unfair and vicious with regard to "cyber coolies". India needs those people! And if Indians aren't doing it, other countries will get the jobs- Brazil, Russia, Philippines, Vietnam et a...

Excuse the ignorance, is this the first time that there is an Indian ambassador to Taiwan? If so, nice move. Now if not, what is particularly notable about this appointment( of Mr Das). Edited: Evidently yes! No formal diplomatic relations until now. Excellent!

Varoon Shekhar

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...
