Here is my theory. The people who bought this infection in to India are middle/upper middle class & rich people. What percentage of these would be use a regular transport means like buses or crowded train? Or even be in a very crowded street? Most, but not all. Quite a few were students, religi...

All good feedback I see a dichotomy here. Mil folks on twitter can block those whom they don't want to read. We don't have such a feature in a forum. A query. Not really with relation to Services folk as such.. Is it possible to have a thread with write properties only assigned to users chosen by m...

^ Thakur ji, what do you think about the Knights Light Assault Machine Gun? Similar to ultimax. They share design DNA with common designer. Ah that might account for it then. Thanks. Was/is Ultimax available in 7.62 version? The Knight LAMG (not sure but I think it's name has changed now) covers bo...

It appears from Economic Times article that the factors leading to the decision could be HSL's insistence and legal and financial implications of cancelling the bid. Haven't seen documents of any large defence deals, but have seen and signed with a few commercial deals/contracts with Indian & i...

Actually I honestly wonder about it. Reason being the Mil folk on Twitter do face quite a few idiotic, self-entitled, opionated and at times abusive trolls, with lots of calm & cool. It can't be because the expectations are different.. since the BRF forums are also social media to an extent, or ...

May i ask where in mumbai are they based, Nachiket ji? Vile Parle. OK. Sensible, sleepy, primarily middle-class suburb. Lot of educational institutes. Was always more law-abiding than others. Used to be primarily Maharastrian and Gujarati. Problem is it's proximity to the airport. And next door And...

My parents who have pretty much locked themselves down in their apartment in Mumbai were saying that the southbound traffic on western express highway (which they can see from their window) seems to be back to normal this morning. They were wondering where all those people were going since a lot of...

PM Modi has already tweeted that people need to take the social distancing more seriously and the days curfew was to show that it was possible.

I think he needs to address the nation again soon. Within a day or so

<OT> Enthusiastic clapping, cheering, banging of utensils, bells etc. Started in my Mumbai colony from 4.55 PM itself. Snooty neighbours, feuding cross-colony waalas all joined in. And their pet dogs joined in whole-hearted too, then supported ably by the colony mongrels :) Who would have thought to...

Concur on the meaner and nimbler part. But with our internal challenges (some of which are likely to increase in the 1-2 decades ahead) we do need more boots-on-the-ground too. Unless there is an exponential increase in that other uniformed part of our security apparatus.

Fact is he does not have derision for Indians and Hindus unlike the others. At least I have not observed it. Another fact is he has been hoping for a long time to have a good career in India, as a cricket expert/commentator. He had earlier hoped to be a bigger part of IPL but that got washed out af...

All of them are guilty but not in equal proportions depending upon circumstances and their actions, hence each case of mercy should be heard independent of all others based on its own merit They're all being sentenced for the same crime and given the same punishment, i.e. death by hanging. They're ...

Correct. And there was a very interesting article, posted in these forums, about how his dad didn't allow the coalition government of the day to scuttle the deal (and get it renegotiated) of the Su 30 MKIs by trying to bring in the bogey of corruption. And how ABV, George Fernandes etc were instrume...

The key here is how many more are on death row but nothing is happening, thanks to Judiciary and Law officers. From wiki, as per NCRB, since year 2001- 2328 have been sentenced to death. Only 4 have been hanged. Dhananjoy Chatterjee (2004), Ajmal Kasab (2012), Afzal Guru (2013), Yakub Memon (2015)....

The actual scary thing is that they are deliberately playing to their captive audiences and each one of that audience has the same vote as an aeronautical engineer.

Yay. Good to hear. Onwards now - with increasing speed and strength.

Does BRF have a thread where issues like these are discussed/explained? Our veterans, even after their service, are one of the primary sources of inspiration and recruitment for the next gen.

Here in Mumbai, yesterday BMC has ordered all private offices to keep 50% of staff working from home. Strangely they have given option in some cases to work 'alternately' ? There is 6 months imprisonment and/or fine to owners who do not follow this directive (Under section 10 of the Epidemic Disease...

That’s incorrect it is Tu-22 not Tu-22m, as West didn’t even know about Tu-22m till 1970 and Russia didn’t field them in large number till late 70s.

I concur. The thing to note is that a decision in the west would have made the holding onto east Pakistan untenable at best and ensured that the TSP divisions in the east dies on the vine. It would have been a lot more bloody for us, but who knows what would have happened with a victory in the west...

Manish_P

And whatever those failings were, we still won stinking in the East and fought W. Pakistan offensive to a standstill. So, tell me again why the units that fought in the west and east could not have taken the western half out if they'd been concentrated in the west? IMHO our forces could have, but a...

No need to go to jolly old England for how tactics and training and numbers and sheer guts matter.
