So what would they have done different if it was a full blown operation/ war? Since this is a combat tactic thread lets get specific. Complete destruction of the country from day one. Something like the "shock and awe" that happened in Iraq for 40 days. Nothing left when the ground forces...

It is not new. I suspected this during my frequent travels. Unshaved smelly ,yellow teeth. I Imentioned this before..

chetak The YouTube presentation misses an important point. The Railways have pricing freedom in 3 Tier AC seats that they lack in non-AC 3 Tier seats. Non AC 3 Tier fares are highly politicized for decades. You may recall that the former Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi belonging to the TMC had to re...

But wouldn't the store owner not do something about this? I saw the video clip. The protesters, a handful really, were emptying out 5 litre milk cans on the store floor and what looked like store security staff were simply watching by. Nandakumarji, In law, such a matter is at best defined as crimi...

Thanks yensoy and Thakhur_B. I worked for some years in Tata Motors at their trucks plant. There was an intense debate at one time, about switching over to aluminium for cylinder blocks from SG Iron. While aluminum reduced the machining time the incremental cost was disproportionately large. The red...

Is the engine in a tank different from those used in earth moving equipments or other commercial applications? I ask because India does manufacture higher horse power rated engines. Cummins India had claimed, if I recall correctly, that it can deliver 1500 hp rated engines.

As far as I can recall, the constitutionality of Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code which made adultery a criminal offence was decided way back in 2018. The SC Bench led by Dipak Misra then struck it down as it violated the Constitutional principle that no person can be discriminated on grounds of...

I am slow and ignorant of the ways of the Momin, so please indulge me. When the practitioners of The One True Faith head west and live in a liberal democracy like UK (or rest of western Europe), do they still practice polygamy? How? Is this allowed openly or is this hush hush? In the UK, you are mo...

Vadivel I am in agreement with you that UPI transactions should not be subjected to a charge, though not for the reasons that you cite namely, that it is a 'public good'. It should not be subject to a levy because the banks are already benefiting from it. I did a back-of-the-envelope calculation som...

I’ve lost hope for India and Hindus. Jaichands have managed to create many such Islamist ghettos in India and completely displaced local Hindu population.

Now that PAN and AADHAR have been linked, EPFO must be required to make account and balance details available to all Aadhar enrollees based on their PAN data.

On the question of Imposing a charge on UPI transaction we still do not know if the merchant or the customer will have to make a payment for the convenience. But this much is certain the intermediaries will be paid. This becomes clear when you read the discussion note put out by the RBI. They are no...

If we assume profit maximisation as the goal for a business (be it private or public sector) why would it deliberately avoid picking the best talent to fill up a position be it a man or a woman? So the Mihir Sharma argument that we need more women participation in the workforce is a strawman argument.

@Shwetankji are you saying women should not have professional jobs or run businesses? Both my parents worked and I agree they were easier times compared to the corporate hustle today but if we can encourage WFH where possible and flex times surely it is a win-win? To my mind in India far worse situ...

On the subject of BSNL, the greatest advantage that it has is the statutory right to lay cable underground for the last mile. In my neighborhood there are at least six to seven DTH and telecom players having their cables strung from electric posts and tree tops. Every one of them is a sitting duck f...

Oh... But how could the bank make a unilateral decision to do that without buyin from the public? When you think about it the decision is only a minor variant of Central Banks such as the RBI imposing a moratorium on withdrawals in the case of a failing bank.

My knowledge of the US society is based on what I glean from news reports and commentary. This ( https://nypost.com/2022/07/14/eco-warri ... ew-cities/) fascinated me. I wonder if envy of the elite is masquerading as environmental activism.
